    But I was assured by entitled assholes that going down for a few days would be the absolute end of the community and it would never bounce back… I was assured it was extremely irresponsible bordering on criminal negligence for a hobby forum to not have at least three global points of presence each staffed with 24/7 on-call engineers.

    It’s a complicated question to answer. Consent can’t be given under duress, and the rate of abuse in polygamous marriages is astoundingly high. If there was some magical way that the state could verify that everyone is consenting with a true option to say no without their life being ruined, that would be great. However having the state decide who can marry would go really poorly at some point. As a result, I think we’re left with the western status quo where we throw the baby out with the bath water and ban the whole thing. It’s kinda like how some people can be responsible handgun owners but others are murderers and the potential downsides are great enough that nobody gets the privilege. Same for selling cocaine.
