This is where the Overton window has shifted to. We’re now debating whether modern capital punishment is too humane for porn producers.
One could argue that showing cock&ball torture on a livestream is also a form of porn.
Putting aside the psychotic torture fantasies of these unhinged weirdos, could I please give perspective?
I’m anti-pornography. I’m also a former sex worker. I don’t think that no one should consume porn, but you need to realize how horrific the porn industry truly is. It’s why I think people should consume amateur stuff, OF, and independent makers. Big name companies are abusive, full-stop. There are, of course, exceptions with smaller stuff, too, but if you knew what these women and girls AND many boys and men go through for the sake of porn, I hope you would be horrified and disgusted.
This is not a moralistic, prude, “Christian-viewpoint”-thing. Far from it! All I’m saying is that if most of y’all can be furious & boycott N×stlé for their human rights abuse, y’all should also look into ethical porn consumption.
Yep
That’s why I do what I do. I hope that people can find something they like, for free, without the exploitation
My fiancée and I want to make educational stuff for people too
Some troll had already said that we must be ugly because we don’t want to charge
Hey can you put a CW on this please? Really didn’t want to read that unprepared :/
Tumbler people need to touch grass apparently. That’s the most 4chan thing I ever read from there
These people are evil
Folks.
If you ever catch yourself describing how you want to torture someone to death, I want you to stop and take inventory of your priorities.
Look. I am not a pacifist. Some motherfuckers need to be removed from positions of power by any means necessary, up to and including violence.
That being said, should we not focus on restorative justice and rehabilitation? Why create unnecessary suffering in the process? The argument that things like the death penalty act as a deterrent doesn’t seem to be borne out in the evidence. What good is served by torturing someone, even if they’re the nastiest son of a bitch in existence?
It is important to make sure we don’t let killing for sport seep into our ideology. Using violence against people is not something we should take pleasure in, let alone fantasize about. History has given us plenty of examples to draw from here; once you make a policy out of sadism, the group of people you use violence against only grows.
Also, porn is fine in moderation (like everything else) and can be made totally consensually, you terminally online freaks.
Something Vimes had learned as a young guard drifted up from memory. If you have to look along the shaft of an arrow from the wrong end, if a man has you entirely at his mercy, then hope like hell that man is an evil man. Because the evil like power, power over people, and they want to see you in fear. They want you to know you’re going to die. So they’ll talk. They’ll gloat.
They’ll watch you squirm. They’ll put off the moment of murder like another man will put off a good cigar.
So hope like hell your captor is an evil man. A good man will kill you with hardly a word.

Watching porn is nearly as much fun as making porn. I have no fucking clue what these folks are ranting about.
I assume the 4chan users have had to find a new base of operations, preferably with developers who actually know how to one do highly complex tasks such as install updates.
there are many valid reasons to dislike porn and the industry around it, why are all anti-porn communities so fucking weird?
between this and nofap im not sure who i want to hang around with the least honestly (and anyways these spaces are almost always filled with transphobes)
Because it’s Christian extremism or the same but laundered through fake feminism
For real - the industry is horrific. I don’t feel comfortable with the real stuff; I don’t like not knowing if that person was treated fairly or paid what they were promised or consented to everything that happened. Zero puritanical aspect to it, zero issue with smut and drawn images.
It’s just frustrating how the weirdos are the ones most critical of the industry. The world would be better if all porn was stuff made by eager participants who were happy and paid well.
Younger consumers seem to very disproportionately favor small studios and individual creators with actors who at least pretend to be enjoying themselves, so I think things are likely getting better, if maybe slowly.
I am not a gambling man. but I would bet everything I own, these two are into some freaky shit.
Weird TERF that is into transformers.
well there you go. I have a strong sense for the perverse.
Right… because women don’t consume porn, right? Phew.
They also don’t produce it either apparently.
OnlyFans is just propaganda. Just like Australia, it doesn’t exist.
New Zealand literally doesn’t exist on about half the world maps. It’s like the map-makers get to the bottom right corner and go “ah, that’s good enough”.
