I don't give two cents about any of this, but here's a thought exercise on not banning things because it gives people on the wrong side of history something to hold onto: evil and good always find a way - the people in the right side of history also had to hold on to something, be it a carnation or three fingers fucking the air. The interesting part here is that evil always lurks in the laziness or comfort of good, so taking advantage of a good thing is always the lazy evil thing to do. If we let people parade around with this shirt, be it for edginess or foulness, maybe an example should be set and not let that happen.. on the other hand... back to first sentences and so on.
Perhaps letting people have the stupid shirt and catch the evil lazy fucks a while later is the way to go (uh so harsh). Perhaps ending encrypted internet and finally catching the pedos and eastern bots is the way to go. Perhaps reading everyone's mind is how we finally catch the predators.
I don't care, nothing is absolutely right, ban or don't ban, but I would look for the people trying to unban it first hehe
