hold on a

second. these kinds of things make me uneasy, because it’s so difficult to draw the line as to what should be regulated and what shouldn’t. for example, i can easily see someone arguing that the sledge hockey fight video i posted yesterday was offensive and something they did not consent to view, but i would have a real problem if someone told me to turn it off in a coffee shop. recently for work i needed to do some research on hernias that involved looking at a lot of photos of people with really extreme hernias. i myself was a bit overwhelmed by those photos and would have been shocked and displeased to see them by accident in a coffee shop. and what if i were looking at a site arguing that whites in the US should all be rounded up into camps for war crimes against native americans - that would likely offend people also.
