As Sigma pointed out earlier, a strong enough social taboo can be just as effective. Hell, far more so, considering how impotent bans on media are nowadays.
In any case, no one even brought up bans except for you. I've said many times already I was comparing your views, not your actions to Thompson. You can stop whipping that strawman out any time now.
Thompsons views were not what madee him notable, what was notable was the call for action. I am not calling for action.
Yes I think some things are awful and shouldn't be done-there's a huge gulf between my personal opinion and an action to enforce my belief.
I'm allowed to have opinions, if you have a problem with me having said opinions then your stance isn't that different to mine. I'm doing something you disagree with but you aren't going to call the powers that be to make me stop. So my opinions are safe, and so are the rape games.
Just a quick reminder, Thompson didn't even consider games to be speech that people shouldn't be making. He didn't consider them speech but rather "dangerous physical appliances". I've never made an argument that's even remotely similar.
Look Art. I think you shouldn't make a rape porn game or a kiddie porn game for the same reason that I think you shouldn't pick your nose and eat it. It's disgusting, but if you want that sweet, sweet snot I can't stop you.
