Forbid subs dedicated to PORN (ideasforvoat)

submitted ago by Glory_Beckons

Consider making a global "no porn subs" rule.

Not some kind of puritanical general ban on even occasional tits and/or ass (to make a point or something). Just subs dedicated to porn / focused on porn posting. They're out of place here.

But that''s censorship!

The internet is full of porn. Porn is not in need of political asylum. You can find and post it all over the place. Even the scummy and illegal varieties (sadly) have plenty of dedicated websites.

So why post it here? What is even the motivation? Why make the effort, given the minimal audience for it here? This is not a matter of censorship. But of staying on point, and getting rid of junk and spam that just doesn't belong. Not to mention some of it could be legally compromising... and for what?

Awkward edge case: /v/DeepFake. Lots of porn, obviously, but technically more than that. Certainly has the potential to be used for much more. A bit sad that most people threw a fit over the porn instead of seeing the potential. Also arguably a political issue.

Alternatively: Differentiate between NSFW and PORN

WHAT THE FUCK. YOU ARE ON THE WRONG SITE, GO TO REDDIT OR YAHOO ANSWERS FAGGOT. OR JOIN A SHITTY GROUP ON FACEBOOK AND SHITPOST MINIONS WITH 70 YEAR OLDS.

You seem to have awfully strong feelings about this. Is this your go to place to jerk off then? When the urge to spank the monkey hits you, and you wonder to yourself "where oh where in the big, wide interwebs might I find me some porn," is it Voat that comes to your rescue?

If so, I think you might be the one on the wrong site. And rather ironic you should point me to Reddit, seeing as it is full of porn. Perhaps you should check it out.

Maybe the term or solution to this. The ability to filter porn from showing up. There is setting to turn nsfw posts but it hides all nsfw.

So I guess we could ask put to make new tag one to mark regular nsfw post and one for porn.

But you shouldn't say we should forbid it.(unless it's illegal)

How about no you normie cunt

This is puritanical censorship, no matter what you say.

Glory_Beckons ago

Is keeping porn out of schools puritanical censorship too? How about out of libraries? How about out of work?

Context matters. It doesn't belong here.

SBBHandPVareRETARDS ago

Yes. They should be available at all those places. You have to be 13 to use voat, according to the terms of use. Next you'll ban National Geographic from libraries, fuck man.

Glory_Beckons ago

Really? Porn in school, and libraries, and at work? What for? Between that and confusing National Geographic with porn, I think you might be on the lower end of that minimum age requirement.

SBBHandPVareRETARDS ago

Because who the fuck do you think you are to limit he liberties of others?

Hate to break it to you, porn exists at all those places already. You're such a virtue signaling nigger that you keep your eyes closed.

Glory_Beckons ago

> projecting this hard

Hahaha. Are you even listening to yourself? "Limit your liberties"?

Nobody's talking about taking your precious porn away from you. All I suggested was to maybe put your dick away while at school, in the library, at work, and on Voat. Because none of those are really the right place for that sort of thing. There are plenty of websites and venues dedicated to, and far more suitable for, taking care of your hormonal urges.

But apparently that's enough to you so hard, you start virtue signalling about muh liberties and muh oppreshun. Oh Lawdy! The struggle is real! You might actually have to click the address bar and type in pornhub.com to get your fix. Oh, the humanity! Whatever is the world coming to?!

Pathetic vermin.

Not wanting to censor someone is being triggered. Okay, sure. Look in the mirror faggot.

Nobody was talking about bringing their dicks out?? What a loser.

Glory_Beckons ago

Nobody was talking about censoring anything either. Didn't stop you from throwing a fit about muh liberties.

Like I said in the OP, this isn't a matter of censorship but of getting rid of spam.

Nothing wrong with explicit content as long as there's some point to it. But subs that are just for posting porn without rhyme or reason... what's the point of doing that here? Who comes here for that sort of thing?

All they do is clog up the feed with unsolicited smut. And the only way to filter it also filters a lot of other "mature" or "not work friendly" posts, many of which are actually interesting and relevant.

Are you seriously incapable of grasping the conceptual difference between filtering spam and censorship?

CENSORSHIP

SBBHandPVareRETARDS ago

The only junk I've seen around here is you. Go fuck yourself, censoring asshole.

Weasel_Soup ago

You can choose not to see nsfw posts in your settings.

Glory_Beckons ago

But I cannot choose to see all other NSFW posts, but not porn posts.

I don't want violent / unpleasant / any real content to be censored. But I don't come to Voat for porn.

Which is what the alternative suggestion was about. But people don't seem to like that either.

NewAccountOldGoat ago

Forbidding the subs won't fly but I kind of understand the point you make in the "alternative suggestion".

Le_Squish ago

You faggots are trying everything to pry open that censorship door from the porn angle, huh.

Not gonna work.

How about you take some personal responsibility for what you view and post more of things you want to see?

You argument is that you support the censorship of X because you feel is not an endangered form of expression. That is not the point you filthy, oven dodger.

Voat has three rules: No spam, no illegal stuff, no dox.

Glory_Beckons ago

Who is "you faggots"?

And while I appreciate your vigilance, accusing someone opposing (((porn))) of being an oven dodger is rather ironic.

It's a suggestion, in any case, not a call to arms. I saw the remove loli subs post and wanted to see what people would think of this, fully expecting opposition. I expect most people will just downvoat the title without even reading the post.

I am surprised by the downvoats on the alternative, to separate NSFW from PORN. Why would anyone be so opposed to that? Just people angry at this one downvoting the other because I linked them / made them at the same time?

You argument is that you support the censorship of X because you feel is not an endangered form of expression.

No, my argument is that it is not censorship at all. Baseless obscenity is not speech. It's spam-tier noise. And it is out of place here.

Who comes cough to Voat to get their fap/shlick on? It's just absurd.

It's like having a public town hall meeting to discuss... town issues... and suddenly some guy gets naked and starts yelling obscenities and humping the furniture. You'd kick him out. And clean up the mess he made. Of course. Why wouldn't you? Is that violating his rights to speak his mind at the town hall meeting? He had his chance to speak his mind, and chose to be obscene instead.

Voat has three rules: No spam, no illegal stuff, no dox.

Yes. I know how Voat works. And this post is suggesting a change. Which is what this sub is for.

Besides, as I said, porn on Voat is effectively spam.
