THIS is Cyberbullying Divinity et al.

Heyo,

For all of my feminist friends on YouTube, we've known how those who disagree with us immediately use what FistfulofDicks calls the 'shut up' tactic. The 'shut up' tactic in most cases involves beating on the keyboard and typing in the word 'Bully' on several comment sections. It reminds me of media psyops when all the anti-feminist, sex-positive circle jerk this mantra.

In this post I want to point out to the long list of sex positive anti-feminists what REAL cyberbullying is since they don't seem to have a good handle on it.

An 11 year old girl named Jessi was recently attacked by 4chan trolls. According to Gawker:

Someone prank called her. According to Encyclopedia Dramatica, pranksters spammed her Facebook and MySpace accounts, had pizzas delivered to her house and were considering sending call girls off Craigslist to the address. (Encyclopedia Dramatica currently has a three part section on "How to troll" Jessi: 1) "There are pics of her holding her boobs" 2) "Tell her to kill herself" 3) "Tell her dad that we are going to beat her up.") Slaughter's information and videos also shot through tumblr, aided by the blogging platform's reblogging system.
All this over an 11 year old girl who is trying to find an identity and growing up online. That's the kicker: Growing up online.

Maybe in a further post I will deconstruct this new way of growing up and what it means for young people and our society in general but I think just exposing it for what it clearly is: cyberbullying, will have to do for now.

Here are some YouTube comments left about Jessi:

WE SHOULD ARREST YOU BAD PARENTS FOR LETTING YOUR PRETEEN SHOW CLEAVGE AND HER BRA AND WEAR MAKE UP

no one scared of ur dad honey and u shouldnt wear a bra and TRYed But failed because u have no boobs skank

she needs to pull up her shirt slut..

Everyone stop feeling sorry for this bitch, watch the videos she made before.
We had to teach her a lesson before she became a camwhore, and did more stupid shit.

TOO SOON
TOO FAR
TOO FAT
glock that bitch up

camwhore that got pwnd?

In these comments it's clear they think of this 11 year old as a whore. They also objectify Jessi by talking about her developing breasts. It's as if this young girl is supposed to conform to some male idea about WHEN it's ok to experiment with makeup. In other words, when it's ok to start transitioning into a woman. This is social preening. This is society forcing Jessi to learn the rules of how to be feminine and what it will cost if she doesn't modify herself and her behaviour.

For those sex positive anti-feminists who call social constructionists cult members, I can think of no better way to give you the middle finger than to SHOW you how this works. There's no nature involved here. This is social grooming 101.

Finally, here are the results of cyberbullying on Jessi and her family:

I Had A Dream...No, I REALLY Did!

My Grandparents were having this huge party and all their neighbours decided they would all have parties too.

Now in my Grandparents backyard is a staircase, a rather high one, that starts at the ground and goes all the way up.

Now imagine it to be made out of glass and surrounding the backyards it was a harbour with lights everywhere.

The staircases glowed with tiny lights. There were different coloured lights every where you went. It was like an amazing glass city on the harbourfront.

It came time to eat and all these people from all cultures sat down at this huge table and we had food from all cultures being passed around.

You know who was there? Divinity!

She kept her distance though because she'd been graciously invited and this was the party of the year to be invited to. So she sat away from me but I kept an eye on her.

We feasted on food from around the world. All the people who were friends with my grandparents were happy to see me. I can even tell you what I was weraring. I had these pasted suit pants, like punjabi dancing pants that were crinkly and would bow out at the hips. I also had a simple cotton shirt on and wore a scarf, a light coloured one, around my head like a head band.

After dinner we went down the glass stairs into the yards of other neighbours and some of them weren't as nice as my grandparents but I was cordial anyway until I ran into a couple women who were meanspirited and cruel.

The harbour boat was in dock but I didn't realize that it actually went on harbour tours that lasted over an hour.

To get on board this boat you had to get in a plexiglass tunnel, sit on these wooden or plastic sliders and take a journey through the plexi tunnels to get on board. The boat also had a way for people to sit around the perimeter of the boat simply by stopping on the rollers and sliding onto this tough canvas material that you could sit on the water. It was like sitting in a canvas innertube with the top cut off. I managed to get out of the tunnel and sit at the back of the boat on this canvassy material. I could feel the coldness of the water as I sat there, legs out in front of me. I liked it though b/c it was a warm summer night.

So the boat starts up and I can see that in front of me the other passengers who slid through the whole tunnel were sitting at glass tables. Practically the whole boat was see-through with this plexiglass.

We started moving and we passed a sign that said Harbour Tours. 1.5 hours. So I got really anxious because I didn't want to be on the boat for that long, fearing I'd miss something at my grandparent's party.

Then I woke up.

The Amazing Assho..(I Mean 'Atheist') On Teens Against Porn

I was sent a link to a video by a pretentious Atheist on YouTube. This atheist, aka The Amazing Atheist (TAA), made a 40 minute tirade against an online teenage website called Teenagers Against Pornography (TAP), dedicated to helping young people with porn addictions. It should be noted that the average age of first viewing porn- ography is 11 years old.

