and duck duck go is wrong on that one lol

if self censorship is due to societal standards, then it is with social pressure that it is enforced.

force is still a prerequisite

So in the context of your post, if the person removed homophobic content because their boss told them to then yes it is based in force. If they removed it because they evolved and became more sensitive to homophobia organically then it wouldn't be based in force

Then the question would be if its removal is even a form of censor

in the case of "evolving" and choosing to remove old posts. why did they choose to remove them?

why go dig through a timeline and remove it?

if not for fear of what others will think

Well if their views have changed, they may see value in ensuring their products reflect their current views.

In a timeline where noone can look at things through the lens of the time of when it happened, this could be important

right. so it is from societal pressure

Im not saying your wrong, im saying i don't know their motivations and therefore would be reliant on projected motive

for sure.

Not societal pressure at all. Its important that people see me for who i am not who i was. Not because of societal force, but so that i can engage with a person and they come into the engagement with as accurate of an understanding of me as possible

I.e. there is room for non-nefarious motivations that arrive at the same outcome. The removal of homophobic content

fear of being perceived wrongly by society would still fall under societal pressure. sure, its non-nefarious.

after all, the argument is whether or not authority/force underpins censorship.

But that is not necesaarily based in fear. It could be based in convinence. It gets people to know you quicker if you don't have to waste time on inaccurate perceptions. A person with a professional haircut has an easier time in interviews. They may choose to cut there hair so they can spend less time proving why their haircut does not reflect an inability to do the job. They are not forced to cut their hair, they have chosen to based on self interest to ensure the perception of their appearance reflects their skill.

Hey guys I have a very serious question and I'm hoping to get a lot of peoples' opinions....

Uh oh...

I'm wondering if I should get minecraft.

Minecraft is awesome

trying to find something to stave me off until BL3

minecraft is fun.

wow classic is out today iirc. im a fan of the total war series and humble bundle has a sale on them

Minecraft is great.

Make a run through vanilla, and then shoot for modded MC.

FTB and the likes.

There are multi-packs geared towards witchcraft and wizardry, technology, gems, different land spawns, etc.

not interested in mods

honestly i don't have the bandwidth for mods or online play

and there's no way I'd play with a bunch of 9year olds

Well, if you have enough RAM and a decent CPU/GPU you should be more than fine to run mods, but that's up to you.

I think they elevate the game as there is only so much you can accomplish in Vanilla.

@Legalize No.

I'm not rich enough to even own a pallet of cash in 1's. Lol

I'll send you 3 tons worth of cash @Legalize
