Fun Fact: In 2014, Tuberville started a charity for veterans. But it turns out it was basically just a scam. The vast majority of donations went to hosting golf tournaments so Tuberville could network for personal gain. He also ran 3 Ponzi schemes. But sure, Furries are the real danger. Right.

A lot is better than 40 years ago. But a lot is worse than 10 years ago, which may be why we have so much nostalgia. (And some things were better 40 years ago - kids had more freedom, for instance.)

Yes, this is 100% about censorship in general, and the current anti-sexual weirdness that’s going on. But a paragraph near the end of the article is especially telling… ASMR is primarily created by women. Women doing anything will always be perceived by some as inherently sexual (excerpt in comms)

Everything is classifiable as pornographic. Never doubt this. Bluesky, a website run by non-religious people, thinks that a post about AI that links to Wikipedia is porn. Your work documents, your TV shows, your political views--everything--is porn to someone out there.
An image of a Bluesky post by ‪@matthew.flux.community‬ which as been classified as "Adult content" by Bluesky

The post contains an image of a painting of "Pygmalion Adoring His Statue," by Jean Raoux, 1717. A topless female character is shown within the painting.

The post reads as follows:

I finally thought of the label to describe people who have deluded themselves that disembodied chatbots will become real minds: They are Pygmalion People. 

That has a ring to it, don't you think? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pygmali...

It is currently illegal for porn sites to allow users in the UK to view their content without verifying they are over 18. Anyone wanting to circumvent this has to go to the trouble of typing ‘porn’ into Google and getting about halfway down the first page to find a website that DGAF about the law.

Hard to express just how utterly divorced the political rhetoric around porn is from the reality. I've worked in the industry for more than 20 years. I see porn all day long. I have never once seen necrophilia or bestiality on an adult site. But that's what's being used to push antiporn laws.
The Department of Justice told Irish Country Living that: "the proposed offences will apply to pornographic material that is extreme or violent and contains: depictions of violence causing serious harm to a person and depictions of bestiality or necrophilia."
