I posted a comment under the game "Brain Preservation" where i likened the game's main character to Donald Trump. I used the term "fat orange clown" and my comment was deleted. Why was this?
From an objective perspective, the main character in the game looks like Donald Trump - this may even be a deliberate action by the game developer. Donald Trump is inarguably fat (his diet, by his own admission, consists mainly of McDonalds burgers - see Morgan Spurlock) and he is inarguably orange from his use of tanning beds. Whether or not he is a clown is my own subjective viewpoint and, since he is a parody of himself, his own caricature, I believe the description to be true.
Was my comment removed because the site moderators have a different opinion? If so, that would amount to censoring me for holding a different opinion: do you also ban Muslims for worshipping a different religion? Homosexuals for loving non-straight partners? Democrats for voting for the 'wrong' political party?
I appreciate that rude, abusive, profane comments need to be moderated, but if you're censoring non-abusive, polite comments just because they don't adhere to your own beliefs or opinions, thereby inhibiting free speech, then that is another level of control all together; authoritarian, indeed Orwellian.
