scribble of a bat furry wearing a large tshirt that reads "i <3 niche furryporn!!! handcrafted adult artwork is a valid way of exploring the broad spectrum of sexual expression in a controlled environmemt all while supporting indie artists"
u cant go out dressed like that man
This is what every fucking discourse feels like now.
Sorry you aren't allowed to draw dogs anymore because I'm allergic to cats and seeing dogs makes me think about cats because dogs don't like cats also don't draw cats
Part of the reason we are seeing the tech dorks say they are over consumer focused tech and focusing on enterprise is because they don't know what normal humans want or how they use computers, or to put it more bluntly: bsky.app/profile/vorn...
It annoys me that I have to waste precious brainpower worrying over politicians banning freedom of expression or whatever because it makes it very hard to focus on bigger things when the very stuff you comfort yourself with is under constant threat of being ripped away from you. Fun fun stuff. Fuck.
see democracy would be a lot more fun if the choices werent "people who want healthcare, nice living standards, and to treat people fairly." vs "Guy who really just wants to say slurs and lynch black people legally."
I FEEL LIKE A LOT OF TIME IS BEING WASTED BY POLITICIANS CHASING BAD POLICY THAT HARMS INNOCENT PEOPLE WHEN IT COULD BE MORE FOCUSED ON TACKLING SHIT LIKE THE AMOC POSSIBLY COLLAPSING BY THE END OF THE CENTURY, I DUNNO
It'd be nice if the topics I'd have to worry about could *just* be things like climate, or AI, discrimination, so forth.
Instead I'm now on a daily look-out to see if drawing monsters getting freaky with it is gonna be outlawed or if I'll lose my right to privacy out of the blue or some shit 🙃
It's really neat seeing established SFW artists opening up to making more indulgent stuff, but god it's so tiring seeing the influx of followers being shocked an appalled that they would even CONSIDER "joining the dark side"
The survey is back up!! Maybe they increased capacity. Have at it, share around!
“Portrayals of sex work in mainstream media such as Euphoria rely on reductive and harmful stereotypes, which often shape public perception of sex workers in ways that justify harmful policy."
I do think tech companies are underestimating the amount of
- new account fatigue
- new app fatigue
- useless upgrade fatigue
- terms of service fatigue
I was wondering when these type of bills would start showing up along side the porn bans.
Yes, this is exactly what you think it is.
They want to arrest women for having bodies. That's it.
And need I remind you what already happens to women who are viewed as property by the state?
Sorry to keep talking about this but another thing the “62 million men” thing reinforces is the idea that looking at porn instantly turns average men into rapists, which is something a lot of the gender essentialist fatalists believe. It’s all social conservatism dressed up in woke clothing
This is essentially bringing women's rights in Ohio back to the 1800s. Call your fucking legislators, Ohioans.
We don't talk enough about how social stigma harms sex workers.
Policy is made around you, but never for you.
You're often part of a demographic that is chronically unheard (women, lgtbq+, disabled, in poverty) but you're not allowed to speak
And we wonder why sex workers live on the margins.
the House of Representatives wants to pass a bill for operating system age verification. Not to access porn, not to access the internet, to literally use a computer
This isn't about children, this isn't about anti-terrorism, this is about control
IL HB 5511 #AgeVerification has drawn criticism from civil rights groups and technology experts like Stephen Ragan of @aclu.org #Illinois argued that mandating age gates “raises serious constitutional questions” while “the root of the harms go unaddressed.” #Privacy #PrivacyFirst #DigitalFreedom

They are going to RUSH this to try passing it before May 31st. PLEASE YELL AT REPS NOW: elections.il.gov/ElectionOper...
also the fact that CNN (now controlled by a pro-Trump right wing billionaire) is promoting this narrative at the same time as they are trying to make us all log in to our computers with our government IDs (they want to make age verification mandatory for OS)... there is an ulterior motive
the weirdest part about shit like this is that the actual facts are awful enough that you don't need to embellish like this, like 1000 is also really bad!
I have a weird thing (that I think is probably related to my autism, tbh) when it comes to seeing misinformation that I have an intense urge to correct it. Even dumb stuff. Pointless stuff. I can't really help it. Lately, I've been finding more and more public resistance to this. People double down.
snopesdotcom • 5d & Threads CNN reported the findings of a months-long investigation into a website and chat group teaching men how to drug and sexually assault their wives and partners. However, posts inaccurately claimed that the news outlet said 62 million men "attended" what they called the "online rape academy."
• 5d • & Golly gee thanks, Snopes! That was definitely the most important part of the whole situation, wow where would we be without you???? Maybe focus on the women being drugged and raped and NOT on how some people mispoke about views vs visitors because they were blinded by rage and disgust. Way to give asshats an excuse to keep minimizing this awful shit 0220 1 з > 1
15d Phew. It was only 20000 videos with 50000 or less views each. Faith in humanity restored. eg 13 2 Show replies d Why is this news now??? We heard about this in Canada a year ago! We saw the husband on trial and get sentenced. We saw at least another 100 men in France and the EU being arrested. PLEASE ASK YOUR NEWS AGENCIES TO CATCH UP TO THE REST OF THE WORLD!!!! ↓ 1 Show replies 0 4d You're splitting hairs with this?? Really?? '43 3 Show replies Yeah.. But 20,000+ videos under eyeckeck amd passed out is what needs to be focused on. These are potentially very real crimes and victims just out there on the open web in a site under searchable tabs that failed age verification this year. 9 ▶
We don't give a fuck about "uh ackshully is was 62 million views." WE FUCKING KNOW! It's a RAPE ACADEMY. Fuck your parsing. Q4 Show replies : 5d SNOPES! No! 0 7 " > 5d Stoppppppppppppp Show replies .ai 5dl The issue isn't the number of users. 1000 or 62m, the issue is that There's a grape academy Committed by men againat their partners, men who presumably were trusted by their partners. Those are the inportant facts, not the number of men. Any number above zero is unacceptable. Anyone mad about the number being misunderstood, mis-reported has failed to comprehend what is really important in this
Like look at this reply section to a Snopes post correcting the misread of the piece. It's just people putting their fingers in their ears and screaming that facts don't matter. It's insane. www.snopes.com/fact-check/c...
First saw this story over on Threads, and people really, really, really did not like anyone correcting misinformation about their misreading of the story. We seem to be moving to some sort of post-reality where people just want fake stories that reinforce their beliefs.
thinking abt this bc there is currently a controversy on tiktok where people are misreading and spreading a statistic from this article, saying that 62 million men were either in or interested in a telegram chat about drugging and raping their female partners when really it was like 1000 people max
I've seen so many people who I love and respect on here regurgitating that 62 million number and it is driving me up a wall.
Trust me on this: You do not want to contribute heat to a gender essentialist anti-porn panic. The actual, real story is horrifying. Lying does it a disservice.
