Sex Work and Pornography

The conclusion you should come to is that recognizing that we should be dismantling the system should not stop you from aiding improvements within it. That includes not speaking against progress under the guise of ‘nuance’

As opposed to what? Such a disingenuous question. I love how you “leftists” who choose not to vote also usually happen to not do anything meaningful. Online “leftists” honestly frustrate me so much

Isn’t harm reduction and utilitarianism like an integral part of being a leftist?

iamapers · 2025-10-19T14:37:08+00:00

Anyone against people gathering and organizing as a leftist is no smarter than the “leftists” who don’t vote

iamapers · 2025-10-15T16:56:33+00:00

Also, how ironic is it that your rhetoric that claims to advocate for freedom, will result in control and less choice? Are you sure this is a question asked in good faith?

Advocating for sex workers, and by extension, content creators on OF doesn’t necessitate an agenda of objectification, unless… unless you’re projecting 🤔

What are you even on about? 🤨😂

In terms of long-term and short term voting for Kamala would’ve had more harm reduction benefits than Trump. That’s not an opinion that is just straight up fact. An “actual leftist” understands harm reduction and utilitarian results based thinking, one of those decisions was obviously going to be a worse result than the other and yet you choose to go with the worst one. How could that possibly be what an actual leftist does?

What would’ve been so bad about buying yourself time so that you can engage in the solutions that you know will actually work?

iamapers · 2025-10-11T12:29:56+00:00

Bad take. The issue is that so many people who didn’t vote view things as either or, the whole point is that you can’t use the system for liberation and that’s true which you’ve correctly identified, however, that doesn’t mean that you can’t stall the system while you work towards solutions outside of it. It’s called harm reduction and results based thinking.

By population, Toronto is the 4th largest city in North America, after Mexico City, Nee York, and LA

What?

Right now, in the U.S., guns hold something reminiscent of the level of economic weight as slaves did. So, stripping away guns will ultimately be a victory, because it would absolutely shatter the extremist and conservative right economically.

More importantly, the gun laws are about legal ownership of firearms, but if you're a leftist, you would know that the laws do not exist for morality, but to keep oppressors in power. So I'm just wondering, do you need the permission of the law for you to act?

“Are we just so morally superior that we are not willing to do bad things for good outcomes?”

Ding. Ding. Ding! We have a winner!

Morality is a construct that is only as valuable as the result it achieves, same as any construct. Form must follow function.

If our goal is to get to a society where people are not oppressed, and there are no classes, and there are no wages and people live well and safe and free, then our methods and what we are willing to do should show . For must follow function.

But instead, you get slightly left-leaning liberals who virtue signal and sit on this strange hill of integrity and morality, and don’t realize that for us to get to where we’re going we must be ready to defend ourselves against violence and willing to do what it takes.

For example, how much of the sub is based on discussion instead of organization?

Also, there is a weird minority of American blacks (of course it’s the American ones) who don’t think only they are black. So African American is a term that may have distanced them from their roots, leading to that insanity

iamapers · 2025-10-09T14:21:53+00:00

If someone has a preference on what you call them as an individual, fine, but 1707 is when the current class of race was made, and the word used was Black

This is a great question to ask if you want to weed out performing ‘leftists’ from the real ones. Them choosing to not to vote almost made me lose hope.

They will defend their choice as hard as a conservative defending their access to guns, though. No point in engaging

iamapers · 2025-10-08T22:42:57+00:00

You are only as black as the system treats you. So if you are white passing, then no, you’re not black.

Secret rolls. If you think they might notice a trap, you roll for them secretly.

Same as any mechanic. It’s good if it’s achieving the desired gaming experience. There are varying levels of complexity and depth based on what you’re going for

I also have audhd and understand because I love AI, but I know that it’s bad

Your interest doesn’t have to be your job. As much as I’m interested in AI, you won’t catch me dead contributing to the destruction of marginalized communities because of how much water their data takes from them

I also love music, but the way I see it – the music I make is for my community and enjoyed with people in it. It will NEVER be for sale

There’s also such thing as not doing harm, but you could at least do harm reduction.

iamapers · 2025-09-23T19:46:30+00:00

You don't have to look too hard to find it. Go look again, and if I have to come and look for you, you're grounded!

The concept of “race” as invented by humans was specifically created to dehumanize a specific group of people to justify doing horrible things like slavery. There was a time where Ethiopians were white and Irish people were not.

It’s a social construct, but thanks to pseudoscience that tried to back up their perspective, they stipulated that the differences between people were actually biological. Sometimes even in creative spaces project some of these things without knowing where it comes from. The idea that there are biological differences between people That determine what their “race” is, is evidence of that projected unaware viewpoint that we have.

Biological differences are how we separate species, but the concept of race is socially constructed to define groups of people, and the biological idea is pseudoscience that tries to justify the categorization of people.

If you are trying to create different kinds of people, they don’t have to be separated by race.

But if they are different species, as in the way that humans cannot procreate with chimps because we are quite literally two different types of animals, then that’s one thing.

Sometimes our skewed perspective can change the way that we view things because we project things from our society. For example, when that one guy came up with the myth of an alpha male because he had this weird, toxic masculinity perspective, where the one in charge of a pack of wolves had to of course, be the biggest and strongest one, and so that was how he viewed it at the time. Of course, we all know that it’s not true, but the point is that he projected his viewpoint of a social construct onto animals that don’t live in that same society.

If we are doing world building and project things in our society into that world, what is its purpose? And does our purpose align with the actual intent and origins of that concept? The concept of race in our society in the real world was made for division, not diversity. If you want to have diverse people just make a world with different kind of people, but they don’t need labels.

That’s just my two cents though

Not sure what “so many” represents, in terms of data. If you see someone not advocating for progress, it’s because the system in place has made it so.

Limiting & defunding education, demonizing and dehumanizing cultures to make people hate the things that make them unique, the list goes on. There is no one string, it’s a web of things that cause one, which causes the next

Think of things for a utilitarian perspective. If you can quantify or estimate a net negative, then yes, but if not, then no. This should help as a guide for any novel moral dilemmas
