Plagued Ruben Sim Derangement Syndrome - Because it's definitely a good look to attack a guy who takes down pedophiles.

[McMitch]

I don't think Discord would be doing themselves any favours if they decided to defend this decision by saying "we came to the conclusion that it was better to expose hundreds of thousands of children to sexual abuse than miss out on revenue."

If a large group of known paedos and chomos were drinking in your bar, your bar would rightly become known as a paedo bar and it probably wouldn't be long either being shut down by the law or burnt to the ground by local fathers. Sorry, but "it was in our financial interest" is not an excuse to expose kids to people who want to rape them. In fact, it actively means society has a duty to destroy your company.

This is a bad analogy. Discord isn’t just passively providing a service to people who are incidentally undesirable, as you have described, but are actively working to prevent such undesirable actors from being apprehended by law enforcement or oatents. In your analogy, it would have to be as if the bar were facilitating the pedos by allowing them to bring in minors while also not IDinv anyone before serving them alcohol, while also barring police and parents from coming in to recover said minors.

Well, this doesn't surprise me. If you staff your companies with troons and other pdf's, they take actions to protect their own.

It's like if somebody invented an ID-scanning technology to reliably tell if an ID is fake, and Anheuser-Busch said they would stop distributing beverages to any bar that uses it because it catches far too many gay men plying teenage boys with drinks.

What's the story behind YouTube and what's the best alternative?

 

[Aero the Alcoholic Bat]

This is the most egregious part for me. The bot didn’t phonebook them, leak their shit, or anything else besides just ban them from participating in servers that have been confirmed to be used primarily by minors.

Wasn't the bot designed to hide the IDs from anyone who use it, it's only designed to kick people?

parents trust their kids of being able to handle themselves on the internet and sometimes the kids betrays that trust.

>parents trust their kids of being able to handle themselves in strip clubs and sometimes the kid betrays that trust
Kids can't handle themselves on the internet because the internet is not for children period.
Just don't give your kids internet access. That's it.

Discord has banned Ruben's Ro-Cleaner bot that auto-banned members of Roblox porn servers from any child-friendly Roblox servers that chose to use the bot. Discord is explicitly, deliberately protecting child predators that use their platform to groom children.

ETA: if you want to learn more about Ruben's work on the Ro-Cleaner bot, as well as the mobs of pedophiles and porn addicts that the bot has made melt the fuck down in rage, Ruben's made some great videos about it that I'd highly recommend giving a watch:

Discord is facilitating child grooming. This isn't just delusion or bias, this is genuine. It is fucking ridiculous that a platform like Discord which has already been flamed in front of US Congress for this EXACT problem continues to enable it and block people from trying to stop it on their own.

We're already way past the point of return for this kind of stuff. This is an ideal solution, but it's not realistic. All kids use the internet frequently and it's a safety issue.

For what? Watching skibidi toilet? Why does little timmy NEED an ipad?

Social stigma. It's a social thing. If half the kids have an ipad, the other half will feel like they're missing out. Kids always want the latest, hip, new, trendy thing. That's why Gen Z and Gen Alpha got hooked on the internet so quickly.

This, coupled with the fact that many parents nowadays simply do not have the time to raise their children properly/simply don't care at all, so they just buy iPads because it calms Timmy down enough to the point where he doesn't run around the house breaking everything since toddlers are naturally energetic + curious

So what? I'm not letting my kid smoke just because all the other kids in his class also smoke, this is retarded as hell.

There are plenty of other solutions to this that don't involve ipads.

It is. I'm not defending children using the internet and I agree with you, but we're way past the point where we can just cut off internet for children. It's not realistic. The most that can be done is give them their own space and keep pedophiles away from those spaces like what Ruben is doing. Using your analogy, for example, if you gave a bunch of kids cigarettes and let them smoke for 90% of their upbringing, it'll be essentially impossible to get them to stop.

The Internet is a part of everyday life in the 21st century. Keeping children from using it would be like keeping them from watching TV or listening to the radio in the olden days: arguably beneficial but unrealistic unless you're the Amish.

You're not wrong, I'm just saying that the solution I mentioned seems to be the most common one nowadays, especially coupled with the fact that the Internet is basically "essential" (not quite but it's still extremely important) nowadays, even in third world shitholes.

What a shame. Too bad we have tools to fight back.

You give a kid the lollipop and he cries if you take it away, sure.
-First, so what if he cries? Spoiling your children is not a necessity and it's ok for them to go through "hardships".
If you fucked up and made a mistake, that doesn't mean you have to let the mistake fester just because it's difficult to undo.
-Second, when exactly are parents going to stop giving the lollipop in the first place? It should not be normalized to give children ipads because it's not fucking normal.

>Discrimination against anyone based on protected characteristics

Translation: We've been getting complaints that you're making it too hard for certain individuals with protected characteristics to groom and rape children. We here at Discord believe in inclusivity and part of being inclusive means liberally applying the "protected characteristics" label to large groups of people. We're sure black people and Mexicans wouldn't mind being lumped in the same boat as pedophiles. They're not bigots, right?

We're blocking your app because you're making things too difficult for pee pee touchers who make up half our user base. Don't be a bigot.
