> Or do we truly live in a world where all sorts of horrors have become socially acceptable yet a static image of a cartoon frog is deemed "adult content"?
Society has always had “outgroups”, to which anything is permissible. In medieval times, there were literal “outlaws”, to which laws did not apply, people who were fair game for anybody to kill without repercussions. Later, there were witches, satanists, heretics, anarchists, bolsheviks, jews, communists, homosexuals, pedophiles, terrorists, nazis, racists, and fascists. At some point in that list, your mind might have just said “But those people deserve it!”. But labels are mostly applied by other people; nobody declared themselves a witch. Do you truly want the law to be so weak as to not protect you, should you someday find yourself labeled and put on that list?
That cartoon frog is, currently, on the list.
