  • Censoring swear words on text posts have been around long before TikTok, they just kicked it into overdrive. I really can’t think of a reason why the censored version of memes get spread more than uncensored except to think that there are a dedicated group of people who pick up memes like this and spread the censored version before the uncensored version hits.

    It makes some sort of sense for videos. TikTok and YouTube demonetized and suppress videos with swear words in them. And those platforms can make people money. I don’t see why a text post would be censored, I don’t know of many ways to make a lot of money off of reposting memes and even the few I could think of don’t really care if they’re censored.

    Making up fake outrage to point to as an egregious example of a real problem which trivializes the real problem to an outside observer and makes it seem like you don’t have an actual argument but are rather raging for the sake of feeling offended.

    Not to mention, to the person making this argument, this is an affirmation to you that the others are “that bad” despite this not being an example and would most likely being an extreme version of the behavior you’re actually mad about.

    .

    All of this is the type of arguments reddit takes against the supposed “male rape culture” that you made fun of them for. Do you see the parallels?








  • Unfortunately because of the stigma and the defacto ostracization from certain aspects of society, not the least of which is financial, people in these industries are usually really callous when it comes to extracting money out of the clients. Not to mention the fact that most of society doesn’t need porn or doesn’t need it enough to consider paying for it.

    I suppose it’s tit-for-tat. The client objectifies them as a sex object, they objectify the client as a cash cow. But now I’m just describing most capitalist exchanges.
