Volcel jokes aside, that's unfortunate.

Overall, I do think China is on the right track. but they def. have their issues with trying to legislate morality a little too much.

I don't think Gianna Michaels/hentai is going to inspire the populace to take up arms in a capitalist revolution.

    Sure, that stuff getting removed is good, but this Scorched Earth approach is throwing the baby out with the bathwater.

    This seems like a repeat of your post from months ago, where you were instructed how involuntary pornographic content should not have human sacrifices who have to filter it out for your own 3 minute amusement.

    Perhaps you should consider that China is hostile to pornography because of the subsequent sexual exploitation of minors and vulnerable people the industry encourages and cultivates. It is paternalistic social control/engineering, and its not like pornography is eliminated, but it would seem the point is to socially and economically shun the industry.

      Bitch, I wasn't "instructed" on anything. lol I still hold the exact same beliefs I did 9 months ago.

      I'm not engaging further cuz for all I know you're an alt of the guy who harassed me in my dms for days after that thread and eventually got banned for it. The fact you readily recall a specific obscure thread from almost a year ago is :amogus: as hell to me.

        Well, this is my first time interacting with you. You're a power user on this site, and I associate your username with that particular struggle session.

        Suffice it to say, I don't have those antisocial impulses, and I'm sorry that happened to you. There's nothing to engage here though, so fair enough on wanting to disengage.

        This new China struggle sesh seems like a rehash of that old thread is all. :shrug-outta-hecks:

          I've never really thought of myself as a power user here, so I'm not sure whether to take that as a compliment or an insult lol.

          While there are similarities in the sense that both situations involve the general idea of a "porn ban", I think they're each unique enough to warrant commenting on separately (A single, albeit large, porn site limiting what porn can be uploaded to it vs. An entire country's government outright banning all types of porn). Not to mention, as previously said, that other thread is from over 9 months ago, so it's not like that one is fresh off the presses anyway.
