User banned (3 days) and threadbanned (permanent): Ignoring staff post; metacommentary

While this is true, Resetera taking the stance that it’s ok to keep using the site you like even though the owner is awful is quite ironic.

Great point. Social media, social websites, forums, and the people that run them are often not our friends. Trading one evil for another flavor only goes so far.

Everybody after this got permanently threadbanned for “ignoring staff post”

Yea it's odd and also even though some other platforms are terrible they aren't backed by an heir to an apartheid who is openly paying fascists to create content. Or explicitly unbanning people that post CSE images. Or engaging in the Jewish Question or dog whistles with "concerning"/"interesting". I never heard of Jack or Zuckerberg doing anything close to this.

I haven't said anything about people still using Twitter but I find the argument (other platforms are bad) to be weak. I've never had a Twitter and my only contact has been posts on the web so take my opinion with a grain of salt.

That being said, it doesn't really help to keep bringing up how bad Twitter is.

You're right. Life's too short to worry about who's running your platform! Let's all move back to NeoGAF.

Haha, you're gonna have some angry mods talking about you in the discord.

So seems like there is a limit where a social networking platform is not allowed here. Whats the line between YouTube and Parler? Is it based on userbase size, or the ideology promoted by the owners? Or something else?

Reading that pretty horrible mod take it seems to be purely convenience. The irony lost that this place exists due to an exodus of users from a social platform whos owner performed actions deemed irredeemable and worthy of deplatforming. The only conclusion I can draw is that their actions were worse than Musk in this case.

Ha - not a take I was expecting to see when I saw that mod message but you’re not wrong!

Really think this staff post misses the mark. There's only one platform where cisgender is considered a 'slur'

And where the owner is going out of their way to unban someone who posted CSAM.

It really is disconcerting especially given the staff’s stance and reaction on the wizard author. It’s a convenience thing when it comes to people and Twitter. I thought I’d struggle and regret ditching that platform years ago and it was a nothing burger.

Hit dog, etc.

In that Sound Of Freedom review, Jeremy Jahns found the film informative, sings praises of Jim Caviezel (not just his performance), had done his research and he believes the organisation the film is based on actually did save victims of trafficking when that is far from the truth.

His link goes to a YouTube video from Rebecca Watson, a self-declared skeptic who believes conspiracy theories and psuedoscience/junk science among who knows what else.  

alright, I watched this video

summary:
- rebecca watson wants you to know above all that she is anti-sex trafficking, because being anti-the movie starts you off on the back foot
- she hasn't even watched the movie but says it is boring and urges everyone to steer clear
- in the last few days O.U.R. removed an article where they disavowed conspiracy theories, which is evidence that they support qanon now or something?
- vice articles are her entire sources for everything wrong with O.U.R.
- the organization has a general air of being made up of grassroots amateurs
- one team was dispatched to a village to look for a trafficked boy on the advice of a fucking psychic
- one guy bought a couple trafficked kids to free them (therefore incentivizing more trafficking)
- others sometimes roll into town looking for pimps, if the pimps don't offer them kids they ask for kids (therefore incentivizing more trafficking) but also as soon as this happens they deal with local law enforcement to arrest everyone involved, so if they're actually put behind bars I think it's a wash? how is it an incentive when word gets out among the pimps that anyone looking for kids are going to get you arrested if you follow through with it?
-rebecca asks a friend for a good alternative anti-child-sex-trafficking organization to donate to and her friend says ALL SUCH ORGANIZATIONS ARE INHERENTLY PROBLEMATIC AND YOU SHOULD DONATE TO PRO-SEX WORK ORGS INSTEAD



she again urges everyone not to see the movie and implies that all money spent on tickets go directly to the organization or something, instead of, you know, how fucking movies work

https://ourrescue.org/sound-of-freedom

We hope everyone can experience this powerful movie. While none of the proceeds from “Sound of Freedom” go to O.U.R., you can still make a difference.

while her examples of things the organization does wrong are of course shitty, it's likely that those things were used as examples because they're particularly shitty and eye-grabbing and generate an emotional response, rather than being representative of all day-to-day operations of the organization

I don't feel strongly either way about the organization, but it takes more than a few anecdotes to prove they accomplish literally nothing positive, as Messofanego said her video proved

These look cool. I remember seeing these in Japan when I visited.

One thing I hate about American industrial design, of all types, is the need for things too be so big. From washing machines, to trucks lol.

These kei trucks are very popular with famers, ranchers, rural living folks because they're much cheaper (duh) and have similar bed sizes to American trucks. However, you can't import these unless they're 25 years old or older. It's a protectionist law in place to protect domestic car sales. But these things are built like tanks, so they last long.

If I was a rural person, I'd definitely get one of these as a work truck.

The logic behind ProSexWork is that being actually regulated will reduce the most vile elements, like drug regulation.

