I gotta say, @siridahl.com was banging on pots and pans about this. Not only does sex work lead the charge in new media (DVDs and BluRay) it’s also the canary in the coal mine for conservative bullshit.

Support sex work even if you’re a prude or pay for it later.
LOL all those antiwoke conservative gamers voted for this.

there's an episode of The Simpsons where Marge tries to get a violent cartoon pulled from the airwaves, only to discover that the people backing her aren't going to stop at just the art that *she* doesn't like, and that supporting artistic freedom means accepting discomfort.

It aired in 1990.

There's no anomaly here. People, globally, volunteer their time to powerful public goods the moment they're not actively terrified that they'll lose their home, their food, and their freedom. Which means that capitalism requires us all to live in fear, always - because it can't compete with free.
“Wikipedia is this economic anomaly. In many ways, it’s sort of magical that people will just volunteer without explicit economic incentives to create artifacts that are meant to share knowledge with everyone in the world”

I think it’s time to bring my most viral tweet over from the bad place.
