If you’re a “free speech absolutist,” then you haven’t thought about these things: or worse, you have and you just don’t care.

curious, you were crying about free speech cause I want to ban erotic content

Sloth's not a free speech absolutist ;P

:O

oh I'm shocked

And as a Green M, neither are you! :)

right, so don't get your panties all in a knot and cry about free speech when I try and ban erotic content

I’ll only have a reason to object if your proposal is vague, confusing, applied in a sexist manner, or throttles content that otherwise states a valid political point of view. If you’ve thought through all possible scenarios, no need to worry

How is it vague? I think I made it pretty clear
Only confusing if you can't understand basic english
Applied in a sexist manner? How so?
Should content such as bomb instructions, child porn, etc., be allowed if it's used to state a valid political point of view?

Oh and also:

Just a warning about the guy who all of a sudden started posting here for some reason even though he hasn't really contributed much to the stream (he got kicked out of MSMG, of course.)

Thecreativekid is somewhat of an infamous person in MSMG. He's been banned from the stream multiple times and for good reason, and not just for the shit he posts here now (MSMG's actually cool with homophobia and I kinda don't care most of the time.)

Here are some of the reasons:

- Harassment
- Saying anime child porn is not real child porn because it's fictional
- other things I forgot but whatever, you can ask any other MSMG user, though.
- Overall just being a mfing asshole.

Some items on this list are debatable. Should fascist points of view be allowed? Should communist ones? It depends on the forum. In a freewheeling discussion about politics, sure. In a forum for kids under 12 about Peppa Pig, no.

Other items on this list are illegal per se (child porn) or can only be used to cause trouble (bomb instructions).

Others are just plain annoying and degrade the user experience (spam, bots). Even Elon Musk knows these things are a problem.

Free speech or nah? Depends on the context. Depends on the local laws. Depends on what kind of community you want to have.
