general Do men ever face sexism and double standards?
Black Sabbath replied to AlicornSpell's topic in General Discussion
Men certainly face both sexism and double standards. For example, the court system is much more lenient when it comes to women. They do, just casually mention the feminism movement and you'll have no shortage of people complaining about sexism against men.- 48 replies

Tumblr to ban adult content starting December 17th
Black Sabbath replied to Plonkett's topic in General Discussion
Maybe not, but sites like Reddit do. And Reddit hosts adult content. Also, not relevant in the slightest. -
Tumblr to ban adult content starting December 17th
Black Sabbath replied to Plonkett's topic in General Discussion
No, they're doing it because Apple kicked them off from the app store due to their childporn issues and this is the easiest way of solving it. How are you gonna ban a type of content without flagging it? Have users manually go and report every posts? Let me correct myself, every other site that allows on to host adult content don't seem to have that problem. So why can't Tumblr do the same? -
Tumblr to ban adult content starting December 17th
Black Sabbath replied to Plonkett's topic in General Discussion
If you aren't already aware, the software tumblr uses is hilariously bad at distinguishing what's porn and what isn't, which has led to a lot of sfw fanart and such to get flagged. In fact, IIRC it even flagged the post in which the Tumblr staff announced this ban as nsfw. Right, but again no other website seems to have that issue. -

It really doesn't. Like, if they can't ban child porn properly on it's own (which would be weird since seemingly every other website is capable of it), then why would they have a bigger success rate by removing porn in its entirety? -

Right, I agree. But that doesn't make this ban any better. -
Yeah, a lot of people posts blogs in which they review games so that should be fine.

I'm sorry, but what is your point? I'm aware that Tumblr isn't gonna be able to remove 100% of the porn posted there, that's not the issue. -
Chinese babies had gene editing done- ethics?
Black Sabbath replied to ManaMinori's topic in General Discussion
Eh, in this particular case I'm against it. Mostly since it's unclear if the parents were informed of what exactly could go wrong. I feel like we can't really compare this to vaccination. After all, if a vaccination would cause someone some kind of problem, that problem would be limited to that person. But if we make a mistake with gene manipulation that causes some kind of problem, that problem can be inherited by that person's children and then their children etc. I've always found it a bit funny how many uses arguments like this, yet so few volunteers to partake in unethical experiments. -
Tumblr to ban adult content starting December 17th
Black Sabbath replied to Plonkett's topic in General Discussion
Right, but again I'm not worried that this will lead to some sort of purge of adult content of the internet. I'm worried that if people take this lying down, then other people will adopt a similar style of moderating. -

Black Sabbath replied to Plonkett's topic in General Discussion
I feel like we're not on the same page here. The issue isn't that they're removing porn, it's that they do so because they can't be arsed to properly moderate the content in question. And I'm a bit worried that if people don't voice their dislike for this kind of behavior, other websites will realize that they also don't need to properly moderate their content and that should they ever run into a problem as a result, they can just remove anything vaguely related to said content and call it a day. -

https://www.google.se/amp/s/techcrunch.com/2018/11/19/tumblr-booted-from-app-store-due-to-child-porn/amp/ Granted, but it's still a major dickmove to remove all adult content because it's easier than to actually put some effort in and fix the problems. -

1) You can't disable it. 2) Then that's the kids fault 3) Again, they aren't doing this to prevent kids from seeing porn. They're doing this because it's easier for them to remove all adult content than actually solving their childporn issue. -
Tumblr to ban adult content starting December 17th
Black Sabbath replied to Plonkett's topic in General Discussion
Because Tumblr is gonna fuck over a large portion of their userbase since solving their actual problem takes too big of an effort. Even if you don't care about the porn, you should at least be a bit concerned about the message this is sending. And it's important to make a big enough fuss over this so no other websites decides to do the same thing. But that's not why they're doing it. And even if it were, Tumblr has already permanent safe search filter on so it's impossible to access blogs with "adult content" if you're under 18. -

I'd take this argument a bit more seriously had you not simultaneously argued that the show needs more male characters. If we shouldn't care about the genders of the protagonists, why do you? I feel like that's a huge stretch. If watching a show with only female characters leads you to think that mles aren't as important then you didn't have all your horses to begin with. As for the friendship thing, you don't need to have male main characters to prove that males and females can be friends so I don't really see your point.

But is that really the case here? It's just teaching kids to be nice towards each other. So? It's still forcing kids to "think a certain way".- 11 comments

I don't really see the issue. I mean, don't schools already make "people think a certain way" by teaching kids things like it's wrong to bully others?- 11 comments

And your point is? Is still constant in the way that it acts a certain way 100% of the time when observed, unlike magic which only does it when you need to prove it's real. And that's why you can't use this experiment as an argument for magic. Like yeah, this experiment does prove that observation can have an effect on what's being observed. But it doesn't prove that the effect is going to completely random. Because it uses the same logic as your argument. What makes your magic true, but this one false? But your comparing apples and orangutans. For this to be a fair comparison, the only proof of the sun causing cancer would be that we can't prove it doesn't.
