Tangentially related, but I’m reminded of the Good Writers Are Perverts manifesto, that espouses the idea, among others, that perverts that make art about their perversion make good art because they’re passionate about it, and the passion shows alongside the fetish and/or because of it.

Certainly worth a couple minutes of your time.
Wish these were articles, video is so slow.
That said: killing off porn loses tones of people every time. They dont want to admit that its what destroyed tumblr.
That’s part of the appeal for me. And that it’s more visual with more pictures than the average article.
But you can also increase the speed to 2x, then it’s faster (:
My opinion:
There are a lot of lessons we can learn from the downfall of tumblr for the Fediverse aswell. I am glad there are Mastodon communities which welcome explicit content creators. But some of the comments for that video suggest that they aren’t able to connect to people outside of that bubble, since these people’s instances might block NSFW ones.
In addition to that, blocking tags like #abuse is an awesome mental health feature which should definitely be embraced by the Fediverse and Lemmy in particular.
I think a lot of times that’s due to the risk of hosting potentially illegal federated content from nsfw instances.
yes, doesn’t change that it’s an issue.
