i love this image because not only is it accurate but also every time i see it i subconsciously scan the image to make sure its not somewhere i know. because everywhere in england looks like this. could be literally anywhere.
I was just thinking about the old Japanese censorship laws that gave birth to tentacle porn…
So for anyone not in the know, the Japanese government decided to fight perversion with censorship.
Specifically you weren’t allowed to draw penises.
So they drew things that WEREN’T penises instead. Like tentacles. Fast forward to today and tentacle porn is an entire standalone genre with thousands upon thousands of examples and enjoyers.
The attempt at censorship did not quell perversion, it only caused it to mutate.
And now I’m thinking about tumblr’s decision to ban porn and of all the people leaving captions under videos of heavy machinery and industrial accidents like “I need someone to do this to me” and “this wouldn’t fix me but it would help” or “everything reminds me of her”
i like the phrases “it’s not for me,” “it’s not my thing,” and “i’m not the target audience” because they’re the most concise way to express “this thing that you enjoy has merits but idgaf about it” without being aggressive
honestly discord removing the four digit id code at the end of usernames still remains as one of the most baffling things any site has done with their usernames. not having to have every user find a unique name for themselves seems like such a logical thing to allow with how big many sites are, and discord had the system in place since the beginning. but apparently that’s too confusing and making the entire userbase select a new name is in fact the best solution. insane behavior
