The forces of art and the forces of power, ever since their existence, have always clashed with each other. The battle field, where the fight for artistic exposure is suppressed by the powers of censorship, is not just one field, but a massive number of fields. Fields like painting, advertising, food, media, and even gaming are being massacred by the weapons of censorship. Now, is it wrong to hold back art, or is it wrong to let it run free? It all depends on how the art is presented. There are good sides and bad sides to art. In the infinite battles of the war of art, the outcome of the war has already been decided, even before any battles have taken place: a stalemate.

It's like a disease that spreads like wild fire. Censoring morally wrong material can stop all this madness. The government can have a better functioning society where violence is low and tax dollars aren't wasted. It is not just the government that should be doing this. It should be the guardians as well. Guardians have a duty to protect their children. Not just their children, but the children of whoever they meet. Guardians play the role of a role model for the young ones so they can grow to be good people. It starts a chain reaction that can only be stopped by censorship. So censorship is not all that bad.
