When you get the chance to write a dissertation titled “Einstein-Rosen Bridges and the hot alien who fell out of one and banged my Ph.D Advisor”, you CHANGE YOUR MAJOR and you write that paper.

Don't laugh at this because "Oh those silly monster f*ckers." This is a giant freaking RED FLAG just like with Only Fans.

so there's some people in the tags wondering "hey why are lots of sites cracking down lately/why is anything sexual being removed"

once again, it goes down to platforms and payment processors. platforms, aka, app stores, and mostly Apple: that was the issue with Tumblr, and with OnlyFans. Fandom, the company that hosts all the fan wikis, also produces D&D Beyond. If they're trying to make a Fandom app, this might be why it's happening - or because they are self censoring before trying to do something else that would involve an app store or credit card payment processor.

This is why people need to pay ATTENTION to what happens with the mainstreaming of SWERF rhetoric. For example: there is a supposedly anti-trafficking movement called Exodus Cry about "protecting children not porn", that uses trafficking survivors, the media environment of trafficking panic and people's real fears, to push this stuff, when in reality they are an evangelical Christian group. Without researching the nefarious background, the New York Times wrote a whole piece about their supposed "work", which, being the NYT, got a ton of attention and got payment processors like the major credit card companies to start cracking down HARD on porn sites. (Look up the TraffickingHub campaign. The irony here being that Mindgeek, the GIGANTIC media monopoly that owns sites like Pornhub and Redtube, is very unethical but not for the reasons these mf say).

They've made Netflix documentaries, TikTok is chock FULL of trafficking panic videos with false information, Congress has already used "protecting children" to enact SESTA/FOSTA, which put sex workers and many others in danger (see: the immediate fall of Backpage), and there's more on the horizon.

I IMPLORE people - this is not about fandom shipping discourse. This is not about antis. This is about 1) internet privacy 2) sex worker rights 3) how to REALLY protect trafficking and abuse survivors 4) the police/surveillance state we live in getting bigger. I'm rambling here, but to learn more:

1. Follow Hacking/Hustling on Twitter/etc. They have an infinite amount of resources on this.

2. Follow the Electronic Frontier Foundation, who flags stuff like this all the time.

3. Listen to these episodes of the You're Wrong About podcast for a good summary:

- the sex offender episode

- the human trafficking episode

- the wayfair conspiracy & trafficking statistics episode

4. Some necessary reading:

- "The Crusade Against Pornhub Is Going to Get Someone Killed"

- "Visa and Mastercard are Trying to Dictate What You Can Watch on Pornhub"

- "Nick Kristof & the Holy War on Pornhub"

5. LEARN ABOUT THE EARN IT ACT from Republicans in Congress. It is another "oh we're trying to protect the children" situation that will hurt sex workers first and everyone else in the process.

- "The EARN IT Act is a Disaster for Online Speech and Privacy, Especially for the LGBTQ and Sex Worker Communities" - ACLU

6. LEARN ABOUT SECTION 230 and the ongoing debates about platform responsibility. As Facebook enters its meta virtual reality phase this is crucial as well.

Don’t hide this magnificent piece of info in the tags.

The bloke (Conrad Veidt) was an outspoken opponent of antisemitism, and when he refused to divorce his wife (who was Jewish), Joseph Goebbels had him blacklisted.

He also donated tons and tons of money to poor children who had been negatively effected by the Blitz in London after he moved to the US, following his becoming a naturalised-British citizen after leaving Germany in the 1930s.

hairy-dykes-r-us

Don’t forget that in 1919, he starred in “Different from the Others”, a German film protesting the anti-homosexuality laws in place. It’s widely regarded as the first pro-gay film. Conrad Veidt was a goddamn hero.

I just feel like this pic is relevant to the discussion

He was also the highest paid member of the cast in “Casablanca” (where he played a Nazi officer, again), even if he only got second billing, because he was THAT big a star.

He and his first wife divorced after… well she said it better than I ever could.

“I excused a lot of his failings and whims because I loved him. But one day he did something to me that I couldn’t forgive. I was singing that evening at the cabaret. I left him home and he told me: “I invited a few friends; we’ll dine while we wait for you.” And it just so happened I had received a new dress from Paris. That evening, after work, I arrived home and what do I see? All these gentlemen dressed as women. And Conrad had put on my Paris dress. At this point, I divorced!”

And as Anita Loos put it

“Any Berlin lady of the night might turn out to be a man; the prettiest girl on the street was Konrad [sic] Veidt.”

I didn’t know Mr. T pityed fool’s that weren’t woke, but that’s awesome. #respect

lordxeras

“I think about my father being called ‘boy’, my uncle being called ‘boy’, my brother, coming back from Vietnam and being called ‘boy’. So I questioned myself: “What does a black man have to do before he’s given the respect as a man?” So when I was 18 years old, when I was old enough to fight and die for my country, old enough to drink, old enough to vote, I said I was old enough to be called a man. I self-ordained myself Mr. T so the first word out of everybody’s mouth is “Mr.” That’s a sign of respect that my father didn’t get, that my brother didn’t get, that my mother didn’t get.“
