feminism had good ideas which got invalidated by other societal and technical developments (like many other movements).

take "let's protect sex workers!" for example. probably a great idea, protecting the weak is what a society is about. only now it's a flood of barely legals (of any gender..) who should really do different things than shoving big objects into every orifice of their body, streaming live to a smartphone in your vicinity, for validation and tOkEnZ.
instead of saying "hey, great that you explore your sexuality in this way!11" we should put a fucking stop to this stuff. i'm 100% sure it would be better for everyone. it's not about "exploring sexuality" or "rights of sex workers" _at all_. the hippies did explore their sexuality and often noticed that it's probably not about quantity in the end. the difference was that there was nothing to gain but the experience (maybe it's an interesting parallel that todays drugs of choice are downers/uppers, not psychedelics). now we have silicon valley big tech making money off the insecurities of young people. if anything it is anti-emancipatory to encourage the selling out of ones sexuality on livestream.

@bonifartius so you would punish those who do so?

@retroartdt

assuming you mean the live streamers:

no i wouldn't punish anyone who livestreams shoving things into openings, why would punish the victim?

i know that it's not a popular take, but i think that's what the overwhelming majority of the "amateurs" are. we got to the point that they think it's more lucrative for them to sell a livestream of themselves than doing something which doesn't cater to primal insticts. all while making big tech richer. this says a lot about the world we live in.

you know, it wouldn't be that hard to just make a law to outlaw these ultra-monetized amateur pr0n platforms and have any company running a video platform implementing strict rules and age verifications.

kids shouldn't send videos of themselves to anywhere. out of the same reasoning there are laws why they don't get to watch certain movies or buy booze.

@bonifartius @retroartdt some of these "victims" do make very large amounts of money. one woman bought her own house. i don't know how representative that is

@velartrill @bonifartius @retroartdt

When you think about how dystopian it is that the most basic necessities like housing are seen as winning the lottery or something.

Fuck the USA and everyone that profitted in a government rigged economy. Everyone that was involved with creating these real estate bubbles that kept Millennials from buying houses should be gutted and thrown in a ditch with their entire family. I mean this in total seriousness, these people belong in the ground.
