someone got really mad at me for being pro-pornography so i'd like to be annoying for a little longer:

-there are enormous problems with exploitation in the porn industry that harm and endanger the people within it, and that harm is carried out mostly against women and minorities

-this is Bad

-however the last century of passing laws against pornography hasn't actually helped any of those problems, and what sex workers tend to advocate for is the legitimization of their labor, so that they can then access the same protections and regulations that people in other industries can access

-for instance football players, miners, roofers, and warehouse workers are also exploited and endangered by their professions, have to work long hours, and can end up traumatized and disabled by unregulated and unsafe working conditions. these people are used up and thrown away by powerful bosses they can't individually challenge.

-however because these industries are not de facto illegal to participate in, when these people form unions and demand better working conditions, they can at least fight for their rights.

-sex workers, who engage in heavily stigmatized work that's also often illegal, have little recourse to demand better treatment.

-even if you don't like porn, and especially if you don't like porn, if you care about the women who are exploited in pornography, you need to advocate for the legality of pornography.

-the more illegal the porn industry is, the less safe and fair it is, and people will still be working in it, no matter how illegal it is.

-again: the porn industry should be regulated like any other industry and subject to laws guaranteeing fair compensation for labor, safe working conditions, and legal resources for workers suffering exploitation and abuse.

-once it is legal to do sex work, then women can bring charges against the men who have broken their contracts and abused them.

-and that is why i push back against posts saying that pornography is evil. it is an entertainment product, made by people, to meet an ongoing demand. criminalizing the consumption and production of it may slightly lessen the demand at the incredible cost of endangering everyone involved. and i think that is what's evil.

You! Fanfiction writer!

I hear you wanna remove a canon female love interest from a M/F ship for the purpose of your fanfiction, eh?

Well before you turn her into a raging bitch for absolutely no reason, WHY NOT:

“He just wasn’t into her like that but they’re still friends”

“They tried dating and decided it wasn’t what they wanted”

“She didn’t actually know him that well and after some time she realized she wasn’t actually that interested”

“He had a habit that was a total deal-breaker, no hard feelings though”

“One of them got a really good job offer somewhere else that they couldn’t turn down and have since moved on”

“Turns out she’s gay”

“Turns out HE’s gay”

“One of them wanted kids and one didn’t”

“They had different long-term goals”

“They tried dating and realized they saw each other more as family and it was super weird and uncomfortable, like kissing your sister”

“Neither one of them was in it for the long haul, it was more of a friends-with-benefits deal”

“Dating one another was what made them realize they’re BOTH gay”

“They weren’t compatible in bed”

“One of them was more career-driven than the other”

“By the time one of them confessed the other had already started a relationship with someone else and they’re doing really well”

“One of them has a beloved pet that the other is deathly allergic to so the distance kinda broke things down”

“They wound up working for the same company with a zero fraternization policy”

“One of them is the other’s boss so dating would be unethical”

“One of them is focusing on themselves right now”

“He’s actually kind of a loser”

“They couldn’t communicate their needs”

“He wasn’t actually all that attractive after all”

“You misunderstand, they are each other’s wingman”

”You misunderstand, they are each other’s beard”

“You misunderstand, they faked the relationship so they could marry for citizenship/tax purposes/political reasons”

”They ARE together but they’re both into the third party”

”They ARE together but they’re cool with each other seeing other people”

”They’ve been faking the relationship to evade an excess rental expense on their shared apartment”

”They’re not in a romantic/sexual relationship, they just got that queerplatonic swag”

“Their parents got married and the step-siblings thing gave them the ick”

“You thought they were flirting? Dude that was ironic. What, you don’t flirt with your friends?”

RICKORTY NATION HEAR ME OUT. I HAVE BEEN THINKING ABOUT THIS EVER SINCE I WATCHED THE NEW EP.

instead of the beths making rick old, they make him their age, since he didnt have his implants as a child and will thus be easier to beat up and/or murder.

little rick is way more of a coward than his adult self, so he runs away and hides in the house while the beths puppyguard the garage to prevent him from getting at the aging machine. he patches up his wounds as best he can, but with no implants and a WAY altered state of mind, he stands no chance in a fight.

when the rest of the smiths get home from earth world (without crashing like a meteorite this time), morty finds little rick bloody and cowering under the dining table.

Can I be so 100% honest rn every time I see someone like freaking out scandalized by sexual elements in horror I'm kind of just sitting here like Yeah dude I love combining the erotic and grotesque it's my favorite pastime. What do you mean "the writer's barely disguised fetish" are we supposed to be disguising it? I think the throat-fuck guy is perfect for directing the new alien movie. Get with it

I don’t understand how there’s NSFW content and blogs about traumatized characters, like Bucky Barnes. He was sexually abused while under Hydra’s control. And whether that abuse is canon or not, the implications are there. And they hurt. I’ve been doing a lot of research and here’s what I got.

In episode 3 from The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, there's a horrific scene in Madripoor. Bucky is forced to "play the role" of the Winter Soldier again—Zemo tells Selby, “He will do anything you want.” She touches Bucky’s chest and says, “I always wanted to meet the Winter Soldier.”

It has disturbing subtext—her body language, the way Zemo uses him like an object, the absence of consent. It’s not sexual in the explicit sense, but it feels like it. It reads as a man being dehumanized, offered, and passed around like property.

Zemo’s line implies more than just violence. It suggests Bucky had no service under Hydra, no ability to say no, not just in battle but in any scenario. Many believe Hydra used Bucky in any way they pleased.

Hydra didn’t just brainwash him. They tortured him. Repeatedly wiped his memory. Ripped away his identity. And in doing that, they reduced him to a thing—a tool. And tools don’t get consent. Tools don’t get boundaries. Tools don’t get spared.

That’s why it hurts so much to see NSFW content that plays with this trauma lightly or turns it into fetish and for self entertainment. Because for many of us, this interpretation is not about fantasy—it’s about grief. About recognizing what this character endured and what that says about real-world survivors.

So when people make NSFW content about him without considering this context—it feels like repeating what Hydra did. It feels like ignoring his pain all over again.

Thank you and have a good day.

most frustrating thing in the world is when you really like a character who sucks, and you know they suck, so you’re chill with people who dislike or even hate them because… well they suck, you get it. but then a whole bunch of people hate them for things that just aren’t actually accurate or canon to the character and just treat these inaccurate and awful character traits as a given, so then you feel like you gotta be this scumbag’s defense attorney. free my man, he did so much awful shit but he didn’t do that
