Reddit purges all NSFW subreddits
(pawb.social)
Something big is happening, as Reddit seems to have purged literally every NSFW sub they know. Reason is always "unmoderated" despite some of the banned subreddits being fully moderated.
Edit: seems to have been a bug in automation (thanks @lefty7283@lemmy.world):

It's still a good reminder on how quickly a community (or communities) thousands of people enjoy and in some cases rely upon can disappear.
r/transgender_surgeries wasn't porn. It was a community outlet for results so people could understand what to expect. Queer folk always get swept up with porn, cishet only see us as a "kink" and assume our existence is entirely sexual.
It's fucking infuriating.
You... see who's in charge, right? Republicans always target LGBTQ+ folks for "pornographic" violations.
This is the whole point of these porn bans is to remove queer people from the internet. The porn cover just allows it to happen. So whenever you see anything about porn bans think queer ban first and then some porn removal that comes right back
The old ass fascists trying to hold together their plutocracy suppress anything that goes against their patriarchal values.
Even looking at it as a fetish, trans porn has been skyrocketing in popularity

And this terrifies right wingers
The current patriarchy sees non-binary people as a threat to their heirachies. If the line between man and woman gets blurred then we start questioning why we aren't all actually equal, and that leads to us removing them from power.
Really anything that shows or hints that any part of their "natural" order is something created. Gender is a big one but anything
it's telling that they target trans content; but leave gay content alone.
Gay people are on the chopping block for sure, just a bit farther down
They knew that their attacks on gay people weren't as popular as they once were so they are taking the exact same tactics and language and moving it towards Trans people. It both predictable and sad at the same time
it's sad, but expected from conservatives; the real sadness is an "ally" like biden who didn't enact the equal rights amendment that would help protect trans people from the legal version of this shit and then very publicly pretended that he did.
Why are people still talking about Biden? He's not the president and I thought we all agreed he was a feeble brained old centrist who needed to gtfo the way. Living rent free etc.
They lost the chance to scapegoat the gays after they failed to in the 80s during the AIDS epidemic
Now there's too many gay people in the population to keep them down.
Once we get over this hurdle the same will be true for Trans people.
Well if we made more gay people, let's just make more trans people. Problem solved!
I'm doing my part ;3
It's a shame. I'm not trans. I'm a cis male and I have no desire to be female. But I live in a very trans friendly community and as such I have many trans friends and they need outlets. I joined a meetup group which inadvertly became a trans safe space (original topic was anime) and many trans people just joined as it was the one space where they weren't judged. We just did it in the way of anime, like their only safe space is something not trans releated and this is despite living in a friendly city. I will be an ally to all my trans friends and support them in this time of need.
I'm currently discussing with people about mirroring it somewhere on lemmy, but there is also Transbucket which already exists as its own independent website.
I mean, ffs. #notallcishet? I don’t get how people who are being oppressed and all lumped together under one description (which you all definitely are) can be so nonchalant throwing around broad strokes like that.
Can you please learn and understand that when people are frustrated they often use a little hyperbole? It's very selfish to respond to people like this.
Lol was that hashtag ironic? You know "not all men" is frequently referenced as a critique about men who can't hear criticism of gender equality because "not all men"? As a cishet dude: calm down, their point is valid and your reaction is cringe
Ludicrous. But fuck it. As you were 🙄
Well it is genitals but the purpose is entirely different. I don’t agree with it but I can at least see the logic.
By that "logic", all obgyn's are sex workers. It's shit justification for bigotry and shouldn't be given any credence whatsoever.
Not sure I follow the logic since an OBGYNs job is not get you off.
If they are banning NSFW images, then that’s why.
Like I said the purpose of those images in the trans subreddits serve an educational purpose. But you probably shouldn’t be viewing it at work. If they are banning nudity, that’s nudity.
Like I said I don’t agree with the ban hammer, but it’s consistent. However, in my opinion, all it should be left as is regardless of the purpose.
Neither is trans people posting the results of surgery.
This entire line of thinking is contradictory, nonsensical and unhelpful.
I was replying to comment the “OBGYNs are sex workers” comment. Tran surgery pics are very useful and not porn.
If you can’t follow that logic I’m not sure what to do.
