I wasn’t planning on it, but since you asked, I finally watched the entire video and took (lots of) notes. But now I don’t know what’s allowed in this thread anymore:
To be fair, controversial subjects were always against BLF rules.
It’s just annoying when people don’t follow rules, then the rules become stricter, which means the rules are being breached even more thoroughly and frequently that they get considered even less, which leads to even stricter rules… until almost nothing is allowed and virtually everyone is guilty.
I was weighing a response to some other posts too, but it’s a tough call: either don’t respond and allow misinformation to go unchallenged which has substantial societal long-term risk, or respond and break rules. eg. the explicitly banned V-word has continued to come up.
The asymmetry of the situation rewards those who flout the rules.
Tempting to just say:
but even that is a losing proposition.
