Obvious smut is the exception, I dare say.

What's wrong with obvious smut?

It's disgusting, and bad for plants.

Some people are all about that exhibition. Different strokes for different folks is a sexual reference, you know.

Censorship is becoming ridiculous.

Street names are being changed, TV series episodes being removed, words are being changed...

Politicians and other people deciding such things are being caught themselves for all kinds of wrong.

And here in Belgium for example can our royalty just keep on doing what they do while they are a big example of wrong:, being able to still pass status, privileges and wealth over the bloodline just because someone took power once.
If something should not be of this era anymore...

If one is so stupid of thinking that making something disappear will make things better... Then they shouldn't cast out the news, block as good as every movie, forbid hell of a lot of songs, forbid a lot of sports...

I don't think if for example rapes would stop if we made the concept disappear and never spoke of it again.

It's all about education, context, thinking for yourself, building towards a decent society...

But I guess sticking our heads into the ground is just much easier.

As a respectful loli appreciator I highly agree.

I've changed my position.

Loli art shouldn't be banned outright but everyone who enjoys loli art and makes it should receive psychiatric help

Revisionism. They're not removing them, they're changing them to what they want them to say/mean.

They obey the mob and if they can get what the mob can give them, power, they'll agree to anything.

No matter if it's a dictatorship, a monarchy, or a representative republic, the few always only govern by the consent of the many. "The Many" always have the choice and the true power to make change happen.

So... do that?

For the completely fictional content that somebody consumes?

Yes

though i agree with most of your post, all books are not art lulz

They are.

There is a clear difference between books of artistic literature and books that have information and studies and books with some certain topics. Still no book should be destroyed, banned or censored. Knowledge is power. Don't agree with a book? Put it back on the shelf respectfully.

Wanting no censorship and not wanting your values to be the dominating is a philosophy for the weak, the pushovers.

When one side fights for censorship and the other fights for none, the side that supports censorship always wins. The only way to win is to fight fire with fire but may those with the superior values and whom are not corrupted by degeneracy be the ones who wield the power.

how do you know your values are superior

Why do so many of these people bring up things that literally don't exist?

How far down silliness have we gone that they don't ever even check up to see if it's correct? It speaks volumes about their laziness and dishonesty.

What I find amusing is that I saw the other day that all books that have been banned in certain places thus far have had their sales skyrocket.

It's almost like not only are they lying but they're wrong too ;)

If they omitted placing 50 shades of labias and the Enchiridion of ♥♥♥♥ on the front shelf (in the children's section) at your local library, consider yourself blessed.

Ok, that isn't happening at all, also, there's such a thing called age restrictions, ever heard of them?

The banning of "To Kill a Mockingbird" and "Of Mice and Men" is just plain stupid.

I'd rather have no book censorship than "some" censorship.

The problem ALWAYS arises with WHO gets to CHOOSE what is censored or not.

If you wanna slap a warning sticker on some "questionable material", fine.

Ultimately if someone doesn't want to read something then they shouldn't read it, not go out of their way to make sure others can't read it.

Individuals should ultimately be the ones to decide if they want to read something or not, not the government or corporations or boards of "concerned people". :marten_sip:

The warning sticker method is a good method, it doesn't remove anything and just says that it is inappropriate.
