I'm growing really tired of this "sanitization" of society, and what views you are/aren't allowed to hold anymore.

- oliv__ 5y agoI agree that as a publisher who paid a hefty sum for the exclusive rights to the content, they 100% have the right to do this. I'm just saying this general trend of cancellation and suppressing views that don't fit squarely in the box of "whatever society accepts at the moment" (which by the way changes by the minute) is troubling.
- philistine 5y agoWe have always done this. Since the beginning of our species. We live under a society of consensus. We believe in stuff because our parents told us to believe, however silly it might be. There never was a point in history where someone could say everything they wanted without having the consequences of their speech.
- Sparyjerry 5y agoThe way TV always had a censor to filter out what was deemed bad, now for no reason at all the same is happening on tech. They assume everyone is a child and they have to be the parent. At the very least they could put an EXPLICIT filter on like they do with songs, because we should all assume once you are 18 you can do a half decent job of deciding what is bullshit for yourself.
