Do you really see the removal of advertising from public space as this much of a threat to your way of life? Your sarcastic remark about ending consumerism and society sounds quite hateful towards people who don't want to see advertising, whereas (speaking from myself at least) I feel no hate at all towards people who don't mind ads. My preference for not viewing ads comes purely from my own personal annoyance that I experience whenever I see them, it does not come from any kind of hate or dislike towards people like you who don't mind them, and I don't really want to change anyone's lifestyle.
- JAlexoid 3y agoIf you don't want to see X, you just have to no look. Being offended by X, doesn't mean that you have an inherent right to ban X. X throughout the times were/are ads, black people, campaign billboards, crossdressing and Pride parades. Every time someone says "it should be banned, because I don't want to see it in public" is eerily reminiscent of the arguments of homophobes that I hear all the time. "I don't want to see" or "it offends me" must never be a reason for banning something. It's not sufficient.

- JAlexoid 3y agoYou're right. Because no one can ever have an opinion that is opposite to you and your claims never require evidence to back them up. Calling someone a troll, because you just throw out absurd claims expecting everyone to take your word for it - is quite arrogant.
