Wait it's all furries?

@Meanlucario

So it's a 'Don't ask questions. Just consume'? XD Sorry Jarkes

@Meanlucario
Pfft

@Frosku
targeted harassment of other users (i.e. me posting my OC calling your OC retarded)
Might need a clause for when it's in jest, but other than that i can concur with this.

Unfortunately we will not get this.

So I have this thing that happens at night.

A dream, a waking nightmare, maybe some kind of hallucinatory sleep paralysis, whatever.

But I'm in this kind of screen, looking directly at it, it's a video game, i can tell that much. There's items to buy, stats to mind, all that good stuff that i know internally.

But, the game itself is broken. I can't see half the graphics, what i can see is distorted, and i can't 'click out of the menu'.

And I'm just stuck there, unable to progress, selecting things blindly, and I'm smothered by a sense of great frustration.

When i woke up from this morning, i had a brief, out-of-focus moment where i moved and flexed my hands and couldn't register them as my own despite looking directly at them in the low light of my room.

This isn't a frequent happening, but it does partially ruin the chances of a good night's sleep.

@Sparx
Remember when David Cage said that Become Human wasn't about racism? That's kind of standard in the industry, as Jim pointed out many times.

@Sparx
Jim seems to be more interested in talking about the industry that people being silly, though he doesn't pull punches when it comes to people defending bad practices.

Also, part of the video is on how some very scummy info on Ubisoft has been revealed, but people are ignoring it in favor of a battleroyal prototype they have that was leaked.

In an ideal scenario I would probably only ban calls for violence, targeted harassment of other users (i.e. me posting my OC calling your OC retarded) and illegal content, and I'd tailor any rules changes towards enforcing tagging more, and some kind of affirmative consent for the everything filter (showing a diff between current filter and filter you're switching to, for example). Generally speaking, I don't think that art needs censorship or parameters of acceptability. Art and comedy are not designed to be a hugbox. Some of the most discomfort our views and norms will face will come from art and comedy, and to deliberately shut that off renders one of the most powerful forms of media harmless.

@Ereiam
go tell that to the morons partying and organizing riots, protests and all that.
but it's gonna be white people's fault this time.

@Ereiam
And nothing of value was lost.

@Meanlucario
Eh he does tend to complain and make videos about inane things like gamers ^tm being upset about something silly.

Though people watch him just to hear him complain and brings him cash so * shrug *

as well as companies and people trying to claim that games aren't political unless it benefits them.

So everyone? There's only ever discussions about that because it's due to people's personal biases on what they think is ok or not.

Or whether something validates their worldview or dunks on their 'enemies'.

A 30-year-old who attended a "Covid party" (the new idiotic concept where a group of people gather around an infected person to see if the virus is real) died from it in San Antonio this week. His last words: "I think I made a mistake. I thought this was a hoax, but it's not."

@Frosku
I dont want anything banned, i just want consistency for the things they do ban.
Calling someone a bastard is significantly worse than calling them a liar, especially when coupled with the context that surrounds ACAB as a movement.

@Princess Luna
I'd argue the point of it being 'minor' but that's irrelevant, you agree it counts as namecalling at the very least.

- Do not post things of almost no substance or artistic value likely to incite anger.
- Do not seriously advocate for committing significant violence.
- Do not insult others with name-calling or similarly slanderous/uncivil phrasing.
- Do not discriminate, or promote discrimination on individual characteristics, such as race, sex, or culture. Context matters; a mouthpiece to promote racism for instance isn't okay, while the topic itself can be shown in artwork.

If an artist portrayed the idea of ACAB using the equestrian setting, it'd be consistent with the various other images deemed okay to post for other topics like racism.
Except most of them are just pony + sign on a plain background, which would not fly with similar messages.

@Background Pony #3D95
Please do speak for yourself, the fandom i want has unrestrained cute horses and people not trying to mouthpiece them.

I'm willing to settle for allowing the mouthpieces, but then people need to stop complaining about a problem that doesn't exist.

@Dsiak
Sounds painful.

@Sparx
People complaining him being too negative, as well as companies and people trying to claim that games aren't political unless it benefits them. That's my guess at least.

@Armagedonus
As I've repeatedly said, my preferred solution would actually be to have less censorship than we have now, and tell people to use the filters. In the spirit of constructive conversation though, I'm willing to be helpful and attempt to help steer a less nebulous and more objective policy that we can rely on to be applied impartially and objectively.

@Princess Luna
Considering that you are here can I ask you a question?
Could you consider removal of filter "everything"?
That way users will be FORCED to unfilter things manually and THAT will move responisibility from "staff" towards "user" when it comes to seeing triggering stuff.
You could even implement automatic PM that is send when new user joins Derpibooru. In said message there could be included information on how filter works and that users are resposible for what they are seeing.
Taht could eliminate all "I didn't know that 'everyting' means 'nazi' stuff" idiots.

@TheHappySpaceman
Probably not, but things might never be the same going forward.

@WyrmSpawN
Now one gets solar banned.

@Venport
Except when it’s shouting fire in a movie theater, or not making death threats, or kiddie porn…or hate speech. Some things need to be shut down. I think nazis and racists take advantage of free speech absolutists because The idea of the right to free speech allows them and others to do and say horrible things, accumulate power, and set up bases in fandoms and communities right up until they take over with their own ideas. The reality of the situation requires greater critical thinking than a blanket statement. It’s up to us to build the fandom we want.

@Zintenka
Good luck getting this read by him.

@Sparx
The people who would say that title unironically, I'm guessing.

@Background Pony #15B5
yeah sounds logical. my body/my property = my decisions.

Except a late abortion non medically justified is killing someone innocent.

@Violet Rose in The Rain
don't be racist, judging the dog based on his/her race is wrong.

@Latecomer
I kind of agree, one is about defending yourself from an intruder, the other one is causing the death of an innocent living being.

if anyone, even a cop comes on my home and shoot my dog, I shoot back without remorse.

Don't know when it happened, but it looks like my shadowban's been lifted.
