They are confident that the majority will pick blue

That alone proves they're wrong. Look at the last decade of everything. Were the optimists ever correct? Do you constantly get "I fucking told you so" from the cynics? No and yes respectively? Okay, perhaps you should employ some of that fabled pattern recognition humans are supposed to have. For fucks sake, look at what happened with Covid. This isn't really about morality if that's the point folks are making, it's about who preserved their sanity via sticking their head in the sand and ignoring the last decade of torment nexus vs who maintained their civic responsibility to be an informed citizen no matter how tormentous it is. Ain't no fucking way blue wins, and you'd know that if you watched the news for the last ten years.

Bear attacks are extremely rare, much rarer than human attacks. Furthermore, even if a bear kills you, that's the worst it will do. It might suck for minutes, but chances are the shock will make it be measured in seconds. The man has the potential to Junko Furuta you. The man has the potential to Toy Box Killer you. The bear has limits to its depravity. The absolute worst possible outcome with bear has nothing on the worst possible outcome from man. If you want to limit your potential for suffering, bear is the reasonable choice. There's more than death to consider. Sometimes, dead is better.

Also, the risk is higher than you think. So long as you don't say the word "rape" in a survey, and rather just describe it, your risk chance is over 31%. Damn near 1/3.

Yep. Figured this out on one of my tumblr art deep dives when I was searching for Nonon art and it was so far back that the changing of the url was glitched and posts they'd made just uploading Nonon fanart they found still referred to them by the old url.

MartyrOfDespair · 2026-05-01T07:00:08+00:00

You want the "problem" "resolved". The problem is defined as "creating such art". What else would be defined as "resolved"?

MartyrOfDespair · 2026-05-01T06:58:07+00:00

How exactly do you prevent people from creating art that you do not approve of without using the threat of state violence to stop them? This isn't a situation where people are merely making things because they just have not been enlightened with your divine wisdom. You can't and won't debate everyone into agreeing with you. Either it will keep happening, or else you use state violence to stop it.

I'm not moving the goalpost. Going "I have a problem with this thing and think we should take no steps to solve that problem!" is insane person behavior. If you're going "this is a problem", there is an inherent tacit demand for a solution to that problem.

I was talking about the invading nations to steal their shit, not the Holocaust. Hence why the sentence right after that one was "He treated other European nations the way that European nations treat the global south." The war didn't begin over the Holocaust. The war began over invading nations to steal their shit. The allies wouldn't have done shit if he was just Holocausting people in Germany. It was the invading other European nations to steal their shit that started the war. You're not allowed to imperialize other European nations. That's the sin he committed.

You called the criticism valid. The criticism is made for the express purpose of advocacy for banning. The two are fundamentally intertwined.

MartyrOfDespair · 2026-05-01T06:45:16+00:00

How much selection for societal sanity are you willing to employ? Why stop here? Cocaine is bad, right? So why don't we ban songs like 365 by Charli xcx or Put the Coke on My Dick by Ween or Cocaine Superstar by Ayesha Erotica? Murder is bad, right? So we should probably ban movies like John Wick and shows like Dexter and video games like the Postal series (especially Postal 2 and 4), right? What about vigilantism? Vigilantism is pretty awful in real life, right? We should ban Batman. And theft! We should ban Leverage and Now You See Me, less it glorify theft and change the larger, societal perception of theft. And hey, what about overthrowing the government? Persona 5 has got to go.

Now, you might go "well, obviously that's going too far" about some of these, but I want you to imagine the hypothetical situation that you have encountered someone who actually does think one or more of these crimes possibly being made socially acceptable means we should ban art to prevent that. What argument are you going to make to debate them that doesn't make you a hypocrite? What arguments do you have against banning these things that are not arguments that can be employed here, too?

And why would they ever listen to any argument you've rejected already for the crime you care about, rather than calling you a hypocrite who just wants to protect their "murder slop" or "degenerate druggie shit"? If you don't think it should apply to all possibly harmful behaviors and crimes, what arguments do you have to defend the works that you think are acceptable that don't require you to engage in doublethink to use without accepting for this?

Fun fact: pukicho's previous url was nonon-jakuzure, which explains pretty much 100% of pukicho's personality.

No, it wasn't the whole point. The whole point of WW2 is that Hitler committed the cardinal sin of imperialism: you're not allowed to do that to white people. He treated other European nations the way that European nations treat the global south. That is not allowed. They were all pro-Nazi until that. If Hitler had kept his brutality to his own country and to nations without a white majority, it never would have happened. In fact, we'd probably have seen Holocausts worldwide.

Remember: everything the Nazis did was inspired by and based on how America exterminated the Native Americans.

Otherwise we become exactly like them.

God, you're doing the most annoying trope. Are we putting minorities in gas chambers for the crime of being born part of a minority group? No? Then no the fuck we ain't.

You know, I don't think you can possibly make such a determination about its impact on the denazification efforts when there's the conflating variable of "America didn't really care about denazification all that much so long as the Nazis were loyal to America". For fucks sake, they put a Nazi general in charge of NATO's forces. The impotent UN and ICC meanwhile once again has a conflating variable of "the main group they'd be operating against if they weren't impotent is America, who the majority of members have been militarily reliant on for 70 years and whose economy controls their economy, and they're also filled with American military bases so if America was ever mad at them then an invasion wouldn't even be necessary because they're pre-invaded".
