> Censoring raw information seems like such a seppo thing and I really dont want it imported.
This implies it's primarily or originally an American thing - ignoring literally thousands of years of censorship by countries all over the world, very likely including GP's own.
I had to look up what "seppo" is. Now I get why you were offended.
I just would have thought that a nation that's proud of its first amendment and build on the foundations of enlightment would not go down to the darkness where others for "literally thousands of years" had been.
I go online, into book spaces, and its american parents kvetching that there might be naughty bits in the novels they buy for their 17 year olds. Its american schools trying to limit content. Whereas my english teachers couldnt wait to introduce these subjects into our reading. "The Club" would instantly kill a seppo.
Its american "booktokers" trying to subdivide genre labels to filter out sex and sexuality.
Its americans writing angry reviews that characters had sex in a novel.
Its americans complaining that I would let my kid read any book, where socially no one gives a shit around me. (Be that LGBT content, or old fascist propaganda. Theres always a seppo waiting to tell you that you are """grooming""" a child with information)
Its americans creating sanitised versions of classic books """suitable""" for children
Really theres so much seppo moral panic shit these days that I have a very hard time taking anyone seriously who tries to both side this.
>ignoring literally thousands of years of censorship
I dont care about thousands of years of censorship, I simply don't want to import these stupid ideas from the land of the terminally braindead who currently champion them in some form or another.

The US supreme court appeared inclined to rule in favor of parents in Maryland seeking to keep their elementary school children out of certain classes when storybooks with LGBT characters are read, Reuters reports."
