the whole point of experiencing art is getting to know the shape of others through the friction between their difference and mine. the paradox of art is, sure, in the end mostly all we find is a way to reflect on ourselves, but we can't get there without chasing after the grasping dreams of another!

everything gets pushed down a constructed slope. what's erotic gets reduced to being 'just' porn, what's porn gets reduced to being 'just' for gratification, what's for gratification gets reduced to being 'not art.'

Consciously or not, far too many people have uncritically absorbed the fascist idea that porn is intrinsically degenerate—that it is a mindless, lesser form of creation by virtue of its focus on sexuality, necessarily an intellectually worthless part of the human experience.

perhaps one day this planet will come to reckon with how 5,000 years of so-called "human civilization" is built on the rape and murder of countless nameless women. when all institutions are fraternities, all fraternities need to be burned down. all "brotherhoods" annihilated for people to be free.

I do wish he'd included my answers to these two questions, they're really important, especially the last one!
What's the biggest barrier that remains and how can we overcome it?
The largest barrier we face is not unique to the games industry, it's baked into capitalism. The incredible power imbalance between capitalists and workers means they can make decisions that impact us in ways that are incredibly difficult and time consuming to respond to. Rockstar executives can decide to fire 34 union organizers in a moment, and it takes months if not years to fight. Companies can do redundancy after redundancy and there is little the workers can do to stop that from happening in those moments until we build up enough collective power to apply enough pressure against company owners and executives.

There's no single answer as to how we overcome the power imbalance. We try and experiment with many different things to solve and address issues. We build relationships and trust and work together to take action. We improve things bit by bit and slowly, ever so slowly we build our power together. Overcoming capitalism is a generational project and one that may not complete in our lifetime, but it's worth working towards now so those who see it come to fruition will reap the benefits. Unions are an integral part in building up the knowledge, skill, and confidence to change the world on a local to worldwide scale.

Anything you'd like to add? Anything people are NOT talking about enough?
The amount of care work that people in unions do is absolutely astounding. Imagine someone who has just been severely mistreated or laid off and has their world turned upside down. The thing they need most is someone to be there for them, listen to them, and help them figure out what their options are. When mistreatment happens on the scale of an entire industry, it takes an overwhelming amount of care work to respond to each incident. We need to build up our individual and collective caring abilities so that we can get through it instead of being constantly dysregulated and overwhelmed.

“Shut that cunt mouth of yours before I ram my sword through it!” she screams, and sends him into a retreat that would make an Elf jealous.

She skulks back to her chambers, having only managed to hunt bread and soon-cold soup; finds it by touch when the light makes her eyes ache and dumps herself back in what must be bed, if she ignores the squeaking.

There—crumbs on her chin and still barely able to parse her own existence—Florrie dares to consider that she might have drunk too much.

Chapter 1! 6k words. This is if "I Spit On Your Grave" was about a Hound, sleazy grindhound mechsplo. This is a survivor turned sadist's fucked up idea of a power fantasy. This is a revenge story for every dog that wanted to bite back. archiveofourown.org/works/92163196
Cover of The Only Good Handler, by Sylvia Meretrix and The Epoch System, listing the triggers of Rape, Gore, Snuff, Mechsploitation, Chains, Bloodplay, Gunplay, Force Orgasms, Rebellious Hound, Violence, Plural Main Character, and Dead Handlers. A God was dead, and Dirge had killed Her. 
Dirge was standing over this God's corpse right now. <nononononononono> Dirge felt like… she? Yes. Dirge thought she was a woman, or at least woman-adjacent. Her body was certainly feminine, wearing a grey tank top that hugged her chest and curves, khakis, and boots. (Okay wait I’m dressed like an imperial soldier. Am I undercover?) 
Dirge ignored the voices in her head and looked down at Her lifeless body. 
"Nietzsche would have approved.” 
[ew]
Dirge stopped, feeling the words as they left her lips. They were greasy. Wrong. She ran her tongue over her mouth like she had tasted something unpleasant. This God… Handler. Handler…. Vesper. 
Handler Vesper was still wearing that fucking immaculate black trench coat She wore everywhere, those fucking gloves that She always made a show of putting on, like She desperately needed to display Her power. 
Her cap was laying three feet away in a puddle of her own blood. 
{So uh… you gonna eat that?}
And those boots. Those fucking boots. Gods Dirge hated how her fucking eyes lingered on those boots. 
<WHAT DID yOU DO?>
How the hell did that voice manage to somehow understate a second-person pronoun while shouting? 
Dirge pushed the voices aside and sat down next to Vespers lifeless body. "That's the kind of pathetic shit you would have made me say, making me reference a fucking Shattered Earth philosopher like some Academy twat high on her own smug. Had to show your dog was the best in show, right?”

If you do union casework even for a little bit, you learn very quickly that laws do not stop people in power from doing illegal things. The only way to limit the worst of what they are willing to do is to build up enough worker power that they fear it more than they want to do illegal stuff.

it was only a few years ago that allies widely acknowledged that 'biological sex' was a dogwhistle from anti-trans people. it was a _slur._ and now it's legal language so it's okay to use.

if you are any kind of creative or artist or writer you *have* to understand sex workers and porn/erotica artists/authors as being members of the same class as us. to the extent society recognizes a difference between "legitimate" art and porn, it's only as a tenuous, convenient, temporary fiction.
