Don't see you left any comments like this on all the depressed vent art he posted when he was going through it. So sounds like when he's feeling blue you don't give a shit, but when he's feeling happy you get upset.

Im trying to figure out if this is a humorous juxtaposition or meant to antagonize people? one post i could see as just a silly thing, but two is weird. especially with the responses from the first one.

i get that people like to use antagonistic imagery to get a reaction, and sometimes the jokes dont land properly and it comes across as the person being genuinely awful, so im trying to figure out if this is a joke or not.

from where i stand, this is likely just an offhand joke, depicting a very -very- bad man doing something wholesome for a child, its funny because of the absurdism. but i cant shake the idea that if its not a joke, if its just meant to kind of...hurt people that are scared of what that man is going to do to them and their families. that the joke isnt a joke to be funny, but to actually just hurt people?

that idea bothers me a lot so i wanted to ask if thats the case. is this meant to be funny, or is it meant to hurt people that are afraid of him?

i was asking you what your intention was, art has intention, the manifestation of the creator, it might just be something funny or "to make someone laugh" but thats still intention.

if your intention is "it hurts people and i think thats funny" then your intention was to hurt people. that is why i was asking you to clarify.

Emenius

I don't think artist intention matters. The only thing that matters is the interpretation of the end user. Whether it be drawn art, music, or comedy. The artist could flat out say what their intentions were, but people could choose to ignore it and stick to their interpretation. And that is 100% how it should be with something subjective like art in any form.

Now, with all that being said, I am an entertainer. Whether that be from my art, being in a garage band, or dabbling in comedy. I never want to hurt anyone. I don't hate anyone. I merely poke fun.

If you fall to the ground and start having a seizure which you would have recovered from completely harmlessly, but I mistakenly believe you're having a heart attack and start giving you CPR with the intention of saving your life only to break your ribs and cause the broken bones to puncture your lungs and result in your death, I don't think intention matters as much as the results in that scenario

Intentions absolutely matter. It tells the truth about the person. If a person posts a piece they made with a confederate flag, it matters if the person made it out of their love of their home, or a means to spread the hateful ideology of slavery-era peoples.

Like with you. Did you make this comment simply out of a desire to make bridges between sides or because you actually agree with the ideology (because there's no way you actually see this as just a kid with fries unless you are incredibly ignorant). If this was a left leaning post, would you be so quick to deny the importance of intention? Because I genuinely don't know if you would. Based on a ton of comments of yours I've read, I genuinely don't know your stance on things. You've said some things that concern me, then seemingly contradict yourself elsewhere. You and Emenius are complicated people and I want to understand you, and intentions are key to doing so.

This isn't tribalism, an us-versus-them mentality, people are nuanced and grey. This is about the basic fundamentals of a person and how compatible they are to you.

I am compatible with people who take pride in their southern homes. I'm not compatible with bigotry. That's not tribalism.

well if you can separate the concepts and nuance instead of lumping it all together into an infantile left good right bad or Trump bad anybody else good binary then there's hope to have a real conversation with you yet =p

I made my post with the intent to make a point, that by reading into the artists intent behind to picture directly you were trying to figure out if he was a trump supporter or not when I would argue it hardly matters in the context of the art.

theres a special kind of Irony when you think about it, this image is DRENCHED in political Assumptions but...in reality it's an old man selling a happy meal to an autistic rat kid =p thats it. WE brought all the assumptions to the conversation about the picture. Nothing political is featured with in it. We have preconceived notions about the image based on the fact donold Trump is in it.

So as the artist said you really can take away from it what you will.

Oh dear God not one of you people. Clearly they didn't properly teach history wherever you live. There was an ideological switch between parties over time. Essentially, back then, the Republicans were on the left and Democrats were on the right. So those Republicans would be modern day Democrats.

But let's say that the switch didn't happen. Ideology still changes.

So your point is moot.

People in the south became less racist, and started voting Conservative, and people up north became more racist, and started voting Democrat. The politicians themselves stayed exactly the same, they didn't suddenly change their policies.

C'mon Kevin. When I met you, you seemed to be a very intelligent, well read person. You should understand why a mainly LGBTQ+ community would be concerned by folks voting for a party of people who are historically and very loudly anti-lgbtq+, and especially been very vocal on removing LGBTQ+ material (such as your porn) from the internet. People would find it a betrayal if they learn someone they admire is friends with people who want to hurt them.

Like, imagine if you found out your best friend was getting all buddy-buddy with your bully, you know?

And you can say "I just wanna enjoy the art", but alas! Not only do LGBTQ+ people have to live with the truth that our lives will always be politicized, but our entire community has been as well! The whole litterboxes in classrooms thing, remember? That was aimed at us, and we've been targeted by similar right-wing and puritanical slanders. So, we have no choice but to be political, because we will always be seen as something "political" just for liking what we like.

