Censorship

From Encyclopedia Dramatica

The chick at ElfOnlyInn explaining why screaming "Censorship!" on the internets is plain retarded. 99.9% of LJ users don't get this comic.

Censorship spoils everyones fun.

Contravention of freedom of speech. In internet terms, a phrase used to refer to any banning or deletion of any post whatsoever in a forum or community.

Screaming "Censorship!" is a classic Drama-generating technique and a perfect way to attack a moderator or an admin everytime you don't agree with any arbitrary decision taken by him. It doesn't matter how small that decision is, because if you're lucky, a bunch of retards like you will suddenly become rebels and start screaming "Censorship" as well. After effectively igniting the flame, the admin will have to either lose a lot of time explaining people the reasons of his decision or start banning everyone. Either way, the troll wins.

Example:

Prima: Announcment: I just banned Secunda because she crapflooded my forum with kiddy porn.

Tertia: "OMG this is CENSORSHIP u r not letting teh TRUTH about 911 come out!!!! HITLER!!!!!!"

The problem is, 99% of Censors (or Forum Regulators or whatnot) look for porn and smut. Think about it, they get paid to look for extreme XXX stuff that is illegal in most countries. Don't kid yourselves, the government workers who get to decide what rating a game is going to get aren't normal people. They spend their life watching Disney movies to make sure there's no titties for the kids to see. All in all, Censors are f***ed up in the head. They might say you're a sicko for watching child porn, but before they delete it all, they save a copy to their PC. Its the truth.