Edit: I didn’t realise, but there’s even a Wikipedia page about the phenomenon:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Omission_of_New_Zealand_from_maps
Sometimes, we’re happier with that
Just don’t think that we’re a part of Australia
That’ll get you fucked up
these people can’t figure out why no one sits with them at lunch
Very normal.
what the fuck
nobody could have stopped child me from finding porn. I discovered social engineering the old fashioned way just to acquire consistent internet access, and I did entering without breaking that would get an adult in trouble to access computers with nobody around in more than one place. I taught my parents how to use computers and I protected them from viruses. there was no stopping me.
Yeah, it’s part of the reason I’m so good with IT. My stepmom was the systems engineer, and I had to figure out ways to get around her blocks and hide my tracks.
Strict parents raise sneaky, cautious, and paranoid kids.
Which would make sense that my IT career led me to cyber security. But really she wasn’t strict since I didn’t live with my dad and the only time we ever really interacted was when she helped me upgrade my GPU to play Phantom Menace (still funny I pre-ordered it, but it took months to get it working right), their house just had cable Internet while my mom had dialup until I was a junior in highschool.
My real mom is the reason I’m sneaky and paranoid.
I gave the pimply teenager at the quickymart $5 and he let me buy any magazines I wanted.
ah the 80s…
Having spent too much time on tumblr… I wish I could say this is uncommon. Tumblr moderation also leaves a lot to be desired and even before the last layoff the site has been running on fumes in terms of support.
Tumblr is, sadly, a huge hotbed for anti-sex radfem rhetoric and has absorbed a lot of it into a larger movement built on top of ship wars. In the 2010s, bigger radfem accounts realized they could use tumblr ship culture as a recruitment strategy and it worked unfortunately well. It’s only gone downhill since then, with more and more extreme views taking over as people who aren’t this rabid get harassed or bullied out of these spaces.
There are a shocking amount of supposedly liberal identifying, and even queer identifying, young people on tumblr who are violently anti sex and anti porn for this reason. It’s also very common to get death threats and harassment on tumblr. These views have only been amplified by the culture on tik tok. The paranoia and moral panic around sex and media isn’t really new (every generation seems to have one) but its difficult to work with because they are very empowered by this idea of righteousness when they engage in this kind of behavior, and like other reactionary movements thrive on the attention they get.
Anecdotally, I can tell you these folks have very black and white thinking and a lot of them are projecting HARD. Guaranteed at least one of them runs like, a vore blog where they swear up and down that it’s a “SFW vore blog” and not “one of those gross kinks”.
There are still a lot of parts of tumblr that are fairly nice though. If you’re willing to block early and often, you can find a solid community of people.
Yeah, you’ll be surrounded by magical thinking, anti- intellectualism, or toxic positivity cottage core instead.
The paranoia and moral panic around sex and media isn’t really new (every generation seems to have one)
Yeah, but usually it happens after they have kids
they have no clue what percentage of people are porn consumers, huh?
I mean… Castrating 75% of the population would certainly put a damper on our rapid population growth, which would be good for everything except humans.
Human population growth is already plateaued and in the most developed nations it’s already net negative. in order to sustain break-even (human) population levels, there must be no fewer than 2.1 offspring born, on average, per {gestational reproductive caste specimen}<irrespective of masculine or feminine configuration>.
The human population of South Korea’s last reported birthrate is 0.78.
In japan, 1.26.
In the united states, 1.66.There will be so few able bodied humans extant to perform basic upkeep in 20 years that fundamental infrastructural systems will not JUST be crumbling to dust from sheer neglect as they are now, but actively self-destructing from sustained systemic cascade failure.

Pretty doomerist of you. I’m honestly not concerned about declining populations. Better for the environment, and we’ll figure out the rest through straightforward economics.
Hence, good for everything except humans. And the global population is still rising, though as you said developed countries are responsible for very little of that growth.
oh yeah no i was just agreeing with you on a ‘yes-and’ basis and stuff
the only reason any developed nation is population-positive right now is due to immigration – and now that america is cracking down on that… i wonder if we’ll actually see the population decrease soon.
There’s a reason Trump wants to give medals to women who have multiple kids, dangle a one-off shiny bauble as if that’ll offset the costs of having the kids.
Australia has been giving couples $5k for their first kid for the last couple of decades, hasn’t helped and our birth rate has dropped to 1.50.
