It seems like every side wants to ban content nowadays. It’s really quite sad. One side wants to ban books with two men kissing and the other books that use the wrong pronouns. Although if that’s what you meant then I agree. | ||||||||

> One side wants to ban books with two men kissing and the other books that use the wrong pronouns. One of these things is happening and the other is not (no one is banning or endeavors to ban anyone from using the wrong pronouns). | ||||||||

Apparently, recently this is new and exclusively Republican policy: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Book_banning_in_the_United_Sta... Republicans are seeking to ban thousands of books nationwide. | ||||||||

With these "both sides" arguments why is it always "heres thing one, which is definitely happening and has been for decades. And here's thing two, which could hypothetically happen but never has and almost certainly never will" I mean, it's absurd. It feels like a psyop. Is this a targeted propaganda campaign? | ||||||||

Stop trying to both sides. I see crazed MAGAs banning books here and I would bet if we look at numbers the crazies censor at least an order of magnitude more than whatever you're referencing. I can't think of an example of books being banned by non rightwingers, but will look into it now to learn. | ||||||||

"Wrong" pronouns -- what does this even mean? I feel like there are a lot of conservatives who are unaware about what sex and gender actually are, and rather than looking for understanding they prefer to mock because they are lazy and chose the easy route rather than understanding other people. Real rough to have a society when one side just wants to openly mock the other. | ||||||||
