      If you make a lesser crime have a high sentence, you push people to commit the higher crime instead.

            Fair enough, I wouldn’t consider successfully torturing a cat to death as being less than attempting to kill someone, but if we don’t agree on that point than we aren’t going to come to an understanding here. I guess I fundamentally disagree with the argument that we should incentivize psycopathic murderers to torture animals to death for fun (by having inconsequential sentences for torturing an animal to death) rather than, you know, kill them because they clearly don’t have any place in the world.

    I saw Spree (2020, Joe Keery) a while back. I didn’t realize this was a trend. Absolutely horrible.

      I don’t know whether the law is written broadly enough to do that.

      There are of course free speech concerns here, but if the law only targets cases where violence or other criminal activity was engaged in specifically to film it, even I don’t see that this contradicts my broad understanding of free speech rights.

          your comment would be received a lot better if it said “Does this apply to pictures exposing torture or genocide?”. you’re very confidently claiming it does this thing, and so you got downvoted because it’s not true.

            I realize. Even if it came across as not being able to post snuff, one would think that would be a good thing, but my stars, the level of inability to consider different possibilities or inquire says as much. So I left it. It shows that if the messenger has delivered messages not officially approved by the bandwagon before will automatically be taken in the worst return later.

            And that’s not even touching on bandwagon fallacy.

        these are absolutely unreal. causing your girlfriend to die of hypothermia and then bringing her dead body back indoors to stream next to her corpse goes worlds beyond what i’d guessed a “trash stream” would be, holy shit 😦

        yeah, i think i’m okay with this being banned 😓

          the terms from other countries seem much better, “pathostream” (which i’d translate to “psychostream” to get the message across) or “rotstream”.

        I was thinking Jackass but bum fights is probably more accurate. God humanity is bleak sometimes.
