Quillette has been an interesting source of ideas. Though this article was published a couple of months ago, it makes some valuable points about what is the purpose of free speech. https://quillette.com/2019/08/18/free-speech-matters-even-when-its-not-protected-by-the-first-amendment/ UPDATE: 20200916 Well said. https://www.thegospelcoalition.org/article/condemning-cuties-noncontroversial/ For a response (with which I disagree): https://quillette.com/2020/09/17/dont-listen-to-the-outrage-cuties-is-a-great-film/ Rom 3:8 “And why not do evil that good may come?—as some people slanderously charge us with saying. Their condemnation is just.”

It’s great to see discussions like these happening. While I may have worded the counsel provided in this article differently, I think it is still very useful. There’s also some good import from this article on how does our faith influence our art. https://www.thegospelcoalition.org/article/not-cliquish-silent-faith-work/ UPDATE: 20191017 A solid basic introduction to the Bible and friendship. Another good serieson friendship from TGC by Kevin DeYoung, which I utilized in some discipleship meetings with a student, is his “The Gift of Friendship and the Godliness of Good Friends”.
