Something big is happening, as Reddit seems to have purged literally every NSFW sub they know. Reason is always "unmoderated" despite some of the banned subreddits being fully moderated.

Edit: seems to have been a bug in automation (thanks @lefty7283@lemmy.world):

It's still a good reminder on how quickly a community (or communities) thousands of people enjoy and in some cases rely upon can disappear.

Queer folk always get swept up with porn, cishet only see us as a “kink” and assume our existence is entirely sexual.

This is the whole point of these porn bans is to remove queer people from the internet. The porn cover just allows it to happen. So whenever you see anything about porn bans think queer ban first and then some porn removal that comes right back

    it's telling that they target trans content; but leave gay content alone.

    They knew that their attacks on gay people weren't as popular as they once were so they are taking the exact same tactics and language and moving it towards Trans people. It both predictable and sad at the same time

    it's sad, but expected from conservatives; the real sadness is an "ally" like biden who didn't enact the equal rights amendment that would help protect trans people from the legal version of this shit and then very publicly pretended that he did.

    Why are people still talking about Biden? He's not the president and I thought we all agreed he was a feeble brained old centrist who needed to gtfo the way. Living rent free etc.

    The damage he allowed to happen doesn't magically disappear once he left office

    The damage they've all allowed going back decades. He's bought and paid for just like every other pol. None of them are on our side and shouldn't be treated like they are.

    the narrative during the 2020 election about biden on this issue was that the was the most progressive president we've ever had. american voters are proned to against accepting the reality of what you just wrote because of narratives like this and there will be no alternative narrative if we don't keep reminding each other of this action and its direct impact on this issue.

    They lost the chance to scapegoat the gays after they failed to in the 80s during the AIDS epidemic

    Now there's too many gay people in the population to keep them down.

    Once we get over this hurdle the same will be true for Trans people.

    Well if we made more gay people, let's just make more trans people. Problem solved!

    This is literally what right wingers accuse trans people trying to engage with kids in public of doing. Like trans story time, or trans teachers. That they're going to trans their children, like it's some kind of vampire curse.

    The old ass fascists trying to hold together their plutocracy suppress anything that goes against their patriarchal values.

    Even looking at it as a fetish, trans porn has been skyrocketing in popularity

    And this terrifies right wingers

    The current patriarchy sees non-binary people as a threat to their heirachies. If the line between man and woman gets blurred then we start questioning why we aren't all actually equal, and that leads to us removing them from power.
