Here goes the "sex-positive attitude" bannit was pushing for so long.

I wonder if that Tommy Merkel admin shares the common theme for reddit admins.

Good for them. Porn has largely been the one thing Reddit hasn't been censoring.

Was the ban laid down on the basis that it resembled porn though?

It is not actually porn at all, just photos and footage from the actual olympic events that is focused on butts, genitals, breasts and the like. Ya know how the swimsuits and gymnast outfits can be.

Women Athletes

Constantly seeing "women" used like this; what do progressives have against "female".

To be fair, until 5 years ago no one thought there was a difference between women and female humans, most old people still don't.

If I had to guess, probably because "female" implies biological sex and thus wouldn't include dudes who like skirts and makeup. And that's not ~~inclusive~~

When they ban the porn Reddit will finally die.

    Uh no, that was just the auto-title when I pasted in the URL. I personally think it is ridiculous that Reddit is censoring images of the athletes just because some people were perving out on them, thats why I posted it in s/censorship

    Reddit is a degenerate second rate Porn Hub with news.
