I plan on doing that, I'm just here to see how they censor it to have a proper reason to stay with the anti censorship people, just because something is censored as long as it doesn't ruin anything it can be ok, but more often than not, the how is more jarring and irritating than any why could ever be.

[@An_Amazing_Login5036]

Censorship is still the wrong word to use and it annoys me. Censorship is a state banning/prohibiting speech in a Public space. KZbin is not a public space or a state authority despite how it may seem, and everything here happens with google’s blessing. Nor are they prohibiting or even pressuring the Escapist to do any editing, as far as it seems.

[@egamruf]

Is this point really worth taking? I mean at best we can say that... maybe you're right? After all, the bible doesn't name any of them except Death. The moniker 'conquest' comes from a passage (I've leeched this from wiki, so apologies to anyone whose bible it doesn't match): "I looked, and there before me was a white horse! Its rider held a bow, and he was given a crown, and he rode out as a conqueror bent on conquest." By the same metric you could equally call him the archer couldn't you? In ancient times the preferred interpretation was 'conquest', but more modern people prefer 'pestilence' - wiki claims this is because some interpretations of the bible mention the riders having power over 'plague' and they wanted to attribute that capacity to someone. Who knows what his correct name is, eh?
