I get irrationally angry whenever I see censored text in a post. It only draws more attention to it. And I don’t buy the ‘avoiding offense’ argument. Talking around a topic is still talking about it. The only thing it does is show complacency with advertisers and the algorithm.

I made this meme myself out of frustration and I’ve noticed the occasional post that apologizes for a pre-censored post or image. I like to think my meme was the reason.

never give up any of your rights, or any one else’s, just because “you’re not using them”.

reminds me of: “saying you don’t care about privacy rights because you have nothing to hide is like saying you don’t care about free speech because you have nothing to say”

I feel for younger americans. Your older generations ruined the country for you and now as a last effort they voted trump in.

Even if it is just porn.

What I want to see either outlawed or behind strict age verification is online gambling, including in videogames as loot boxes as well things like counter strike skin casinos. That would be dope and cool and epic but it seems like there’s not much political will for that sort of idea. It will probably take a high ranking politician’s child spending thousands to gamble to get any sort of response.

They call anything they don’t like “porn”. Gay romance is “porn”. Drag queens are “porn”. Acknowledging the existence of trans people is “porn”. Anything relating to queerness whatsoever is “porn”.

So when they push to ban porn, realize that this isn’t actually about porn. It’s about “porn”.

When I was in grade school I used to walk thru the alleys just to get the discarded porno mags exclusively to carefully read the articles later under my bed sheets. I graduated from college and are married and got kids. I think I’m OK mentally. But when am I supposed to be a lost soul? I gotta prepare for that. Probably need to lose a few tens of pounds.

I almost was kicked out of an ethics class. Because a girl got triggered that I defended artists who might draw Lolita imagery. I have no love for what they do. But I explained to the class. That any censorship of art would open up doors to destroy any art considered risqué.

Sensitive children shouldn’t be in college if they can’t accept that their world view is always right.

Wait, am I supposed to be outraged because some content can be tagged NSFW?
