"porn isn't political!" they cried, as the sex workers, illustrators, and animators who created their favorite wank material were slowly legislated out of existence

The truth is, there are a lot of things that rightfully shouldn't be political, including porn, but they've been made political by people in charge, so we're now having to fight just to enjoy things.
With respect, we’ve been on that train for a bit but there’s next to zero solidarity when it’s ‘weird’ despite all the memes to the contrary. Or if it’s something that isn’t porn but cast *as* porn for political expedience of “Well if we get rid of those weirdoes then we’ll be left alone”
Furries love posting the “Weird Art protects us from corporatization” meme but when it comes to, like, the ‘weird art’ and those who create it getting chainsawed off of Patreon or related sites, it becomes a thought exercise more than “Oh shit people are actually getting hit by this”
And then when FA walked out their little AUP revision (before walking it back a couple weeks later) there was… quite a bit of shrugging and “Oh well! At least it’s not us…”
This is just on my mind ATM because a couple of older posts of mine have been getting attention lately.
I am firmly in the camp of protecting people who make "weird" porn. Not out of "it keeps the corporations away!" but from the perspective that the beast won't stop eating until /everything/...
That's also why protecting trans rights should matter to people who can't even care out of basic human decency.
Conservatives aren't gonna stop at trans people. They're just going to move further in until the rest of us are gone, too. There's no safety in giving them ground.
