Im laughing so hard I'm genuinely crying.
My followers know I hate talking about politics and current events, and generally refuse to do so, but this is important.
A bill has been introduced in the US that would make all pornography a federal crime. Owning it. Creating it. Distributing it.
Under this law, fanart of nude characters would be a federal crime.
Under this law, depictions of homosexuality or simply being transgender, would be considered pornography and a federal crime.
This bill is not going to pass.
However, the reason for this bill is to continue to push the "overton window". The reason for this bill is to make banning pornography seem more and more normal to everyone until they can actually do that.
And remember, they consider depictions of gay characters and transgenders characters "pornography" in any context, including platonic.
They have been working on this for a decade now and it has been working.
If you are one of the people in fandom who thinks that "nasty" porn on AO3 should be banned because it's "icky" or "immoral", then this mental scam is working on you.
Censorship is never about protecting people.
Censorship is always about control.
Do not let the rising moral panic affect your mind and make you weak to propaganda that lets others control you and control what you watch and read.
Do not fall for the scam.
When they say they are going to ban "pornography" it means they're going to ban anything they don't like by calling it "pornography" and they don't like you!!
You can despise NSFW content all you want, but please understand that there's really bad consequences if the ban becomes legal.
20 years ago, I was a moderator on a LOTR forum that included fanfic, fanart, and roleplaying. It banned all LBGTQ characters, content, and discussion because they were not "family friendly."
No hand-holding or kisses between characters of the same gender in fanart or fic. That was "sexually explicit," while it was perfectly fine to write shippy Aragorn/Arwen stuff or to roleplay a pair of Dwarves eloping. (But not horse girls of Rohan). There was a forum function that let characters be forum-married, but NOT if the players or characters identified as the same gender. (Nonbinary? Genderfluid? What's that? Never heard of it.) Not a whisper of discussion of Legolas/Gimli or Sam/Frodo or any Silmarillion ship.
I pushed back hard in the admins' private forum, saying that there were gay teenagers. I said members like me resented the fact that our very existence was not deemed "family friendly. " We were part of the community, too. That the double standard of what was called "sexually explicit" was ridiculous.
My fellow admins honestly were progressive folks and sympathized, and a few were good friends, but they said they just couldn't take the legal risk. There were still anti-gay laws on the books in many states, and it was a US-hosted site.
Since our forums allowed teens age 13 and up to participate, we had to stick to what was acceptable in mainstream US society and not push boundaries. In the name of inclusivity, we had to make sure we followed standards that would allow all teens to be able to participate in Tolkien lore discussions and fandom, since that was the site's purpose. We couldn't afford to be slapped by a lawsuit or have authorities sent after us by outraged parents.
Never mind that the vast majority of our 50,000+ members were, much like Tumblr, grown-ass adults. (No swearing, either)
This was one of the biggest LOTR websites during the heyday of the Jackson films.
Imagine NO GAY CONTENT ALLOWED WHATSOEVER AND QUEER FOLK CAN'T BE OUT IN PUBLIC in, say, the Marvel fandom when Winter Soldier came out.
Livejournal was one of the few places that allowed it, and it was constantly under siege by "concerned" groups getting communities wiped out by the dozens. Including RL survivor support groups of various kinds of abuse, because they mentioned forbidden topics.
That was the environment under which AO3 was founded 2 years later. A place where we could archive our stuff for the audience it served, tag it with what it was, and readers could use tags to make their own decisions about what content they wanted to read or not, instead of having others decide for them.
But as my fellow admins said, online censorship reflected the world we lived in, and vice versa.
LBGTQ+ = indecent = inappropriate to be out in public. We'd be attacked for holding hands, because think of the children.
It It still is that way for trans people in many places. Evangelicals ban porn (which they themselves probably watch), and then they expand the definition of porn to include... people. It's already happened in some states. In others, laws were never taken off the books.
it may be from the 1800s, but by golly, they'll dig it up.
So um. You know that 5calls app/site? Might want to call reps this week and remind them you're paying attention to their bullshit. (you can call at night and leave a message if you don't want to talk to a human; staff generally just tally calls FOR and AGAINST specific issues)
i think janitor should be the highest paying job in a society
im not kidding im not kidding have you ever been inside a public bathroom
i like working at plant store. sometimes you ring up someone and there's a slug on their plant and so you're like "Oh haha you've got a friend there let me get that for you" and you put the slug on your hand for safekeeping but then its really busy and you dont have time to take the slug outside before the next customer in line so you just have a slug chilling on your hand for 15 minutes. really makes you feel at peace with nature. also it means sometimes i get to say my favorite line which is "would you like this free slug with your purchase"
@holyknuckled you get it. lterally what are we here on earth for if not to occasionally impose gastropods upon unsuspecting customers. this story is delightful
@holyknuckled like that?
oh? my god???
yeah, Exactly like that
forever grateful i was simply too lazy to let the make up industrial complex get its hooks in me. I was just like im not doing all of that. im doing none of that in fact
I still don't know my purpose on this planet but I do love reading fanfiction.
vashwood redraw!!! yeah baby!!!!

I think if indiana jones' adoring students ever went on an Adventure(tm) with him it would be really funny if that was the turn off. like, a routine dig he was leading for the school goes awry and he has to get all cocky gunslinger ladies man hero mode and the students are like. hey what the fuck. his shirt gets ripped up revealing he's jacked and that one girl is immediately wiping the 'I love you' make up off her eyes. an entire room filled with artifacts gets destroyed while they make an escape and the kids are all horrified. "professor jones. how many people have you killed" "well, do you count the damn nazis as people-" "UNFORTUNATELY YES. LEGALLY YES. ARE ALL ARCHEOLOGISTS MURDERERS." he's flirting with some random woman on the dig and all the students are like what the hell. you can't talk like that. where did the droning and stutter go. why are you not flustered. she inevitably swoons into his arms or something and they're like "oh my God eww he's so sweaty. ma'am literally what's wrong with you. blink twice if you need help". they're so betrayed to find out he never even NEEDED glasses, he was wearing nonprescription lenses in class. Indy's lowkey hurt he's like I thought you guys thought I was cool :( and they're like 'yeah when you're in a bowtie and telling us about sumarian gardening techniques. WHY do you have a whip right now you freak'
Several students choose to write their final papers about the ethical imperatives of NAGPRA
I don’t think we’re rick rolling each other enough anymore. 1. it CANNOT die out 2. this under saturated market is perfect for unsuspecting victims who’ve been lulled into a false sense of security. be the person you hate. bring back the dastardly link
someone actually studied the falling Rick Roll rate for their Ph.D dissertation recently and published the paper
okay but this made me wonder if there was actually any academic literature on rickrolling and YES THERE IS this is a paper about rickrolling WITHIN academic literature. As in, studies that attempt to rickroll the people reading them. Best part is no one is going to believe me and click that link even though it’s 100% true.
My friend's book is mentioned in this paper!!
There is no earthy way of convincing anyone that the rickroll study link is real. But for what it's worth. It is
Shock and awe. It's a real study.
