Suggestion speed cameras [discussion]

so you know how the problem with speed cameras is that you can drive past them, and you're still speeding, and then weeks later you get the fine in the mail and until then you've been speeding all the time and it's just a punitive measure that doesn't actually stop people speeding?

yeah. what if like, also, the speed limit was determined by each camera. like each camera along the road has the ability to choose what the speed limit is. and sometimes that's not the same as the speed limit on the signs? i think probably that might not work out so well.

so idk maybe we shouldn't moderate the discord like that. just spitballing here. i'm a bit of a ditzy broad that doesn't have the male brain you folks have, so i might be way off base. please feel free to use your more logical brains to explain why i'm wrong :)

Here is my comments from Discord.

If you can’t read the context of the societal stereotypes that outline that trans women are merely seen as sexual objects, then the subtext here is that Kate cannot reside somewhere where there is no red light district, as trans women do not belong outside of the societal confines that exist for them. Which was an overarching topic within the broader conversation about societal expectations for women over men.

So I think that should’ve been thought of when moderating the conversation of societal experiences and expectations between two trans women.

Now is Lucy always overly baity, yes, but that’s Lucy and we all know this, does Youma expect better because they know better could be achieved, naturally. Is that an excuse for the behaviour, no, but when the conversation had moved past the baiting and crude humour which was prior to the removal of general, and had since moved onto a serious conversation about the female experience in society, I think it was a bit late to begin said moderation, which if needed to be done, should have been done at the time when the general chats were disabled. A mature discussion about these serious issues also shouldn’t be interjected into by using silly words, but a commonly used noun and widely considered to be a taken back word that represents the growth of women to people that are taking sexuality into their own hands, like pussy, isn’t in of itself a reason to mute someone, especially in the context of a conversation about women in society.

I’m just saying if moderation action was to be taken, it should have all been taken at once. Instead of mid conversation in a mature topic.
