it would be cool if websites let you be an adult on them. the advertisers and payment processors need everything to be Family Friendly though and their definitions of family and friendly are absolutely fucked. but since they're in charge of the Internet now, no one is allowed to be an adult. tiktokers say things like "unalive" and "seggs" because they know death and sex are too adult for online. online is for idiot babies only now because they're easier to market to

nickyflowers replies:
oh im sorry you're a trans adult? super ban. you are super banned for life. you have upset Visa's feelings. Mastercard is throwing up in the corner. how could you do this to Google Ads?

The companies doing this are americans and americans are pussies who think sitting in sauna naked with your same-sex family members is traumatic but watching endless gore is fun. The mindless religious zealotry, their puritan ancestors and lack of separation between church and real life is to blame.

[–] shani66@ani.social 16 points 18 hours ago

I blame the rise of nu-puritanism on Google and payment processors. It's a load of bullshit that people can't even have negative feelings these days.

[–] PeteWheeler@lemmy.world 32 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

Yup.

If I can't say basic words and facts like, this woman was raped, this man died, etc.

I just don't use the website in any meaningful way.

[–] SippyCup@feddit.nl 15 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

When I was a kid in Yahoo chat rooms... I saw things man.

These kids don't know.

Well the 4chan kids know but these normal kids don't know.

Imagine these little faggots in an Xbox 360 COD lobby.

(I am gay so I can say that word. You can’t, and actually, neither can I (Twitter gave me a three day ban for it))

Just learn to speak russian cause russians can use every slur under the sky and they do in almost every sentance. Double standard.

[–] fibojoly@sh.itjust.works 1 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

If you're American you probably need to learn Russian anyway these days. Might as well.

[–] endeavor@sopuli.xyz 1 points 3 hours ago

On one hand it's rude not to learn the mother tongue of the country where you live. On the other hand not learning the mother tongue of the coutnry you've lived in all your life is peak russian culture.

[–] Diplomjodler3@lemmy.world 37 points 1 day ago (2 children)

The US religious fundamentalists have managed to impose their fucked up values on the world. Calling it "family values" was always a lie.

[–] endeavor@sopuli.xyz 1 points 3 hours ago* (last edited 3 hours ago)

Hurting someones feelings or being offended is the worst thing an american could ever go through. It absolutely tanks ad revenue.

[–] melpomenesclevage@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 22 hours ago* (last edited 22 hours ago) (1 children)

these people cannot be a part of society. put them on an island with no minerals and let them live in log cabins and fuck their children and do patriarchy all day.

or maybe you think that's evil and unkind to the children, and they should just be killed and the children freed. whatever.

[–] tacofox@lemm.ee 2 points 7 hours ago

Peter Thiel is trying okay? Give him a break, these things take time… and Greenland (New Zealand said no)

[–] muxika@lemm.ee 17 points 22 hours ago

Fediverse and DNS sinkholes FTW. Any way I can avoid becoming someone's money is nice.

[–] AVengefulAxolotl@lemmy.world 7 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

Yeah, I dont understand either. Why the fuck cant you say suicide? When someone kills themselves, thats suicide, not 'unalive'.

Whats next, people cant even say 'unalive'?

[–] nieminen@lemmy.world 5 points 10 hours ago

It's because the app reportedly limits and is more selective with videos that contain certain words. Death, rape, suicide, homicide, genocide, murder, etc. it can also pull your video. They don't do it because they are sparing anyone's feelings, their saying it that way to avoid their videos being taken down it hidden.

I've been saying for years that the advertiser-friendly neo-puritanicalism that was infecting the left was a trojan horse for conservatism, and then here we are.

[–] JuxtaposedJaguar@lemmy.ml 11 points 1 day ago (3 children)

How was it infecting the left?

[–] Vespair@lemm.ee 14 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

Insistence on decorum, general anti-sex sentiments, curtailing of language to adhere to advertiser-friendly standards, to name a few.

[–] JuxtaposedJaguar@lemmy.ml 2 points 11 hours ago (2 children)

I think all of that is true when it comes to mainstream public events, but bath houses are still a thing and queer people are still having a lot of sex. Playing to your audience is just strategic.

[–] endeavor@sopuli.xyz 1 points 3 hours ago

Bath houses are terrorism and queer people are illegal now in us.

[–] Vespair@lemm.ee 3 points 10 hours ago

I don't really understand what you're trying to say, if I'm being honest.

I will say though that having sex and being pro-sex are two extremely different things, and the existence of one does not in any way imply the existence of the other.

[–] melpomenesclevage@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 22 hours ago

kink@pride discourse was the first time I saw that.

[–] shani66@ani.social 8 points 1 day ago

C'mon, you don't have to look very hard to find puritanical, anti-sex 'leftists'

Relatively easy fix though. Get away from advertiser supported platforms and use community supported ones.

[–] green@feddit.nl 3 points 9 hours ago (2 children)

Until the community supported platform becomes an advertiser supported one. Remember they said this same exact thing when moving from Facebook to Reddit.

Running is not going to save the online community. People have been running for the last 30 years, and it led us to some of the darkest times we've seen in 100 years. Instead we need to fight back and strategically retreat. Change the incentive structure - make advertisers absolutely miserable, and those who leech from advertisers should be similarly flogged.

[–] endeavor@sopuli.xyz 1 points 3 hours ago

Normalize supporting software and sites through donations rather than ads.

If your community dies since nobody supports it, it was shit anyway.

[–] rarbg@lemmy.zip 1 points 7 hours ago

Wot

First of all, who moved from Facebook to Reddit?

Second of all, both of those platforms are literally the same. Corporate owned garbage. They didn’t move anywhere. When people say move, they mean to decentralized activitypub software which can’t be corporate controlled.

[–] SaltyIceteaMaker@lemmy.ml 21 points 1 day ago (4 children)

funnily enough on tiktok you can say "fuckass" but you cant say someone's intelligence is akin to that of a toaster or that someone is stupid. i have also seen the n word multiple times
