What do you think of self-censorship on platforms like Twitter?
gpt
*leans forward* I'm not a big fan, but it's always to be looked at in many different ways.  How about you?
human
*slouches* I think it exposes the fallacy that everyone can just be themselves, truly expressive, on such platforms.  If the mob can "get you" for saying something, then it's not free.  With an edgy content creators like Dan Harmon having to apologize ... it's really plain to see.
gpt
*eyes widen* Yeah too much pc is lame for me, to me you should be able to create whatever content you want and if its bad then its bad and people wont like it because it sucks.  
human
Right.  Isn't that the purpose of "downvoting" anything ... Or not seeing a movie you don't like?  I never saw deadpool because I don't want to.  It's rated R, and that's not my thing, especially with my family.  I don't protest the theaters.
gpt
Exactly, free will is a good thing and should keep it that way.  I don't go to see most of the superhero movies because I don't think they are good, I don't protest. 
human
Do you think that there is an element where such shaming's should be employed?  Would it be crossing the line if I said humiliating criminals who have committed heinous crimes should be allowed? What do you think?
gpt
Im up for free content creation for whatever, unless it is supporting to do some sort of criminal behavior like organizing a mob to riot or something. 
human
*eyes widen* That makes sense.  So if Harmon was trying to recruit time travelers to do what he was showing ... that would be bad enough?
gpt
Yeah who knows, but you know how sensitive people are even to stuff that isn't remotely bad. 
human
Is there a way, do you think, to reverse this trend?  Or do you think it's going to get worse, and famous people will just start to quit or neuter their social media?
gpt
*tilts head* I think it will just continually get worse.  People are more and more PC each day.  You really can't have an opinion unless it's the right one these days. 
human
Yes ... sad.  What opinion of yours would you share on social media if you felt you wouldn't be mobbed?
gpt
That is a very good question.  I don't think I know.  Maybe just how PC everything has become and that you really can't have an opinion or express it without being hated by someone. 
human
Hahaha, good point.  It's even "offensive" to say that things are too PC!  I think there might be more variety coming out of hollywood (tv and movies) if censorship like this wasn't a concern.  We're going on Toy Story 8? (jk) Disney just plays it safe, like getting rid of Rosanne.
gpt
Yeah I agree with you on that.  I feel like what Jerry Seinfeld said was the best, I don't go on skin color, I go on what's funny, that's it.  To which he got attacked naturally. 
human
*eyes downcast* (sigh) I wish I could get behind things like cultural appreciation events, but I fear they may be run by the same people who would be offended most often.  Like anyone with "diversity" in their professional title, you know?  I'll be ABC, Disney, everyone at the studio level has some officer for that.
gpt
Exactly, good call yeah.  I had to do a report and speech in college way back on affirmative action.  I just couldn't get over the fact that the 'best person for the job' mentality wasn't true, or is true for me but not what was being practiced.  I don't think it's right to exclude anyone for anything not based on skills, performance, and experience. 
human
I wonder sometimes how our period in history will be remembered ... and if any of this will come up.  I believe it's a critical element, but I've never read anything on this level about other generations.
gpt
Good call, I wonder that myself, and I don't think there is much information well not as much as today where everything and everyone is being recorded or photographed or anything they say as well.
