Maybe we should split this trope into two: one for reasonable objections to \\\"objectionable\\\" content, and one for extremists? Maybe a new trope for people who wish to censor or do whatever to \\\"offensive\\\" content because of some objectively reasonable issue, and keep Moral Guardians for people who wish to censor or do whatever to \\\"offensive\\\" content because OH MY GOD!!! DON\\\'T LOOK AT IIIT!!!
One thing\\\'s certain, anything that falls under \\\"Moral Guardian\\\" is associated with mindless extremists trying to protect capable people from reality. The problem is when some legitimate reasons to restrict content end up here. Consider A Clockwork Orange (the book) . . . it shouldn\\\'t be read by grade schoolers. I can make a logical argument why, but this post is long enough as it is. Anyway, I don\\\'t think the book is bad or evil or whatever (it\\\'s one of my favorite books), just that grade schoolers shouldn\\\'t read it.
Thoughts?
