'AI can help mitigate ethical concerns by ensuring that the content is not created using real people ... [and] ensure that no person, male or female, has to be explicitly sexualized in the future.' I call bullshit 🧵

Concern rises over AI in adult entertainment

AI in adult entertainment could have negative effects on society and individuals, experts say.

In 2018, a passer-by in Thailand discovered a “corpse” in the bushes which turned out to be a sex doll. The doll was headless and its stomach was ripped apart – injuries similar to those of the Jack the Ripper victims

The interests of the buyers are not the same as the interests of the surrogate mother, and when you consider the power disparity between them, who do you think will win if and when things go horribly wrong?

I wrote this: "The takeaway messages from the film are that male aggression against women is ‘hot’, that women secretly desire and enjoy violence and abuse, and that even ‘no’ really means ‘yes’." #365days #365daysnetflix #abuse #VAW

365 Days isn’t romantic, it’s a danger to women’s lives

If the scenario of a young woman being kidnapped and held hostage by a member of the Sicilian mafia doesn’t strike you as an epic romance, you’re not alone.

A man detonated a homemade bomb outside a Perth restaurant to frighten and hurt the female worker who rejected his advances. #7News described him as a "heartbroken man" and a "jilted lover". How about "abuser", "predator", "criminal"? #fixedit

Catharine MacKinnon: "Sex in prostitution is sex that the woman wouldn't be having if she weren't being paid for it. Therefore the money operates as a form of force in prostitution; that is, to get her to do something she wouldn't otherwise do, namely sex."
