> there should be nothing indictable about this.

it isn't indictable, but people are free to have a much higher bar than the legal system sets for what they consider acceptable standards to interact with their children.

you're free to post all the porn you like on your public social media profiles. parents are free to not really want you to be around their children.

the fact that you are legally free to do all kinds of things in this country doesn't mean that you can do them without any social repercussions.

the freedom of speech isn't freedom from criticism, and from other people's negative social reactions, it just says that the government won't throw you in jail for it.



"Freedom of speech" has multiple meanings. One is a question of law (e.g. the gov won't arrest you) the other is a statement of guiding principle (e.g. that it is good for people to feel able to express themselves).

The scope and worth of that principle can and should be debated, but it shouldn't be ignored. E.g. shunning anyone who expressed the opinion that maybe homosexuality shouldn't be banned would have been bad for social change.


There's a difference between broad societal shunning of someone for public expression of their sexuality, and wanting to keep things of that nature in the adult sphere of society and away from kids.

I think sex work should just be legalized. Roblox's head of content moderation should not be a sex worker though.

I don't have a problem with people having lots of visible body art. I also don't have a problem with employers not wanting to hire people who do. I don't think anyone is the victim there since its just the consequences of personal choices and should be seen as a situation which is working out for both sides of the equation (those people probably would never be happy at those jobs).

Based on your job you may be held to different standards than society at large and there is nothing wrong with that.


Jfc dude saying somebody who literally makes kids toys should be horny on main is not a freeze peach issue.


That sentence is unintelligible.


My bad dude i forget hn isn't the zoomers paradise all the other social medias is.

Jfc = jesus fucking christ (exasperated)

horny on main = being horny on ur main account. like the boomers who make thirsty comment on 20yo models ig posts without realizing it's their real names they're using.

freeze peach = messed up spelling of free speech used to mock ppl who whine MuH fREE sPeECH when they can't say the nword on twitter (literally 1984).

Urbandictionary is good for all these btw.
