That's a slippery-slope argument, and it's ridiculous in this case. Reddit isn't being pressured to ban any and all offensive content; they're being pressured specifically about sexually-suggestive photographs of underage girls, created without consent.
Haven't they already decided not to allow the pictures of underage girls? I could be wrong, but I thought that had happened a while ago with the closing of /r/jailbait or some similar subreddit.

They close particular subreddits when they become widely featured, such as /r/jailbait on CNN or /r/creepshots on Gawker. They do not ban the users who posted such content, and do not take measures to prevent them from re-creating the same subreddit under a different name.
- danielweber 14y agoAs a point of order: the admins did not kill creepshots. People who didn't like it got the personal info of a mod and blackmailed him into shutting it down. Several clones of creepshots popped up and most of them got shut down pretty quick, so it looks like reddit has some kind of new rule but they haven't told the community what it is. I'm pretty sure there were jailbait-clones set up that got shut down, too.
