I'm curious what argument was given that was never countered?

I made a specific argument about the conflicting goals of the forum and the prevailing U.S. legal opinions pertaining to them. Others argued that the forum was following the law of the land in making the distinction that it does.

Wtf just happened here
"Every luxury has a deep price. Every indulgence, a cosmic cost. Each fiber of pleasure you experience causes equivalent pain somewhere else. This is the first law of emodynamics [sic]. Joy can be neither created nor destroyed. The balance of happiness is constant.

Fact: Every time you eat a bite of cake, someone gets horsewhipped.

Facter: Every time two people kiss, an orphanage collapses.

Factest: Every time a baby is born, an innocent animal is severely mocked for its physical appearance. Don't be a pleasure hog. Your every smile is a dagger. Happiness is murder.

Vote "yes" on Proposition 1321. Think of some kids. Some kids."

If you want, feel free to make the argument again. I think I must have not understood your point last time.

ETA- nope I got it the first time

I believe the counter argument was

"If girls can't post their nips then boys shouldn't be allowed too! Lalala "

Or something along those lines.

Someone said something about a sacrifice of solidarity is difficult if there's no benefit for the ones sacrificing. I insist that, in this case, there would be no benefit for anyone at all.

That is the point. No benefit drives change as much as realized benefit. For every slight no matter how small, is intent.

You have the right to your opinion as I do mine. I just choose to at least considered the serious povs. I did not mock nor condescend a different viewpoint, unlike some. But no matter this thread is as dead as the stunt that killed it. Congrats. Guess that makes you a winner.

I don't see how it makes me a winner, I didn't kill the thread.

Also, I would have no problem taking the conversation seriously if it was about whether or not it is sexist that female breasts are considered pornography when male breasts are not. But it wasn't. It was about whether or not our staff are sexist for enforcing the rules in a way that we must legally enforce them and/or whether or not we are sexist for not enforcing a completely unnecessary extra rule just to make it "fair". I find the accusation ridiculous and insulting.

It wasn't and maybe some are just hyper sensitive. Everyone's offended on the internet. It a plague of sensitivity.
