#self-censoring

[indizombie]

Not too long ago, the Tamil TV news landscape was a mockery of journalism, with channels like Sun TV and Jaya TV being just party mouthpieces. Puthiya Thalaimurai, and the many other channels which followed, changed that by putting the viewer first and giving them better journalism. The journalist ecosystem in Tamil Nadu, which once had heavy Brahmin dominance - and still does in many ways - has seen more diversity in the last few years, and that is thanks to the politics of social justice espoused by Tamil journalists who are under attack now, and their peers. Even so, there is valid criticism against Tamil TV journalism, like any other media ecosystem. There are pressures of TRP, self-censoring, authoritarian team leaders, interfering owners, and personal agendas. But what’s being attempted now is a hostile takeover of the Tamil TV media so a right-wing lobby can control the entire ecosystem, and that can be considerably worse than anything the Tamil TV media has ever seen, as evidenced by what we see on English and Hindi news channels today.

One-Way Tolerance on Full Display at College Level

For decades now, conservative speech has been suppressed on most college campuses across America. Whether its political correctness, intimidation by college professors, liberal peer pressure, or students self-censoring out of fear, today’s universities are not exactly bastions of free thought and the respectful exchange of ideas they once were.

self-censoring confession:

My fanfic, Between You and Me, originally ended with a grand old pornographic sex scene. It was so badly written, I cut it off and rewrote it to be fluff. <3

I use "dude" as an exclamation point, "man" as punctuation, "son" and "girl" as my sarcasm signifiers, but do not let me fucking hurt you. If I'm making you feel dysphoric, or uncomfortable, or maybe like you've been misgendered, tell me. I can and will control what I say in that regard because I realize that that is a kind of fucked up thing for me to do and maybe the fact I use dude as an expression of delight is ingrained patriarchal training anyway but it's also dialectal and it's hard to rid yourself of verbal tics without being conscious about it.
