When a woman wants to read a fictional story with relatable characters and emotional context who are also attracted to each other and have sex in about 30% of the scenes it's seen as a bit of naughty fun, but when a man wants to jerk off for 3 minutes to a close-up clip of an over-saturated oil-coated faceless asshole getting pounded by a faceless cock, and maybe go for a bonus scene of the girl turning red and gagging from being facefucked, suddenly he's a "pervert"

It is, but it's also pretty undeniably perverted. Lots of women and men both get off to it. Lots of erotica is perverted too, of course. Nothing wrong with being kinky!

I just think it's silly that the OP tries to pretend as though the typical erotica is the same sort of thing as the typical porn. Anyone who has consumed both can verify they're vastly different. And I think it's especially infuriating that the OP tries to make women out as hypocritical about this when, in my experience, plenty of women like visual porn too, and I've never personally known a woman irl who hates on visual porn but also reads erotica. Seems like a totally imaginary caricature as far as I'm concerned. Primo gender war bait.

May men and women unite to be horny and kinky and unashamed of it together!

op is definitely some low effort rage-bait content, agreed

[–] Gathorall@lemmy.world 2 points 6 months ago

It is sexual but I would not use the term perverted, it's half a step removed from sinful and I don't stand for that kind of thing. To be sexual isn't wrong or unnatural.

Isn’t the issue the exploitation of sex workers, mostly women? Like if you’ve found ethical porn, by all means wack your shit to it. I just think the things people are able to explore with writing, or hell even animation if the artists aren’t exploited, are much more varied and interesting without exploiting actors. Like I’ve found a few queer porn projects that are like owned by the actors and stuff. Basically porn coops, which is fucking awesome.

Well trough that lens it is perverted to enjoy most video games.

[–] Arkhive@piefed.blahaj.zone 3 points 6 months ago (1 children)

I wouldn’t call it perverted because I think that word has been stigmatized and weaponized to shame people, but I do in fact shop for video games based on which studios seem to treat their workers the fairest.

[–] Gathorall@lemmy.world 1 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago) (1 children)

My point is that if you want to shame people because of exploitation you should shame most video game players just like the viewers of exploitative porn. Anything else is just an excuse to be a regressive prude.

[–] Arkhive@piefed.blahaj.zone 3 points 6 months ago

Okay sure, there’s no ethical consumption under capitalism. So yeah, feel shame for consuming all media, ethical or not. /s

Is that the broad statement you want me to say to avoid being picked apart because it’s “technically correct” which is the only type of correct I need to be to “win” this would be discussion turned argument?

Killer “gotcha” moment bud 🤣

If someone buys a game they know exploits workers, or is destroying the world by participating in the AI bubble, and feels shame for doing it, that’s between them and their conscience. Shame is an incredible motivator, particularly for social and political issues. There’s a reason it gets shouted at protests and at political figures. All I said was shaming people for being interested in sexually explicit content is bad. I did not say all shame is bad.

I could go on, but OH! Would you look at that. It’s block o’clock! Lovely chatting with you while it lasted.

this outdated gender weirdness makes me feel uncomfortable tbh

[–] Test_Tickles@lemmy.world -4 points 6 months ago

It's a gross kind of weirdness is it? It's like some kind of really sad masturbation ritual. Like they can't get an erection unless they are angry enough and their little private fetishes just aren't enough anymore, so they are trying to get people to argue just enough that they can finally whip one out.

Where do you goon?

At the library.

[–] Wren@lemmy.today 7 points 6 months ago

It's only because monster erotica porn can't match the realism of my imagination... yet.
