Censorship is not a new problem and has always been rooted in one thing; moral panic. Moral panic has always been rooted in irrational fear, whether the fear that video games will make people violent or sexist, or the fear that depictions of drugs and alcohol will make people engage in said activities, or the fear that depictions of homosexuality will make people homosexual. In none of these circumstances has any of these fears been proven correct.



Furthermore, censorship is disrespectful of the fans and it insults the intelligence of society. Art, no mater which form it takes should never be watered down for the masses, because the worst that can happen is that it gives people something to think about, and this leads to personal growth. It does not matter what is censored, what is important is that society as a whole loses from such anti-academic methods.

“It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.”

― Aristotle



Please do not contribute to the dumbing down of society and the watering down of art and entertainment.
