This is another reason I had forgotten about in favor of this project: information transgesses boundaries, and whether people like it or not, it will be modified, and it is wrong to attempt to subvert that capability. I still think it's wrong to cripple oneself by limiting ones exposure to things that may make one uncomfortable, but it should be a right to choose what we view.
- baddox 11y agoI don't really see much of a distinction between choosing which media you view (which everyone necessarily does) and choosing which parts of a particular work you view.
- npsimons 11y agoIt's about how media is perceived; if I try to have a conversation with you, but ignore you saying words I don't like, it changes the meaning of our conversation, and one could argue we haven't really had a conversation at all.
