Fuck Spez
Absolutely fuck spez.
But he's right here. Just because he's a fuckstick doesn't mean he's always wrong on every issue 100% of the time.
Various forms of censorship under the flag of 'online safety' have been pushed by governments since the internet began to exist. And before that with print media and television. Censorship is not the answer. Never was. First it was for porn, then it was for video games, then it was for hate speech, it's always something.
But in the words of Captain Jean-Luc Picard,
Censorship must be opposed.
I disagree since I think censorship can be desired when combatting hate speech. Maybe we just disagree how exactly we use the word 'censorship'.
