We've got a bunch of new people now so let's bring back a classic post. What low stakes conspiracy theory do you believe that you cannot prove but feels right to you?

I'll start: I believe that dating apps have made a concerted effort to smear in person meeting people and tie it to being "creepy" through social media so you are forced to meet people online(which was the creepy option just 15 years ago)

    "Whores" should be venerated in the hustle-grindset-gig-economy the world has created but strangely are not.

    On the real though, sex work is so weirdly moralized in the market economy when everything else isn't. They want you to monetize your free time, your thoughts, your interests, your relationships, but you monetize your sexuality they get all porky-scared

      it's part of the apparatus of control over female-bodied people

        Aren't there male sex workers as well?

          yes, of course, but people are usually mad at them for being gay, not for being sex workers
