      Now 4chan becomes the face of resistance to this shit, and people will think it is only being opposed by a bunch of deplorable incels. It delegitimizes the entire opposition - you can’t speak out against it any more without being associated with 4chan and whatever the fuck kiwi farm is.

      At least that’s the risk, and that’s why I wish these sites would go die in a hole rather than involve themselves with things I care about.

        Tbh, I don’t know why a push by more left leaning sites hasn’t happened? This would at the very least show the broader unpopularity of the age verification law among pretty much both sides.

          Because they have too much shame.

          It takes the shameless to stand for freedom most of the time.

          Which means frequently it’s the worse kinds of people, the loudest and the most shameless. Who start. Others then follow once the ice is broken.

            I guess the parts of the fediverse that allows adult content. There’s a lot of people on the fediverse dedicated to supporting sex workers and stuff like that. None of these sites or users are in a position to sue the UK though, I’m just giving a pedantic answer to your question.
