Remove any one of these and the whole damned process stops.

HackerNews: the last line of defense for the moral status quo... and hiding it under the guise of TOS conformity.

I mean, sure, what would a comment about the moral outrages of 2016 games and 1800s games, both manned by stuffy Victorian-esque pearl-clutching couch feinters desperately hiding their grotesque physiques under an abusive reliance on contemporary styles, possibly have in common?

What happens when mass-media-enforced morality is obviously engaging in an endless parade of ridiculous moral panics based on flimsy redefinitions of words like "harassment" and aggressively doxxes, downvotes, bans, and supresses anyone trying to call it a moral panic?

EDIT: Exhibit A.

Don't forget the "we have to stop online harassment" hysteria.
This account won't last long. I can already smell Dang reaching for the shadowban button.

Silicon Valley better learn to live with the idea that it's the Empire now. Everyone they've deplatformed will stop at nothing to blow up the Death Star called Google.
