Indeed. Which standard do you, gentle Slashdot read, want: * Videos that people want to put up, and that people want to see; or * A curated selection of videos that are best for you, as judged by your betters
We know that oppressive governments the world round demand the second option. Which should you demand?

See, but here's the thing. Irresponsible speech that promotes violence will always lead to suppression. You 4chan jackoffs knew this a long time ago, but thought that it was more important to be edgelords and have lulz than it was to be responsible. So now, you reap the whirlwind and spoil it for every
A society that can't take edgelords in stride is pretty damn useless. Maybe the answer is to realize that humor, tasteless or otherwise, is unimportant, and let is pass.

Oh, society can "take" the edgelords in stride, alright. It strides right over them. Historically, it's been done on a regular basis. It was done in the 1940s, and again to the KKK in the 1960s. And now it's your turn in the barrel.
Society interprets hateful edgelords as damage and routes around them.

All your whining about 4chan and talk of barrels like a parody of the very edgelords you criticize, yet general society seems to be even less inclined to support your side of the fence today and ratings for your SJW media are lower and lower with each week, both in trust and viewership. Equating 4chan to KKK and Nazi Germany is the kind of rhetoric that resulted in this, and also in labor unions giving a middle finger to the far left now, of all things. Maybe it's not the edgelords who are going into a barrel, maybe it's you who is putting a barrel to your own head and you lack the self-awareness to notice it. Each time you post, your own side's position is undermined and hit. Maybe there's a lesson to learn from this.

I see no problem here (except with some employees who are complaining, who should probably be fired).
