And yet it got positive reception, and open discussion. Why are we taking a broad approach to restricting speech here again?
And don't get me wrong, fuck that pedo freak right off, but why extend that to proper discussions? You just make it harder for anyone else coming in to follow along with what was being talked about.
And how do we know that now? You've censored it, and it's down to your diminishingly trustworthy word.
Since when did we shift from free speech, even unlikable speech, to censoring that which is uncomfortable? I know I'm not the first to make this point, but come on, this is hard to defend as anything less than censorship because it makes you uncomfortable.
And I have no problem with it making you uncomfortable or angry or whatever. But this place was always meant to get away from that Reddit mentality of constant censorship on the emotional reactions of controlling mods. You were legitimately better than this. And I get that modding leaves anyone jaded, but it's such a shame that you don't want to even consider that maybe you're not doing the right thing by the rest of the sub.

Because it was of the same level. It was victim-blaming the rape of a minor. That isn't a proper discussion.
If it gets a positive reception, then fuck everyone who upvoted it.
