censorship

1. stopping the free flow of art and ideas.

For those of us in the US we do NOT enjoy the right to free speech (even though it is in the constitution). The supreme court ruled in the Miller case that "obscene" materials are not protected under the 1st amendment and can be banned or regulated; translation: regulated censorship is constitutional thanks to a few activist judges who wanted the government to impose its morality on us. Basically if the subject or content is sexual in any way then whether its obscene or not is up for majority vote; they actually said if the average person would be offended by it and think that it had no artistic value (if you weren't offended by it or thought it was a work of art why would you want to ban it in the first place). This is why it is illegal to give porn to minors, because it shows sex even though this should be decided and enforced by the parents the government is getting involved. Also there's no law against showing violent material to minors, so basically its worse to expose them to consensual sex than murder.

Get the censorship mug.

Censure Society

Light-years beyond the current Cancel Culture movement, extending thousands of years back into early human history when ONLY the victorious and most powerful dictated what 'reality and truth' would be brought forward through time.

Throughout time, Censure Society has defined what we collectively accept as historic reality. Just remember: The victorious dictate THEIR interpretation in deference to many other possibilities...timing is EVERYTHING.
