Oh it’s an art site? I thought it was like a pornhub thing and was confused as it’s not like those sites aren’t interchangeable

Library of Alexandria is too far, but it is/was one of the biggest easily browsable art sites, both pornographic and non-porn. A ton of the non-porn art and comics it hosted will become incredibly hard to find online unless someone backs up everything.

The avatar makes me incredibly suspect of the definition of non-porn being used here.

Apparently it closed down because wherever the servers were hosted just passed anti drawn cp laws or something.

If a hentai site gets shutdown you can 100% bet that it was because of child porn.

Yeah, it was p. much for the child porn. That said, I don't really know of any other place where you can get stuff like Warhammer and Robotech artbooks other than paying exorbitant prices on ebay. On the other hand, just fukken LOL if you think that they're worth keeping a child porn site around.

Maybe just don't then.
The racism he's speaking of hits very close to home because it's not white people being outrightly violent to you but collectively comparing you to animals in a very accepted way. It sucks and all you can do is jig and smile.

thespaceinvader posted:

Here's a disturbing thought: has anyone noticed that a disproportionately large number of these 'publish a video of someone being a racist twunt' things are of women?

I'm sure at least the same number of men do it, but way more women seem to be doxxed for it...

I theorize it's about punching down. There are a few other examples of behavior which women seem to get busted for more than men. Public breastfeeding rage for instance almost always seems to be perpetrated against women by women. When a dude punches down against a social "lesser" man or a woman, that's just the baseline and not particularly noteworthy.

When a woman punches down against another woman or a minority, who such women feel entitled to punch down against, that's seen as noteworthy. Sometimes a dude gets caught punching down against a minority, which is considered noteworthy at this point. But they have those other aforementioned targets as well so you don't hear about it as much.

So in other words, its about our society's power dynamics and not anything that implicates women over men for certain types of socially unacceptable behavior. It's not a gender issue so much as it is a social issue that causes this artifacting.

You get a few guys too, like bagel guy, and the one with his kid begging him to stop.

A black dude with a gun in his hip holster walked into an IRS office last week and the security guard immediately drew on him and refused to let him leave, blocking the elevator door from closing. When the cops arrived it turned out that the "taxpayer with a gun who refused to leave the premises" that had been reported was a county sheriff's deputy in full uniform who'd dropped into the IRS office to see about his taxes.

Edit: Here's an article with a little more information.

poo poo that sounds racist as gently caress! I better read the article.

quote:

Mr. Gaston, a deputy for 34 years, said it was the first time he’s ever been at gunpoint.

“I completely felt like I was going to be killed,” he said. “And even though I’ve been in dangerous situations before — fights and things of that sort — I’ve never really felt like I was going to die, like in that moment.”

Hm, maybe more cops ought to be harassed...

Also I do like that the officers response to this insane request was not to leave but insert himself further into the situation, escalating it.

Well you probably also don’t see black people as barely-restrained murderous beasts, so that might explain the discrepancy.

He first offered to put his gun into a secured locker but that just made the security guard angry. He turned around and tried to walk out (even though the security guard had a gun pointed at his back) but when he stepped into the elevator the security guard physically blocked the door from closing and trapped him in the building. He never raised his voice or touched his weapon and did everything he could to leave peacefully. At which point did he insert himself further or escalate anything?

Two content tags, so you could entirely exclude them from your search results and browsing.

The actual categories were also excludable by clicking their icon above the search box. I wish poo poo like pornhub had search engines that worked that well.
