Websites banning words, deleting thousands of amateur videos that did nothing wrong. And yet, I'm still seeing discussions among the younger crowd, seemingly frothing at the mouth regarding what other words should become "banned" in porn. Yeah, we're banning words. It's great. Apparently, "teen" is next on the chopping block. For a number of reasons, referring to women as "teens" is wrong and immoral. It either implies impure and illegal thoughts, or that you're just a gross old man who sexualizes youth in women, and that's not okay either. So pretty soon, you won't be able to use the word teen to describe what you're looking for. Perhaps at some point, down the road, you won't be able to watch any content of that specific subject matter altogether. Because these people have no respect for the right of any such porn to exist, IMO. They hate it. They use it as a scapegoat for their own problems, and nothing is more important than all of their own personal hang-ups and their emotions. They want to see the end of anything that makes them feel uncomfortable, and that's really what it comes down to. I've seen those very discussions quickly escalate into a "porn is fundamentally immoral and should not exist" conclusion.

I've already seen the censorship impact genres which I do actually watch, and care about, and it will continue to spread. Words like "slap" for instance, and many others have become banned on some websites because they trigger people. Somehow, they have the connections to move things further in the direction of censorship with the powers that be, and they've been moving on this front for several years now, and I feel it's far from over. What is even left of porn, if we allow people to arbitrate what is moral and what is not, regarding the language and communication of the medium? What good is porn, if it's sanitized and comes with a PG-13 rating? What does it help if we act to subdue and censor away everything that makes *some* people uncomfortable? We're left with nothing. It's the beginning of the end.

I can't imagine anyone here would actually agree with the banning of words, and making porn adhere to this hyper sensitive "nothing uncomfortable can stay" dictation, but who knows, perhaps some of you do? If you do, or don't, please share your thoughts on the matter.
