the thing that bugs me the most about the censoring of the internet to please advertisers is like… tv shows aren’t having less sex and violence in them. movies aren’t having less sex and violence in them. HBO can do eight seasons of graphic murder and nudity and it’s the cultural phenomenon of the decade, but I can’t show a nipple on tumblr or talk about death on tiktok. it’s not that the internet is becoming “safer,” it’s just making these topics a privilege only for very rich people, and putting it behind a paywall for everyone else.

Sorry to mutuals to add to this, but this is frustrating in its accuracy. I have sexual assault as a topic in my personal creative work because I am a survivor; when looking for a host I approached a major creative platform that at the time allowed 18+ and was appalled to discover that a survivor including rape in a fictional setting was not permitted… yet [company] allows the exploitation of survivors by allowing direct explicit discussion of their actual experiences, on top of allowing creators who create content for shows with sexual abuse and assault in them. So it is fine to profit off a survivor’s real life assault (and that is based on assuming someone is in a space of recovery and healing that sharing explicit details isn’t yet maladaptive or if fresh, isn’t a trauma response they will later regret; I know I did.) But fiction by a survivor using the safe distance of fiction to make commentary on how traumatising rape is and how some ethnic minorities experience it at a higher rate and with a different experience? Against TOS.

Screw the double standard. You want to talk normalisation of sexual abuse? Corporations making bank exploiting it but survivors who are creators exploring the impact of trauma authentically? Keep that hidden, that’s ugly so it isn’t allowed.
