@Darth Sonic  
What mod wrath? The mod already came and went and you last posted like 4 days ago. A guy said he wanted to eliminate porn he doesn’t like from the universe and you disagreed and compared it to book burning. Oh boy call the Feds.

I would like to point out that the Nazi comparison was a complete accident. And I apologize for that.
 
As for the “creative medium” gaff, yeah, I admit I couldn’t think of the right words, so I went with what I remembered. My bad.
 
Replace “creative medium” with “sub-genre”, and we’re good.
 
Again, sorry.

The drama you’re seeing is a result of this statement that I made a while ago  
@Darth Sonic
“… I personally would like to see all pony porn wiped from existance, but I know that’ll never happen.”
 
not being to the liking of some individuals, whom promptly began comparing my personal dislike of MLP pornography to Nazism, fascism, totalitarianism, etc. as shown here  
@TexasUberAlles
Pony Porn is a creative medium. Muddy advocated the complete eradication of a creative medium. Do the math.
 
and in the 1940s German book-burning images below.
 
 
If you’d like a more detailed report, I’d be happy to provide one.

Don’t call people stupid. It’s rude.
 
@MuddyFudger  
Freedom of speech as a concept existed before the first amendment to the constitution of the united states. It’s a philosophical position that the first amendment applies specifically to whether the government can regulate speech. Also porn is fine.
 
Now both of you give it a rest.

Hey look, it’s the typical internet association fallacy whereby anything you don’t agree with is immediately construed to be Nazism, Fascism, etc., ignoring all of the reasons already given in support of this opinion in some bizarre, butthurt crusade to accomplish…what exactly? That ponyporn is a “creative medium”?
 
Well, I can tell you for fact that it’s not a “creative medium” because classifying clop art as a “medium” is an incorrect usage of the word “medium” to begin with. A medium is something like paint, ink, pencil, SFM, photoshop, or a book/paper—it’s not associated with the content of the piece in any way other than its’ physical composition (with a few exceptions).
 
Digressing, I can still see what you were trying to do. Pleading the First is logical in the case of, say, freedom of press. However, it (like many laws, policies, and similarly ambiguous statements) is not to be used arbitrarily, or without discretion. In other words, you have to use common sense when enforcing, or even considering these policies. By your logic, highly racist/sexist/otherwise offensive “art” (propoganda) should be allowed everywhere arbitrarily, simply because the First and the underlying concept even exist.
 
 
I’m not going to have this turn into a “Drama in the comments”. If the off topic anti-anticlop witchhunt doesn’t stop here, the mods will be notified. If you want to continue debating this in a civil manner, you can send a private message or open a forum thread.
 
@TexasUberAlles  
Thanks bud, your opinion is totally valid too.

@TexasUberAlles  
… Wait, the second image was Nazis?
 
Dammit! I was trying to avoid Godwins Law. It’s why I used that first picture. One of those “let’s burn Korans” bullshit burnings from a few years past. Unfortunately, that picture wasn’t the clearest, so I picked one that actually showed some books.
 
Dammit, should’ve just posted a burning book and be done with it. :(

The shattering stereotypes and uniting the world parts are a bit far, but thats about it.
 
To be fair though, you could also make some of those points about furries and other fandoms as well.
