reddig33 , in We need to talk more about Trump’s misogyny

Why? What difference would it make? If “grab ‘em by the pussy” didn’t change anyone’s mind, I seriously doubt talking about it more will change anything.

themeatbridge ,

Because it's an objective truth. We should talk about politics more, and people who support misogyny and bigotry should be made to feel bad about it. If it is impolite to discuss politics, the only voices you hear will be the impolite. It's not impolite to be intolerant of hatred and oppression. That's a false equivalence sold by the oppressors.

TOModera ,

Part of me agrees. But I feel like the point of the article is to say people should care. That nihilism sometimes triggers my depression.

I think back to who I was a decade ago, and I've grown as a person because people cared and told me I should care and explained why my views needed to improve. It takes a lot, and maybe a lot of people in the US won't give a shit about women and how to believe them, but maybe it changes a few people. Maybe they read Daniel's account and are horrified.

All I can do is hope. Or I'll be more depressed.

Breezy , in Marjorie Taylor Greene celebrates 50th birthday with bikini pics — gets brutal backlash
unexposedhazard ,

Imo this is the least outrageous thing she has ever done.

MIDItheKID , in Marjorie Taylor Greene celebrates 50th birthday with bikini pics — gets brutal backlash

I would imagine this was supposed to be in response to the whole "bleach blonde bad built butch body" thing.

I am certainly not suggesting MTG is some feminist icon but would this have happened if a man posted a picture in a bathing suit?

DerisionConsulting ,

Leopards, faces.

Glimpythegoblin ,

If Ted Cruz posted a swimsuit pic I think the Internet would vomit itself, so maybe.

His name is Rafael!!!!

ArbiterXero ,

Yeah this just seems stupid and low brow.

You have so much to go after and you go after her body?

Have some class, and more importantly pick a better target.

Zorque ,

Never underestimate peoples ability to sink to the lowest common denominator... if they see someone else do it first.

OlPatchy2Eyes ,

Closest thing I can think of is people memeing pictures of Elon Musk, Zuckerberg, and Bezos in swimsuits.

livus ,

Australia used to have a Prime Minister, Tony Abbott, who regularly appeared in tight speedos. There were some reactions around that.

Aqarius ,

Same for that time Putin went riding shirtless. IIRC the Now Show wrote a song about it.

Treczoks , in Nonconsensual AI porn is hated on the left and right. Can Congress act on it?

Good luck fighting that. Pandoras box has been opened. The cat is out of the bag. The horse has left the barn. Got it, Congress?

As long as AI engines are available and training material is easily accessible, an AI for about any purpose can be trained.

Catoblepas ,

I don’t think anyone believed this would render AI incapable of making nonconsensual porn. The point is to make creating it illegal.

chonglibloodsport ,

It’s not working for piracy. This would seem to be even more difficult to fight than piracy since it can be done on a computer all by yourself without connecting to any other computer or distributing any files.

Catoblepas ,

Again, the idea isn’t to render it physically impossible to occur or to stop it from ever happening. There’s probably not any law that fits either of those criteria. The point is to make it a crime. It shouldn’t be legal to make realistic nonconsensual porn of another person. If it’s discovered that you’ve done that, there should be legal consequences.

VaultBoyNewVegas ,

Good luck with explaining this to them. There are way to many people on Lemmy who don't give a fuck or make excuses for this problem.
