The left hasn't been known for using logic. Their thought process is usually based on feelings and emotions that can change from one minute to the next and often contradict themselves.
One is printed and issued by (and therefore, implicitly endorsed by) the State, the other is not. That's the difference here.
Freedom of speech is issued by the federal government and license plate censorship blatantly violates that freedom of speech.
Ummm even the movie industry is leaving California. California rank 4th behind Louisiana for places movies are being shot and produced.
I don't think it is unreasonable that certain plates are denied, but I don't think it should be for politically correct reasons. The same type of language that is "censored" by the FCC (swear words) are reasonable to prevent from use on plates. Many people wouldn't want that language pushed in front of their kids. I don't find MRDR PNY offensive at all other than I hate the blacked out look and think it is silly someone came up with the term "Murder" for blacking out a car.
The state is not prohibiting anyone from putting offensive messages on their car. They just aren't willing to, or required to, print it themselves. The 1st Amendment doesn't guarantee the right to have the state print and issue a license plate that says anything you want.
