People be like “leaking nudes is wrong” then watch stolen porn via tube sites
Ppl say like “you can’t really consent to sex work because the money makes it coercion” then break the conditions of consent by not paying and justifying it by their own rhetoric wherein sex workers consent is meaningless and therefore can’t be violated so they’ve done nothing wrong :3 for instance:
how can people even think like that. like actually, how can that person think that and be comfortable saying it on the internet?
It’s because of the extent to which sex workers are dehumanized.
What you have to understand is that anti-sex-worker hatred is a specific thing. It goes beyond just “women’s sexuality is stigmatized” - which should be evident by the fact that, among other things, male sex workers also deal with an immense degree of stigma in Western society. People hate sex workers to an extent that they just do not hate non-sex-worker women (all other things being equal). And so people find justifications to objectify, rape, assault, and murder us at much higher rates than they would women who have never done sex work.
There are social ideas that sex workers basically aren’t human, that we aren’t “real women” (whatever that means), that we’re unrapeable because the concept of consent doesn’t apply to us, that we’re predators (especially to children), that our existence amounts to a social contagion that people need to be protected from. People really, actually believe these things. A lot of people believe these things. It’s fairly common (and, overall, pretty socially acceptable) to hate us this intensely.
The really twisted thing about the tweet in this picture is that this already happens. Sex traffickers generally target sex workers first, because they know we will be seen as collateral damage in the fight to protect “normal women.”
How would one even know which porn is stolen and which isnt?
If the video links to an account by the performer or studio, it’s probably a sample. If it’s some rando account or “theme” account, or if the video has signatures labels blocked or overwritten, or the openings cut, its definitely stolen
Paying for your porn increases the likelihood that it’s not stolen or coerced dramatically. Buying from private sellers (performers) is best but buying from studios is good too. The biggest issue is tube sites whose business model relies on stolen content - MindGeek actually owns Pornhub and several major studios, leaking their own content because it enables them to make ad revenue and puts downward pressure on sex workers wages
On this day, 4 June 1976 an 18 year-old Sikh schoolboy, Gurdip Singh Chaggarwas, was fatally stabbed in a racist attack outside the Dominion theatre in Southall, London. When one passerby asked a police officer who had been killed, he responded “just an Asian”. His murder triggered riots in the area, and prompted local Asian and black youths to form the Southall Youth Movement, which took the fight to racists in the streets.

CW:this post may contain images of elders who have died.
It’s only 1 week until people will no longer be legally permitted to climb Uluru.
Shame that it took legal changes to get white Australians to comply with the wishes and decades of requests of the Yankunytjatjara, Yanangu and Pitjanjatjara people for whom the monolith is sacred and a spiritual ancestor.
The pins and climbing chains are to be removed after climbing closes October 28 2019.
I don’t know the identities of the photograph subjects, except that they are elders of the Pitjanjatjara and Yankunytjatjara people.

It’s about god damn time!
unfortunately in the last few weeks uluru has been drowned in white trash ‘tourists’ rushing to climb before they’re banned, to the point of people getting knocked off and injured -_-
If you dare come at me about banning straws, I will throw you into the sun cannon. I’m disabled, I’m crippled, I need disposable plastic straws, and all those pricey ridiculous alternatives aren’t working as well. Plastic straws were invented for the disabled.
Way to shit all over a vital access need because you think straws are worse than corporate greed.
We all care about the turtles, the seals, the oceans, obviously. Notice how the easiest thing to yell about was something that would barely affect anything but appealed heavily to emotional discourse.
The disabled community is huge, and it can be joined by anyone. Most of those As Seen On TV products were invented for us. Society still mocks us and ignores us, and often outright harms us in multiple ways.
Communicate better. Listen better. But stop putting us out in the cold because you are inconvenienced by our simplest needs.
Straws aren’t killing the planet, its animals, or people. They’re a microscopic fraction of an iota of a percentage of the problem. You want to do something? Ban plastic fishing nets. Anything else is just a hollow feel-good gesture at the expense of real living disabled people.
i have an environmental degree and i’ve been saying this since this straw ‘debate’ started: its all a tactic by those in power to distract people’s attention from bigger issues such as fishing waste. don’t fall for it. and don’t be a dick to disabled people who need straws to make their lives easier.
Laverne Cox attends the 71st Emmy Awards in Los Angeles, California (September 22, 2019)
The handbag was specially designed by Cox. It featured the LGBTQ rainbow on one side with lettering that reads “Oct 8, Title VII, Supreme Court.” On the other side, the flag of the transgender community is featured, with the hashtag #TRANSISBEAUTIFUL. The reference to the Supreme Court case draws awareness to a looming trial: on October 8, the Supreme Court will begin hearings to decide if anti-LGBTQ employment discrimination qualifies as sex discrimination. The case will also assess whether LGBTQ workers are protected by the Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, an act that “prohibits employment discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex and national origin.” (vogue)
Wow. JVN spoke his truth about being abused by an older boy at his church, filling his emotional void with junk food and then drugs (meth and coke) and sex, selling his body to make money cuz he was too embarrassed to ask his mom for help, flunking out of college, relapsing after rehab twice, and finding out at 25 that he was HIV positive. His journey’s been harrowing and yet he seems like such a radiant and positive person. He’s even braver than any of us realized.
Even better, the comments to this Twitter post were an absolute FIRESTORM of mostly dudes explaining to her that dials can’t only have 2 positions (not true) and that it wasn’t a very good piece (not true) that she was being disrespectful to her teacher (don’t care) and that it was a sign of her stupidity/rabid feminism/intellectual laziness/misandry/etc. that she couldn’t see any “middle ground.”
It became, in its way, a performance piece. I was absolutely mesmerised, even as I wished I could cock-punch people through the internet.
“Dials have more than one settimg” is the most hilarious response to this piece, because the implication of that statement is “just be a scootch more implicit in your own dehumanization. Not ALL the way. But like… a little more.”
It really is pretty fucked up that the Spider-Man movies idolize a multi-billionaire industrialist and “former” weapons manufacturer while all its villains are working class people joining together to strike back at the bourgeois assholes who ruined their lives
the working class villains also just to happen to be murderers and are willing to kill children… so whats your point op
Hm you are right that’s definitely not part and parcel of the messaging in these films that I am criticizing in this exact post
“kind of fucked up that the allies in the spiderman universe are often billionaires and the villains are often working class”
“yeah but the villains are villains”
“…yes”
Did… did we forget that Tony, while still being a billionaire, genuinely suffered for his mistakes? And that Adrian Toomes is portrayed in Homecoming as yes a villain but a victim of the system? Plus I’d like to add Norman fucking Osborn
