Today I Learned
What did you learn today? Share it with us!
We learn something new every day. This is a community dedicated to informing each other and helping to spread knowledge.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must begin with TIL. Linking to a source of info is optional, but highly recommended as it helps to spark discussion.
** Posts must be about an actual fact that you have learned, but it doesn't matter if you learned it today. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.**
Rule 2- Your post subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your post subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding non-TIL posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-TIL posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
For further explanation, clarification and feedback about this rule, you may follow this link.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.

Always interesting when discussing porn and someone immediately tells on themselves.
Like this isn't the 1980s, you can can watch the only fans of a trans person masturbating, no one's forcing you to click "muscle man destroys that bussy" again.
"For straight men sex is about power and dominance" okay, cool we're just going to generalize about whole demographics now. Go on, say something about asian drivers of some shit. Go biggot it up elsewhere with this stuff.
Also, sorry, if you're jerking off to trans porn (which is usually people with penises): You're NOT straight! Like get real, a dude jerking off to a dick is NOT straight it's like the definition of being gay... And also porn is about fetishizing. That's just how it is, everyone on earth has something hot about them. That called being human.
We're all just intelligent animals, at best this conversation is two birds chirping at each other... And most people aren't even clicking trans categories. This isn't most "straight" men. It's a small minority.
What's more trying to villify them just represses these closetted queers and self-hating Republicans more. Just accept them. It stops them being so evil if we can help them stop self-hating.
...and what about BDSM anyways? Why is that porn okay if you're so freaked out about some trans person playing sub for their partner whilst some queer guy pretending to be straight sits on the cuck chair hating himself.
It's a fantasy world. Let people have/do their weird ass porn, don't pretend that it has some existential crisis of morality attached (so pearl clutching). I love it how sex positivity and being against kink shaming immediately gets thrown at the window when someone starts imposing their morality.
People having their little favourites in quiet desperation - who gives a shit? It's part of how people fall in love develope empathy for people they claim to see as dirty... Have self realizations about who they are. Who humanity is. It's happened throughout time.
Humans who can't accept human patterns are hilarious. Anyways, I'll let you get back to your morality panic parade or whatever this is. Don't forget you're saving the planet! ...such a self-worth turn on!
P.S Just remember that thing you like, whatever it is - is dirty and wrong too... And makes you orgasm for some reason. That's how sex work. You're just participating in the species culture in your own way. It all comes down to the same thing - engorged overstimulation. But maybe you're having trouble none of my business.
*The one valid complaint here might be that Capitalism and anti-trans cultures force trans people into porn. But that's a problem with Capitalism... Which I'll note: you didn't mention. Redistributive politics should outrank recognition (identity) politics. Because it's the true cause of most of what people complain about. In closing: complaining about human nature and historical/sexual/cultural patterns kinda silly, complaining about Capitalism... Is more likely to actually produce something that meaningful changes things.
