can I just say that "giggle" is a creepy as fuck name, even without the play on 'google'(a trusted name in privacy and not doing creepy shit!); just at every level, and I would literally never trust that platform with anything. most certainly not a photograph, demographics be damned?
If an app that centred trans women were called Giggle (with a pink interface, too) these terfs would be first in line to call it a misogynistic and stereotypical image of femininity, but since it's in the service of cissexism I guess it's okay!
(I never even made the connection to google though, jfc)
yeah is the google play like... a licensing thing? its really obvious.
It is more than a little cringe. I can't tell if it insults women who present more masc or women who present femme more
considering the number of levels that this is creepy on, i think its fair to say they intentionally targeted both with this master stroke.
oh my god I want that job. I promise I'll do terrible at it, I just want to have a record that its an actual real thing and I think that's gonna be the only way to convince some people in maybe a decade; to have it linked to my SSN.
It would be so funny for the women terfs to start infighting because the app thought one of them was a trans woman lol.
- Create fake profile
- Make a few ordinary posts to look credible
- Make up some BS about masculine facial features and accuse the most terfy terf in there of being trans.
- Profit
Finally someone who understands how to properly troll
This has to be a scam of some kind, right? Their system seems way too trivial to circumvent. Maybe they are trying to dox terfs?
The system being secure isn't the point. Being loudly, visibly transphobic is. I sincerely doubt a trans comrade would actually try to use the app (beyond dunking on them), knowing that everyone they're likely to meet could very well assault them or worse. Fuck these TERFs.
Lol, that freak was also looking in on this thrice-damned website yesterday
Sup sall you fucking loser lmaoI feel like she'd get a lot less hate if she was just like "okay, the premise of this app is that trans women are a fully distinct category from cis women" instead of this "FEEEEEMALES" terf shit
Probably, but that would mean admitting Trans Women are Women at all.
I'm one of the most male-presenting men that I've ever met and I'm gonna try and make an account on this just to get a rise out of them 😁
Huh, say if this was able to also generate bodies, would that change TERF critique against porn production if everything would be produced digitally? Currently a lot of TERF's account to the view that porn in itself is problematic as it reproduces cis patriarchy. 40 years ago - and more seldomly now - there was also the claim that sex shops and any dildo / vibrator / satisfier / magic wand would be bad. Nowadays there are luckily enough people seeing that as much as possible in capitalism, some are enjoying their sexuality (even with toys).
Of course even digitally produced porn would necessarily depend on the exploitation of the workers creating it. It might be that ethically self produced stuff is more what we will see after the revolution (if there remains a need for that).
The production of porn is not the only issue. Porn ruins relationships and warp male expectations of sex.
Also the enjoyment for many viewers is the degradation and the fact that the act really did happen.
Also the enjoyment for many viewers is the degradation
Sure, for some that is the case. This will be vastly reduced with other social relations than those found in capitalism.
and the fact that the act really did happen.
For some surely, for some it often is about the simulated stimulation, e.g. Baudrillard.
Porn ruins relationships
Not so sure about that monocausality, feels too close to "masturbation ruins relationships" to me. The dyadic relations towards it and effects within the net of other social relations sure do play a role.
and warp male expectations of sex.
Sure, that is true, it is even more true than alternatives before films existed.
There are options that could alter what kind of sex is simulated, though. I do believe even when porn remains porn, sensibly produced compassionate porn with prelude and such can actually help to not have the current idea of sex. There are a few queer collectives who do produce a variety of scenes (and reproduce in part tropes and in parts go beyond them).I don't think that with technology existing it is a good move to return to a pre digital state (in which many people I know didn't knew they actually weren't cis for quite some time).
The question isn't if you can produce problematic content, the question is if you could produce unproblematic content.
Yesterday's discussion:
(CW: Transphobia) 'Giggle' is a social app created by TERFs, for TERFs. Let's destroy it.
the same thing, but for gaggle, the machismo men with real manjunk only platform
edit: pls someone make gaggle a real dating app just to fuck with these people, im begging you
On signing up you have to submit a dick pic. AI will use it to determine if your face is manly enough.
keep trying to sign up with pig poop balls as your selfy
How do they feel about trans men, since they're all about AFAB, not women now?
they say that "trans girls" are welcome on their app, I'm pretty sure they mean trans men when they say that
