    My guy, trans women are real, objectifying depictions of them in fiction are imaginary. If you make a stereotypical and dehumanizing representation of a real group of people, I’m afraid that you can’t just say “well, I made it up,” and dissuade any criticism of how this relates to real world politics and its violence. Incredible porn-brained reasoning here.

    edit: really starting to notice the influx of redditors on here.

      Lemmy isn’t as trans-woke as it used to be. At least Lemmy World. All the major communities are basically Reddit. And the mods are just as power trippy.

        Yeah, men typically show up once something gets more populated and then act like they’ve always owned it. I wonder where they would learn to think like that and if it is at all connected to transmisogyny 🧐

        It was just a trans power trip before, heh, at least there’s less of annoying people like Ada or the blahaj sect, who disserve the cause

      Why are you assuming the depiction would be dehumanizing? Just how constrained do you want porn artists and their viewers to be? Bigoted and hateful porn exists, but so does porn with a progressive message, and the distinction is not which groups of people have been depicted.

      If you want to focus on the word and move the euphemism treadmill along because it’s become associated with offensive stereotypes, that’s understandable, but you’re probably not getting any closer by calling people r*dditors just for saying it. As porn tags go I think ‘futanari’ is overall on its way out, for instance you won’t find it on the tag lists of e621 posts because the word is aliased to other tags and not used directly.

        The right-wing wants to ban us from public life because they believe a woman having a penis is inherently pornographic, because that’s literally their only exposure to us. It’s not just about the euphemism treadmill, the way porn portrays us is actively making our lives worse. We’re overly sexualized to the point that they believe they need to protect their children from us. It is dehumanizing.

        Porn doesn’t have to be this way, but to fix it there would need to be a total transformation of the entire industry and media landscape. It’s a serious problem and no one wants to confront it, because they like their porn and don’t want to give anything up.

          That’s all fair, and I can see how right wing porn memes contribute to that kind of problem. Trans women need more non-pornographic representation and not be automatically treated as fetish objects. Still, I think it’s relevant that this is about something someone was saying about furry porn, which as a whole has pro-LGBT politics.

            I don’t think the politics of the porn can actually address the root problem, which is that we’re seen as inherently pornographic. It’s probably less bad for the porn to have good politics, but I don’t know if that’s actually the best solution to the problem. We need a lot more non-pornographic representation, but we probably also need less pornographic representation along with it.

            The politics of the porn might even be irrelevant to the problem, because the problem is that our existence is X-rated. Whether the porn has good or bad politics won’t actually change whether or not they believe we need to be kept away from children.

              I don’t know how much it would actually effect it either way but it definitely determines whether whatever narrative and characterization is present implies it. If it’s furry porn it is way less likely to have the typical hentai theme of woman + penis = uncontrollable sexual aggression for instance.

        porn-brained gooner: “Why do you assume my futa porn is dehumanizing, huh? Just because this trans woman is drawn explicitly to make my brain and pp go gaga doesn’t mean she’s being dehumanized, she’s a futa, so, that’s what they’re meant to do.”
        Shuddup dude. Shemale and tranny porn is bad too btw, don’t freak out.

          Futa is not trans. Futa girls were not assigned male at birth. It’s a different thing entirely.

      I’d say equating people’s fantasies with real people is the real dehumanizing thing. Rational people are able to separate fantasy and reality… why arent you?

        “Listen pal, just because you think my blackface is making fun of black people, that’s on you. This is my own dark-urban elf character, Tyronicus, who just happens to also have red lips and is only in my story to be a member of a criminal organization which dark-urban elves like him love to do, that isn’t based on anything in reality, and you’re racist if you think so. It’s also called gaslicking, BTW.”

        I don’t know how you people can take yourselves seriously.

          Nice rage baiting. Almost had me for a second, but nobody can be this detached from reality. Anyway, have a good day. I’m gonna crank one out to my futa porn on your behalf.

            I know you chuds love soyjokes or whatever, I had exactly one on hand that flashed in my memory when I read this desperate plea for a woman’s attention.
