so crazy to me how many ppl act like not knowing abt major global events is normal and think of things like reading the news as the hobby of certain individuals rather than um recognizing that staying informed about the planet is like ? essential?

Hello, I saw your article entitled "WHY DEFEND FREEDOM OF ICKY SPEECH?" And I'd like to ask... Are you normalizing lolicon now? It's not just a made-up story where there's inappropriate content with children, where it's portrayed as something terrible. It's portrayed as something normal and sexy😦

This article?

As I point out in the article, I'd not actually read any lolicon, and 16 years later, I still haven't. As I say in it:

Still, you seem to want lolicon banned, and people prosecuted for owning it, and I don't. You ask, What makes it worth defending? and the only answer I can give is this: Freedom to write, freedom to read, freedom to own material that you believe is worth defending means you're going to have to stand up for stuff you don't believe is worth defending, even stuff you find actively distasteful, because laws are big blunt instruments that do not differentiate between what you like and what you don't, because prosecutors are humans and bear grudges and fight for re-election, because one person's obscenity is another person's art.

Because if you don't stand up for the stuff you don't like, when they come for the stuff you do like, you've already lost.

…anyway

hello beloveds ☺️

Fandom Problem #4687:

When there's a hot woman everyone agrees she's "only there for STRAIGHT MEN to OGLE" and when there's a hot man people are excited "for the gays!!" (men).

Women, obviously, are never ever attracted to anyone! Lesbian, bi, straight, doesn't matter. We hate looking at attractive people across the board, always! We're just happy to see a woman dressed in an ugly oversized burlap sack because at least she's not being objectified. obvious /s

Mothra vs. Godzilla (1964) // Monarch: Legacy of Monsters (2023-2024)

It always devolves into the same argument which is of course they are the supreme arbiters of what constitutes as "healthy censorship", but their rationalization is wholly dependent on some invisible, undefinable line of "this is gross/justifiable to cut" vs "this is righteous/deserves to exist", not understanding that these exact sentiments have been and will be used against them by their enemies. Just say you hate art and go.

Stellar Blade Censorship

Once again, something risque gets censored and people rush in to say "omg who cares" or "stop being horny".

I'm not big on the game. But the devs had a vision and it was censored. Sony is notorious for stupid censorship of games produced outside of the EU/America and this is another case of it.

Remember what they did with DMC5? Among other games.

We are at a point where corporations are trying to pressure out anything NSFW, like Gumroad evicting anything too risque at the behest of Mastercard and Stripe.

And this is the exact same sentiment. I do not care if it's only adding a bit of fabric to her outfits or the gore is toned down. It is still censorship and against the devs' artistic vision.

The fact that people are willing to let this slide because a personal bias or prudishness is absolutely shameful. If you don't like the art, that doesn't mean you should approve of the art getting censored for no damn reason.

It seems so easy to make people defend censorship. All you have to do it cover a bit of skin and they'll shrug, yet they'll be surprised when their NSFW artist friend gets nuked off of a site.

Stop defending censorship of art for the sake of corporate approval/sensibilities.

So much luck for such a little piggy 💚🍀🐷🍀💚
