Just think about it. Bans/restrictions on something as broad and subjective as "porn" are a fascist government's wet dream because they can declare anything they don't like to be porn. We cannot allow them to have that kind of power.
BoringKate@boringkate.com · 3h agoYou know porn is a social construct, right? Like the distinction between pornographic videos and non pornographic videos is arbitrary.
I'll choose the entirety of abstract art. People get so weird when they're confronted by art challenging the meaning of art and expression. I love it so much.

Probably Animal Farm, nearly neck-and-neck with 1984. Lolita will probably beat them out if you've been in certain corners of academia or art scenes.

In the Western World? Probably the Mona Lisa. Of course, it has time on its side, too. Just the number of bad think pieces about what her smile means, or even if she *is* smiling, is just ridiculous. Then there's if she's attractive or not, who she might be, why is the painting so small, etc.

The west wing ruined real democratic politics for the last 20 years

The Harry Potter industrial complex. Lots of people, with a hard on for abusive academia, who had never done criticism before, spread out over the release years, plus movies, plus JKR is a trash TERF revisiting. Like holy shit the fucking podcasts you all.

Everyone but me memory-holed the sheer volume of dumb shit written about Girls. I’m jealous of them

Reactionary backlash because the Indian tech support guy can afford a house in the burbs while the white perpetual fuck up who got kicked out of the army for a heroin addiction cannot, the war of the unemployable on the employed continues
the 1918 flu pandemic 🤝 covid mass disabling event leading to fascists arguing for purges
M a r c u s 🏳️🌈🇧🇧@marcusjdl.bsky.social · 7h agoIt would be nice if we had a party in power that wasn’t constantly indulging in exactly the same “disabled people cost too much” rhetoric and policy as in nazi Germany - and that’s not an exaggeration
Chiitan loves transgender people 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️ Even a plain statement like this now brings slander and insults, but I think a society where people can live happily as themselves matters more than silence, so I will keep saying it until the account is gone. love everyone🤍
someone on a podcast i was listening to said "This country HAAATES women more than any other minority. Not outright oppresses, but HAAATESSS them." and.. yeah!
strongest fascist art criticism ragebait in history vs strongest fascist art criticism ragebait of today

Added Newsom to my muted words list. He just said he’s not running. We can move on from him now.
Jesse Farrar has just enough charisma to be very cool and will immediately use that to piss you off in the most caught-off-guard way imaginable. Truly one of my favorite people I’ve ever come across.
The gods didn’t break Medusa They banished her and turned her into a monster, but they didn’t break her They had to send someone to kill her I don’t think of Medusa as feminine rage I think of Medusa as a symbol of feminine strength
The Sportsman's Club in Charlottetown PEI booked the punk band Rougaroux, which has several trans members. The bartender immediately barred them from using the women's restroom, even taping up a transphobic sign. The band packed up their gear and left. Google and Yelp review your hearts out, folks.
Vancouver band cancels Charlottetown show after venue denied transgender member washroom access | CBC News
A Vancouver punk band that was set to play in Charlottetown this past weekend cancelled its show after a transgender band member was stopped from using the women's washroom at the venue.

The context of *this* wave of visceral rage at rapists is that in the past decade we've seen them take complete control of the government, turn the entire economy into their ponzi scheme, gain trillions of dollars of exploited wealth. We've seen an opposition party abjectly fail at stopping them

>>> “I think if you keep betting on ‘Nothing happens,’ you’re only wrong once, and then it’s like, ‘Well, great. I’m glad I was wrong,” Farrar said. “But until then, I’ve racked up a million victories on ‘Bad things don’t happen to powerful people.’ That’s how the world is organized, you know.”
UncleofJamiroquai@jessefarrar.com · yesterdayIt seems quaint now that we do all our banking and race science there, but, nevertheless, it's true: at one time, people mostly wrote jokes on Twitter. 10 years ago, I wrote one about an old asshole and it kinda changed my life. Not his, though. www.cnn.com/2026/10/01/u...
Repro lobbyists such as Emily’s List and even some PP executives are also to blame. They’ve endorsed candidates for years who never supported on-the-ground efforts to stop abortion clinics from closing at exponential rates. They’ve betrayed numerous women and since Dobbs have essentially cashed out.
Stéphanie says… 🏴☠️🦈🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️@stephaniejane.bsky.social · 19h agoTrans people have been saying this for YEARS. But, oh no, it’s not until they discover that punching down and beating trans people to a pulp is not having the desired effect and, if anything, it’s leading to things that could affect them and their loved ones. Honestly, this makes me want to scream
Aaron Rodericks the man can block whoever he likes, but Aaron Rodericks the head of T&S for a pretty well-funded startup (please shut the fuck up about how much of a little guy you are) should probably not prevent large swathes of users from seeing posts that are official site policy
