Why can't I be excited? Why is that such a crime?

Circumcision is rooted in the effort to reduce male masturbation and it's still practiced widely. Of course you can't enjoy some onion nips. Could lead to dancing.

Crime - no, but every social media platform that doesn't actively fight porn eventually turns into a porn site. OnlyFans is an example of a service which embraced adult content, but most others would rather not go this route.

  Why should we separate people from what they want?

    Because most users don't want this. Those who do though are highly motivated and are able to overwhelm any service with spam.

      There's a thing called user preferences. Ask a few questions when creating an account, are you ok seeing naked human body? Are you ok seeing death, blood and traumas? Are you ok seing people engaged in reproductive activities? Are you ok seeing violence? Then blur the images or text which happen to be categorised as nude, gore or porn. Require action to unblur them. Nobody is offended, nothing is censored. I can understand some people may want to avoid nipples, like some people may find images of guns or knives disturbing. But things like that are a personal preference. In this day and age information delivery is already personalized. There is no excuse to censor content or ads based on what "most users don't want".

I don’t think it’s a crime to find a woman’s body sexually arousing. I just think we to chill the fuck out if we see a boob. It’s titillating... so what? Is that such a bad thing? A great example was when I watched a YouTube video on Robocop a while ago. Robocop is a great movie, but it’s insanely violent. Yet YouTube was fine with all the violence and gore. But show a nipple? Bam... instant demonetisation.

  As far as I've seen, soviet censorship took the opposite tack from US censorship, roughly: dem titties, xorosho, but on-screen violence? straight to GuLag, citizen! Come to think of it, the USSR did dissolve nearly peacefully. Maybe those censors knew what they were doing? Ere wa wel, desh terash kowltim, deradzhang inyalowda tili pensa wit kuwang. (In a gravity well, there's always acceleration, which is why Inners don't think straight.)
