  > I don't know what the right answer is to people doing weird stuff in enclosed places with a captive audience is.

Punish the people who act.

Seriously, think about the fear here. That someone's trivial to ignore tacky political statement causes what problem? That it causes a fight to erupt? Arrest the person who actually starts the fight.

Do not police the actions of reasonable people just because they might upset unreasonable people. This is absolutely insane! You are just creating a world of Karens and crazy people by enabling them. The people that should get in trouble are the ones who start a fight.

FFS we're talking about a device's name. How often do you even see other device's names? Are you just staring at the WiFi and Bluetooth broadcasts all day? That's mental! You only see it when you switch to the plane's WiFi and then it is done. Over. You don't have to see it again. Anyone that is upset enough to start a fight over such a little thing should absolutely be arrested because they are clearly going to start a fight over some other absolutely bullshit and arbitrary thing. That's a person that is looking for a reason to be upset. That is a person looking for a reason to be angry. That is a person looking for a reason to start a fight. That is a person who is mentally insane.

>How often do you even see other device's names?

If it was seen by nobody, it wouldn't be named that way.

And it wouldn't be brought to captain's attention.

Also: there are 300 people on a large flight. A lot of people put their phone in airplane mode, and then have to reconnect their Bluetooth headphones.

>You don't have to see it again.

You don't have to see it once.

The airplane isn't a place for political rallies, and the captain figured that one person seeing this is enough.

>Anyone that is upset enough to start a fight over such a little thing should absolutely be arrested

I agree, and that's what the captain said.

The captain asked for the person to shut that device off.

They didn't. They were willing to start a fight over it.

Whoever reported the stupid Bluetooth name wasn't starting a fight. That was a non-confrontational act.

The captain wasn't starting a fight. He gave an order.

The edgy passenger decided to fight and not comply with the captain's directions.

>That is a person who is mentally insane

Indeed.

Naming a device like this and bringing it onto a plane is actually what’s mental. People are tired of this reactionary content already and it needs to end. People need to remember what a CIVILIZED society is.

Big reaction that misses the nuance in what I said. Can you read the sentence after the one you quoted?
