Wouldn’t the ideal be self hosted content made by the people hosting it? Obviously there’s no mechanical means to block people from uploading content that they don’t make, but those kinds of ethical questions and control of access can be handled by federation networks.
Decentralizing these things could lead to a better way for sex workers to work safely (SESTA/FOSTA closed up a lot of safer avenues for sex work in the US) There’s a lot of rules for trust that you can build into these systems, things like basic encryption with private and public keys.
Someone who didn’t want their content online could take it down easily. They could easily gate it - like, think about where most of the profit the actresses and actors videos go to now? If you are watching stuff for free on a website, it’s the website getting ad revenue and maybe the company. Do they get royalties? Workers should own the means of their reproduction.
Gay for pay shit is often fucked up too. There you go. I think it’s actually harmful as shit that a lot of queer boys grow up with no access to actual sex ed and learn how to do things from porn.
What proportion is there of straight porn to gay porn?
Porn does not equal masturbation. And talking about masturbation in a beginning of the year ice breaker activity is not appropriate anyway.
I don’t understand the conflation here. I had said nothing about masturbation, which is healthy and fine. It’s problematic however, that 15 year olds are exposed to hard core BDSM shit with no explanation that while yes, some women do like it if you hit or choke them, those are not part and parcel of normal sex and should be carefully negotiated.
There’s been a huge uptick in kids choking each other, because they see it in porn. Choking is something that a lot of actual BDSM dungeons ban because it is that unsafe.
I think one of the things with “no ethical consumption under capitalism” is that no one “needs” real people porn. Erotica and drawn images are amply available, there’s no need for another human being to be potentially harmed.
Maybe when someone posts that “blacked” meme, of Piper Perri surrounded by five men, point out 1) that the image is racist as shit, and 2) that Piper Perri’s boyfriend killed her baby, and that comments joking about this are common on her videos and discussions about her?
My first year teaching, we played “hangman” and the kids came up with their own words (I was stupid to allow this). One of them chose “Pornhub.” Maybe talking about jerking it should be something that isn’t so normalized that kids feel comfortable doing that?
You could also report porn that is suspicious in provenance? Ask your bros, if they bring up a porn star what they think about this issues?
Advocating for social change in the way we talk about these things isn’t “virtue signaling.”
How would you express it civilly? Why don’t you reword the point in whatever way you feel?
I’m just constantly amazed at how sensitive straight men get about their porn consumption. Can’t call “rape,” “rape” - but then that goes all the way back to Debbie Does Dallas huh?
I posted again, marked as NSFW. That mod comment says nothing about taking it down because of its NSFW status, but let’s see if that was the actual reason lol
It is not good that a woman with brain damage is being pressured to make porn, and that her videos are posted on mainstream porn sites, including lemmy instances.
I’ve noticed a pattern that lemmings tend to get very defensive when exploitation in the porn industry is brought up. I’m not sure how someone could jerk off to literal rape on rape in this case, but I guess that’s an “unpopular opinion.”
Stitt has been doing his damnedest to fuck with McGirt. There’s regular social media meltdowns over indigenous hunting and fishing rights.
The state is corrupt to its core - the FBI was literally created because of a massive and high level conspiracy to bomb Osage natives and take their land rights, which the Oklahoma government could not be trusted to investigate. There are lots of small towns where the law is whatever the guy who owns the car dealership says.
I guess he just declared for lieutenant governor, not the main governor. I follow him a bit because he’s unfortunately attracted the people who are angry about our shitshow of a child welfare system.
Drummond will probably win, which is goddamn frustrating because he presents himself as a “moderate” when he’s just as raving of a lunatic as the rest of them. (Refusing to press charges on the cop who beat the shit out of that Vietnamese man, not doing shit about Walters…)
