gollark: Thing is, this mechanism for banning things would be controlled by a *government* or something, which means that when a sufficient mass of people complain that something is Clearly Immoral™ (see: homosexuality, drugs, whatever else) it would be banned.
gollark: Too bad!
gollark: Maybe require a warning or something, at most?
gollark: So inform them, don't force them to not do things.
gollark: I mean, our government does that for some stuff (drugs) and it's quite bad.
