No you pretty much laid it out in you comment, I think it tracks.

Having a misleading UI and making not-unprobable assumptions about viewers feels less problematic though?

I don’t think I particularly matters where the situation lands on the “scale of problematicness”, but youre correct it does exist and it isn’t at the far end of the spectrum. Nonetheless, it is a symptom of a greater social issue (patriarchy), and it warrants discussion and criticism.

The porn industry is made up of corporations, which will tend to reproduce the same heiarchies that exist in society, since that’s what’s most profitable. It isn’t inherently problematic to objectify people in a sexual context, however it isn’t applied equally, and is reproduced in the user controls on most porn sites.

They just assume everyone is a straight male or a gay male, so the choice that gets presented is “gay stuff” or “everything else”. This is reflected in user stats, but it is also going to be self fulfilling. It would make more sense to be able to select one or more options of the broad “straight/gay/les/other” if pornhub existed in a relatively equal society. I don’t expect them to do this, but I do expect my online community to be able to discuss it and how it both reflects and reproduces harmful social constructs.

Idk if that clarifies anything, but I think you and I are in the same ballpark?

OK and they don’t have to cater in a misogynistic way, but they do, and I’m criticizing that decision.

We can leave it at the same volume. Its not “all men are bad” even, no need to make things up, its embedded misogyny, even perpetuated by women at times.

The question why is “lesbian” porn, in the “straight” section?

Why would a straight woman on a porn site expect to see lesbian porn when they select to see straight porn? It’s a double standard.

If men (or anyone else) wanted to watch lesbian porn, there’s nothing wrong with that, it just seems out of place in the straight section, cause that’s not what it is.

Why?

From the perspective of pornography distributors and consumers, all womens’ bodies exist for their sexual gratification. This includes lesbians ofc.

It’s simply manifestation of misogyny.

Who could have possibly predicted this?

Yeah the answer is to log off

Lol I’m plenty aware Ukraine is Nazi infested, but the downvote stays.

This is a meme comm, not necessarily a political debate comm. The meme isn’t really that high of quality.

200% true, if he dies in office he becomes immortal

soviets often try to steal all the achievements of the country

Thing is that the workers in those countries were Soviet as well. Credit goes to the labor regardless of nationality. The softening of national divisions was a great achievement of both the USSR and Yugoslavian socialist governments. It has been disastrous that those institutions weren’t able to prevail until the current day (they should have evolved instead of been abolished, but I don’t know enough to comment much further).

I don’t agree with the depiction of the USSR as an outside force that developed these countries “for them”. It was an opportunity to come together under one republic and develop.

I think the meme is attempting to disparage the “ungratefulness” of present day liberals in these FSU countries, but I think it lacks nuance to say the least.

I think the meme is low quality and needlessly provocative (no offense OP I guess), but the answer is likely complex. Once the republics are under the purview of the USSR, the resources and engineerong may well have come from elsewhere in the country, even if the construction crews were primarily local people.

I don’t know enough about Soviet construction to provide an actual answer, though.

This could work if you live in Venice or something, but i meant *taking* damnit

Under capitalism, kayaking the time to get to know your neighbors is revolutionary behavior. When things go sideways, the people in direct geographic proximity to you are going to be the ones in best position to support you (and one another). It’s best to start laying that groundwork asap.

Being involved in wider activism is also a grounding and fulfilling. You don’t need to join a revolutionary socialist party like PSL (but you can if you want to go hard), even joining a park cleanup day or something like that is a good place to be.

Anarchist thought is applying criticism to hiearchy and abolishing those that fail tonl justify themselves. Unfortunately people online don’t read their theory and just say whatever they’re thinking.

For me it was that it said “forcing this upgrade may break your system, do you want to force the upgrade?”

And I was like “yeah, fuck it”, then installed mint after my system didn’t come back up (it was time for my annual re-install anyway)

It helps to put in some extra shifts at the posting mines

I didn’t want a mod tag next to all of my posts, and Lemmy doesn’t let you disable it.

Yeah this isn’t my main account

Hey, haven’t used this account in a while, figured I got demodded, but if there’s a need I can fire it back up. I think the instance admins have things under control in general.

It’s not that you’re an idiot, but it’s wise to avoid using a chromium/blink based browser since they are building a dangerous monopoly. Firefox is the best known alternative, but there are a couple other options.
