I think you are missing the point. Being against arbitrary data seems to be the consensus. Weighing the damage spam does in terms of utxo bloat vs having a prunable place for it to go is pretty much what it comes down to. Virtue signals don’t change this issue. I believe utxo bloat is a far greater threat to the decentralized nature of bitcoin than op_return. The majority of the plebs can run a pruned node and the network will suffer no negative consequences. Anyone who thinks a capacity of 4mb every 10 minutes at a cost of over 6 grand is a realistic data storage mechanism is retarded. If you think that fundamental fact is changed by the expanded op_return capacity is now a signal to the market that bitcoin is open for data storage you are not making a serious argument. Anyone who thinks we need an emergency soft fork to change what valid transactions are fudders. Following the likes of Luke jr down his authoritarian rabbit hole of christofascist state worship is the least compatible with freedom money one can imagine so please spare us the soap box about bitcoin as money.
