Now 4chan becomes the face of resistance to this shit, and people will think it is only being opposed by a bunch of deplorable incels. It delegitimizes the entire opposition - you can't speak out against it any more without being associated with 4chan and whatever the fuck kiwi farm is.
At least that's the risk, and that's why I wish these sites would go die in a hole rather than involve themselves with things I care about.
Tbh, I don't know why a push by more left leaning sites hasn't happened? This would at the very least show the broader unpopularity of the age verification law among pretty much both sides.
What's a left leaning site that has lots of 'adult' or 'harmful' content?
I guess the parts of the fediverse that allows adult content. There's a lot of people on the fediverse dedicated to supporting sex workers and stuff like that. None of these sites or users are in a position to sue the UK though, I'm just giving a pedantic answer to your question.
You're right.
