Well, that didn’t take long…
Culture 11, the conservative website that honoured no sect and cherished no party, has effectively ended. In its place stands Censor 11, an altogether more shoddy replacement.
Joe Carter explains his paltry excuse for reasoning here, the offending post in question is rather bizarrely stored here. Apparently so foul & heinous that Joe doesn’t mind it posted under his name. The strongest response yet (besides Will Wilkinson’s, in comments) is here. To that I have only to add that this part of the reasoning was by far the most telling:
I myself have been scarred by the behavior that Ms. Gray defends [therefore] the defense of it is not something I can condone on Culture11.
Note the assumption that simply because dear Joe’s experiences with “hook-up” have been poor, the same will be true of everyone. It is impossible to have encounters which lead to outcomes distinct from his own, and from his annecdote we can extrapolate the outcome for every human that would attempt acts of such great “moral stupidity”.
All patricians see themselves as physicians, though, and Carter is no exception. He knows sickness when he sees it and if he needs to quarantine a post or two to stop it spreading then that’s what he’s willing to do. Disregarding patient consent he springs into action and starts purging.
Why is it that so few conservatives can come up with a non-deranged position on sex?
Edit: It would seem that David Kuo has sprang into action. Too late? Perhaps not. Then I’d have to start arguing with feminists and liberals again…
