Few days ago, I received a picture from my
WhatsApp group. I think it was a ridiculous picture. Why I said that it was
ridiculous? Before I explain it, I will tell you what the picture was. The
picture was a man walking with a droid behind him. It seemed nothing weird with
the picture. But if we look closer, we will see the silliness of the picture. A
robot with a revealing breast, andCENSORED!!!

Wow!!! What kind of silliness (if I cannot say
it was a stupidity) it was? BREAST OF A ROBOT WAS CENSORED BECAUSE IT WAS A
REVEALING BREAST??? Oh boyshould it happen only because it breast looked like
a womans breast? I didnt watch the movie, and I think it was a woman droid.
But, if even it was really a woman droid, should it censored?

Surely it was something stupidas stupid as
when we watch Miss Indonesia beauty pageant 2016. When they wore kemben (Indonesian
traditional clothes that wear just as high as womans breast), andit was
CENSORED!!! I WANT TO SAY, IT WAS VERY VERY STUPID DECISION!!! Hey!!! Kemben
is traditional clothe, ok??? And it was the way you wear kemben. Why should you
censor it? Do you think it was something wrong with wearing kemben? And if
you think it was wrong to wear kemben, should we erase it from Indonesian
culture?

In the broadcasting regulation, it was clearly
stated that scenes that can be censored if contains pornography content.
Besides pornography, there are many things that can be censored, such as
violence, drugs, etc. The question is, does the breast of a robot contain
pornography??? The worse question is, if the finalists of Miss Indonesian
beauty pageant 2016 got censored because they wore kemben, does kemben
contain pornography? It was too bad if because of unclearly culture, our own
traditional culture considered as an inappropriate culture.

Censor is one of many things that can be done
to avoid criminal activity. But, we cannot do this randomly and carelessly. We
must use it wisely. We cannot generalize something. If someone killed by a
knife, should we say that a knife is a tool to kill? What about a chef that
using knife to cook?

Think wisely before you do something.
