is, in my opinion, an idiotic mentality and horrifically irresponsible, because it's *part of the problem* and directly feeds back into rape culture.

someone just a bit ago, who's opinion was "Well, it's fiction, so it's not hurting anyone." As one might imagine, I took great issue with this, as it DOES, in fact, hurt people. A lot of which you outlined in your review. And honestly, I see it all the time. "It's fiction, so who cares?" -

Very well written. And honestly, amazing timing, as I was just talking to my wife around an hour ago about how these things really grind my gears. 1) I've known/read too many writers who want to use SA as a cheap, emotional gut-punch, who then also eroticize/glorify SA/SV. My wife was talking to -

I used to tell a joke about Orpheus and Eurydice, but looking back, it was a terrible idea.

Tragic movies are often my favorite. Especially if they feature really complex characters. So much so that, when I go to show my wife or daughter a movie, they always look at me suspiciously and say "It's going to make me cry, isn't it? -_- "

Hey man, as an enjoyer of content, that stuff doesn't really matter. I mean, I'm sure they help. And maybe you could build up to it, eventually. But I've seen some bomb ass content that was super minimal tech.

Having come back to read the whole thread, now that I'm more awake, I think dealing with MaeĂ°yn has been good for you. ;) Less decorum, more cleaving.

I feel really stupid for asking this, but why would kink be problematic? If it's between to consenting adults, I don't see what the big deal is. And I mean, really, I've also known quite a few people who have worked through their trauma through kink. So doubly good.

I love the beauty of Le Guin's language—sometimes sparse, sometimes lush—and the way it lends a grounded mythic quality to her stories. I love her growth and evolution over time, her anarchist feminism, her oft-overlooked humor, and her clear-eyed assessment of human weaknesses and strengths.

...I'd love to see every one of these assholes personal phones and computers. And see how many of them have queer or trans porn in their browser histories.
Like sorry we can sit here and be loud about our prefs and you're still living a lie because you hate yourself so much. Like...FFS.

Imo it's not about protecting women. It's about you not being able to exploit them yourselves through the usual channels. If we can market ourselves without the industry? You can't prey on us that way.
ALSO, I think it's a bid to cut off queer people from work. Because some bs about an agenda. BUT-

I was done before it even started but Day One seeing “trans men aren’t oppressed” discourse and Day Two “the FBI talking like irreversible damage” and “A gay man being murdered in broad daylight” and I am extremely super duper done.
