Question on ban announcements

Never heard of goatse and while I'm getting an education still not seeing the whole picture. Probably just as well.
Yeah I too didn't have any idea of what a goatse is and just Googled. Weird that that is a term and weird still that people post that.

Yeah I too don't see the whole picture still but soft as it may sound, a month does look harsh.

Yeah look I'll die on the hill of tricking someone into clicking on a link containing a photo of a gaping arsehole being worse than posting a political opinion people don't like.

>inb4 omg Cribb thinks racist rants are just unpopular political opinions!!!1!

No, I just think Shady will define the latter as the former a whole lot. If someone actually did go and openly post a disgusting racist rant they'd be banned as well.
maybe it’s in part a generational thing at play here in that growing up it was all the rage as a geeup to trick your mates into looking up meat spin or lemon party, however i’m not personally particularly fazed by what nintendo did. i’d say it’s obviously jejune and a bit crass, but i do suspect he being younger than me he probably had a similar experience on the internet with his mates at a young age; on the other hand, one of the biggest ways racism and other forms of vile bile sneak under through the radar is, you guessed it, their label as “political opinion”

Like yeah we can discuss how we moderate discussions about politics and race and what not but not in the context of "should goatse be banned". Like seriously, just not going to entertain that as a discussion.

I, for one, think that Nintendo Co., Ltd. should be cancelled for this outrage! How dare they post family-friendly stuff on porn sites!
