The simple explination for why we need to allow all kinds of speech, especially the unpopular speech, is that opinion changes and our understanding of fact changes and evolves through time. That which seems impossible or ignorant may be fact. And things that are blatantly offensive could one day be stridently held public opinion. Besides freedom of speech is not needed to protect that which is popular or easy to say. You need the freedom not only to question authority but to intentionally offend people. Art may be intentionally offensive in order to provoke an emotional responce from people. It may be childish to do so but art is supposed to evoke our emotions, its not just pretty pictures, its supposed to draw up a sublime human emotion or the act of provoking political outrage it could draw your attention to beliefs that you hold and expressing them in that way points out to you that they are foolish.

But, even if absolutely no good is served and certain speech is only hatefull, hurtfull, and helps noone it needs to be protected because ligislating freedom of speech away is a slippery slope. That and I hate you. It would rip me up inside to not be able to tell you how much I loathe your existance. Legislating freedom of speech away is a slippery slope because of how difficult it is to design rules to govern human behavior.

I hate you
