JimboUK Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 "imaginary freedom" No, it's an actual freedom, I saw that mod, I chose not to install it because it's not my thing, but that choice was mine, not yours, you don't get to make choices for me.

DoctaSax Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 While I am perhaps of the more liberal or freedom of choice type, there have been laws past recently in the UK that do make some of the 'roleplay' content of some interest at least. It only applies to stuff 'created in the UK' so unsure about hosting or whether it even applies if it doesn't feature real people... But bad press, even if not totally accurate, can still cause big problems - as I'm sure many are aware.Surely some laws are just meant to be made fun of? Monty Python singing "Sit On My Face" couldn't happen nowadays, because it's considered a health and safety issue, promoting 'life-threatening' behavior.We've all just been doing it wrong. :sad: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sunshinenbrick Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 -snip Sigh... What a can of worms!

I myself think some of those things are ridiculous. Female ejaculation? How can you just ban involuntary acts of nature?? But yes, we are the land of the Python and a prime minister who dabbles in beastiality, so we are a sometimes complex nation I posted it merely as a reference. There was a topic somewhere else about ISPs throttling Nexus connections because an image or something was 'flagged'. I have no idea if it was even sexual in nature, but it doesn't hurt to be vigilant about the law and to try limit the chances of getting on the wrong side of it.

WursWaldo Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 (edited) WurSWaldo, constantly and derisively pinning members here with labels such as social activist, doesn't exactly exclude you from being an activist yourself because you are certainly coming across as one--a political activist who wants to make assumptions about others motivations and political affiliations based on an open discussion here on Nexus that YOU don't agree with. The concern with the mod in question is valid. The Mango follower is depicted as someone who has been sexually exploited, yet is dressed up and presented in the pictures as a playboy bunny. Rape in entertainment media is touchy business, and even the motion picture and video game industry acknowledges that. However, a woman who is a victim of imprisonment and gang raping and then portrayed as a sex kitten is extremely offensive to most women (and thankfully to most men as well). The only ones that do that are in the porn industry where many videos are not suitable or in many cases not legal either. As for placing kids faces on voluptuous and sexually provocative female bodies, well, that's pushing it to the limits too. I'm not a prude, nor do I have a social agenda. I'm not religious, nor am I a liberal. I'm not a feminist either. So you may want to check your accusatory tone and guesswork at the door.Yet I was right for calling it what it is and now the unavoidable truth is out. The OP was motivated by activism to censor content he/she doesn't like. He/she admitted it. Now you're attempting the same thing, even though the OP hit a brick wall when confronted with facts, the rules and the staff's final word. There is nothing more to discuss. And even if there were, debating with fanatics is a waste of time. I'm glad this liberal sideshow has been exposed for what it is, or was. edited for type-o's Edited February 29, 2016 by WursWaldo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lisnpuppy Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 Wait a min, I'm a liberal and I've been arguing the other side...I'm confused now.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunshinenbrick Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 Hmmm... the starting of this topic still has merit, in my opinion. Because even if the notion is rebuked, there should still be the opportunity to discuss it. If not, then it is essentially stopping people from sharing distaste for abusive, threatening and possibly even illegal activities. I think I also may need to re-check the definition of 'liberal', it seems... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lisnpuppy Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 Yeah I just was trying to keep the name calling out of it and try to make some better tags and such so maybe people could have a less offensive/better experience here. But hey...when I can't figure out what to call myself anymore it's time to go home. Good night everybody! !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WursWaldo Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 (edited) Wait a min, I'm a liberal and I've been arguing the other side...I'm confused now....30 years ago it was conservative Baptist preachers dictating morality. Today it is liberal 3rd wave feminists. It was dickery then just like it's dickery now. edited for type-o Edited February 29, 2016 by WursWaldo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunshinenbrick Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 Maybe it is important to differentiate the difference, or rather the connotations, between "Liberals" and arbitrarily being "liberal" about something. Also there seems to be discrepancy in languages as to the exact implication of the word - reference Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
