So more people want to put images in because they are told they can’t, or more people want to choose smaller sizes because they are told they can’t? Am I following correctly?

This is the crux of the problem right here None of us KNOW what litterers will do. We have a better idea of what they’ll do if we do nothing than if we change op return There is evidence the litterers are too stupid to know how to jump the fence right now Which means we are better off doing nothing because many of us have our whole net worth in the park

I don't think that allowing child porn on the blockchain is going to prevent child porn being put on the blockchain. If banning child porn somehow encourages a small minority of pedophiles to try and share child porn well at least we are preventing it. Once these "garbage bins" you want to fill the park with get trash put into them that trash becomes a permanent feature of the park. So it's actually the opposite to adding bins to a park, bins exist so that the rubbish inside them can be removed. A better analogy is that core are adding a public noticeboard to the park where people can post up child porn images and whatever else permanently

Also, what this is doing is making it harder for people to run a node, if everyone has to buy an extra terabyte of storage for child porn, memes, animal abuse, and god only knows what else, well that makes building a node slightly more expensive. It'll also make running a node more expensive. It honestly just feels like an attack against Bitcoin, didn't we already have this discussion years ago? Bloat was the biggest threat that Bitcoin faced, people used to say that Bitcoin will fail because the blockchain will get too big. And now people want to do just that
