Why even censor a presentation given at a professional conference?
Nobody asked the payment processors how they felt about it, MasterCard is very sensitive these days
I used to work for an association that held 1 large conference and 2 small ones each year. As the video/motion graphics guy, part of my job was to screen every single slide deck for every single room.
Main stage was never a problem as they did most of their edits with the meeting director but the small rooms? Hoo boy. No you cannot advertise your book at the end. No you cannot use copyrighted media in your presentation. No you cannot have a sticker graphic that "holy shit!" on a slide.
Not gonna say what industry it was but they were all highly-paid professionals
I have a presentation that I gave on philosophy of science for scientists (as a scientist who has been increasingly interested in that discipline as a hobby interest), and one of my slides had this image, which describes the scientific method in terms of "fuck around and find out". The context of the presentation was such that this kind of joke wasn't inappropriate (and was a useful way to break the tension and not make a bunch of scientists feel patronised that I was clarifying how the scientific method is defined), but I can definitely imagine a world where at a larger conference, someone like you would have to tell me off for that slide
Sure wasn't my industry. It's nearly obligatory to meme your slides and include pictures of your pet(s) on the "any questions" slide.
On the other hand, I'm in libraries. We may be professionals but we're not highly paid 😂
Why not? Every single rule you mentioned seems really stupid and useless.
The censorship tool was given too much golden shower smut. Thats where "stream" must come from lol
Now I'm imagining some overly zealous network censoring the show with David Boreanaz and Emily Deschanel for the same reason, and just how hilarious that would be.
