  • conflicting canon

    There is no such thing as a “canon”, generally speaking. There are several stories in which part of what makes them good is how well they connect with each other, for example, the books by Tolkien or Asimov, but, to cite another example, the viewer of Doctor Who has to turn a blind eye to the immense amount of contradictory events that confront each other over the course of 60 years. Which is not to say that there is no problem in writing something that decharacterizes the character or universe of the story (Doctor Who’s Timeless Children, Zack Snyder’s Batman, etc.), or that compromises the logic that the author himself chose to follow throughout the story (Star Wars’s Sequels), but, objectively speaking, the only problem this produces is poorly written shit, because, realizing that there is no canon, the next person to write something has complete freedom to ignore the past shit.

    I think it sucks that the ZA/UM people split up the way they did, but if each of these studios wants to make their own sequel to Disco Elysium, whether it’s spiritual or not, I can and will appreciate them individually and with the relationship they want to establish with Disco Elysium, there being no need for them to be coherent with each other.








  • When you responded to @SlothMama@lemmy.world, you said that you were against all porn.

    Yes, and I also didn’t suggest banning pornography or anything like that. If you think that my statement alone that I am against pornography threatens pornography as a whole, you are greatly overestimating my influence.

    You simply generalized all sex work as harmful to the worker/performer.

    It is a convention, at least as I understand it, that when we are talking colloquially about a phenomenon, we are talking about how that phenomenon generally happens, even if we don’t use the word “generally” or something equivalent, since it is common sense that for everything there is at least one exception. If you feel like your case doesn’t fit into any of the issues I’ve outlined, with all honesty in my heart: good for you. However, most cases are not that lucky. Exception, instead of contradicting the rule, proves it, otherwise, it would not be an exception, it would be the rule itself.




  • I linked an article that talks about the problem in general, two studies that talk about specific subjects and cases and an article that talks specifically about the content of porn films (I corrected the link, I was linking another text, not the one where the information originates ). There is exception for everything. Despite your individual experience, most pornography consumed does not involve direct compensation from viewers to actors to begin with. I do not aim to talk about prostitution and pornography in its entirety, but in general.

    But anyway:

    I was probably going to jerk off anyway

    Yet, you only streamed because you needed to pay rent, or didn’t you?


    Also, I did not propose immediately anything that would threaten the activity in the way you practiced it,on the contrary, banning pornographic networks would possibly encourage this type of pornography. If we got to a state where most porn was like this, we would have made a huge progress.
