Taoism is a philosophy that people have made into a fullblown religion. It's a simple philosophy: There is no evil, because everything is a natural part of life. Taoism is founded upon a renounciation of the teachings of Confucious, who invented virtues and sins after his own whims. Taoism is ethical anarchy.

It seems easy to understand as a concept. The founder of taoism, Lao Tzu, wasn't a holy man. He was a simple librarian who was fed up with working for Confucius. One would think that at least a handful of people would understand what Lao Tzu was saying.

Nope.
Todays taoism is about reading his book, interpreting its phrases, wondering what they mean, and thinking it's all very mystical and wonderous. "Don't be a faggot." is some sort of ultimate wisdom from a grand sage, that people can only hope to get a glimpse of.

This may seem funny enough, but to really understand the bizarre, we have to look at taoism online.
4chan is a pretty taoist forum already where everything that is allowed to be permitted, is permitted.
However, official taoist forums, are not taoist forums. Quite the opposite.
Besides the general forum PC rules that every forum has copied and pasted from eachother, every post also has to be nice, popular and express a politically correct view. These are forums that would permaban Lao Tzu himself for "promoting immorality". In the end everyone has to basically already agree with eachother, which runs contrary to spiritual progress within taoism. With discussing the validity of immoral views banned, the activities are confined to quoting the Tao Te Ching, screwing around, and small-talking: Drivel.