While this is true, Resetera taking the stance that it’s ok to keep using the site you like even though the owner is awful is quite ironic.

As I continually point out when this comparison comes up, there's a vast world of difference between a major social media site that is effectively a foundational pillar of modern society and a small video game messageboard with a few thousand members. Getting off of Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, Reddit, etc. when no-one else is leaving for any of the alternatives is basically the online equivalent to living off the grid and drinking you own piss to a lot of folks.

[BIONIC]

Reading ree posts often feels like drinking piss, so I see his point.

Come on, Uncle.

only if money going toward pro sex work is demonstrably getting regulation passed, rather than generic "support" which could just as easily also incentivize sex trafficking

if an area becomes known as the place to go to have sex of any kind because everyone there is so gosh darn sex positive, you don't think that shadier, less-scrupulous locals wouldn't see a business opportunity to capitalize on being known as the anything-goes sex vacation spot?

whereas if you can't even find an average hooker, you're probably much less likely to be able to find anything far outside the norms

if sex work is legal and flourishing in an area, to the point that cops don't even bat an eye when they see a girl on a streetcorner, isn't it likely they won't notice when those same girls are a little too young? isn't it more likely they'd be found and rescued if the cops were actively keeping an eye out for that sort of thing, because it's isn't legal?

[Boredfrom]

. only if money going toward pro sex work is demonstrably getting regulation passed, rather than generic "support" which could just as easily also incentivize sex trafficking

I imagine that is the idea with organizations that are actually serious about it. Like anti sex trafficking orgs that want to pass legislation that prevents this. And pro drugs organizations that want to pass legislation. And…

. if an area becomes known as the place to go to have sex of any kind because everyone there is so gosh darn sex positive, you don't think that shadier, less-scrupulous locals wouldn't see a business opportunity to capitalize on being known as the anything-goes sex vacation spot?

Uncle… this can happen in places where there is no sex positive sentiments.

If is actually enforced and regulated… the contrary should happen.

correct

now prove that trafficking is equally likely to happen in both kids of places

If is actually enforced and regulated… the contrary should happen.

imagine arguing that legalizing gun ownership leads to less abuse, as if that wasn't a failed experiment

when something is normalized to an extent that police don't or can't harass people about it, more egregious abuses happen behind the scenes, because what's on the surface is so commonplace that no one looks closer

You are talking like this doesn't happen whatever something is legal or not. Thats why the concept of enforcement exists.

Come on, Uncle.

This works for avoiding exploitation of nominally consenting adults, but I don't think donating to pro-sexwork lobbyists does much if anything for victims of trafficking and / or minors.

Like... inherently that's not really their area of concern.
For the same reasons Minimum Wage regulation doesn't do much about modern slavery even though it would appear to fall under that remit.

Also if era are so concerned about the activities of certain controversial charities potentially making childrens lives worse in their efforts to help, maybe they should stop fucking recommending people donate to mermaids

But that is another thing... most of this stuff is connected.

I agree that if you concern is trafficking you should donate to this groups and Jesse Gender is a dumbass, but I'm questioning Uncle perception that pro-sexwork and regulation would make stuff like that inherently easier.

no, this US is very gun-positive, in favor of free gun ownership for anyone

if it were regulated and enforced as in places like the UK, that would be said to be decidedly gun-negative

when it's hard to own a pistol you can bet it's even harder to have access to an AK

but by your arguments above, all you have to say is "but people can get AKs even in more strictly controlled areas," as if there's literally no difference in how difficult it might be to make that happen

People like you who can't handle criticism ??

Lol

You come in basically call everyone stupid and then tried to own me because I liked  Barbie

Bucko you're the Andrew Dice Clay of "criticism"

Lmao, dude, calling saw fucking ten trash is not a hot take.

Add misgendering to the pile!

Learn the difference between this looks like trash... boring generic analysis that barely passes for criticism but is.

And some of you will  really watch any trash... not criticism just some sad performative insulting/self aggrandizing

The Barbie thing is definitely the funniest thing I've ever seen someone try to shit on me for... like you got me dude I enjoyed a critically successful film from a great writer/director... I'll never recover from that sick burn

Misgendering ? Wtf are you trying to get people banned  now ? Seems to be your MO from previous posts . Will leave you to it.

bluesky is nice for the narrative but I need news there. there's no news/sports its people areguing over inane internet drama half the time and policing what's acceptable or not and why things are problematic.

At this point you are discussing semantics and lack of enforcement.

I think it would be more honest just to say “I don’t like sex work in general”. Many here have expressed that.

Some Turks in Austria have lodged a formal complaint over Lego's Jabba's Palace set, saying Lego is encouraging racial prejudice and perpetuating negative images of Muslims.

The problem, apparently, is that the Jabba the Hut Lego palace looks like a mosque. And not just any mosque, but Istanbul’s great Hagia Sophia, and another mosque in Beirut, Jami al-Kabir.
