It's like watching a room full of 3-year-olds have a collective temper tantrum. The ones screaming about "delicate flowers" and such need to take a hard look in the mirror.
So one person got a post hidden for posting homophobic/misogynistic term, and it's the death of DU, I tell you, the end times are here.
The thing that I think is truly hilarious is that the piece in question is extremely sex negative. It's portraying specific sex acts as being awful and shameful things, to insult people we don't like. That's the delicious icing on the (very tasty) cake... the free speech, sex positive brigade is shouting loudly in support of quintessential sex negative, shaming language.
Nothing in the world wrong with fellatio or vibrators, when used by adults in a consenting way to produce pleasure. But when you portray giving fellatio as a demeaning, shameful act, and portray the use of vibrators as some kind of deranged activity.... oh yeah, that's real "sex positive", DU.
And anyone not on board with everything about that rant loves Dick Cheney now. Or something.
I appreciate a good rant as much as many people, but in this case, the specific language used deserves to be criticized. What is staggering is the number of people who can't handle the suggestion that the language is problematic, and as you pointed out, are screaming at the top of their lungs that "the CENSORS who want to CENSOR US have to SHUT UP!!!". It's awesome.
