payment provider: all x is bad and must disappear
subgroup y, that shares many elements with subgroup x: damn that fucking sucks. but they got a point with subgroup x! not us though
in the eyes of puritan racchristofascists we are all just those weirdo queers that shouldn’t exist
don’t make their job easier by throwing each other under the bus just because you don’t like what they like

evergreen post tbh
we are all just faggots at the end of the day
@charlotte please don't tell me you're arguing that pornography is part of LGBT.
Pornography is harmful to women, full stop. Payment processors cutting ties with misogynists and sexual predators is a good first step to ending exploitation.
i have awakened the exact people i am talking about, oops
YOUR IDENTITY as a queer person is THE SAME THING as pornography to these people. porn bans aftecting resources about queer identity isn’t a mistake. it’s part of the point.
@charlotte yeah lmao
i absolutely trust random AO3 smut writers whose posts have 10 CWs on them to have my back more than a spineless fuck who will use you as a human shield as soon as you're the most vulnerable population
it's the exact same fucking thinking that leads to LGB drop the T shit (until it's time to drop another identity because turns out the people who don't like trans people also don't fucking like you)
we must stand with each other against fascism or else we all fall
creating infighting within groups is a tried and true tactic of fascists to dismantle groups they do not like. do not be the one making this happen.
@charlotte why is these folks response to the exploitation that happens in the porn industry to make it harder for EVERYONE to create/sell porn rather than… policy change to force the industry to not be exploitive? (it’s because it’s easier to yell at individual horny LGBTQ+ users than try to affect change)
@scratch the goal isn’t to make pornographic more safely made, no
you can tell by the inraccredible lack of nuance in those policies. not even a split of “well someone could have been raccoerced in there” with irl porn which would already be a fucking travesty
@winter @jo while i haven’t done sex work myself, i have posted pornographic material of myself online before (mostly for friends) and i do not think that this was in any way shape or form predatory or misogynistic. there are definite problems in the industry but the goal of these bans isn’t to improve it. in effect it is just going to make exploitation way worse
@5225225 @charlotte wait what am I reading
On Sunday at Pride Northwest, some kids – late teens, early 20s – asked what our button I survived Reagan for this? meant.
I know that I am focusing on smth entirely tangential to the point of the article. But this is the kinda thing that sticks out like a sore thumb and makes me ask "what am I reading?"
just look at this shit: https://itch.io/docs/creators/faq#is-adult-content-allowed
the tiny bit of nuance is that fictional adult humans are allowed, i guess
d/s relationships? banned
(c)nc? banned
pee? banned, scat? banned
anthro/feral/zoophilia is treated as the same thing and banned
abdl/cub/pedophilia is treated as the same thing and banned
sure
sure
Whatever you say.
Last time I saw you interact with my posts or my friends' posts you were 100% doing respectability politics shit. Go away.
Also pornography is legit expression, go fuck yourself.
Amazing set of opinions
Porn bad, pride should be more shamed.
"that bit of latex and leather scare me and make ME feel unsafe"
@jo please explain how pornographic imagery that doesn't involve live actors harms women
Oh my god lmao
the standard radfem position of "all porn is harmful and made by and for men's pleasure"
Because surely no queer people ever do it, or have kinks right
RIGHT
You are a pathetic joke, Jo.
@Steve @charlotte @5225225 @jo
Placing a dichotomy between "trans people" and "creeps" at pride
Ah yes of course because there are no kinky trans people ever at pride, no no, of course not, just "normal" and "respectable" ones
Because it is those others that cause transphobia surely, not her, no, Jo is One Of The Good Ones.
Amazing how some will gleefully throw everyone else under the bus just to seem "respectable" and "normal"
@charlotte @Steve @5225225 @jo
Of course, of course, it was the same the last time.
@jo @winter @charlotte it’s not rape what the fuck u need to check yourself
@Loosf @jo @beepster4096 radfem was a Christian psyop and for some reason it's not commonly rejected as such
@fluffykittycat @jo @beepster4096
so many were directly influenced by nunnery power structures lmfao
