The Hive Mind

I check out anything interesting. I saw this post, so, I checked it out. The Scene and animation are enjoyable enough. And you should be free to put what you want in your scene. However, people should be able to review freely as well. Things like that will alienate some people, and get responses, that's a fact. As far as I can tell you are not the first to put out political themed scenes. I have scene AOC, Hillary, members of the Trump family and more. Personally, I would like to see more Political Look a likes from both sides. A lot more! :)
 
I guess you misunderstand these reviews. They didn't give you a bad review because they think different but more because you want them to see your opinion on these things. You most likely would have gotten the same bad reviews if you had the opposite opinion. Just because they don't want to see these kind of topics here. And your statement on the lg... Community is kinda wrong in this case because it simply serves a fetish. And that's what vam is supposed to do - visualizing sexual topics. This is exactly the right place for this. I also don't enjoy this stuff but it's completely legit here.
But your topics are just ideologic and nonsexual statements that have nothing in common with the scene itself. So if you want to discuss these things, you should at least inform the people about your content and don't "hide" this stuff in your scene.
 
Sorry for the little rant but i hate all forms of censorship ... censorship is not the answer.

You have not been censored. Your post is still up, and will remain up. Your freedom to express yourself has not been infringed in any way.

A quote that people who enjoy freedom need to understand "I disapprove of what you say, but i will defend to the death your right to say it." - Evelyn Beatrice Hall

Without free speech & free thought there is no freedom.

I'm confused. You imply you would defend to the death the rights of people to express thoughts you disagree with.

Yet here you are, bitterly complaining because reviewers are expressing thoughts and opinions you disagree with.

You don't seem to understand that *their* freedom of speech and opinion is every bit as important as your own!

Shouldn't you be defending to the death their right to write any kind of review they see fit?

Or, irony of ironies, do you think those reviews should be censored?

It is also ironic that he doesn't support the LGBTQIA+ community and, at the same time, posting lesbian contents. I know that in this context, he is fetishizing them but in a way he is still promoting the ''agenda'' that he's so against. :unsure:
 
I do not know where this discussion started (I'm too lazy to look at what's in the scene), but the author is clearly walking on the edge... now is such an interesting time when freedom of speech works only for one side. Although I may be wrong, there are no problems with racism or LGBTQ+ where I live, perhaps in other countries this is a real problem
 
"I do not know where this discussion started (I'm too lazy to look at what's in the scene), but the author is clearly walking on the edge." - Yeah i'm clearly walking on the edge, great observation skills there lol, this hive mind you all seem to be part of is quite hilarious.
I think you are very wrong about me, but I don't really care about the opinions of strangers ? :alien::LOL: as I have already said, there are no problems with LGBTQ+ in my country and therefore there is no agenda, so my mind is independent
 
No i have not been but if mini tyrants like members of the brainwashed hive mind had their way it certainly would be, the whole reason for giving bad reviews because i do not think the same way as them is to discourage others from viewing the scene, that is as form of soft censorship, if you do not understand that i think you should try to educate yourself.

So because they do not like the way i think and they give bad reviews because of the way i think you think that is a fair way to review a scene, very strange mentality.

Sorry to rain on your persecution complex, but as a moderator here, I suppose that makes me one of the "Mini tyrant members of the brainwashed hive mind" who does not think the way you do. And I never considered removing your post.

What I *have* removed, many times, is reviews based on personal animus, rather than scene contents. Because reviews are supposed to be about the scene, not the scene creator. However, that's not the situation here. Those bad reviews weren't about "the way you think". They were based on what you, as a creator, chose to put in your scene. Clearly, Vam users don't like people proselytizing conspiracy theories in their scenes. And they are just as free to express that opinion as you are to express yours.

You seem very fond of telling people they need to educate themselves. Well, I'd suggest you eductate *yourself* about what censorship and free speech actually are. Because I think those words do not mean what you think they mean. Specifically, freedom of speech is not freedom from consequences. If you want to plaster your scene with conspiracy theories, you're free to do so. And if people want to complain about it, they are free to do so. That's free speech in action.

Frankly, the idea that someone publishing a bad review for a book, movie, or Vam scene is an infringement on the authors free speech, rather than an expression of the reviewers free speech, is some dystopian Orwellian nightmare shit!
