Censoring the CDC, of all organizations. What a travesty. The entire world looks to the US CDC for guidelines.

Let's be clear: The political right in the US pretends to care about free speech until they get serious political power.

It wasn't too long ago that conservatives were strongly against the depiction of violence and sex in video games.

I just wanted to say one thing and I will be quiet because I think the ban on these words is totally uncalled for period but the use of wikipedia for an example is not a credible source as it is written by anyone and may not be factual at some point I would look for more evidence-based material LOL
