When they directly said that wasnt their job, just a few months back
If Patreon doesn't decide, who does?
Well they said they wouldnt do that
funders ?
Maybe the patrons?
if people don't like it it won't get monnies
If patreon was run by people that got mad at the word "cracker"
and went around targeting podcasts that used it
admittedly its not the same at all
But its still their decision to own
There is reason to ban without allowing just Patrons to decide for themselves. Patrons have to decide AFTER they hear something. Banning prevents something. There are kids younger than 10 who use Patreon. It's reasonable to try to keep the tone of conversation within a certain spectrum
So his N word thing happened off of patreon
I guarantee you if Patreon banned anybody who said Cracker the free speech crowd would be less happy, not happier
People would become patrons **before** being well aware of the content they help fund ?
Free speech for all, whether we like it or not.
@Countess Yes. I'm trying to get you to talk about the principle but you're only resorting to talking about the specifics of one case
@Illyrian Even 6 year-olds?
Because I dont agree that is what the controversy is about
@atheist4thecause I must.
what?
Im fine with it
Its part of their policy
Patreon specifically said they would not ban you for things off platform
Even if you’re referencing a book?
Well, technically, Patreon has left it open for them to choose whatever they want to do
quoting ought to be fine wouldn't it ?
But you are acknowledging that some banning is okay
Their written policy does not say that
and in Jacks interview
he said that would never happen
Yeah im not anti ban
Does their ToS limit them from doing that?
You are allowed to moderate their platform
Im not sure how much legal responsibility they are held to on their own terms of service
Its about them lying
@Illyrian it's possible to quote a book saying the n-word and just putting starts like n****r
it's childish
@Illyrian So you are okay with 6 year-old regularly reading and picking up saying the n-word?
@atheist4thecause I consider that to be ridiculous and infantilizing.
Six year olds shouldn’t be on social media.
