The liberation of sexuality from a strict moralistic framework provides such rich opportunities for communication, conversation, exploration, for understanding!
It can be an indulgence, a fantasy, a respite from restrictive social pressures, as discreet or proud as you like, without having to be a dirty secret. It can remain a guilty pleasure without needing to carry the baggage of shame. It can be the emotional scratching post that spares the couch and curtains.
There's this broad, derisive conception that explicitly sexual art is a thing people consume desperately, like sneaking a cigarette. People think of porn as a debased medium of cruelty and shame because the historic institutions of puritanical, patriarchal, cisheteronormity have tarred all consideration of sexual expression with that brush.
There's a wonderful comic graphic by Sen Grisane that provides a great visualization for this.
What the general public sees as the attractive and repulsive spectrum of sexuality is a severely and intentionally mis-calibrated instrument. We see acceptable sex and harmful sex, but the thing is so chopped-up and compressed that huge sections are missing or unrecognizable.
When anything but procreative sex is considered immoral and recreational sex and casual expressions of sexuality are driven underground, a vast amount of human context is buried alive. The binary of good sex vs bad sex erases so many ways a person can be. By burying the ways that real people express, connect, and protect themselves, and the ways they consider and care for others, we reduce the expression of sexuality to whatever is bland, bizarre, or forceful enough to show through.
For example, it's assumed that a normal, healthy person would have to be coerced into sex work, because what little we see of it is projected through a lens of crime and exploitation, as an unscrupulous opportunist selling a victim for profit. We've made it that way by removing what little assurance of safety, equal protection, and autonomy that workers in almost any other profession have rights to. By removing these rights, we also remove the expectation of accountability, safety, and professionalism that customers of almost any other profession have a right to.
It's assumed that only craven fiends and degenerate addicts engage with sex work or sexually explicit material because most everyone but those most visible participants has to do it on the down-low. This sharpens the double-edged sword by forcing ethical creators and consumers into the same ditch as the perpetrators of sexual exploitation and violence while providing cover and concealment for sex pests, predators, and their networks.
You make porn?! But you're not some sweaty degenerate!
It's so hard to belive these powerful people could be sexual predators! They don't act like perverts!
If you pay attention, you can't help but see how well these stereotypes serve to insulate powerful predators from consequences.
If you look to people who express their sexuality in sincere, mindful, empathetic ways, you see real quick how broken those stereotypes are. You see how important safety, and community, and care are. You see how much effort goes into insulating non-participants from the scene and insulating the community from dangerous people. You see how essential consent is, and that there are clear, inviolable safeguards in place for the moment that consent is withdrawn. You see how people take care of eachother when the line wasn't where they expected it to be, and respect when someone wanted more than the other could give. The illusion of power is shared, assumed, surrendered, but with the sacred understating that anyone who wants this to stop gains final authority. In the context of art, fiction, games, that authority is yours. The safeword is, I don't like this.
There's a profound difference between doing something with someone, and doing it to them. So much harm has been done in the idea of sex as something that can only be done to someone. It's a lesson larger than sex, but sex can be a damn good allegory for it.
Gender-prescriptivism relies heavily on this, declaring that one gender does and the other is done to. Deviation from those roles is called aberrant, unnatural, incorrect. Doing it willingly is weak, sick, or degenerate behavior. Again, it sorts the spectrum of human sexuality into correct and dangerous.
The moralization of sexuality also erases the expression of asexuality in any context but the monk, the fanatic, the outcast, the hermit, the genius, or the failure. It's ether heroic to be so devoted to your faith, your duty, your calling that you sacrifice this aspect of yourself to achieve it, or you're so incapable of achievement that even sex is beyond you. Why should a person have to be super or sub-human not to desire sex? Do we need a good reason to reject a traditional lever of control?
This burial and denial of unacceptable sexuality smothers so much about the natural ways humans can be. It robs us of knowing, of being known, of empathy, and respect. It robs us of connections, of expressions, of protections, and boundaries. Denying our autonomy denies freedom to and freedom from, our duty to others and ourselves, of our yes and no.
Acceptance of things we don't share, understand, or enjoy doesn't require us to participate or endorse them. It doesn't require a slippery slope where abuse and predation must also be tolerated. A more curious and fluid understanding of what humans can be empowers us to identify the roots of suppression, control, privilege, exploitation and joy! A more complete understanding of how we relate and interact empowers us to address the harm in what people do to others rather than what we imagine strangers do with each other.
Quote of the day
I’m seeing a lot of people saying this post changed their brain chemistry, and as a neuroscientist I wanted to say yes!!! Yes it does!
Wanting something requires dopamine signaling, but liking something doesn’t.
If you have a mental illness/disorder that affects dopamine, you might feel that you don’t want to do the things that you like. You do still like them. You will appreciate having done them.
Let your likes guide you.
(If you want to read more, here’s one experimental paper about it. https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC5171207/ This theory called the incentive-sensitization theory was originally created to explain behaviors in addiction but can be applied elsewhere as well)
Rewards are both ‘liked’ and ‘wanted’, and those two words seem almost interchangeable. However, the brain circuitry that mediates the psych
morning/night person is a false dichotomy because its impossible to have any energy at any point of the day
Not a morning or night person, but the human equivalent of a device with a wonky charging port spending the entire day trying to find the one position where the cable actually recharges the battery and holding it for dear life
All true and concisely put, I'd only quibble over "the language of the North has 'ended up' dominating the country and 'pushed out' other languages."
It makes it sound like this happened more or less organically but it very much didn't. Parts of the South were conquered in the Middle Ages, and then from the Enlightenment onwards there was an even more deliberate effort from the French government to erase regional languages. It wasn't the 'sense of needing a national identity' that 'drove' Occitan into the ground, it was official government policy.
Basically up until the Second World War children in school were punished for speaking their home language and signs would be put up, like "be clean, speak French," associating regional languages with lack of education, dirtiness and stupidity. That shaming only stopped because by then it had worked. Our languages weren't lost, they were killed.

