I'm sooooo tired of exhibitionists getting off on compelling me to see their pornography. I did not consent. Me every time I open Flickr. I gotta say, a lot of this (in general, not Twitter-specific) is why I'm kind of over photography these days. Sharing a platform (Flickr) with some of that content just doesn't feel good. I'm certainly not prudish by any means, but time and place, ya know? Besides, I'm not into violence at all, so I have to be careful when navigating the horror groups that I used to post in. Creepy avatars, yes. Love the creativity. Miss me with the rest of that, tho. I kind of go through this same thought process when browsing some of the product sales and events and I've asked myself so many times why I'm even willing to be associated with the entire thing (SL). Hence my peeve about hating this time of year. I feel it's somewhat worse around this time for some reason. More spooky, less...whatever that is, plz. 3 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sammy Huntsman Posted October 7, 2023 Share Posted October 7, 2023 8 hours ago, Zalificent Corvinus said: Actually, no, it was a thread where some clueless middle class suburban fad diet fans, knowing nothing about a foreign country than "cows are sacred there" seriously suggested shipping 11 million animals to the other side of the world to "prevent the cruelty of milk production", ignoring the fact that shipping 11 million animals half way round the world is a) impractical, b) excessively cruel, and c) wouldn't be that well received by people iin the target country who suddenly found 11 million foreign cows dumped in their fields. This sort of thing is actually common in "Animal Rights" nutjobs. Some years back, pig farmers in southern France cross bred large domestic pigs with Wild Boar, hoping to get a hybrid that TASTED like wild boar, but was larger and domesticated. 2 Out of 3 ain't bad, they got the taste, and the large size, but the things were mean as hell. Then some animal rights nutters raided the farm and released the damn things into the wild. They were aggressive, weight several hundred pounds each, and ate anything that couldn't get away in time, the French Authorities ended up having to place a bounty on the damn things, to encourage hunters to risk life and limb eradicating the things. The "Animals are people too" crowd never stopped to think about the effects of releasing a species of 300+ lb, violently aggressive, omnivores into the eco system would have, or the danger posed to the public. Then there were the PETA pillocks who raided a commercial Mink farm in England, and released large numbers of one of the most vicious small predators known to man into the country side, where they DEVASTATED the local wildlife, including many endangered species. Country folk HATE suburban fad diet nutters telling them "what's best for animals" as it's usually wrong. Not gonna lie, I just hate extreme animal activists in general. The amount of crimes committed on farms, who don't fit the bill of being a factory farm. All to protest some farmer who basically lets the animals graze on an open pasture is absolutely insane. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I made an account as Pearl years ago, but I wouldn't even remember how to login anymore. I've singled out Twitter because that's where i am seeing a lot of this now, but as both Ayashe and Sabrina note, It's not limited to that platform. There are maybe actually two issues here. The first, which was my main point, is "oversharing" explicit sexual content, often because the sharer gets off on that. That happens here too. The second is the lack of granularity in most ratings systems. I've argued many times that SL needs to distinguish between sexuality and extreme violence -- and that distinction should be reflected on MP content and sales catalogues. Seeing a nude person, or even a couple having sex, is NOT the same thing as seeing a man choking a naked woman. We should be empowered to have access to sexuality without also being compelled to see content featuring sexual violence. Flickr, as Ayashe notes, is really bad at this: it's all one or all another. If I have my settings so that I can see an image of a topless woman, it also perforce brings up representations of sexual violence in my stream. The two are not the same. We should have the choice. Again, It's about consent. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again, It's about consent. Even more baffling - it's against Twitter's content guidelines. Sexual whatnot in photos, all good. In video, no. Violence/abuse in any case - no. I would think that would be the same elsewhere (I haven't checked Flickr's TOS in a minute, admittedly), but um...at least on Twitter, you shouldn't be seeing that at all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's interesting, I thought "animalistic" is pretty straightforward - especially since I clarified after Scylla's joke! It appears that I know nothing about hyperbole.

People posting smut on the internet, would ONLY be "animalistic" if it was like something an animal would do. Since animals do not post smut on the internet, people doing that, is NOT "like an animal" and thus, NOT animalistic. Maybe you should stick to telling un-funny "dad jokes so bad even dads won't tell them". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rowan Amore Posted October 7, 2023 Share Posted October 7, 2023 Hyperbole is an exaggerated statement or claim. It can be about a true subject but the way it's presented is over the top. Now, who do we know that does that often? Just sayin', sometimes it's hard to tell the difference. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
