    Ban Political Ads

    Why?:

    Political ads should stay out of the canvas for gods sake, common sense.

    Its not just my view but the 5 dudes from the political ad “Volt” aka “Volt Europe” will say “iTs ArT”, “LoOk At ThE GaMe LoGoS” - yeah those are FAN ARTS. A political party CANT have FANS, they can have just voters, who want to gain power somewhere in the world, and they use a “neutral” space to advertise their political party. I hope for those guys they get some fat rewards for their ad on the canvas.

    Edit: Thanks for the confirmation @ downvoters that this is for good.

      Sounds like you’re still salty for at first thinking it was an energy company and getting publicly corrected. You had no clue what Volt was when you first complained about it.

      We have Karl Marx on the canvas, we have the anarchism star, we have info material on climate change and veganism, we literally have legal texts, we have LGBTQ+ statements and flags, not to mention the multitude of national flags and symbols - and you didn’t take offense with any of them. The canvas will always, in part, display political stuff. And what we did was just another logo. No slogan, no content, no call to vote a specific way.

      You tried to grief with your 5+ alt accounts, we played fair. At the end our logo came out pretty nicely. And you will just have to live with that.

        we have LGBTQ+ statements and flags

        Those can’t be political statements because that’s just plain existence.

          I absolutely agree that “Trans rights are human rights” shouldn’t be political. It should be absolutely out of question to doubt it even for one second, but here we are in the 21th century and people are still being prosecuted simply for their way of existing. So while the existence of LGBTQ+ people is simply a beautiful fact of life, our ability and will to publicly create and celebrate a representation of them IMHO is inherently political. It is a way for (a / our) society to repeatedly signal to each other how we want to live together. As seen by the fact how uncontested the flags and statements largely were. I’d love to see 9gag try that.

      Hard disagree. I don’t like Volt either, and I’d never vote for them, but I must acknowledge that their political views align with the majority of liberal left users. If you’d like them to be gone, you are more then welcome to team up with friends to replace their pixels with better art. That’s entire point of the canvas after all, to see what emerges when random groups and people share the same space.

      And who should decide if it’s a political ad or not? You could count anything as political ad. Of course there are more obvious examples, like the logo of a political party. But there’s also symbols of political groups, like LGBTQ flags, free software mascots, free software license logos, the fuckcars banner, and whatnot. Your suggestion is just not feasible.

        Its a political ad if there is something political in it. Like for german political partys like cdu logo, fdp logo, afd logo…
