@blablarg18 I can tell you that from my experience with all things Meta (not just FB), they're incredibly biased against anything LGBT. For example, on the FB side of things, I have reported a number of posts containing very sexually explicit materials for violating the community standards (even since long before AI took over), and as long as it's hetero content, I have had to report the content at least a couple dozen times before they find it violated the standards. I'm not even talking a little nudity that could reasonably be argued as art... I'm talking things like a video clip of straight up hardcore fucking. By the same token, I've seen things like pictures that show a little bulge, but are otherwise extremely tame by comparison get reported all of ONCE, and they get taken down IMMEDIATELY. For some reason, it seems that if it's hetero, their restrictions are rather relaxed and lacking, but the moment the content is in any way even remotely homoerotic (such as suggestive but otherwise appropriate images of only a male), the content gets stricken quickly without a second thought. It just baffles my mind how we can see images, videos, etc of a guy and a girl engaging in some sort of sexually explicit activity, and it is deemed to be perfectly fine, and we can even see images or videos that involve only women, and it seems to be perfectly fine, but the moment the image or video depicts only a guy, or it depicts a guy and another guy, it immediately gets shut down as violating their community standards. Also, the degree of sexuality to the image seems to be wildly inconsistent between straight and gay (especially men only) content. For example, if it's a video of a guy and a girl in the woods where the girl is bent over with her hands against a tree getting raw dogged like no tomorrow, it's perfectly ok and needed to be reported for sexual activity more than two dozen times before finally getting flagged, but a simple image of two fully clothed men out on the street kissing each other, the image got flagged and removed right away. On the topic of the video and picture I used as an example, I actually took part in a FB wide protest because of how much traction that particular image managed to get. The idea and plot was to get as many people to share it as possible and to share it as widely as possible in protest that it got removed not by AI, but by what was confirmed at the time to be a HUMAN moderator, as they may be able to silence it from the OP, but they cannot silence it if EVERYONE shares it. So yes... I can say with absolute certainty that especially since FB moderation has been taken over exclusively by AI, they are absolutely biased against gays, and they promote a LOT of anti gay material. The same holds true for anti Christian content. You can bash Christianity as a whole, and you can even share anti Christian memes, and they're viewed as perfectly acceptable, but if you share a picture or a thought that in any way offends Islam, you get put on Metapause. They operate on a number of outrageous double standards where it's okay for one side to bash another, but as soon as the other side bashes back, they get the book thrown at them. It's also perfectly acceptable if sexually explicit content is hetero, or in a lot of cases, even lesbian, but the moment it's either gay, or it only depicts just a man, it's suddenly a no no. It's kind of disgusting actually because the standard should be the same no matter what side of the fence you're on. Either both sides should be able to do it, or neither side should be able to do it, but that's not how it works from my observation over the years.

@raphjd as late as 1960, many public swim baths had sex-segregated times & men swam naked. Unbelievable but true. as late as 1990, custom survived in a town near me. Anyway I'd love to see that come back, as well as male changing rooms reset to male biological sex.

