And they say market forces aren't real...

Just read about the cub porn ban. Myself, I'm rather glad to see it go, but I'm not one to antagonize those who draw or "enjoy" it. I think it's a rather disturbing form of porn that may have untold effects upon a person's soul, yet I know that people will continue to be depraved, even when there are laws against it.
What I like best though is this wasn't the result of a government mandate or because a bunch of "culture warriors" who think Veggie Tales is pushing it went and petitioned the admins. No, it happened simply through simple, natural market forces. If you think capitalists are all evil, greedy a-holes, then riddle me this, genius:
Why would they avoid funding sites that host cub porn, which is possibly one of the most heinous and morally ambiguous things to ever hit furry fandom? You'd think, being the nefarious cultists worshiping money instead of the planet that they are, they'd have no problem jumping on board with this. Sure, they'd probably want to keep it low key (bad PR is bad PR, period), but pull out? With all the money involved? I wouldn't expect to see the pigs trampling each other on the way to the trough, yet one would figure they'd wander over in search of new money to gobble up.
A more likely answer is that most capitalists are more like Scrooge McDuck. A bit stingy when it comes to their money, and prone to bouts of greed and foolishness. Yet do you think people like him would "invest" in something that has such a large gray area to it? Capitalists, even the greedy, "evil" ones, have limits. They're people too, and just as broken and stupid and foolish as you or me. So, please, give 'em a break, okay?
Enough preachin'. I need sleep. Bye all.
