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 Of course its not allowed for kids to sell sex anywhere as far as i know.

@bonifartius As far as adults go, people do all kinds of stupid shit for living, from playing video games for sport to making videos about painting fingernails or buying shoes. I don't see streaming sex as particularly evil and more senseless or harmful than many other legal occupations and activities.
What if they started using some kind of peertube-like decentralized service for that, should it be also legislated against?
