    I thought they were already allowed… There’s tons of adult performers already on there showing full frontal nudity and pornography.

    As much as X can get bent The eradication of human sexuality from mass media culture is a clear sign of intense rot at the heart of our civilization. How can such a fundamental element of thr human experience can be so conspicuously absent for almost all art and media. A clear sign of the omnipresent censure and purge of dissenting opinion in our supposedly “free” society.

      How can such a fundamental element of thr human experience can be so conspicuously absent for almost all art and media.

      What are you talking about? Heaps of movies have sex scenes. Heaps of songs are about sex. There are heaps of books and other stories about sex. The internet is packed with sex stuff of all kinds. Advertisements in the street are obvious implicitly or explicitly about sex. So how can you say that sex is ‘conspicuously absent from almost all art and media’? Are you looking?

      Allowing explicit porn on twitter doesn’t make it ground-breaking in any way. It just changes the tone and target audience of the site, such that you will now see porn inserted into basically any conversation or topic.

        I should have clarified, freely available mainstream media and art. I don’t watch ads so I can’t say for sure, I don’t consider advertising to be part of art and media, more like a form of pollution on top.

        From what I’ve senn tge most you might get are suggestive allusions to sex. It’s just not treated as the everyday part of life that it is.

        By comparison, it is entirely overshadowed by violence and gore.

        Every new game that is released with a character dressed in even a slightly sexually suggestive way results in a rabid meltdown from braindead Twitter users. Payment processors like PayPal are forbidding the use of their services for NSFW content due to pressure from fundamentalist christian organizations like Exodus Cry, under the guise of “child safety”

          Yea but Greco-Roman paganism didn’t treat women as owned property of men like the Abrahamic faiths do. It’s not necessarily religion in total, it’s that the current dominant religions are extremely controlling and more about self-oppression for eventual reward than guidelines for a good life like most pagan sects

            right, which means it isn’t “religion” as a concept which is the problem.

            Also, sexuality is pretty commonly open in Hinduism, which is a pretty huge current religion.

            It isn’t a problem with “religion”.

              I was going to say, isn’t the Kama Sutra a Hindu text? We have a bunch of sex positions that may have been lost to time if it weren’t for the Hindu religion.

        So maybe just an old tradition that hasn’t died out yet ? A sharp edged piece of societal flotsam that we’re still dealing with ?

          His only religion appears to be financial technofeudalism. I guess the religious fundamentalists aren’t lucrative enough for him to enforce their commandments.

      Yeah, I’ll always give credit where credit is due, and no matter how much I detest Musk, this is a legitimately good move and I fully endorse it.

          it’s not arbitrary… there’s this whole thing with sexual harassment and a hostile workplace that makes porn a bad idea for a large diverse team….

          some reactions definitely go too far but it’s not arbitrary

            You make a good point, it"s definitly part of the outline of that social wound.

            Some people are so fragile and the topic that they consider mere exposure as an attack or harrasement.

            And whoever is most fragile seems to the decider for everyone, of what is forbidden.

            Really a powerful position to be in …

              i don’t really see being too fragile as a powerful position….
              it has definitely been abused by people pretending to be fragile… but the amount of very hostile, sexually aggressive people at many workplaces has made it this way, not the fragile people.
              work is a place people are dependent on to make money to survive, with people they have to see every day.
              a good friend of mine was a manager and very mildly cussed at a worker when they made a mistake… not even at her but just cussed as he was walking off….
              she went to h.r., said it was because he hated lesbians (he doesn’t, has a lesbian aunt and several lesbian friends).
              they fired him after ten years of being a good worker, working overtime or filling in whenever asked… never being late….
              just fired him over one person saying one thing.
              everyone else backed him up, but they didn’t care.
              ….
              unions are pretty good, btw.

                anecdotes aren’t data. even if this is true, which i don’t believe it is to be honest, it pales in comparison to the innumerable discriminatory practices towards women and all sorts of minorities. also even in your own friend’s probably distorted version of the events he’s in the wrong.

                  my point is sometimes it does get abused…. but it’s in place for good reasons

                  and the fact that you think you know whether my friend was in the wrong or not means that you’re not worth talking to
