A community for discussing events around the World
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Nothing says 'feminism' like limiting a sex worker's career options to branch out.
Wouldn't expect much more from a TERF paper.
She produces hair and makeup tutorials and lifestyle influencer content for the more than 4.6 million followers she has on Instagram and TikTok.
Interesting part to leave out in the headline.
Yeah the fact she has directly relevant popular makeup content seems important to mention.

Ah shit, has The Guardian platformed TERFs?
I'd be interested to see examples of that too.

Sorry about the Vice source, but it does publish the letter in full, complete with links to the problematic Guardian articles.
Yeah same. I've got a subscription but I'm going to yank that tout-de-fucking-suite if they're TERF-friendly
In fairness I've had a harder time finding more recent examples, but they've definitely platformed TERFs before.
Ugh, goddamnit. But at least that's 5 years old, so maybe they've changed? I can't remember running into anything in the 2-3 years I've been a subscriber, although it's definitely not like I've seen every single headline during that time.
The Grauniad is notorious for its insane opinion columns. Simply stay away from those and the reviews section.
Well now it can be a SWERF and TERF paper.
One day, I hope people can have a nuanced discussion of the porn industry. Sentiments like this are true (emphasis mine):
Kytsya frequently promotes the advantages of going into the adult content creation industry, promising TikTok followers that it can prove a lucrative career choice. “The thing about my job is if you go full out you can make enough money to start your own thing whether that’s buying houses or doing Airbnbs and investing,” she says.
And she properly hedges with:
She also offers practical advice to followers who are considering working in this world, encouraging them to make sure they get tested regularly for sexually transmitted infections. She acknowledges that there are “dangers” involved in the work, and recommends that girls “who have just turned 18” should not rush into the adult industry. “Take time to think about it before you do it.”
More than taking time, the industry needs protection against exploration. Hell, success often means becoming the exploiter. You may be kinder and more empathic doing so, but that's not garunteed.
Most young women aren't going to make the money she made and hard work may not be enough. Unionization is unlikely happen industry wide since there's a so many new women showing up all the time.
Finally, it's important to see that many women in the sex work industry are being traffic. Smart legislation and enforcement can and should be used.

Which would be great and should happen. Unfortunately, there has never been a good faith effort to regulate the porn industry in the US. It's always an attempt to eliminate it. I don't expect this to change anytime soon.
Sex toys, too.
Urban Decay has been a sinking ship for years now because they strayed from what made them so beloved. They used to have palettes with funky, grungy color stories, bold nail polishes, and tons of unique colorful single shadows. Somewhere along the way they became so boring and a lot of us who loved them have moved on.
What's going to attract teenagers to Urban Decay? It's not a clean girl aesthetic brand, and teenagers don't have the connection with it that their mothers likely did.
In addition to OnlyFans, this woman seems to also have a sizable TikTok following as a beauty content creator. She probably has the audience that Urban Decay wants to reach. I don't think it's a bad idea as a means of getting that audience's attention, I just wonder how much they'll be interested in Urban Decay's product line. Or maybe UD will make even more changes to their product line to attract teenagers. Which... go ahead, I guess, but it's also sad to see.
Any of you guys worn makeup? It's a serious pain in the ass and I admire anyone that's good at it. Won the office costume contest posing as a woman, and damn was I convincing! No one knew who I was! But Jesus the makeup was painful to maintain, had to have my girlfriend, who was trained in stage, to apply it.
It's an art, and if she's good at it, I'm impressed. Only had a few lovers (of dozens) who were skilled, not even 1 in 10 women were truly artful. One was masterful to watch! She'd hop out the shower and be good to go in minutes flat, could hardly tell she was wearing anything. My wife looks great with only a few minutes prep, lays in on nicely.
My 12-yo daughter is extremely girly, trying to figure it out. It's fucking hard! Need to get my wife to give her tips next time we have the kids.
Mac (owned by L'Oreal competitor Estee Lauder) has run promos with Stoya:

I'm sure L'Oreal will get a bunch of free advertising from the controversy.
So what?
Herding sheep.
Nose looks weird here
Ex-OF star who's had a change of heart or is she still doing that stuff?
Also, the fact that she's working for "Urban Decay" made me giggle a bit, lol.
Still making millions doing OF.
Well, I hope she enjoys the money.
There’s nothing wrong with working in pornography my mother was filming a creampie scene when she got pregnant with me so I have a making of me video.
You must thank the Lord every day that you weren't wiped up with a Kleenex and flushed down the toilet with your other brethren who didn't manage to make it inside! The Lord's grace is truly magnificent!
Saying "shocking" things online for upvotes does not constitute a personality. Grow up, man.
Oh how did you know I love being talked down to?
Can you do it again please?
