We all know the govt can only go so far in terms of censorship. We're only talking about something incredibly off the scales of being obscene and perverted by any standard and that is all.
I'll defend free speech to the death, but when it comes to a sicko site like this, I'll defend the imposition of censorship just as strongly.

Yes, speech rights do get eroded when stories, works of fiction, are banned based on their content. It's just one step of many, but an important one nonetheless.
The government can only go so far in terms of censorship for a reason: at some point, people will stand up against the erosion of free speech. If you don't do it though, it won't happen. Rights that are lost are very hard to regain, and if you don't wake up in time you may find you will have lost more than you bargained for in the end.