Zajko charged for double murder of her parents. https://thepostmillennial.com/andy-ngo-reports-a-zizian-trans-death-cult-member-evaded-double-murder-charges-for-years-then-the-fbi-helped-make-a-shocking-breakthrough Michelle Jacqueline Zajko, 33, was charged in Delaware County, Pa., with multiple counts of first-degree murder, criminal homicide, conspiracy to commit murder, burglary and firearms offenses. In total, 15 felonies and one misdemeanor. She is accused of driving hours to the home of her parents Richard and Rita Zajko on the night of New Year's Eve 2022—the night of her 30th birthday—and murdering them. "It is piece after piece after piece of evidence that has been collected painstakingly over years," Delaware County District Attorney Tanner Rouse said Wednesday The case went cold for years as Zajko disappeared with members of the Zizians after she was arrested, questioned and released without charge in January 2023 near Philadelphia. The so-called Zizians are a transgender death cult linked to at least eight violent deaths. The group's leader is Jack LaSota, a man who identifies as a woman and uses the name "Ziz," among numerous other aliases. Its members are vegan left-wing transgender rationalists, many with elite educational backgrounds in science and mathematics. The group has frequently been compared to the Charles Manson cult. Zajko is a biological female who identifies as transgender and nonbinary. Jail records show she uses the name "Alex." The criminal complaint details the extensive investigative steps authorities took over more than three years to build the case against her. Investigators say the two SIG Sauer 9 mm hollow-point cartridge casings recovered at the crime scene matched ammunition found at Zajko's former residence Investigators say text messages recovered from the victims' phones revealed Rita Zajko had reached out to her daughter on the afternoon of Dec. 31, 2022, in an attempt to mend their strained relationship. Zajko never responded. Approximately nine hours later, Rita and her husband were dead. "It should be noted that it takes approximately 7.5 hours to drive from the defendant's residence located in Orleans, VT to ... Chester Heights Borough, Delaware County, PA," an investigator wrote in the affidavit. Zajko, a former bioinformatics researcher who interned for NASA in the Bay Area, wrote extensively on blogs about her hatred of "transphobes," right-wingers and Christianity. She posted frequently about "trans genocide" and how "fascists" were being empowered. "This is a child who killed her parents, who walked into her childhood home, took her mother to her childhood playroom, and executed her," Rouse said. Prosecutors have not stated a motive but...Family friends detail that Zajko was cold to her parents and cut off ties after she moved to California and became involved with the Zizians. Neighborhood surveillance cameras captured a vehicle pulling into the parents' driveway at 11:29 p.m. on the night of the killings. Moments later, audio recorded a voice yelling, "Mom!" followed by a second voice shouting, "Oh my God! Oh, God, God!" Nine minutes later, two figures were seen fleeing in a vehicle. A major breakthrough came more than two years later when Zajko was arrested alongside LaSota and Blank in rural western Maryland, where authorities recovered a cache of firearms and tactical gear in their box trucks that were converted to mobile homes. The three face dozens of charges in Allegany County, Md., including firearms and drug offenses. After that arrest, the FBI seized Zajko's mobile phone. Investigators allege they were able to recover a digital journal containing a list titled "things we fucked up," documenting what prosecutors say were mistakes the Zizians made while attempting to conceal the murders. "We became aware later on through phone analysis that she created what I believe is a list," Rouse said. "This included not getting rid of the shell casings that were found at the scene. This included not getting rid of the ammunition that was later recovered from her Vermont home that matched the shell casings found at the scene. This included not sending fake text messages from the phones they left in Vermont, leaving someone behind to send those text messages." Seven alleged Zizians, including Zajko, are currently jailed across three states on charges ranging from murder and attempted murder to firearms offenses. Among those killed in cases linked to the group are U.S. Border Patrol Agent David Maland, who was fatally shot during an ambush, and 82-year-old Curtis Lind, a key witness in a California Zizian murder prosecution who was assassinated in a brutal knife stabbing attack before trial. Most USA media remains silent on this stuff.

@frostycab said: what the fuck is up with Helix (or ex-Helix) models dying so young Drugs at minimum; and who knows if it's something more criminal? That "Skinny lost twink on drugs" aesthetic in gay porn, seems to cost human lives. It's been decades since I (for one) found it attractive.

100% in support of this - there should NEVER have been any confusion: Trans women (MTF) benefit from male genetics - even if they undergo gender "affirming" surgery (that is: even if their balls are cut-off!) - that is PATENTLY unfair to biological women. That it was allowed for 1 week, much less several years, is just unfair and, in my mind, unreasonable. Mind you, I have no objection to trans women in the ladies bathroom - I'm under no illusion that women are going into the bathroom to show off their vaginas (or penises) to each other... its just a bathroom, and the idea of a 2nd one for women is a "first world problem". 99% of women's restrooms in the 1st world have individual stalls that give each person a significant level of privacy. (99% of women's restrooms OUTSIDE the 1st world are just holes in the ground and are already shared with men ). That said, I draw the line when it comes to locker-rooms - where people are undressing & bathing. If you've HAD the surgery, and can pass for a female (albeit with surgical scarring) - when totally naked, then we can talk... but if you've still got a penis, you do not (perhaps yet) have the right to be in a women's locker-room. If you're trans and are uncomfortable in the "other" lockerroom, please ask for separate accommodations (usually, 1 or more coach's offices are in the same locations). COMMON SENSE if you ask me!

Shoe drops: IOC assigns trans-identified males into male sports. https://apnews.com/article/ioc-olympic-transgender-female-eligibility-520cd9cee152a312767a667acf77dbc8 AP, "Transgender women athletes banned from women’s Olympic events" - misleading headline. In reality, -MALE- athletes were rightly directed to male events, merely banned from female. & they should do it other way too - direct female athletes into female events & ban from male - No one cares, but ok they should. Some reports say, chromosome tests will be done. It's not instantly clear if male boxer Imane Khelif will be banned from his sick violence against women on international TV, but we can hope.

So, technically an Ephebophile, not so much a Pedophile... Just as illegal, and ESP as he knew the victim from a place of authority, nearly as bad. Not that sexually enticing post-pubescent children is OK - it is not - but there are degrees of evil... But people, you have to be able, as an adult, to separate thought and desire from action! When I was 19, I spent the summer (home from college) working as a lifeguard at a community pool. There was a girl who kept coming on to me - she was cute & sexy and I'd DEFINITELY have "done that". In fact, we were all set to go out on a Sat after work... UNTIL a co-worker clued me in that, while she looked 17 or 18, she was in-fact, only 14! (For clarity: I'm pansexual) That didn't make her less attractive - or less sexually enticing - but it DID mean there was NO WAY I would have acted upon that! In the end, I wound up hooking up with the only other MALE lifeguard who worked at that pool!
