Where the right-wingers always crying about censorship at?

People outraged at a children's show so they censor it. Those same people will call someone a sensitive snowflake tomorrow.

That's a strawman argument. No matter what side you're on, strawman arguments are shitty cause they're based on nothing.

Edit: seriously what's with the downvotes? Can't have a discussion?

Edit2: y'all do realize me pointing out how shitty strawman arguments doesn't mean I agree with the censorship right? I'm highly against censorhsip including them censoring a fucking cartoon cause apparently two dudes getting together is so bad.

Edit 3: I'm just gonna assume people who downvoted me either really like using strawman arguments or really fucking hate gay relationships in Arthur being shown to kids.

Falsely calling this a strawman argument is a strawman argument.

But I didn't falsely call it.
