“For me this glass is already broken. I enjoy it; I drink out of it. It holds my water admirably, sometimes even reflecting the sun in beautiful patterns. If I should tap it, it has a lovely ring to it. But when I put this glass on the shelf and the wind knocks it over or my elbow brushes it off the table and it falls to the ground and shatters, I say, ‘Of course.’ When I understand that the glass is already broken, every moment with it is precious.”

also I think if you are someone’s old parent falling for YouTuber propaganda and you bother your adult children with your indoctrination something should happen to you. idk what but something like your skin grows over your mouth so you can’t talk anymore or anytime you go to say something delusional you lose a tooth or throw up a slug instead.

There is goodness in blue skies and flowers, but another force - a wild pain and decay - also accompanies everything.”

sorry i do actually think there are works and art that are harmful to the human psyche, especially for young developing minds, to be exposed to and should subsequently be banned. and it's extremely difficult to take anyone who argues against this notion seriously because it's always either "so you want queer itch.io games banned?" or "fiction doesn't affect reality!" as the counterargument. and like, would anyone serious like to step forward now?

[eysysiphus]

Maybe in the most extreme cases you could make a case that something should be kept from the public, but banning isn’t a solution to anything. I am having a hard time thinking of anything that I’d think should be banned that isn’t just an outright crime. Works and art have context and should be understood through that context, and displayed appropriately. This is just censorship, no matter how well intentioned it is.

And this is such a conservative tactic tbh, it’s the reasoning behind so many people being okay with things like actual history being changed in textbooks or omitted entirely from children’s education is because the kids are “fragile.” It’s the same line of reasoning that some bigots use to talk about not exposing their kids to gay or trans people. It can be twisted so so easily and so often is that it usually just causes more harm. And yeah, we are all fragile enough that we can take psychic damage from the worst the world has to offer, but we should be striving to know how to handle a psychic wound in the same way we know how to reach for a first aid kit or go to a doctor when we’re sick or injured.

Kids and adults deserve to have the tools to help them understand how to reach for context, how to understand what we’re seeing and why. We have to be able to look and see so we can think and learn.

Children should be supervised, educated and helped to process the things they might see. I don’t think kids need to see everything but if they do see shit they should know what to do about it, and adults should know how to help.

"I am having a hard time thinking of anything that I’d think should be banned that isn’t just an outright crime."

birth of a nation and the turner diaries have been cited as works that increased popularity for white nationalism. there is nothing "criminal" about them, but i think their existence has been a net negative for society. just because something is "legal" does not mean it is obligated a platform to spread hate speech imo.

"It’s the same line of reasoning that some bigots use to talk about not exposing their kids to gay or trans people."

i am not arguing for the removal of people from society in the way that these parents do. i am saying "works that promote hate speech or otherwise genuinely harmful ideologies should be banned". i do understand your point but the thing being banned in this case is not a person, but a work. that's a meaningful distinction imo.

[eysysiphus]

It’s a fair distinction but I think it over simplifies how people relate to the ideologies they’re drawn to. If a person is drawn to a book by a white nationalist chances are that book is not the thing that radicalizes them as much as it’s reaffirming thoughts and feelings they were already having. It’s more useful to get to the root of why these ideologies take hold, who is susceptible to them and do something there. With the most insidious, invasive plants you can’t just cut the thing off at the base and think your problems are over because they just regrow from the roots.

You could make a case that the Bible should be banned based on all the violence in it and because of it, and say you aren’t banning Jesus, just the Bible, and people would still go to war about it. Banning things seems more likely to solidify someone’s dedication to whatever cause they’re for. They start feeling persecuted and turn to the people who also think things like they do for community and they become insular because the world outside them is judgmental and rejecting them, and that shit just becomes an insidious cancer growing beyond the view of the good people with good thoughts and good art with the good morals.

We should absolutely condemn white nationalism, but we should also understand why people are drawn to it, how it is spread and how we can most effectively stop it. It takes a lot more than just removing the works produced by these ideologies to rid our communities of them. I agree it should be very difficult for children to get their hands on certain items but they need to know that what to do if they do come across this stuff. That comes down to more work from parents and caretakers and supervisors. If we spend our time focusing on how to intercept young people being radicalized we can probably make a greater difference. I just don’t think banning anything is as effective as we’d like it to be on paper.
