Interesting how American morality works even in corporate circles.

Post your own body without clothes on an American website and the ban hammer is immediate. Post repeated racial slurs across multiple posts....and the response is a big fat nothing.

What sites do you mean? SW has thousands of nudes and I have yet to read one racial slur.
@AnneHoney SW for one. You see mild nudity being taken down repeatedly but users like Sunsporter use racist slurs even in the title of their posts repeatedly and as near as I can tell there has never been any response from the Mods on this. He is also not the only one. In fact he has one such post up in the politics section right now.

@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow I must not read those kind
of posters. That would disturb me, Amy hate is not right or smart.

As for nudes I can assure you there are 1000’s if not 10,000s of nudes posted and not removed. Only ones that are gross or show sex acts have they forced to be removed.
@AnneHoney He is one of the people here that makes no bones about hating certain kinds of people.


And I am sure with a site of any size there is still some that are up. But I know at least one person on my friends list who posts very tame pictures of themselves that have had all of their pictures taken down repeatedly. So it is definitely not just "gross" or sex acts.

But it does fit with a larger cultural bias. A friend of mine from Croatia pointed out that he doesn't understand how so much violence and gore is totally acceptable on mainstream TV but as soon as you see a pair of breasts everyone loses their minds.

@WolfGirlwh0r3 no you just look like a moron. I think the idiots revealing that they hate is a good thing in a way.

@AnneHoney Lol i have no hate in my heart for any group of people i think all humans are vile disgusting creatures so i have 0 craps what you social sheep think

@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow I think it’s way overstated. They never taking down boob pictures here. They are overly strict on penis. I got warned on that and just stopped posting guys. The rule is genitals can not be the focus of the picture. But no restrictions on boobs at all. Only other thing I have been reprimanded for is forgetting to label a picture as nudity. But boobs? I have posted a thousand.
@AnneHoney I see it all the time. It is definitely not overstated. My guess is the only reason you haven't had yours taken down is because you haven't annoyed someone enough to report you. But it happens all the time.


Meanwhile you have racists using slurs and even nazi slogans that go unchecked for years at this point.

@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow they may have auto removal based on a certain number of complaints. I have had maybe a dozen pictures removed and my ac.count suspended 4 or 5 tImes over the last Five plus years. Most were either an erection or the vagina was too predominant and one the girl was holding the guys penis casually. But none for just boobs.
@AnneHoney The point is I find it silly that any of this is considered offensive. Whereas spreading hate that results in violence and sometimes deaths is totally kosher.

@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow speech is free that means no one is in charge of deciding what is hate speech. I clearly am open about nudity but certain companies will not support sites that allow porn. So they draw the line or lose their server or credit cards refuse to service them.
@AnneHoney Free speech has nothing to do with it. Your own post proves that. It is about money and catering to advertisers. But it is entirely keeping with American puritanical morality which the fact it still exists is somewhat comical.
@AnneHoney Pretty sure neo nazis are not advertiser friendly either so that makes the double standard even sillier.
AnneHoney · 41-45, F
@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow they give you the ability to block what 500 people. Not much that happens in the world that everyone agrees is right or fair or logical. Sticks and stones. I happen to think universities that block people from giving opposing view points do far more damage to our future than any idiot neo nazi can hope to.
@AnneHoney Blocking people is irrelevant.


Right, because nazis have never hurt anyone or influenced anyone. Everyone in 30s Germany just magically came the same ideas independently. 😂
AnneHoney · 41-45, F
@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow there was no freedom of speech or choice in Germany. They had more what you suggest we do and have someone decide what people can say. Freedom of speech is one of the most important things in our constitution. Not freedom to say what you like or I like. Look up the Supreme Court decision to allow nazis and kKK to March in a predominantly Jewish neighborhood in Skokie Illinois. It is far more dangerous to deny speech than have hate speech.
@AnneHoney Lol no. Just no. Do even a basic google search about 20s Germany and it is the complete opposite of what you suggest.


You speak of the 1st Amendment but based on how you apply it here clearly you have no clue what it was about. It had nothing to do with fascists getting a pass on anything they say without consequences.


And the SCOTUS also at one point ruled black people were not fully human. An appeal to authority fallacy is not really helping here.


And the idea that shutting up dangerous ideas is more dangerous we literally have decades of proof that that is not the case.


Carl Schmitt famously pointed out how extremists weaponize and exploit the rights and freedoms of liberal democracy to undermine it and to attack others. He also rather infamously joined the NSDAP later on.

@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow you saying I’m wrong doesn’t make it so.

And no SCOTUS did not decide that. Congress led by northern states decided slaves were not to be counted as a whole human so that they would not give southern states an edge in congress.

Of course freedom of speech applies to things we don’t agree with. That is the most important reason it’s in the Bill of Rights.

Sorry you don’t understand our system and why it has survived. Your points are exactly lead to the woke craziness and safe places where no one had to hear opinions they don’t like. Want to destroy the USA remove the right of Free speech and there are those doing it and already have changed elections.
@AnneHoney I am saying we have literal decades of evidence proving it is wrong.

Look up the Dred Scott decision.


The 1st amendment which you referred to applies exclusively to protecting you from retaliation from the government for your speech. That doesn't apply here.


You don't understand history or civics based on your statements and your deflection to "woke" bullshit distractions just confirms that.


And you might want to actually learn what freedom of speech means in the context of the bill of rights before going off on people. 😂


Free speech is not a blanket removal of all consequences for your words.

@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow stick with Canadian things you are lost when talking about our country. Just support your PM who appears in black face and is as looney as a toon. I’m not here to educate you despite how confused you show you are.

@AnneHoney I will also say freedom of speech in the US or Canada doesn't mean you are entitled to a platform.