Losing my mind over this article
This is dripping with so much venom, i love it
I'd also like to add "And i know for a fact that some people from the group being hurt have also bought and played Dog Kid University: The Game. This of course makes them representatives of the whole category making it ok for me to do what i wanted to do anyway, because it's not like they are actual people capable of mistakes and acting harmfully towards their own community out of the same reasons an outsider might. They did it, so it's fine :)"

The collected gerbl week 2026 grables.
The first gobler is bonus because some criminal decided gabble week started on a sunday.
hi guys! discord is doing a survey on how people would like ai to be integrated into discord. take it and say fuck no to every question. when you get to "in general, how do you feel about discord inegrating ai features?", respond that you would actively get everyone you know off of discord and wouldn't pay for nitro or other shop items if they added ai features.
watch out for the trap! there's ONE QUESTION where the last option *isn't* the max 'no AI' option, read each part carefully to be sure
But when I say the “wholesome and funny” YouTube short I have been handed of students surprise showing their teachers 10+ year old photos of themselves and most them were emo/goth in some way and every single one now has medium brown beach waves and is wearing head to toe beige and immediately screams and hides the photo like it’s the most embarrassing thing in the world is a hallmark of a deeply insidious tendency to associate socially acceptable WASPy aesthetics with maturity and responsibility and perpetuates the idea that everyone grows up, “gets right” and becomes the most digestible unobtrusive heterosexual I’m “taking it too seriously”
“It’s not that serious” oh but it issssss because every day we perpetuate the idea that non-conformity of any kind to the white straight middle class standard is inherently immature and gets “left behind” when someone becomes a socially acceptable adult
This idea that maturity is conformity is everywhereeee if you look for even a moment

If I see a company advertising with AI, it makes me lose trust in them and the services and goods they supply. If you’re too slimy and cheap to hire a voice actor for a 15 second ad or an artist to design promotional graphics, what other corners are you cutting? There was a nurse posting pictures of the AI generated advertisement his hospital posted everywhere and he was pointing out the errors in the image like the stethoscope having two sets of earpieces and the doctor’s fingers being wrong. I think if I walked into a hospital and saw that bullshit I’d be like “They’re charging me $80k for this procedure and not paying advertising people to do their job. Are they paying custodians to do their job? What else are they cheaping out on and could it be something that kills me?”
