Avengers Four otherwise known as: Clint Barton, the Goth Years
today I was wearing a black costume with a matching bow and arrows around it and a cool new mowhawk. I was wearing black lipstick, white foundation, black eyeliner and red eye shadow. I was walking outside Thanos’ new fucked up planet earth waving my sword around. It was snowing and raining so there was no sun, which I was very happy about. A lot of Avengers stared at me. I put up my middle finger at them.
I would always raise my hand in 3rd grade, and my teacher would NEVER pick on me. She’d always choose the same handful of smart kids over and over again. One time there was a really challenging problem, and finally after picking all the smart kids FIRST, she called on me and was shocked I got it right. Kids pick up these signals. Why are people like this lmao
I actually tried participating in like grade 1, and the teacher would never pick me unless I didn’t know the answer and didn’t raise my hand, and I basically never tried to participate again for the next 12 years
I had a math teacher that would ridicule me and the rest of the kids in my class when she called on us and we got the answer wrong. Messed up my brain’s way of processing maths, and gave me terrible anxiety when attempting to participate in class.
Pornhub’s entire business model revolves around stealing content made by
sex workers without their consent and profiting off it with no
compensation to the workers who generate the content they steal.
Sex
workers are an incredibly vulnerable and stigmatised class of workers, mostly women,
mostly younger, mostly not rich, with little recourse, socially or legally, against a massive
corporation like Pornhub.
Pornhub relies on this, on how little you care about sex workers, to maintain a business
based on stealing their livelihoods.
Stop applauding a
corporation that literally exists to steal from marginalised workers just
because they have a competent PR department.
Fucking thank you
I’m not defending them but isn’t that true of all porn sites?
Yes.
This is going around again because Pornhub have apparently been billing themselves as an alternative to Tumblr for artists and sex workers and it was made originally because as they say, Pornhub has a very clever PR department (I’m thinking in particular of the snow plowing stunt last year) and people have a tendency to fall for it.
Pornhub pays 69 cents per 1k views while Youtube pays $7.60 for the same amount of traffic.
If someone steals your porn and uploads it, Pornhub requires that you doxx yourself to the uploader.
^^^^ Yep! Said it before, will say it again, and have been needing to remind people pretty often because it apparently takes nothing for y’all to forget that corporations don’t care about you (since people have been all starry eyed about their new BFF Pornhub):
THIS IS HOW IT WORKS:
When a performer discovers their reuploaded content, they must file a DMCA req to get it pulled down. This involves two main parts.
1. Their formal statement is required to *prove* they are indeed the owner fo the content, and therefore have the right to state it was not intended for redistribution.
2. To prove this, they must submit their LEGAL NAME AND ADDRESS to the site. As part of DMCA law, the site retains the right to DISCLOSE OUR NAME AND ADDRESS to the uploader, as part of informing them who has made a claim against the upload.
(Because of the frightening implications of giving my name and address to a porn site that can make the info available to a pirate, I have paid THOUSANDS in legal fees to incorporate in order to keep my info private. It was very expensive and absolutely not available to most performers, and for years I did not have this option available and had to continue doxxing myself to fucking pornsites)
NOTE!!! At NO POINT are the uploaders asked to provide legal proof of clip ownership, nor are they required to submit their name and address. Sites NEVER ask pirates to prove anything is theirs aside perhaps from ticking a check box. Pirates are hard to fight because sites do next to nothing to discourage them. Why? Because they make their money off of traffic, and all income is good income to them.
They don’t care.
Be better than them. Tubesites are not friends to artists and fair warning, artists that think Pornhub will be a great place for them will find that out when their shit starts getting reposted.

The thing about this is that sculptures like these in art history were for the male gaze. Photoshop a phone to it and suddenly she’s seen as vain and conceited. That’s why I’m 100% for selfie culture because apparently men can gawk at women but when we realize how beautiful we are we’re suddenly full of ourselves…
“You painted a naked woman because you enjoyed looking at her, put a mirror in her hand and you called the painting “Vanity,” thus morally condemning the woman whose nakedness you had depicted for you own pleasure.” ― John Berger, Ways of Seeing
I know I’ve reblogged this before but it’s so important.
