Decriminalizing sex work isn't a fix-all. It's not intended to be. What decrim does is protect sex workers from the harms of criminalization specifically. Poverty and violent clients won't disappear because of decrim, and their continued existence doesn't mean decrim fails.
When you tell me there are still young teens getting into sex work in countries like New Zealand that have full decriminalization, that's not an argument that decriminalization is bad! Those teens would be selling sex under the Nordic Model too!
What teens in these circumstances need is typically money, because poverty is the major driving force behind prostitution among youth. In other cases they need information about where to report abuse from their schooling. No legal model around sex work will put an end to poverty or targeted sexual abuse for profit, because this is a much larger issue.
What full decriminalization can do is reduce harm against sex workers whilst we work on ending poverty and patriarchy.
I liked the Folding Ideas Mr Beast video for the most part but something that has always frustrated me is the conversation surrounding artistic merit towards people like Mr Beast is that "Mr Beast is anti-art" as an argument just doesn't hold any water for me because as far as I'm aware, he's never claimed or presented himself as an artist and seems to think it himself first of all as a businessman and entertainer. Personally, I think art is a very loose, abstract concept that can apply to most things that are created, but even if you have a more rigid view of the word, I just don't think Mr Beast markets himself as or intends to be an artist and so criticising his business practices as a YouTuber as being anti-art doesn't really mean anything as a criticism to me because I don't get the sense that's something he cares about, and considering the bulk of other things he has done, I don't think Not Creating Art should be a particularly significant criticism for him either. The most concerning things about Mr Beast is his exploitation of his workers and participants in his videos, his exploitation of his very young and impressionable viewer base, his questionable business ventures that are mired in bad, dangerous practices, and the right-wing slant he seems to have. Even if he was making genuinely interesting and compelling art, these issues would still be far more significant than his output as a creator.
But like, rest of the video was good, because it focused on criticising Mr Beast as an entertainer and as a business, which are the two things Mr Beast as an franchise and as a person, Jimmy Donaldson want to be and has built a career out of. I guess I just tire of the ethics of art when for a lot of people they levey these arguments at, neither them or their audience really care about that so it's more of an exercise in posturing than it is constructive discussions and education.
I like that someone else pointed this out. I agree that MrBeast doesn’t consider what he makes art. But I think the reason a majority of the Youtubers who cover him talk about his “ anti-art” videos is because they themselves consider their videos art. So this means when they cover his videos, they filter through their own lens of considering all YouTube videos art in some form. So the fact MrBeast has an anti-art stance becomes an actual talking point.

Do you ever read the premise of a fanfic and think I should read that and then you don’t and scroll on promising yourself you’re gonna go back and read it and then you don’t and then you forget it’s title so you can’t look it up.
That happened to me and all I remember about the fanfic and its premise was that yang and Ruby’s friends from the Huntsman Academy they went to Beacon stick around and it was so interesting but I forget its name and I can’t find it
The classmate who sits next to me is buying the Nick Fuentes Jeffrey Epstein jacket. My English teacher said she’s fallen down the “ rabbi” hole of conspiracies.
small complaint for today: why wasn’t shishikura the ultimate miko/geki/shrine maiden. him being a yukigassen player came up a grand total of maybe 1 time while him being a miko was extremely relevant to his character and his actual job. Also, when the hell did he have time to be doing competitive snowball fighting. it sounds like he spent most of his days in the hospital or recovering from surgery or sick and bedridden etc. he did not seem to be able to be running around doing sports like at all pretty much
Currently going through the trial four investigation for Tetro and this feels like a trial six revealed the mastermind/discover the secret of the school trial. With all the tapes and previous location of the killing game.
Matthias deserve to have his murder investigation be about him and not shoehorned exposition. although this was always probably bound to happen considering the tetra blue students had all the information basically given to them in two big chunks . unlike, the pink students who knew very little and what they knew was spread out through each chapter.
hi, I’m not sure if these have been shared yet but if they aren’t I would like to share various amounts of screenshots which show that Von is a groomer.
If these aren’t well aware on tumblr, please reblog!
[Door opens. YONEKURA YUME, a teenager in a surgical mask with choppy black hair, enters the room. She’s pale like she’s never seen the sun, picking at the white fabric of her t-shirt like she’s not used to proper clothes.]
[DR. KUNEYASU]: Thank you for coming in today, Miss Yonekura. I’d just like you to answer a few questions, and you can go back to your room. Is that alright?
[YONEKURA YUME]: You already know everything about me, Seki.
[DR. KUNEYASU]: It’s just for the record.
[YONEKURA YUME]: … Okay.
[DR. KUNEYASU]: Thank you. To begin, please state your name and occupation for the record.
[YONEKURA YUME]: My name is Isono Miki. I’m an idol.
[DR. KUNEYASU]: [Impatient] Miss Yonekura.
[YONEKURA YUME]: Yonekura Yume. I don’t… [clears throat] I’m unemployed.
[DR. KUNEYASU]: There. Any allergies or phobias?
[YONEKURA YUME]: Mm… none that I can think of, no.
[DR. KUNEYASU]: Okay. Would you mind removing your mask for me, Miss Yonekura?
[YONEKURA YUME]: No. I don’t feel like doing that.
[...]
[DR. KUNEYASU]: You know what? Okay. Okay. For your final question, who would you say is most important to you?
[YONEKURA YUME]: Oh. I don’t know.
[DR. KUNEYASU]: Please choose someone.
[YONEKURA YUME]: My sister.
[DR. KUNEYASU]: You know as well as I do that you don’t have a sister.
[YONEKURA YUME]: But we can pretend, can’t we?
[DR. KUNEYASU]: No, we can’t, but I think we’re ending this interview here.
[YONEKURA YUME]: Can’t I ask questions now?
[DR. KUNEYASU]: No, Yu--Miss Yonekura. You cannot.
[YONEKURA YUME]: Oh.
[Recording ends.]

Okazaki Hanano they could never make me form a concrete opinion on you.
Now that we've gotten that out of the way, this AU shows what might have happened if she never left the lab and the experiments never stopped. She's still there. Still trapped. She's certainly not happy, and she hates being stuck here with these people, but she doesn't want to do what her mother wants her to either. So, in the least spoilery way possible, yes, she's still Like That, but it's more internal than external.
Sou: Ok, that’s an interesting thought, but hear me out: what if… we ran an experiment where we spent the rest of our lives finding out what happened if we never told them?
