The Tinfoil Hat Crowd

I see edgy jokes about the Inside Out emotions like "haha they'd have to endure all your grossest fetishes" or "lol what if they were stuck in a serial killer" but both films repeatedly remind the audience that these beings *are* you and vice versa, sharing all your inclinations. No matter the depraved atrocities befouling your putrid soul I'm afraid it is established canon that those little Pixar Muppet people held a hilarious meeting about it and decided by popular vote that it was an exciting and productive direction to steer your wretched existence. Fool.

Obviously they can't do it in a kids movie but from a context agnostic "what would interest me most" perspective it around be Riley hits puberty and the new emotion is like, Arousal/Desire, and it's a reflection on that awkward first coming of age period where you don't understand your desires. Maybe the other emotions reject it at first but come to understand that it is a deeply integral part of the new Riley. I haven't seen the sequel but it sounds like they kinda went that direction with the complex emotions concept but went for mental illness more than puberty more generally

Tesla themed trans girl got that Cybertuck (her girlbulge is brushed stainless steel and consists of four polygons intersecting at sharp 70 degree angles)

It gets rusty when wet. Which is unfortunately often because she has a humiliation kink

The world exists in such a baffling state of simultaneous sex-aversion and sex-hegemony. Every social platform on the internet is trying to banish sex workers to the shadow realm but I can't post a tweet without at least two bots replying P U S S Y I N B I O. People are self-censoring sex to seggs and $3× but every other ad you see is still filled with half-naked women. Rightwingers want queer people arrested for so much as existing in the same postal code as a child and are also drumming up a moral panic about how teenage boys aren't getting laid enough. I feel like I'm losing my mind.

I still vividly remember sitting at a bus stop downtown scrolling through endless Tumblr discourse about kink at Pride and whether leather daddies were appropriate. To my left, there was a giant ad that took up the whole side of the bus stop advertising a bag collection for some high-end brand. It was a black and white shot of a model who was completely nude, sitting on a chair, her legs spread wide open while she clutched a bag in front of her crotch and positioned her arms in just the right way to cover her nipples.

Nobody even batted an eye. No discourse was made about this. Life just went on.

I'm genuinely crying right now

Seen a few posts going around over the last few months calling complaints about people advertising their onlyfans or cam sites on dating apps whorephobic, and I think this misses the point.

I mean, some of the specific complaints have involved more thoroughgoing attacks on sex work, and I have no intention of defending those. But it also has to be said that, given that sex work is real work, a corollary is that advertising for sex work is real advertising. It seems no less reasonable to be annoyed at someone promoting their onlyfans on a site for finding romantic and sexual partners than it is to be annoyed at someone promoting a local club or trying to sell you bitcoin. At the end of the day, it's still advertising a business in a venue that's not supposed to be for that.

Huh, I don't think I've seen people advertising OnlyFans on dating apps. What I've seen is full-service sex work, which honestly is probably closer to "a version of what you were looking for" but also not actually what I was looking for and therefore an annoying ad.

But the one that really annoys people the people who are advertising full-service sex work and don't make it clear in their profiles and then after you match you flirt for a bit and then they explain their pricing scheme.

I have had the experience of being on a dating platform and putting out feelers for intimate connections and then I've had someone come into my DMs and say that they're down but I have to pay.

I respect that sex workers have to hustle, and fully endorse them to use their own general platforms to do that (dating apps are not this), but from my end it's just as annoying and honestly slightly insulting/rude as if I had put out a request like "hey anybody want to go hang out and watch a movie with me" and then somebody had jumped into my messages and been like "okay yeah so I'm a professional movie-accompanier at my personal MovieFriend startup brand and I can go hang out with you at the movies for £100".

Actually, not only is it cold calling, it feels a little like taking advantage too when people are reaching out for a human connection and you try to exploit that for money.

At least in my case the person told me straight up, but it's still not what I was looking for and I still don't appreciate it! I get excited when somebody contacts me on platforms like that! I don't want to be sold at in an unsolicited manner in the hope that I'm lonely enough to shell out instead of waiting on a personal connection! If I wanted the former I would reach out directly, and I understand there may not be good places to get one's name out but. Honestly that really isn't my problem to shoulder as much as it may suck, you feel

We DESPERATELY need a lesbian version of Grindr. I want to be able to have "daddy wants to take you to the woodshed" levels of unhinged sexting with random dykes older than me.

"Pornify" is a radfem red flag by the way. Please double check people who use it and if they are unaware of that maybe advise them not to as it's referrent to a radfem framing of porn as causing societal degeneration.

Saw a big post going around on twitter using the word and, lo and behold, OP was a semi-crypto radfem, but was being reposted by sex and trans positive accounts, so. Yeah, don't tolerate that shit.

Being categorically anti-porn is, of course, also a radfem red flag. (Plus more broadly a right wing red flag).

It's been a few weeks now, and I think I can safely say that one of my most iconic web discourse moments is now when somebody sent an ask saying "she's not gonna fuck you" to somebody speaking in defence of a controversial post I made, and then finding out that the person replying was my irl boyfriend

Sorry anon but. I very much am gonna fuck them, if past trends are anything to go by

'i think tumblr is better without the porn' who the fuck are you? who the fuck are you to buy my home and tell me it's better off without my friends and loved ones making art and sharing our bodies with each other? i think the world would be better off without you!

Eric is my boyfriend lmfao
