What censorship accomplishes, creating an unreal and hypocritical mythology, fomenting an attraction for forbidden fruit, inhibiting the creative minds among us and fostering an illicit trade. Above all, it curtails the right of the individual, be he creator or consumer, to satisfy his intellect and his interest without harm. In our law-rooted society, we are not the keeper of our brother’s morals — only of his rights.

So by their logic, I should go out and stab people with an pice pick with impunity because other people go around killing people…. Better sharpen my ice pick! I’ve got an airtight defense!

If “there are fish out there with hooks in them” is a defence, then I completely agree with NojuanEspecial, that would justify no end of stupid and senseless violence. A fish – and any other animal – cannot consent to this. (Nor would they probably if they could…) People can choose piercings, and this is an OK thing to do for us, but piercing any animal, fish or otherwise, is done purely to amuse humans and causing pain in the process.
I cannot in any way condone piercing any animal, even if this fish did “not complain”…
How stupid is this anyway?

Unfortunately, when we lost some of the ModBlog content, it included the post about Rachel’s passing. (Original Post) Rachel passed away on June 22, 2022. She died in her sleep. Even now, it’s extremely difficult to write this post. Rachel meant so much to so… Read more: Rachel Larratt 1980-2022
