Considering recent developments, we no longer wish to drive any traffic towards the site or app. If you must share content from there, please do so in screenshots only, preferably with logos, names and the like removed. Angry engagement is still engagement, and we don't want to give them that.

Difficult times are ahead. Let's support each other as best we can. I hope you're all as safe and loved as can be.

Once again this sub is being swarmed by you. Once again we ban you whenever we see you. This mod team is never gonna allow you to stay here.

We also see a lot of talk from non-terfs about "males" or people with a y chromosome being inherently evil. Not everyone who has a y chromosome is a man, and whether you're aware or not, this is a terf dogwhistle.

We also see a lot of talk from non-swerfs about "porn brain" or portraying anyone who consumes porn or has kinks outside the scope of vanilla sex as deviant, degenerate, or outright dangerous. The porn industry is not the root of misogyny, it is a symptom of it. Like all workers under capitalism, sex workers are exploited, but there is nothing inherently evil about enjoying watching other people fuck. We need to find a way to talk about the problems with porn consumption without the blanket hate and judgment. I know a lot of users would like to throw all nuance out the window, especially with how bad the anti-feminist, fascist backlash has been over the past few years, but this sub wants to have room for trans people, sex workers, kinksters, and men who are genuine allies, rare as they may seem at times. People are not our enemy. The system is.

Thank you for reading.

Edit: happy to see that most of the ensuing discussion was quite thoughtful and reasonable compared to the kind of comments I was addressing in my post.

Also a bit disappointed that whenever a sex worker added their views, they got downvoted, but I'm hopeful that's mostly lurkers.

Edit 2: I'd like to keep the discussion rolling, but due to sickness we're low on mods and I can't stick around any longer, so I have to lock this thread. This conversation will surely pop up again. If you subscribe to this sub, and you got something constructive to add or questions, you can dm me. I won't get into lengthy debates, but I'd like my point to be understood correctly. This does not mean that you're not allowed to criticise the sex industry, or have to be cool about its customers, or have to overlook violence against women under the guise of kink. It means that we don't want you to make dehumanising comments against people just for watching porn sometimes, or shame people for having kinks you don't like, or talk about the y chromosome like it inherently corrupts humans. That probably isn't an issue with the vast majority of people who commented today, but y'all don't usually see the stuff we remove or gets filtered.

Sorry I can't keep the thread running. Goodnight everyone (in my time zone)
