  • Lol you're funny. But I've never been to hooters, nor would think to take my kids there, if the emphasis of the restaurant is sexualizing women. But why do you bring that up? Are they walking around in thongs and nipple pasties at hooters?

  • I'm not trying to have a dishonest engagement. You're right. There's a lot of NSFW that isn't sexual in nature.

    The engagement I was trying to have is that kids are being involved with displays of sexuality. Seeing how it's not even a conversation to be had here is telling of the community I'm engaging with.

  • Bathrooms aren't locker rooms, but again thats not what I'm even referring to. I've taken my daughter into men's bathroom stalls. I could care less about your genitals. I do care about public displays of stripping, nudity explicitly revolved around sexuality, aimed with children being either the intended audience, or part of the audience. Things I've posted here already got removed but I'm pretty sure it's not too hard to find examples of children watching drag strip shows.

    I vote blue down the line. Get off the internet and realize that it's not Republicans alone that have issues with pedophilia and the lines being crossed around them.

  • You really think I'm talking about locker rooms? And do I need to point out that these have been male/female seperated?

  • Look, I just got my comment removed for unmarked NSFW content. It was a picture of drag expression with a child involved. My problem is that. I don't want any child to be devastated but just letting children be involved in unsafe for work expression for the sake of letting them have all the freedom is devastating in my eyes. And to hide behind some of the comments here that it's not sexual in nature I cannot believe it does not have a poor effect on the growing identity in children. This is where my "poor confused children" rhetoric comes from.

  • That's NSFW content? But I thought it's just innocent expression, safe enough for kids.

  • Are you referring to yourself? No one who loves their children wants to send them to conversion camp. There are definitely discussions to have regarding the proper medical treatments and psychological care and how the involvement of the state and legislature hurts more than helps. But I don't want the state being involved in how we raise our children. I don't want to change children or parents sending their kids to camp. But you can't pretend that parents and our communities aren't involved in the way a child is raised, how they grow mentally and encouraging strengths, and guiding them in a healthy way. Let kids be who they are and make sure they get the support they need.

  • Sure. Different conversation I agree. I wasn't commenting to the original post. Just that the idea that transgenderism and the issues surrounding it arent hard discussions with people outside of the community here is irrational.

  • I guess. I never had nor will ever pay for premium, but isn't there premium content? How's that any different than paying for patreon videos of content creators? YouTube just consolidated it.

  • I guess. And you might be right. But the end goal of enshittifying everything is going to bottle out into unusable tech and the death of innovation.

  • I'm referring to nudity and expressing sexuality in front of children. Drag and children. Parades of expression with children involved. Seeing essentially naked men and women and children being encouraged to interact in it.

  • Lol why are you getting down voted? Jeez lemmy users are sensitive about paying for an entertainment service.

  • I really don't think they understand this... If an ad starts playing on YouTube I just turn it off and see why my ad blocker isn't working. If it doesn't work I simply don't watch the video. I had no desire to switch to Firefox because Chrome was just working for me, but then it didn't work. There's no way in hell I'm sitting here with my adhd addled brain, with my 4 year old phone in my hands watching for 30 seconds why I need a brand new acura.

    The only time I've ever willingly watched an ad was tiktok. Because they know I can simply swipe and skip it, but sometimes the sponsored content is creative and entertaining.

  • Imagine taking the technical and stubborn creme of the crop redditors and that's who's mostly on lemmy. It used to be those who wanted an open source community, but it got it's user bumps during the reddit exodus. I would have never heard of lemmy if it wasn't for the fact I used reddit exclusively through the redditsync app. And when that shut down I came here naturally on the backbone of the developer going here.

    I've been here since. The community isn't bad. I still get responses on niche things like gardening and fish tank related issues I had. It's just 3 comments vs 30. But somehow it's better. Because on reddit I can't even get a post posted half the time, and the other half I find out I'm banned from that sub because of a comment I made years ago on a completely unrelated post on a sub I don't even know.

  • The last panel is from a comical arrest of a gentleman.

  • I'm doing my part.

  • Why?
