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.
I said this way back on reddit when alternative sites are being discussed:
Loli is the canary in the coal mine.
It's perfectly legal content.
When it gets banned specifically it means that the site admins have begun ramping up ideological censorship and it will only grow and take over more concepts.
Whatever you may think about about loli doesn't matter. What matters are the arguments used to nix it, and those arguments in favor universally give site admins grounds to expand censorship beyond simple pornographic or lewd content, unless ALL pornography is banned as a base.
What you need to take away from this is that censorship on minds will snowball from here. It already was not a place for free discussions. Now that will get worse.
legality =/= morality
if i had a site i'd ban loli on principle and i'd happily spread that ideology with the argument that it's fucked up and should be banned
don't be a pedo
Then you've established that you're willing to censor information for ideological reasons and will soon come to ban speech.
You either ban all porn, or you allow drawn images like loli, gore, and bestiality.
Has nothing to do with pedophilia or liking the images themselves. It's a litmus test for ideological censorship. If you ban loli on ideological grounds saying that you don't like it, you and others involved in the site will expand that reasoning to other topics. It's a very slippery slope.
Sure, let's do it.
