You understand this has involved posting things like court cases about childhood sex abuse? I have a wicked sense of gallows humor and I'm near impossible to offend, and I'm not offended here, it's just not fun or funny, which is the purpose of the FUN thread.
This material is not tamer than what is in Hollywood, unless you mean like Seven, but that is not a fun movie. Some 17 year old in a 90s comedy having sex with a friend's mom and it being played for laughs is not on the same axis.
Even if you were to find an apples to apples comparison (which I don't think you can) a real person being taken advantage of is a different thing entirely.
Edit: OMG I just checked, one of the court cases involved a man having sexual interactions with his 3 year old and 18 month old. There's zero chance you can find anything in Hollywood like that OMG.

IIRC this situation involves a multi month long pattern of content posting involving sexual assault and child abuse...in the fun thread.
I don't think thats an unfair mod clarification. It's not like ick stuff is being banned from the CW thread.

To expand on the severity, apparently now the UAE government is threatening the UK government over whatever sanctions will be placed on the club.

I mean it's the clippers scandal but worse. They violated the local equivalent of the salary cap, and did multiple other things beyond that, and did additional major norm violations - for instance teams usually comply with investigations and have even self-reported before. Manchester went kicking and screaming the whole way and was probably doing the same stuff outside of the window that's been "proven."
It's really really bad.

I mean he's the face of the MeToo movement they were always going to obliterate him hardest, add in the fact that he's objectively a creep, ugly, and victimized some of the most influential women (well sort of, but close enough) he was always going to be drawn and quartered.

I'm not saying it's wise I'm saying people are down, and they are still down it just becomes riskier for a variety of reasons (including videos on the internet).
After a certain level of misunderstanding I think it's fair to look a little more closely for everyone's safety.
The CW thread should be pretty close to anything goes, but Wed and Fri threads should be reasonable restricted.
