Hello everyone. if one bothers to read the origins of the obscenity law, you can see how much difficulty the justices had in defining offensive content. exactly like this thread.
in the jacobellis case of 1964, justice potter stewart had the same problem. all he could do is utter the famous phrase " i know it when i see it"
as a result the definition of offensive content is wishy washy "community standards" It is applied subjectively, allowing face abuse to produce but max hardcore did time for the same thing.
this thread is another effort to define the line as to what is offensive. & like SCOTUS, this thread is unable to draw the line, because the same content offends some people & turns on others.
the bottom line is what lyno just said - if you dont like it, dont look at it. otherwise you support censorship.
