George Carlin said it best. "Selling is legal, fucking is legal, why isn't selling fucking legal?"

Wise words as always from Carlin. Just let people live, jeez

It is actually legal in many countries.

One of the more uncomfortable parts of the anti-sex movement is how much of it is an unholy union of sex-negative feminists and social conservatives. It's distressing how far people can get just throwing around accusations of trafficking and child exploitation.

Meanwhile the Catholic Church is still a thing...

I recently witnessed a porn (discussion) thread on r/feminism get absolutely nuked, so I went to check the undelete archive and all the deleted comments were basically queer people, nsfw artists, and others defending porn. The mods only left the comments that were critical of porn and basically wiped everything else. It really caught me off guard because I didn't expect such a prominent feminist subreddit to be run by swerfs.

if I remember correctly that sub is run by a misogynist man, along with /women.

I could also talk about the sex-negativism to social conservatism pipeline for pretty long.

Most right-wing zoomers I know got pulled in partly thanks to that, although it's never just a simple solution (and many that aren't negativists also get sucked in unfortunately).

Trafficking is a thing a massive horrible thing, but like prohibition led to mobsters with alcohol sales, prohibition of sex trade makes trafficking easier

(I am not going to say legalisation makes it go away as even sex positive countries it is still.a problem, but it can help to b regulated and allow whistle blowing

It's sad to see what these women go through. They constantly have to create new accounts on TikTok, Instagram, etc b/c of the banning brigades. I feel even worse for the ones who barely do anything and get banned simply because they happen to have big boobs or something. Something is truly wrong with the creeps who keep doing this

waste of time to be constantly shocked by the moderation decisions of big social media platforms. they should just go on pixelfed instead.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Pixelfed will get nuked next, mark my words

There's a big puritan agenda out there and it's coming for any and all sex

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

what do you mean will get nuked?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Purged of nsfw content or forced to shut down.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

they can always spin up their own instance if they are not happy about how someone is administering theirs.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

And quickly get defederated?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Very pro sex, but jfc enough with the OF promotion accounts on instagram. Do nothing but block them and instagram just keeps shovelling them in my direction.

And 90% of them are probably hypocrites who also follow those workers' content to get themselves off.
