censoring media(shows/comics/games) over its contents is bad I think... not because of the contents itself, but rather what is marked as "obscene"...this could push more censorship that specifically harms marginalized people. - ThreadSky

The song is called Miracle Man, for those who are curious. The music video for it is AWESOME, by the way!

One thing I have always found funny is that on the other site, a christian conservative came after me and tried to say that religion, specifically christianity, has never caused any harm. I mean, seriously,one of Ozzy Osbornes best songs was about Jimmy Swaggart. Do you realize how badly you have

btady138.bsky.social•74 days ago

to fuck up for him to make a hit single about you?

driftintomadness.bsky.social•73 days ago

honestly agree, I can get adding warnings but full censorship is kinda cringe

yaguyalt.bsky.social•74 days ago

I genuinely think censorship is a tool for evil and has done way more harm than good

problemnyatic.bsky.social•74 days ago

No such thing as "just a little" censorship. There is no implementing a way to inforce it without it being vulnerable to appropriation. Even a hypothetical "objectively good" censor is still no less a censor than any other, and thus can be used for ANY purpose.

The definitions of what makes something qualified for censorship can and thus inevitably will get expanded. So long as this gun is on the table, anyone can fucking use it, and point it anywhere, no matter what "the rules" are. Censorship is just not the fuckin answer, no matter the question.

For me it feels like it was left purposely vauge on purpose to exercise more control on the people

oakblu.bsky.social•74 days ago

It will literally always be used to oppress marginalized people

vampnest.bsky.social•73 days ago

it doesnt help that there's already a strong biased inconsistency in what is considered "inappropriate". was venting about it recently.

and also art that's considered "obscene" frequently have value in and of itself!! locking down certain topics and content as unspeakable only serves the status quo

w0lfertinger666.bsky.social•74 days ago

idk, I hope others out there know that "inappropriate for minors" can literally include queer people to these fucking conservatives.

they actually don't care about abusers because they work with them lol.

btady138.bsky.social•74 days ago

Or they are the abusers. Which, more often than not, is generally the case.

Personally i don't think the world is going to get any better until we purge all traces of conservative ideology

"what about nazis?" Asks the imaginary person next to me
The problem would be solved if you didn't put fucking nazis in your games (except indiana Jones, he is the only exception) also have you by any chance seen my phychosis medication?

driftintomadness.bsky.social•73 days ago

nazis should be publicly portrayed in media more so more people know where to punch

m4nixman1a.bsky.social•73 days ago

TRUE!!!!!

podontknow.bsky.social•73 days ago

They should be portrayed as three-dimensional characters, no less. The public thinks of Nazis like Werewolves or something fantastical nowadays. Folks don't see how real people could ever be them today (because they're right, real people aren't just evil cartoon stereotypes.)

driftintomadness.bsky.social•73 days ago

Damn that is so true though

m4nixman1a.bsky.social•73 days ago

Wait actually yeah!

dragonoftartarus.bsky.social•74 days ago

People not realising that "it's obscene!" could be used to justify banning literally anything the people in power want drives me mad.

Don't like a piece of art? Don't fucking look at it. You don't get to endanger the concept of art because you might see something that makes you uncomfortable.
