    It’s no different than what creators have to do in the West when trying to appease their editors/producers/executives, only they are only concerned with what will net the most money.

      On one hand, we have making stuff that lends you in jail or otherwise gets you in trouble with the govt, and on the other one - stuff that makes you no money [which is also not exactly correct since you can even publish stuff under CC and still make money (e.g. Cory Doctorow, LukHash, etc) as long as said stuff has an audience]

        No mate. You’re not looking at this correctly.

        There is an absolutely huge quantity of stuff you simply can not put in media because you will lose your job in the industry. That’s censorship, it’s just smartly hidden censorship that is one step removed from any “official” capacity but everyone still knows it’s there.

        Sure you can publish under CC, good luck getting blacklisted from everything else forever though.

          The problem with dunking on libs is that they just ignore all of your actual, concrete insults, and so to continue the dunking one most fall back on surface-level insults and ideas coined by reactionaries.

          We should just quote the 11 kinds of liberalism at them until they go away (except for the funko pop part, thats a funny dunk, keep that part)
