A man said to the universe:
“Sir, I exist!”
“However,” replied the universe,
“The fact has not created in me
A sense of obligation.”

I'm only now learning more about the Horses situation and, while it is in a lot of ways dissimilar to the earlier game censorship situation, it is particularly telling how a lot of censorship overall is based on people with curatorial power being too squeamish about non-titillating content.

I've been mulling this over, and more and more I feel like the conflict at the center of many divides is really between the aesthetic and the material.
It's why people view "the left" as a movement that attacks itself: prioritizing aesthetics is largely incompatible with prioritizing the material.

IMO the main problem with NIMBYism is simply that "this conflicts with my sense of aesthetics" just isn't ever a valid argument when weighed against the material needs of human beings, regardless of how closely those aesthetics hew to a societal good.

This is perhaps the most reasonably-presented and accessible version of my thoughts over the last few years I've seen anyone else make. Drew very passionately says many of the same things I've been thinking to myself & occasionally ranting at people about. Check it.

the thing about extreme content in video games is that the most appalling taboo porn game on the internet is still more artstically valid and has more reason to exist than Roblox

I'm having lots of really intelligent thoughts while reading your discourse, I'm just too tired to reply and deal with having an argument on the internet. If I did reply, though, I'd sound super smart, trust me.
