This isn’t information that can sit in your likes guys I’m not trying to guilt trip but this is life or death please reblog and spread
I was reading this article this morning, about Disney cutting ties with PewDiePie, a YouTube star (I’ve never heard of him?) who had included antisemitic content in his videos. This guy has continually claimed that all the antisemitic content he’s produced (which includes statements such as ‘death to all Jews’ and ‘Hitler did absolutely nothing wrong’) is a joke, and that people who are offended simply don’t understand the context, suggesting that it’s ‘laughable’ that he might agree with these viewpoints. So far so unsurprising: we’ve heard all this before.
But at the bottom of the article it points out the response to these videos by the Daily Stormer, a neo-Nazi website, which now describes itself as ‘the number 1 PewDiePie fansite’. The Daily Stormer stated: “He could be doing all this only to cause a stir things up and get free publicity […] Ultimately, it doesn’t matter, since the effect is the same; it normalizes Nazism, and marginalizes our enemies.”
The point is this: if you are making racist or antisemitic jokes, it doesn’t matter if you were only joking, or messing around, or that you would never subscribe to those views; the effect is the same. Regardless of whether you agree with what you are saying, you are emboldening, normalising and legitimising Nazis. You are permitting fascism to take root in our society. Jokes matter. This is where extreme views creep in, take hold and are normalised. Think about what you’re saying: words have power. Stop normalising Nazis.
For a growing number of American kids, porn is their sex ed.
Now Pornhub is hoping to offer their audience some more formal lessons
in how to be a healthy and happy sexual being.
On Wednesday, the massive adult entertainment destination took the
somewhat surprising step of launching the “Pornhub Sexual Health
Center.” They’re hoping the free sub-site
will become a go-to resource for some of their 70 million daily users
on all manner of topics, including STIs, sexual safety and how to manage
relationships.
They’ve chosen Dr. Laurie Betito, a renowned sex therapist, to direct
the site and they’ll also be working with a number of doctors,
therapists and other experts to offer advice and answer questions. Corey
Price, Pornhub’s Vice President, told Mashable, “Our goal is
to provide our visitors with a site that has credible and insightful
information, rather than have them scouring the internet.”
While it’s a database they’ll build up over time, a first look
reveals they’ve started with the fundamentals — with answers to things
like “Babies. Where do they come from?” and “Are there really three
holes?” These might seems almost laughably basic to adult consumers of
hardcore porn, but there are a lot of young people for whom these are
very real questions.
Price told Mashable they weren’t aiming the content
specifically at beginners. He said they simply want to appeal to “those
who are looking for trustworthy sex tips and health advice provided by
experts.” But it seems like they realize this could prove to be an
especially valuable resource for their younger audience, who most likely
isn’t getting comprehensive (much less sex-positive) sex ed in schools.
There are, of course, plenty of online sexual health and education
resources, but for many kids, landing on sites like Pornhub is already
their way into learning about sex. Porn can obviously teach you plenty
about the basics and mechanics of intercourse, but there’s a whole range
of other things — biology, health, consent, relating to intimate
partners, just to name a few — that you won’t pick up from watching
videos like “Big tits round asses” or “Sloppy throat games.”
So if they can slide their curious audience over to the PSHC while
they’re already on the site, it could function as pretty useful one-stop
shop for filling in the blanks left by spotty sex ed classes and the
birds and bees talks given by often bewildered parents.
Neat!
Holy shit their section on trans people was actually really good and not what I expected from something hosted by a porn site! If they had a containing various sexualities and whatnot as well, they’ll definitely have a good resource on their hands!
America: where sex education is literally so bad the porn industry has to step in
Guys there’s a ton of raids and ICE IS ALL OVER Austin and I just don’t wanna be here anymore I wanna go away
For anyone in Austin, there’s a checkpoint on N. Lamar near Rundberg, and one in Decker Ln. So stay away,. There’s video recordings of them having arrested already a few ppl in front of the HEB on north Lamar. My cousin who lives by Sendero Hills on 969 said they raided some of the taco stands there so please stay away!! Apparently they’re knocking door to door in Manor so we’ll see if they knock in mine.
It’s no surprise they’re attacking areas where most of the Latino population is concentrated. Lamar/Runberg Decker Ln East Riverside Cameron Rd
I would say people in those areas should be worried the most. Call your family if they’re out for work and prob tell them to not come home for a while.
If y’all are in Travis County and especially the Austin area–look after yourselves, know your rights, have a back-up plan if the worst happens.
