The Destructive Forces of Feminist Censorship
Posted: January 24th, 2013, 8:58 pm
I've watched some interesting videos lately, which have provided some interesting takes on feminist censorship.
The first one is from The Ignored Gender (You can skip to 3:50, but the whole video is interesting):
He emphasizes that it is not the fact that misandry exists in the media in the first place that get's to him, it is the fact that feminists only want to censor misogyny and leave the misandry up there. Personally, I'm all for free speech, and I think censorship should not occur as often as it does. I'm happy for misandry to stay up in the media, as long as misogyny does as well. But feminists only want it one way, and in so doing they impede upon free speech.
The next one is from ManWomanMyth:

In this video, he says he used political correct language to have a horrible sign taken down at his school that stated "Women in Computing: The Future is Too Important to be Left To Men". But afterwards he had second thoughts, because he was conducting censorship which makes him just as bad as the feminists. I have never seen such intellectual honesty from a feminists…feminists just censor at will.
Finally, Barbarosaaa has made a thought-provoking video about feminist censorship in the video games industry:

What I really found interesting about this video was that instead of emphasizing the censorship act itself, he placed more emphasis on the CREATIVE FORCES that go into making the video game and the thousands of hours out into it by creative hard-working individuals - all the hours of programming, the artistic aptitude, the creative story lines, etc. Feminists don't have the ability to create such masterpieces, so instead they encroach upon the creative processes of others, and dictate what they can and can't do.
So, in other words, it is a destructive force, not a creative force.
I really enjoyed this - I've never thought about feminist censorship from this angle before.
