    Its really wierd to me that Streisand effect became the accepted name for this.

    For example the 1st child’s play is saw In the UK was 3. Purely because it was banned

    Attempt at clarification edit

    I had no interest in yhe child’s plat movie franchises until the 3rd movie because it was banned

      It’s a catchy name and it was among the first examples of the effect in the internet era that amplified the effect many fold. There is no reason for me to know about Streisand’s house and there is no reason for me to know about this painting. I have only know about them because the internet exists.

        I have only know about them because the internet exists.

        It’s even better than that, even with the internet existing I’d have never interacted with these bits whatsoever if it weren’t for the person in question throwing a hissy fit and trying to get something deleted off the internet. If they just laughed it off and let it slide it would have gotten about 1% of the attention currently being brought to it. We only know about this painting because she was so offended by it that she decreed no one must know about it. We only know about Barbara Streisand’s house because she decreed no one must know about it.

      Can you repeat or clarify that second sentence? I’m pretty sure there was a typo or mistyped word somewhere, and usually I wouldn’t mention it, but in this case I actually can’t interpret the meaning.

        The first movie in the Child’s Play movie franchise they saw was the third iteration, Child’s Play 3; they were motivated to see it because it was banned, an ironic backfire of the censorship decision.

          Thanks! Knowing the meaning now, it was the “I” to “is” typo that threw me off, since “saw” is also the type of movie to get banned.

          Perfectly clear now, thanks. :)

          I got thrown because “is” came before “saw”, which is also a scary movie, and I just couldn’t disambiguate.

      The first child’s play movie wasn’t saw, the UK definitely wasn’t 3 when you had seen it, and saw was never banned in the UK although Grotesque and several Chainsaw Massacre films were. /s

        I haven’t seen a single saw. Just not interested.

        Childs play 3 was absolutely banned in the UK I’d rather not link the reasons why its pretty grotesque though

        That said I just learned the ban was lifted in 2002

          I was making fun of your spelling errors and grammatical mistakes. I never even said Child’s Play 3 wasn’t banned lmao.

                  It didn’t really make sense to me in context. Maybe there was some other missing word or grammar that would have made a difference…?
