This includes some porn subreddits as well as subreddits like /r/Drugs. Apparently due to being "unmoderated", but some were not. What are your thoughts?

Edit: apparently also subreddits like /r/transgender_surgeries is banned too. Definitely feels politically motivated.

/r/rule34 is banned, meanwhile /r/guro is still up. Wtf is wrong with reddit? That's the one sub I actually think should be banned, why ban the rule34?

Just checked that subreddit out. Seems like the perfect place for necrophiles. That is just disgusting to look at. Though I don't think it is something that should be removed.

How about neither of them should be banned. Fuck this puritan BS

Do you know what /r/guro is? It's sexualized gore.

[–] 3dogsinatrenchcoat@slrpnk.net 2 points 18 hours ago

Yes it's awesome and sexy. Don't be a weenie.

It's art. It's not real, and it's not hurting anybody in real life. We shouldn't ban things because they make you uncomfortable, we ban them when they harm actual people.

Edit: this is in no way an endorsement of that particular fetish. I personally think it's sick and disgusting. But it's not my place to tell someone else not to enjoy it if nobody was harmed in its production.
