Since the day they were invented? Certainly by the mid 50s there were hundreds of different relgious sects all over the world with prohibitions of some kind.
Because different people can have differing opinions… or do you somehow believe literally 100% of the human population shares that opinion?
- skeledrew 2y agoThe viewing of particular visual content being restricted by some religion, etc is a different argument from visual content somehow designed not to be viewed - by anyone - being created. The former is a matter of opinion, the latter a pointless paradox.
- MichaelZuo 2y agoThe latter is also an opinion, because the people who decide to create videos are also fallible human beings… Unless you believe it’s impossible for someone to have contradictory or incoherent intentions?
- skeledrew 2y agoNothing about opinion or fallibility here. The latter is theoretically possible, but practically senseless. In a very literal way. There is 0 purpose to have something visual that is not intended to be consumed visually. What is a picture that is never seen? This is actually very similar to the philosophical question of whether or not a tree falling in a forest with nothing to hear it makes a sound, but this isn't philosophy we're dealing with.
