In Brandenburg v. Ohio (1969), the Court overturned the conviction of Clarence Brandenburg, a member of the Ku Klux Klan who had made inflammatory statements, by insisting that it would only punish advocacy that "is directed to inciting or producing imminent lawless action and is likely to incite or produce such action."
The Bradenburg “test” is still the principle used today to legally judge advocacy of violence. Imminent and produce being the key words here.
Per the rules which have been horrendously written. Rule 2: Do not engage in speech that promotes, advocates, glorifies, or endorses violence.
As there is no context provided for what constitutes “violence” I’m going to start reporting every comment since words can fall under violence. As people here regularly play games, any mention of any game that contains violence, real or imaginary, must be removed as the display of violence is promoting of it. Any media that has glorified or promoted violence will also not be permitted as to reference to them would also promote violence.
I would highly encourage DoM or AoV to rewrite rule 2 and 16. As it would only take a few people tired of the subjective subjugation to start spamming reports.
Once again, these laws are applied with a distinction in mind between discussing violence that occurs in media and in actively promoting violence in the real world. The way the rule is applied here is no different.
Except it is. The laws state promoting violence must meet two standards, imminence and production. That is no where near how it is applied here.
I'd offer you some oil to keep your gaslight burning, but I'm concerned you might report me for Rule 3, given that you clearly don't understand the distinction between fiction and nonfiction or between literal and figurative. Either that, or you're being deliberately obtuse.
I am applying the rules based off of what they define. There is no differentiation between fictional, literal, figurative, or historical under the verbiage of rule 2. This makes glorification of historical, fictional, literal, and figurative violence all fall under the same term. You are being obtuse by having a definition that is not stated in rule 2.
