After an incident where anti-loli false flaggots got an account wrongfully banned for cp, ottman decided to ban loli by making false arguments similar to what 8chan owner jim watkins and gab owner andrew torba made.
Minds userbase is having none of it, and are actively calling ottman out for lying while demanding this decision be reversed.
new edit: ottman is having a meltdown, calling people bots and deleting posts.
edit: the mods need to consider banning the anti-loli spergs on this site for pointless infighting.
If you're a leftist, and you want to utterly derail and destroy any attempt to circumvent your total control of all social media, all you have to do is quietly roll the "lolicon" grenade into any upstart conservative effort to create an alternative platform. The pedo apologists and rules lawyers will happily choose cartoon child porn over meaningfully promoting freedom of speech.
Yet those same leftists are probably fucking kids and ok with real CP.
Plenty of people on our side seem to be okay with looking at kids getting fucked, too. I wouldn't be so quick to think we're better.
"kids" tell me more about how cartoon , ink on paper is a kid.
Exactly this. If you start a video hosting platform and say "no porn/hentai: there's already hundreds of sites for that" no one says a thing. But when Gab and now Minds does it for some reason it's a huge fucking deal.
Bitchute bans porn entirely: does anyone care? I've never heard anyone criticize them for it.
A full porn ban is a good and defensible position.
A pick-and-choose system of saying this, that, and the other are ideologically unacceptable creates a foundation for the expansion of censorship. There will always be those who take offense to some kind of content and banning content purely on the grounds of "it's disgusting" will give them greater power to act.
Look at Australia and the UK. They've gradually expanded their arbitrary banning of pornographic content to the point of using it to create full nation level censorship legislation for expanded content.
You are tricked into thinking you're doing good but in reality you're unwittingly doing your enemy's work for them.
Maybe platforms claiming to be free speech should be forthright about why they're banning certain forms of free speech instead of attempting to be moral fags or disingenuous[1] about U.S. laws, assuming liability is the impetus.
1 - This includes not linking to laws that have provisions that may be contrary to illegality, or were struck down in applicability.
Oh, and this argument is also a larp to begin with because I see moral fags in this thread push this liability argument while simultaneously decrying it for ethical reasons in other comments, and labelling everyone that can be even bothered to put up any argument about why censorship might be a bad thing a pedo.
Plenty of condescending little fucks 'lurking' about.
We defend loli content alongside all drawn content because to do otherwise means that we've established a baseline for ideological censorship of speech.
It's you guys who are so set in with emotional baggage that you don't realize you're being baited into laying the foundation for ideological suppression of other content and speech.
Translation: we have a pedo infestation.
cool keep misusing and downplaying the word pedo
