Censorship

The use of the principle of moral protection, thereby keeping that which may offend or breach the boundaries of good tastse, for society, and in particular, children, and keeping bad language (swearing) and pornography out of mainstream awareness.

Wow, all this porn on the internet and everywhere, you can’t help but see it and I don’t particularly want to!

Well, say something.

I tried, but the free-speech/anti-censors used Censorship on me.

censorsplit

When a moderator on a discussion forum splits off a batch of replies to another thread for purposes primarily related to censoring viewpoints they disagree with by removing them from the larger, ongoing debate and marginalizing their impact.

While the site was owned by well known skeptic educational foundation, staff were apparently instructed to use a 'divide and conquer' strategy in dealing with any dissent. Arguments critical of policy were often split to new threads for being 'off topic,' thus diluting both their continuity and traction. It was a subtle form of censorship one wag dubbed as the 'censorsplit strategy.'

Consoomer

1. Someone who consumes entertainment content (movies, TV, Youtube, video games, etc.) like a glutton consumes food, indiscriminately and without appreciating its intrinsic worth or lack thereof, or for whom the consumption of content becomes mechanical and compulsive.

The consoomer is distinct from the coomer, the latter being a subset of consoomer who specifically consumes pornography.

2. A feckless person who dissipates all his energies by consuming the aforementioned content in a compulsive and morbid manner.

Remember our old classmate Sam? He turned into a consoomer, watching TED talks all day. Apparently he killed himself last week.

Andy: Yeah, and?
Dave: Well, aren't you going to say "I'm sorry"?
Andy: Fuck that, 5 years is way outside the condolences window!

Consolification

Consolified:

Simplified enough for a console, though not always their fault. Or have the feel of a halfhearted port to the PC from console.

Either: Overlapping key assignments, for example tap for one thing, hold for another (DX:HR knock out/kill), or different effects in different situations (run/cover mass effect, or free run/jump assassins creed). Basically the controls feel cramped, and could be easily spread out on the keyboard/(8 button)mouse.

OR: Interface optimised for console, then ported to PC (eg: Deus Ex: Human revolutions - hacking, witcher 2 abilities, assassins creed select menu... etc etc etc). Alternatively crippled graphics for the PC, so consoles can run it too.

OR: The game just feels dumbed down, so that it would work with consoles not having a mouse (eg: Deus Ex: invisible war - 'simplified' inventory), or even more frustrating, not being able to select stuff on an interface with a mouse, but rather having to go through an awkward series of up down left and rights.

OR: Finally, and it has to be said: story modified for a 'console' audience.

Example of most consolification: Modern Warfare 2 (story, graphics, keys overlapping, and no looking around corners).

Example of a console game brought to the PC: Assassins Creed
