I'm generously curious.  Because none of these things physically harm people, nor are they crimes.  They all share a common response: being offended, hurt, disrespected, etc.

If you're wondering why some allow the act of burning a flag to greatly upset them, do you wonder the same for across the board?

Slurs, fat-shaming and the like are directed at specific individuals and can be insulting and hurtful

Burning a flag is just directed at a flag*.





*I apologize to anyone who identifies as a flag and might be offended by this comment
