I’m fairly sure that only people that use Lemmy are: communist trans women that are Linux aficionados. They may or may have also dabbled in being a femboy and being a furry.
Joking aside, it’s time to get serious.
Dear Men,
If you a man who understands why women need to feel space. This comment isn’t for you. Feel free to upvote me and downvote all my enemies.
When women (cis and trans) don’t feel safe they leave spaces. This also applies to men too. No one wants to be somewhere were they don’t feel safe. When a bunch of women leave that means the ratio of men to women goes higher until critical mass of all men and no women. When that happens, we have what is called a "sausage party". Now some men would love a sausage party. Ask yourself, do you want a sausage party?
If no, stop getting your balls in a twist. WomensStuff is not hurting anyone, they’re not going out brigarding or harassing or picking fights with other people. All users of WomensStuff want is a place where they can get together and talk about things that matter to them. If women feel safe on Lemmy, you don’t get a sausage party. There is also the risk of scaring off all the wonderful original women content creators of Lemmy NSFW. The fact is women are awesome and there should be more of them.
Now, if you want a sausage party and recognizance that women are people who deserve to feel safe. You can create your own sausage party community. You do you.
Now, if you want don’t want/want sausage party and are toxic asshole. Go start your own instance, where you all can circle jerk each other while complaining why women don’t want to be around you. Hopefully, one day you’ll come to the realization the reason why women don’t want to be around you is because your asshole. With that realization you’ll come to the conclusion that women want to feel safe in a world that doesn’t allow them that freedom.
Cause at the end of the day, WomensStuff **DOES NOT AFFECT YOUR LIFE IN ANY MEANINGFUL WAY. ** Go be angry at the slow stripping of rights of anyone who isn’t a white male. Or how major countries are taking their sweet ass time to recognizance the Israel is committing genocide. Or that the rich keep getting richer while the rest of us worse off each year. Or how global climate change is going to end us as a species. If you have the time and energy to get mad at small community on Lemmy, you’re life is fucking easy.
Sincerely,
Me

Fuck listening to science about how “Lightning is a natural phenomenon consisting of electrostatic discharges occurring through the atmosphere between two electrically charged regions. One or both regions are within the atmosphere, with the second region sometimes occurring on the ground. Following the lightning, the regions become partially or wholly electrically neutralized.”
This sounds so much better. What reminds when either one of them roll snake eyes?

Mark [The sea captain]: Oh . . . I used to be the captain of my own cruise ship. It was the kind of boat folks rent for weddings, parties, you know, that kind of thing. But on the night in question it had been rented for a prom. Oh, the girls looked so lovely in their dresses, the boys such fine little gentlemen in their tuxedos. They were all drinking and dancing and spiking the punch. I was dizzy with delight when suddenly - my ship sank. We all went into the water. Then came Skoora, picking us off one by one by one by one. Till only I was left. And as he bore down on me, he paused as if to say, “What can I do? I’m a shark. I eat.” And then he cut me in half, cut me right in half - my wife measured me, I’m exactly half my former length. But as he swam away with my lower extremeties dangling from his jaw, I swear to god he was crying.
Kevin: Crying?
Mark: Yes, crying. Oh to be sure, he’s a brutal killing machine. But he shows more remorse than I’ve ever seen in a human.

- Comment on Itch.io apologise for "frustration and confusion" after delisting thousands of NSFW projects 1 week ago:
Collective Shout describe themselves as a “grassroots campaigns movement against the objectification of women and the sexualisation of girls”, but are associated with outspokenly homophobic and anti-abortion Christian conservative groups, according to a now-deleted Vice article. They recently claimed credit for the campaign that saw payment providers pressuring the online storefronts to remove content the group deemed unacceptable.
It’s not hard to empathise with the folks behind Itch for being placed in an impossible position, but their lack of forewarning has left creators blindsided and in some cases, seemingly without income. “I wish we had gotten some warning from Steam and Itch,” wrote game developer Robert Yang on Bluesky, “but we already know it’s Collective Shout + payment processors waging culture war against LGBTQ people and sexual expression. I guess there’s nothing else for Steam and Itch to say”.
Personally speaking, I’d be willing to extend that good faith to Itch.io themselves, but they aren’t the one holding the gun to their own heads here. That’d be financial companies, pressured by Collective Shout, who themselves have ties to an organisation whose CEO once described gay marriage as an “unspeakable offence to God”. It’s not difficult to imagine what kind of expression these groups might decide to deem as unacceptable next.

- Comment on Valve gets pressured by payment processors with a new rule for game devs and various adult games removed 2 weeks ago:
The anti-porn religious lobby just destroyed the livelihoods of thousands of pornographers
Beyond Pornhub, the anti-porn lobby is calling for all credit card companies to stop taking payments from all porn sites. Jessie Sage, sex worker and co-founder of the Peepshow Podcast, and I discussed the effects of this crisis on laborers—a subject she unpacks with sex workers on her newest episode. Jessie told me, “I believe that this will have ripple effects on our industry that extend far beyond Pornhub. Mindgeek [Pornhub’s parent company] is the largest company in the industry, and if Visa/Mastercard is willing to pull its financial services from them, the smaller companies are not far behind.”
OnlyFans founder blames banks for ban on porn
Stokely also said UK-based Metro Bank had closed OnlyFans’ corporate account in 2019 with short notice and highlighted how many sex workers, including OnlyFans creators, were struggling to access basic financial services.
“JPMorgan Chase is particularly aggressive in closing accounts of sex workers or . . . any business that supports sex workers,” he said.
Why is OnlyFans letting financial companies lure it away from porn?
But the decision to remove OnlyFan’s most popular product was not a result of legal pressure, according to the company. The decision was made in order “to comply with the requests of our banking partners and payout providers,” an OnlyFans spokesperson wrote by email.
The change marks a growing trend where financial services firms such as credit card and payment processors effectively decide what content is allowed or prohibited on internet platforms. For creators who depend on internet platforms for their income, especially adult performers, the sudden change represents a cautionary tale as the gatekeepers of the creator economy take shape.
There’s the reason. Anti-porn/religious groups will lobby payment providers and bans to stop payments being made to adult content creators. Is there problematic adult content on Steam? For sure. However, there is also problematic political content on Steam which seems not affect banks/payment providers interest.
We all should care cause adult content is the first to get censored. Then the censor bar will move to include other topics and more topics.

Instead, Lundgren found himself at the centre of one of New York’s most romanticised periods. He dabbled in modelling but was too tall and big for most gigs. He earned a basic wage alongside Chazz Palminteri as a bouncer on the door of Manhattan’s Limelight Club. By night, he hung out with Keith Haring, Iman and Steve Rubell. By morning, [Garace] Jones would bring back as many as five girls for group sex, an activity he describes as “exhausting”. He was a regular at both Studio 54 and the Factory, and Andy Warhol would invite him to do a photoshoot with Jones. But not before Warhol asked him: ‘What are you famous for?’
“It was certainly a shock for this young engineering student,” he says. “I’m pleased to have been part of that scene. It was right before Aids, and the club scene was hardcore. And my girlfriend, Grace, was a big gay icon, so we went to a lot of the clubs. We knew Andy and all the designers, and Michael Jackson and David Bowie. It was simpler in those days somehow. And fun. Entertainment wasn’t corporate in the way entertainment is now. A lot of the people I met back then are not alive anymore. You know, Aids or drugs or a combination of the two. Its bittersweet looking back. Even with Andy. I thought he was an old man at the time but he died in his 50s.”
