Bring back kids spaces online. When I was growing up adults were on social media (before it was called social media) and kids were on kid websites that were moderated. Separate spaces. I'm sick of every single space online having to be kid friendly. I'm a ****ing adult. Let me converse and express like one. We used to be able to but now we can't because there's kids everywhere running rampant with absolutely no adult supervision ruining it for the rest of us There's never been a time where what you are calling social media e.g. insta/facebook etc weren't accessible by 13 and up. That's always been their user base minimum age (ever since Facebook opened up and wasnt just a uni/college thing) The gays know how to party 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like look at yourselves first, instead of complaining about someone else.. especially when they are trans, which feels like this is the problem and not the nudity itself to some people… Just for the context, I had to move a thread “your favorite p-rn star” and none of you thought that it’s a problematic thread…. It's the fact that some of these people are fans of Lady Gaga and they have an issue with nudity. 💀 he/him/his 4 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nudity isn't ****. Then again I'm European, so it might be cultural. I find thirst traps much more damaging for young people and the way it shapes their minds than an artistic picture of a trans body. I think they are both just not necessary. Anyone can post their soft dicks in instagram in a photo and claim it to be artistic then.

I like the familiarity with which we associate pop artists forces us to confront our discomfort with nudity more so i can see how on that level it could elicit that, "I don't want to see that!" feeling. It's actually a very interesting point of inquiry you bring up because I do think that the shock of it was part of the intent. If i had to guess why now, I'm wondering if it's related to the Supreme Court siding with the Trump administration that conversion therapy bans are unconstitutional and this could be her way of sticking the middle finger to that by so visibly showing her beauty, body, and transness. Hayden is pretty willing to weigh in on politics, after all. I just think we can bring attention to trans beauty, existence and culture without exposing genitalia on social media. It almost feels retroactive if that was the intent. People don’t realize stuff like this just feeds into opinions that stuff like this is perverse. on the other hand it just also presents as a pop star doing whatever they can to grab attention. I’d have the same train of thought if Gaga posted her vagina on her instagram, like what exactly are u doing here and why 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Idk I feel like if you’re going to be called perverse anyway, why entertain respectability? At the end of the day, it’s genitals not sex and in that regard I think it comes down to personal opinion and comfort with seeing it (given how casual and lifestyle the app is) which like you said is by nature going to cause conversation which whatever the meaning behind doing it was part of the intent. Personally, I scrolled right past it and didn’t even notice until this thread pointed it out Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keeo 506 Posted Thursday at 05:05 PM Share Posted Thursday at 05:05 PM I saw it and thought she was wearing printed underwear with male genitals on it… did notttt realise that it was real. Hmm I’m really not sure IG is the place for this tbh. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bronco 18,802 Posted Thursday at 05:17 PM Share Posted Thursday at 05:17 PM I feel like people are missing the key bit of information that unexpected sharing of NSFW images can: 1. Be triggering for some people 2. Get people into trouble. If a teen (who are on social media & follow Ethel Cain on social media) was scrolling instagram within eyesite of a helicopter parent, do you think defending it as "art" would prevent that person being punished by the parent? And we realise that some of those parents could be abusive? The gays know how to party 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus, she posted it in the context of Trans Visibility Day. But of course I'm able to read the room: in the society we currently live in, there's no doubt she posted it to provoke and start a conversation. Mission accomplished.

Jester 6,385 Posted Thursday at 07:09 PM Share Posted Thursday at 07:09 PM To the people saying there's nothing sexual about it. There's nothing artistic or clever either. It's just vulgar, inappropriate, and just bad for the trans community in general. Trans visibility lol? How's this gonna help? Radicalise the opposite side even more? When they already accuse trans people to be sexual freaks and now an actual psycho pulls out their **** in public. 3 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trans visibility isn’t about making trans people digestible. Also who are you to say someone’s body is vulgar? She’s not performing anything sexual or even hard in this photo. You have some weird issue with a naked body and that’s on you. This isn’t a public park, it’s her social media. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
