SunAndSpring posted:I have no idea how these guys think that American translators and editors getting rid of content that sexualizes minors to avoid scandal and/or a higher ESRB rating is equivalent to fascist-style censorship. Well if you're very reductionist--and after all it's easy to be very reductionist--then it's censorship, and censorship is supposed to be Bad, so therefore this is bad. It's not hard to see it from either perspective. Is it?

https://www.washingtonpost.com/news...m=.f672bba6088cquote:In the class recorded for “Do Not Resist,” Grossman at one point tells his students that the sex they have after they kill another human being will be the best sex of their lives. The room chuckles. But he’s clearly serious. “Both partners are very invested in some very intense sex,” he says. “There’s not a whole lot of perks that come with this job. You find one, relax and enjoy it.”

I had to stop watching police procedurals when I realized all of them are about uncritically celebrating the intersection of eroticism and violence The Taint has the protagonist shooting dicks off with a .44 magnum. So it's got that on other movies.

Like I don't think anybody really noticed but I posted an article in the last thread about an rear end in a top hat who dressed up in a gorilla suit and passed out bananas tied with nooses to members of a Black Lives Matter rally and got arrested for it. Reddit's hot take? "Doesn't he have first amendment rights?  "edit: In case anyone's interested in the article. lozzle fucked around with this message at 18:26 on Oct 1, 2016 |

It's not hard to see it from either perspective. It absolutely is censorship, but all censorship isn't bad. "Censorship", like "tolerance" or "discrimination" have taken on these sorts of intrinsic good and bad qualities where people seem to have collectively forgotten that it's not the act, but the reason for the act that is good or bad. This is why we see people twisting themselves into pretzels trying to justify being intolerant of bigots as not "really" intolerance or this as not "really" censorship. There are things that deserve censoring (at least the voluntary kind) there are things that deserve discriminating against, there are things that should not be tolerated.

Yeah, people focus a lot on performance instead of outcomes and that's how you get this attitude of "censorship therefore bad!" that leads to people pitching a fit about something that's not super consequential for them (like toning down VG sexuality).

Antti posted:The entire Draper piece is worth a read. Considering his own campaign managers can only keep him 'restrained' for like a month at a time at best I don't know why anyone would assume the GOP would be able to control him. That's why the possibility of his winning is dangerous: He's an erratic and volatile man who likes denigrating and hurting others and displays of strength, whose qualification for 'are you any good' is 'how nice of things do you say about me'.

There was a time when we imagined the elites would be able to muzzle, or at least distract, and control Trump. Basically controlling everything in quiet while Bozo the Clown distracted everyone from the group's plans by collectively humiliating the nation. We were obviously wrong in hindsight. Very wrong. But, hey, hindsight is 20/20

Inferior Third Season posted:Everyone's opinions are always equally valid, guys. So, shut up. You guys are being really unfair to this article, or just not reading the whole thing, or... I don't know what, exactly. Taibbi is absolutely right that the current state of the media exists because it's what people want. quote:So media consumers are reduced to blaming the closeness of the race on a species they've practically made extinct with their choices over the years: investigative reporters. Like, there's a whole thread in this forum right now discussing this exact issue. Journalism is dying because you can't fund a polished and flashy 24/7 news network on investigative journalism. You can't even fund a lovely online news magazine with it. The problem isn't that journalists aren't doing their jobs, it's that the job they're being paid to do isn't real journalism.

In fact, the entire article is a condemnation of it. What he's (correctly) arguing against is the blame that's placed on journalists. They are doing their jobs. Their job is to create content that makes money for the company that employs them. If you don't like that, then find a way to get people to actually pay for investigative journalism.
