if you're not willing to martyr yourself for your own freedom of expression... well, i'm not gonna say you're a pussy, but i do respect the person who will fight a lot more than someone who would refuse
it's hard not to look down on someone--that is to say, 99% of humans--who wouldn't fight

That's exactly my point. The ideas of freedom of expression and, on the flip-side, freedom to privacy are essentially safe-guards against such magnitudes of irrationality so that you never have to martyr yourself. so it's a right founded not on any rational standard, but because humans are invasive pieces of shit i mean, i knew that all along, but it's no wonder whenever i think about it, i just get an intense whiff of bullshit

But the concept of privacy is something you consider fundamental? i don't believe i said that well, personally, i just don't value it at all
it's just a fundamental... thing, i guess i apologize for the poor wording there, but when i used the term "fundamental", i was referring to our fundamental, philosophical disagreement on this issue--because i foresee the inevitable impasse that we'll reach

it's this kind of mentality that keeps gays in the closet
i can't support that, sorry

Irrelevant.
We live in a thoroughly irrational society, in some respects. so i should hide from an irrational and intolerant authority and remain in lockstep instead of saying, "no, fuck you, i like this, and i'm going to bolster my right to like this" i'd get locked up or murdered but i'd be a martyr.

Would you say then that you take your freedom for granted? well, no, because i don't need privacy, either it's not like how i take my shoes for granted, because i wear them every single day, and if i had them taken away from me, i'd be like, "well, fuck, this sure fucking sucks" if i had my privacy taken away, it wouldn't change anything, because i was never remotely a private person at all

because i don't do anything wrong. By your own standards.

A "freedom to privacy", to me, seems like a necessary corollary of a freedom to expression. Which I think we all value, here. well, personally, i just don't value it at all it's just a fundamental... thing, i guess

it's a hard opinion to express, too, because everyone just assumes, then, that i'm just a nosey weirdo who wants in on everyone's personal information
but anyone who knows me well can reject that notion on its face
i'm just your example of someone who doesn't care at all about his own right to privacy and would give it away in an INSTANT--because i don't do anything wrong.

You won't be so facetious when the government outlaws your favourite kind of porn. i wouldn't actually care though if they did that i get what you're saying, but i can't sympathize with it i just think people's notion of "privacy" is, frankly, an irrational delusion

People knowing that you wear footsie pajamas isn't a strictly bad thing, but that doesn't mean everyone would want to voluntarily divulge that information. i get that, but i just can't sympathize as to why anyone would care so much why is that so damning

i don't think you have any right to be ashamed about who you are ...unless what you're hiding is actually, you know, actually morally bad or whatever not something like... pajamas. or... what kind of music you listen to.

If I have footsie pajamas on my bed, I'm going to try and stop someone from going into my room. People have secrets, and they are often completely legal secrets. But they're still secrets, something you're hiding. So not wanting a camera in your living room doesn't mean that it's because you're cooking meth in it, or that you're planning terrorism.
>having secrets
open book master race
let me rephrase that having secrets like the ones you just described is just creating anxiety. creating shame. you don't have to let everyone know every juicy detail about your life, but if someone "finds out something about you", i don't think you have any right to be ashamed about who you are the only reason i can conceive of is... like, someone gets the wrong idea about you. that's a legitimate concern

Does your list have tiers for each individual user?
yeah that would make a good thread... brb

But only the guilty are nervous in the face of authority!
If you're doing nothing wrong, you have nothing to hide.
people always make fun of this logic, but ...it makes so much sense

Right. But I mean, then there's the issue of, you know, lines. Where do you draw the line between an acceptable amount of romance and not enough romance? Me, personally, I'd do away with romance stories entirely--they're stupid and dumb and only serve to piss a lot of people off, it seems. Fucking Naruto, anyone? I fucking hate Naruto, and even I was pissed off when I heard that Naruto spoilers, if anyone cares <_< Sakura got with Sasuke. So, fuck all this romance shit. It's a cliche, needless plot device that will never die.

also, let me just clarify that pandering isn't inherently a bad thing
but it is pandering
it's just a matter of how much you care

I still think it's pandering either way.
If the show were made in the year 3000 and LGBT stuff was considered beyond normal (regardless of how it should be today), it wouldn't be pandering.
but it wasn't made in the year 3000
it was made during the "everyone is a progressive" age of today
