What would you ban if you could?

That is already banned.

If that’s the case, I see a lot of rule breakers.

Those types of pics aren't banned.

I am pretty sure they count as ZCEs.

Wouldn't they count as Just a Face and a Caption?

For that matter, people thinking “character looking kinda menacing” counts as Nightmare Fuel.

I would ban the ETA on my phone's GPS app.

I would ban those anti-smoking CDC commercials on TV.

Notably, nobody said crime.

Jokes aside, I'd ban Just a Stupid Accent unless heavily parodistic.

How "magic" is this topic? If I say, fossil fuels are we also taking care of the fat cats that keep it a problem in this hypothetical new world? If I ban a taboo, are people going to use their new freedom well? Am I overthinking it?

It's only meant to be a semi-serious thread, so let your imagination run wild, I guess. You could imagine real world consequences if you wish too...

I was actually miffed that I couldn't find that one Truth commercial on YouTube. The one where there are a lot of people on the beach having fun, and then some airplanes fly by carrying banners that list the nasty ingredients found in cigarettes and the smoke that they produce. I had a great comment for it. I wanted to say this: "Hey, I'm on vacation. Can't you lecture me about the evils of smoking on a work day? "

Those Liberty Mutual ads with the emu.

Those expired car warranty telemarketing phone calls.

I know fake mobile game ads were already brought up in this thread but I’d like a motion to ban Project Makeover ads in particular

I would ban all the mobile game ads that end in failure.

I'd ban talking about flat-earthers. Seriously. They're the most annoying strawmen ever created. They don't even exist, they're barely a few dozen lunatics. Yet internet somehow convinced people that they're a pervasive and dangerous sect. It annoys me so much to see people loosing time writing verbose texts to disprove their ideas, as if there was any need to.

Bold of you to claim there'a a limit to human stupidity. Got anything to back that up?

Yes, there have their institutions. But how many are them? A few thousands perhaps? Are they seriously putting at risk our civilisation? I'm yet to casually meet a flat earther, both in real life or online. Even in posts dedicated to debunk I never saw them appear. And I never met once a single person, who even remotely had a doubt about earth being round. Basically the only flat earthers I know of are outspoken members of their societies.

flat earthers exist all over around the globe

Okay, but they're funny.

Those Medicare ads featuring Joe Namath, Mike Dikta, or Jimmie Walker.

Facebook posts that attack Whoopi Goldberg & The View

I would ban the YouTube channel Disney Food Blog. Lately they've been posting a lot of videos that criticize Walt Disney World and other such "bad" lists, which are starting to get more annoying than thought-provoking.

Speaking of YouTube, video titles with the format "(character) being (character trait) for (number) minutes."

Compilation videos themselves are fine, that title format just bugs me.
