#exodus cry

[drithligh]

I feel like this is important to listen to, with regards as to what’s happening with OF and how this essentially all started with an Evangelical Christian (called Exodus Cry) organisation (if you’re on tiktok and you saw those cancel porn profile pics going around all over the app, they essentially started it) basically hounding these credit card companies (like visa and MasterCard) to change their terms and conditions to not include sex work.

Nick Kristof and the Holy War on Pornhub

Having declared victory in its war on Backpage and sex work, the liberal-conservative coalition has pivoted to porn.

The Exodus Cry group is so much worse than I could have even guessed.

Over the last two decades, as the anti-porn groups of the 1980s and 1990s proved to have failed, and as the Christian right sought to appeal to a younger generation, many such organizations have sought to redefine their sexual purity mission as one of social justice. Morality in the Media, an anti-porn group founded in the 1960s, has rebranded as the National Center on Sexual Exploitation. It is among the religious right groups that have added sex trafficking to their more traditional agendas targeting abortion and LGBTQ rights.

Emphasis mine. Sound familiar?

Bickle has also preached that in the end times, but God will “raise up a hunter” to kill Jews who reject Christian belief, “and the most famous hunter in recent history is a man named Adolf Hitler.”

It always comes back to antisemitism in the end, doesn’t it?

PART ONE

Here’s the second part of this Only Fans banning and how it correlates with Exodus Cry/Cancel Porn

Sign the petition to make sex buying a felony to uproot sex trafficking // End Demand Petition

By making the purchase of sex a felony, buyers are held accountable. This is a powerful deterrent. No demand = no sex trafficking industry.

On the power of pushing back against the marginalisation of sex workers

So over the course of the course of the last week OnlyFans decided that they were going to suddenly ban adult content from their site. This may be seen as an inexplicable decision given that this i…

So it was Master Ulrich and his massive fucking L – which the Archdeacon informed him he was going to have to take – that I thought of when OnlyFans reversed their whole “no more tiddy pics” policy. Because what happened – very hearteningly – is that when they tried it, sex workers got mad, and everyone who supports them showed up to yell at OnlyFans. Exodus Cry, much like Master Ulrich before them, massively overestimated the appeal of the whole “sex is always bad” campaign, and it turns out people want to support and help sex workers instead of impoverishing them. OnlyFans got pushback, the banks who allegedly wanted this in the first place would much rather take money and not get yelled at, and the whole October 1 deadline has been suspended. This is a feel-good story.

I am not saying that sex work in and of itself is necessarily “good”. In fact, I am completely unwilling to label sex as a whole “good” as I am out here on team sex critical. Moreover, I am absolutely not going to tell you that “work” is good either. It is bad but we have to do it in order to survive in our garbage society. What I am saying, and as I have written about before, is that depriving people of their livelihood with absolutely no plan to support them after you do is extremely bad. Sex workers have a right to a safe and dignified way to make a living, and taking that away from them is not helping anyone.
