Makes me sick. Only roaches would come up with this. Japanese made simplifications as well but it makes more sense.
Alexander Jackson
the only problem with it is they did it in a way that makes no sense like this image shows.
and some of the "simplyifing" maeks no difference.
like the one for love.

They should have gone all the way and banned the scribbles altogether like Mao wanted
Charles Watson
Most Japanese simplification are moderate and very few. There are some I don't like like 広仏与図 竜

I guess we should just go back to oracle bone script.

The argument in the OP is silly. Writing systems are forged by arbitrariness - it doesn't really matter if the association is between a word and a simple or compound character, as long as there is some association.
That said I think SC was a bad move. The only advantage a logographic system has to phonemic ones (abjad, alphabet, etc.) is longevity of the spelling, and yet they trashed it away not for phonemic purposes, but for... a few strokes?

stroke order is fucking retarded and a lot of pictograms don't make sense anyway
Anthony Bell
>A cloud that ... doesn't cause
woah