WikiAnswers supports this claim as do many other researchers. In fact, many young males responded with their assessment of porn and the age at which they first started watching it:

Well, I started at eleven or twelve I think, it's not bad to start so early, I think I was just curious, but I didn't do anything in reality, so that's my answer :).

Yeah, I agree, as long as you don't do anything in reality, and you aren't like, yeah. then it's not so bad :).

Phew, I'm glad that's the case, because i started when I was eleven and I thought I would end up in jail or something... imagination...

TAA, whether purposely being sarcastic or deadly serious, is reinforcing the idea that addiction to pornography isn't a problem and instead simply thumbs his nose up at the site because of its' Christian view. He then proceeds to mock the site's '100 reasons not to watch porn'.

TAP's Mission Statement is as follows:

We are teenagers and young adults who struggle or have struggled with a pornography addiction. We've been through the ups and downs of attempting to quit and relapsing.
Their Mission Statement also states:

If you are a teen and you don't want to be given spiritual advice... just say so! Feel free to put a note in your signature on the forums that says you are not a Christian. We will respect your beliefs.
And:

We're not trying to have porn censored. We are not trying to exert our opinions concerning the harmfulness of pornography onto the law books. We are here to help teens who have already decided that porn is bad for them, but feel that they cannot stop viewing it.
Within the first 5 minutes of the video, TAA makes his first logical fallacy. He says that porn is produced by huge corporations like everything else, so why take issue with pornography when people already are slaves to the corporation. No need to be informed right TAA?

As of this post, this video was watched 14,500 times and given 4,850 positive ratings, 86 negative ratings.

I couldn't get through the first 10 minutes of it but I'll give anyone who can a free cookie.Photobucket

Sex Positive Feminists and The Uproar PART I

Hi Everyone, Good Friends, Trolls and Stalkers,

WAVE I

I've recently made a series of videos expressing my opinions on the industry of sex and pornography. I've done a rather decent amount of research and continue to research this subject.

It's important to note that I am a former sex worker who was once considered a 'sex-positive', which, to me, meant that I supported all forms of sex work and wanted it to be legitimate or decriminalized.

I have come to the idea that while harm reduction strategies are valid, what is more important is to address the sociological, psychological, political, and economic aspects of the industry of sex within a feminist/human rights perspective.

This means I no longer view the industry of sex as something to be given legitimacy as the ultimate solution but I'm willing to put a few Bandaids on it while the system as a whole changes to accommodate the ideas of radial/socialist and marxist feminists.

I have also discovered that there are sex-positive people, mainly on YouTube,  who aren't willing to dialogue the issues and are processing criticism of the industry itself as a personal affront to their self and self worth.

Instead of joining feminists who question the industry, sex positive women break the issue into two 'camps' as you'll see in one of the videos presented here.

Here are some videos that pertain to my ever expanding views on the subject:







In the next 2 videos, Shelley Lubben of the Pink Cross Foundation interviews a porn actress who has recently left the porn industry:





There are many other interviews of ex-porn performers on YouTube, similar to the one you just heard.

The reaction to these ex-porn industry women by sex positives is nothing short of derogatory.  Either they rate the video down or make a video response that disregards the interviewer.

Shelley Lubben, of the Pink Cross Foundation, is one of the leaders at the forefront, helping women and men get out of the porn industry. Shelley herself was a stripper, escort, prostitute and porn star for 8 years.

Because Shelley is Christian, sex positive women use this to try and discredit her, imply that she's lying about the statistics and information she presents to government officials, and refocus the very real trauma of women. I often wonder if sex positive women would engage in the same unctuous tactics if Shelley was Jewish or Buddhist.

Here is a video that tries to cleverly switch the focus directly onto what other Christian groups engage in. This is known as appealing to pity.



WAVE II

The response by the sex positive group on YouTube has been incredibly hostile without any in-depth examinations of their position. I've understood these basic principles coming from the sex positive camp:
  • the oldest profession that hasn't changed so why change anything
  • legalization or decriminalization will erase the stigma of the industry and its workers and make it safer for the workers
  • women and men should have the freedom to make choices about their own bodies
  • radical feminists are slut shaming current or former sex workers and therefore contributing to the stigma that society places on these workers

When confronted with well researched videos we get responses such as this montage from various sex positive people:



One of my sisters made a brilliant video which explains the sex positive position in terms of what feminism they subscribe to, if any, and why it's so important to deconstruct the industry from the radical feminist perspective.



Stay tuned for upcoming part II. I am releasing this now rather than later so that my audience can engage in the comment section.

I am NOT a false flagger, even though it says on my video 'false flag'. See, I don't know what that really means but I use the language of the community but nevermind. I'm going to police all of YouTube with my trusty little penis and my pinky finger that matches, and I'm gonna use it to flag your channels down.

I'm sorry that I flagged you all and destroyed your content that you've had for years but, well, you see, I'm not a FALSE flagger! I am a true flagger! I make the rules around here and if you don't like my opinion then I will not FALSELY flag you, I will FLAG YOU!
