It's not a deep thought or anything but the only lesson you can take away from history is... Sometimes repression works, sometimes it doesn't. It's less inspiring than "ideas never die" and I wish it wasn't the case, but suppression can be effective.

We live in an era in which the common (1st world) person is connected to a device out of necessity, of which social media and the internet plays a large role in one’s life. By design people are thrown into sites without much moderation or regulation, which—whatever, with a constant stream of information specifically tailored to manipulate and influence with largely refined, proven strategies.It’s not a new concept, but waves of news/information are constantly melted down to base levels and thrust upon these devices, and by design people are led into separate sources of information/news/advertising/media and with increased presence throughout time.Without any oversight, blatant lies are propagated throughout society, and they are further pushed into a connected circle that connects to other niche related groups, while remaining hyper isolated from content that would drive them away. These bite sized lies and insane beliefs (antivax/flat earth/climate) show real world consequence and there’s a monetary benefit to all parties involved to keep this system going. Those with vested interests that understand these algorithms and want to game the system are well encouraged to do so as they further feed the social circle with LCD content that can be easily spread and engaged with.It’s no wonder that disingenuous (not read “ignorant” or “ side I disagree with” ) people like Ben Shapiro can just make up facts or anecdotes with no consequence or risk. He even guest starred in one of PewDiePie’s videos for the “meme” and not at all for any other reason. He’s just degrading himself in front of an impressionable audience because it’s funny, and totally not because of the direct/indirect pulls towards Conservative content on all your social medias.Take a look at Anti-Vax material, despite bringing back diseases previously eradicated, Anti-Vax material isn’t just “existing” across the internet, but it’s thriving.There’s a problem with how blatant misinformation is irresponsibly handled, and no amount of open debate will cure hyperisolated bubbles that are infesting our society and setting us back hundreds of years.I’m not saying “removing Ben Shapiro from the internet is great”, but at some point a solution needs to be made so as to prevent some extremely dangerous ideas proliferate among sizable portions of the population that can enact change, but are not necessarily easy to connect to.

That video, for those who care, is here:It had 2k views when hobbes posted it, now it's gone viral at half a mil. If you want more search terms to "test" this, ask Rufus.I think it's actually a little funny and absurd what happened here. YouTube used ML for its recs and perverts kept training it to fetch more videos of kids stretching or trying on swimsuits. I think the easiest solution is that there should be a family setting for accounts so that they don't get sucked into the neural net. That might be a compromise between doing nothing and arranging for a sortie on the YouTube server farm to Protect the Children.

Can you blame them when western game enthusiast sites create shit controversies out of stuff like Nintendo not turning Link into a female? Not to mention succeeding in getting Sony to censor ecchi animu games that wasn't effecting anyone.

Why was Dreams Visions banned?
Ignorance is not a defense. Five seconds of looking at his list of videos tells you everything you need to know. I posted screenshots earlier. Understanding the source of the media you're posting (and no, it doesn't matter if you weren't "the first person to post it") is a bare minimum expectation for this forum.//edit: and you STILL haven't removed it from your post, so...

I don't really know anything about this Vic dude, the accusations or animes or animes cons or whatever but I came across a thread elsewhere and saw people seriously talking about how everything he's ever worked on needs to be redubbed ASAP with a non-rapist, non-gator, LGBTQIA person of color.So I looked at how much he's done voice work for and
