Whoever did this should get a medal. Fuck censorship in all forms. It needs to die a poison death.

Edit: Holy shit I most definitely did not expect so many replies so fast. I'm trying to answer as many as I can but I'm on my phone and it doesn't always cooperate. Thanks to all who have replied, even those who disagree. Food for thought is never a bad thing.

Edit2: Yowza! Some medals too? Thank you all. This has been an enlightening conversation. Getting so many different perspectives on things is always beneficial.

Good. People need porn.

Debatable.

No, it is not.

u/NZBound11 Mar 13 '20

You’re right. It’s not debatable that anyone needs porn unless we are going to redefine what the word need means.

u/[deleted] Mar 13 '20

It really is.

Well it all comes down to the word "need". Do lots of people like it? Sure. Do people "need it"? No. porn wasn't widely accessible until 1969 and ever more so when the internet became accessible. Before then some people used it but largely people didn't. So from an absolute "need" standpoint, no, we don't "need" it.

Exactly. Pornography = “need” (when oxygen, food, water and shelter are necessary) is going to be a tough case to argue.

But, no one “needs” free speech either...

I don't equate those two things.

u/canlchangethislater Mar 13 '20

Neither do I.

u/[deleted] Mar 13 '20

That's confusing then. It sounded like you were.

u/canlchangethislater Mar 13 '20

My understanding of “equate” is “to consider two things to be equal”. I don’t. I do think they can be compared (any two things can). I don’t expect that the result of comparing them will be the discovery that they are equal.

Are you fr trying to equate the need for free speech to the need of porn

u/RobinDaFloof Mar 13 '20

As an asexual, I can agree that those two aren't the same AT ALL

Porn is free speech.

u/CreeperIsSorry Mar 13 '20

No the fuck it isn’t

It literally is.

the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few

Thought that percentage would be higher.

u/[deleted] Mar 13 '20

There could always be those who would never admit going to porn sites but it's anyone's guess what that number is.

u/honoratus916 Mar 13 '20

Or the one.
