Happy lesbian visibility week 💗

Of course, the actual point of the article is to manufacture consent for online censorship and surveillance of sex workers, people who consume porn, and really just everyone who uses the internet.

The anti sex work crowd seems to be singularly incapable of even considering the possibility that sometimes the premise of a porno is actually adults playing pretend.

There is some actual abuse material on Motherless, I'm not denying that. I don't go there for that reason. But most of the 60k+ visits that the CNN article cites are people looking at regular porn, & most of the visitors looking at material there the journalists find objectionable are doing kink.

> looking at a CNN article
> ask the journalists if it's a shadowy rape cabal or kink
> they don't understand
> pull out illustrated diagram explaining what is shadowy rape cabal and what is kink
> they laugh and say "it's a shadowy cabal sir"
> read article
> it's kink

Good 🧵 about using real issues to push a moral panic to create harmful legislation. Particularly odious to use real victims of assault to covertly attack LGBTQIA people and sex workers

You're welcome! I've looked at uhhh several niche porn subreddits in my day. 🫡

Yes

Time for some Melee! Choose your character!

The colour work here is so gorgeous!

Huh, ok, thanks!

In response to some bullshit going around:

Can we please fucking destigmatize men being nice to / caring about / engaging with kids? These are normal adult mammal instincts; what's fucked up is that we beat them out of people based on gender and/or assume they're inherently predatory.

Eh, there's no reason to use a bipedal robot for military/policing applications though. I'm also worried about those kinds of applications of robotics, but I don't think this is the one we need to worry about. Treads and wheels are so much more practical.

The cancers that come from tobacco products tend to kill people after they've already had kids, if they're going to, so that's not really how it works.

By what metric is nicotine anywhere near as addictive as heroin?

No, I'm with Jay on this one.

Platner used a pro gun talking point and was way off. I wonder how David Hogg is on board here.

Ohhhh yeah. Same.

There are spaces where men talk about strategies for assaulting and abusing women, but they're not really hidden. They're Andrew Tate's social media. They're fraternities. They're bars.

There are also bad actors in vanilla spaces. There are some really horrible examples of people being assaulted in productions by some of the most mainstream porn companies. We need sex workers to be protected and have resources when they're abused, not for kink spaces to be monitored or outlawed.

Exposing a global ‘online rape academy’ that is teaching men how to abuse women and evade detection CNN exposes an online network of men encouraging each other to drug and assault their partners, and swap tips on how to get away with it.

If you’ve seen panic on social media about “62 million men in an online rape academy” it’s misinformation about this article, but I don’t blame people for misunderstanding and freaking out because it’s obvious that is the aim of the presentation of the article. Just look at the image below.

Or at least *mostly* that.

So the "rape academy" thing is just SWERF alarmism, yeah?

He literally comes from a video where he counts to a big number, I think 100,000?

It's kind of hard to explain his schtick, because the word "schtick" implies more substance than he's ever shown he has. He's more like the concept of currency inhabiting a human body that forgot to die.

Did something terrible happen to make MrBeast like this, or am I just projecting the idea of a tragic backstory onto him because I don't want to believe someone could be so hollow without one?

It's not like he has a $100 billion mission to achieve. It's nothing. It's all nothing. Money for the sake of money.

What does MrBeast even want a $100 billion company for? He doesn't have a $100 billion product.

idk, I'm not able to play it because of my PTSD. I really wish I could though.
