The, “official line” is that this stuff isn’t allowed because of US law, and indeed there appears to exist such a law on the books. But I can’t be the only one here who wonders just how enforced that law is? Is this site even hosted in the US?
Edit: does this law extend to animal on animal violence? Self defense against animals? Accidents involving animals?

I like reading threads like this so much. A predictable fun with little changing when it comes to siding and any arguments / statements. Like a movie you would watch the 8th time, even though knowing how it goes. Another opportunity for virtue signalling... It's at least good if people go moralstrag about the actions, not reactions. IDK how to call these considering reactions to the videos 'not proper', can't do shit about not being terrified or not crying, but twisting on chair like crazy instead. It's bad and all that until they'd need this type of user.
Interesting how there's not even much people not from any of two main 'sides' (I don't count admins as any side, just because they have to care about the law and this site). And I don't mean any position 'in the middle', but the separate one. I don't mind coming across animal torture videos randomly, as long as there is no autoplay. I don't mind some users who watch them for various reasons, and don't really mention it in the comments. But I'd like the site to not go down, and if hypothetically law would allow this as a 'grey zone' - still, it would impact the userbase and just cause more arguments and moralstragging. People appreciate this site for not having ads, porn and animal content, so why not stay distinct? If allowing more and more, there wouldn't be much distint things left, apart from Marsey I guess.

Well, it sounds like nothing is gonna change. Which is fine. But I just wanted to pick some brains and see what people thought. I’ll watch animal abuse if it’s an animal I don’t like. Though, you’ll probably have moralstragging and arguing regardless.

These people who have the most to say - and actually something valuable / more insight view (as a viewer, I don't mean producing OC lol) / anything fresh - just won't do it. Some people go nuts when seeing 'animals' and 'torture' together, just would go aggresive upon slightest differences. Even if they'd agree with another user. Ah, and about 'most to say' - it's similar thing as with people being tortured / hurt / dying.

My opinion is only, I’m happy it’s not allowed because I wouldn’t be here if it was. Same with porn and not regulating people being unhinged.

I wouldn't be there if 'people being unhinged' were moderated or porn allowed. Don't mind animal content as long as it's not gonna take site down and isn't forced (autoplay, no sorting etc.). But the userbase wouldn't be the same. And few other issues. Like someone mentioned below, that's just downward spiral - with animals there is much more possible to do and creativity levels just skyrocketing. Rest is... nevermind, just would be my overly emotional shittalk.

The people being “unhinged” are moderated, banned and their posts deleted we just don’t usually see it. The mod team takes care of all of that pretty well.

Lol, I'm apparently too tired as I understood not moderating them (like free speech if no one is actually hurt).
