it would be cool if websites let you be an adult on them. the advertisers and payment processors need everything to be Family Friendly though and their definitions of family and friendly are absolutely fucked. but since they're in charge of the Internet now, no one is allowed to be an adult. tiktokers say things like "unalive" and "seggs" because they know death and sex are too adult for online. online is for idiot babies only now because they're easier to market to

nickyflowers replies:
oh im sorry you're a trans adult? super ban. you are super banned for life. you have upset Visa's feelings. Mastercard is throwing up in the corner. how could you do this to Google Ads?

Fediverse and DNS sinkholes FTW. Any way I can avoid becoming someone's money is nice.

[–] [email protected] 44 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Yup.

If I can't say basic words and facts like, this woman was raped, this man died, etc.

I just don't use the website in any meaningful way.

When I was a kid in Yahoo chat rooms... I saw things man.

These kids don't know.

Well the 4chan kids know but these normal kids don't know.

The US religious fundamentalists have managed to impose their fucked up values on the world. Calling it "family values" was always a lie.

these people cannot be a part of society. put them on an island with no minerals and let them live in log cabins and fuck their children and do patriarchy all day.

or maybe you think that's evil and unkind to the children, and they should just be killed and the children freed. whatever.

Relatively easy fix though. Get away from advertiser supported platforms and use community supported ones.

I've been saying for years that the advertiser-friendly neo-puritanicalism that was infecting the left was a trojan horse for conservatism, and then here we are.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 2 days ago (3 children)

How was it infecting the left?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 days ago

kink@pride discourse was the first time I saw that.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 2 days ago (5 children)

Insistence on decorum, general anti-sex sentiments, curtailing of language to adhere to advertiser-friendly standards, to name a few.

C'mon, you don't have to look very hard to find puritanical, anti-sex 'leftists'

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Yes advertisers like chase and Walmart and visa are truly the most left you can be.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I'm not calling those who craft and insist on this kind of language left, I am calling the people who accept and use it supposedly part of the left (in vague terms).

You are making my point. My point is that conservativism is charlatans and we becomes their stooges when we play according to their terms, including on the field of language.

funnily enough on tiktok you can say "fuckass" but you cant say someone's intelligence is akin to that of a toaster or that someone is stupid. i have also seen the n word multiple times

Can we say braindead? Because that's braindead.

The adult stuff goes deeper.

There are furries.

Deeper than that, there are bronies and non-bronie MLP (FIM) enthusiasts.

And below that, there are furries who like animal genitalia.

And at this point, a few miles down into the abyss, there are lolis.

ETA What should be under lolis but isn't is CECOT. That is, is appears family friendly enough for VISA, also very real and sponsored and used by the US.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 days ago

How is that related to the post?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 days ago

What's cecot? I don't want to look it up...

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 days ago

You just described 4chan.
