Eskating cyclist, gamer and enjoyer of anime. Probably an artist. Also I code sometimes, pretty much just to mod titanfall 2 tho.

Introverted, yet I enjoy discussion to a fault.

    I doubt that. There are both men and women who prefer small.

    What might happen, is that whatever cultural ideal becomes contemporary, is also what most people will opt for, but that won’t mean people on the fringes of the bell curve stop existing.

    I find it more likely that if big breasts become “easy” to get, the ideal will simply shift to something else, as the rarity is part of the appeal.

    If a trait becomes common, at least some portion of people lose interest.












  • That’s unfortunately not how words work.

    Get into etymology and you’d be surprised at the number of words whose current meanings are complete 180s from their historical definitions.

    You can’t just look at a word a decide what it means. Very few people use the word feminist to intend what you are claiming it means.

    Suggesting they secretly intend your interpretation is mad, and claiming everyone except you is using the word wrong just means youre the one who has its definition wrong.

    You literally do, though. You just said you do.

    No I don’t and no I didn’t. I don’t get downvotes and reports and go “yesss, views and engagement”. Each time I have, I’ve reconsidered my posts in an effort to not have that happen again.

    Your apparent assumption that I don’t care whether content is seen by people who want to see it, is entirely on you. I do care.

    But the only way to ensure no-one who doesn’t want to see it, sees it, is not to post. So yeah, I’m ok with some minority of people being put off.

    Okay, but then can you stop trying to use people talking about communities which include the ones you don’t want to engage with as a way to dismiss their claims as blown out of proportion?

    Do you have an example beyond the one I made it clear I’m aware of? I block these too. They’re not popping up every day, which was your point.

    I have the courtesy to marking my NSFW as NSFW

    Did you miss the part where I said I do the same? I’m simply do not agree that there is any level of sense in filing the entire ecategory of anime content on lemmy, under nsfw. That is completely insane. It’s an art medium, not a pornhub genre.

    beyond that I think the culture of ridiculously exploitative depictions of women in anime being defended as “not technically porn” is the root of some incredibly toxic aspects of modern culture, which is a completely separate issue I admit

    I’m not sure where to even begin unpacking the prejudice towards anime-fans here. Sure there are issues, but come on. This isn’t argument. The only reason to include this thought is to reveal how little you think of me because of something I like.

    it’s just bizarre how hostile people are to being asked to use the one tool we have to separate content.

    Because it doesn’t work. The NSFW toggle is used to tag porn, spoilers, nsfl, and many other things, yet at the same time a ton of people use and expect it to work the way “not safe for work” implies. It’s a mess. We need arbitrary tagging.

    In the meantime using it more than necessary DOES slow down the already glacial growth of federated social media. That’s a fact, not an opinion. Suggesting it should be applied to an entire fucking fandom is not far off wishing that that the entire fandom not be allowed on the fediverse. And no, “it works fine for porn” is not a counter-argument. People looking for porn aren’t going to be avoiding the nsfw tag. They’ll head straight for it. Would you like to guess what they do if they find one of my communities instead of actual porn? They downvote.

    also you’re trying to conflate adult-targeted content with a long and entrenched history of sexism with music preferences, and I know you know that’s a false equivalency

    What long entrenched history of sexism? Weeb=sexist now? It seems to me you genuinely hate us. As a whole and individually. You want me hidden more than necessary because apparently the things I’m into make me sexist or worse. And/or my sharing the things I’m into, spreads this sexism, and worse.

    Seriously, are you actually claiming that having to view a couple anime girls before blocking the relevant communities, for which a convenient list is provided, is so dangerous and corrupting that it warrants the “warning label” that is nsfw being applied to every single related post?