I need to consider what you have said, especially at the end, and keep in mind that Trump was found guilty of fraud and hush money.

As for the litterbox things, I promise you it was taken very seriously by a lot of people. Heck, I had to explain to family in Canada that "No, it didn't happen, no matter what people are saying." And they're not even particularily right-wing. And this hoax was spread by major right-wing figures as matter of fact truth.

The republican party has been very vocal about their anti-lgbtq+ stance. The attacks on trans folk, especially the 'predatory' nature, are just rehashed anti-gay conversations and will be used as stepping stones to bring back such conversations.

And of course democrats have lied about things. All politicians have lied to us. Your whole response is filled with observably wrong information.

"	I need to consider what you have said, especially at the end, and keep in mind that Trump was found guilty of fraud and hush money.

the fraud case was stateing the value of realistate being higher then it was, literally allmost everybodys whos sold real state is guilty of this. He gets his information from people he paid to value the property hes responsible for that sure but it's not like he did that himself. It's also really a nothing burger as far as crimes go in my book. Hush money was literaly just that storm denials crap. A guy running for president paid a whore not to talk about how he..paid a whore...again nothing burger. I wouldent have cared if he had been honest about her from the start either.

"	As for the litterbox things, I promise you it was taken very seriously by a lot of people.

again this was only possible due to how much crazy shit we've all been seeing online and in real life for the last several years.. people going on record as being two spirit and other such nonsense. You are not a Dragon XD your just a dramatic!

"	The republican party has been very vocal about their anti-lgbtq+ stance. The attacks on trans folk, especially the 'predatory' nature, are just rehashed anti-gay conversations and will be used as stepping stones to bring back such conversations.

and the trans community is doing everything it can to erase gay people by insisting effeminate boys must be girls. I can throw out accusation's that are true beocuse a small minority are doing it but it's not representative of the whole. In reality most of the right and even most republicans dont give a toss about gays for good or ill. Some of the more religious ones do but even then there missgiveings are personal exept when it comes to the instatution of marrage. I dont care if they want to outlaw the use of the word MARRAGE and we just have to call it a civil union, I DO care that both should be treated equally. In the same token the left continues to try and compell relgious instatution to participate in gay weddings by force. Now there ARE Churches that WILL let you get gay married, theres also a court house in every town or county in america as well as any bastard with a boat or 15 minuts to file for a marrage licence. the wedding issues not a big one for me, and trumps been fairly vocal about support gay people, hes just not pandering to them, wich democrates tend to.

"	And of course democrats have lied about things. All politicians have lied to us. Your whole response is filled with observably wrong information.

Both party's lie CONSTENTLY I didn't vote for a party. I voted for the guy who not a politician and, promised to do the most things I wanted as opposed to the other person and last who's four years were IMO better then Bidens, as opposed to the democrats soulless hand puppet, who slept her way into her first job as a DA, got picked by Biden as a LITERAL Diversity hire, and then skipped the primary entirely when he stepped down rendering her in my mind, Entirely illegitimate since Not a single living soul voted for her to be a presidential candidate she got it through virtue of status as a "woman of color." I dont do identity politics or intersectionalist crap. The presences or absence of a vagina or how melinated your skin is will never earn or lose my vote by virtue of that alone.

Now maybe trump is Full of shit, but he tried to fullfill all his promises the first time and that track record means he will likely try to do so again...as opposed to the walking hand puppet the establishment was using to tick some boxes. Maybe im hedgeming my bets but i prefer my odds with the republicans at the moment.

Im a swing Voter, I vote based on factors in play not along party lines. I voted for that prick Obama...twice! wish i hadn't the first time I diddent know better the second time that was on me.,,,though It diddent help I was not terrible fond of Romney..old news now though

It's true, Trump didn't start from scratch, when Donald turned 18 his father gave him $400,000. He used them to buy and remodel a hotel and within two years later he sold it for 7 million, This speaks of a very intelligent person with a natural talent for making money grow, something that we cannot discredit.
As for his age, at 78 years old, he is quite healthy and energetic, besides, thousands of people have held very important positions over the age of 80, so saying that "Trump is too old" is not a very strong argument.
I know that whatever I say is not going to change your mind and I don't intend to do it either, so let's avoid a useless discussion. Go with God.

Banks don't have any personal vendetta against porn, they just wanna make money, and I don't think the leadership at Goldman Sachs is particularly liberal, regardless of race or religion. But churches do have a vendetta, and they lean hard on visa and mastercard to ban it, and they've got enough money that the banks can't ignore them. The only people loudly complaining about porn are the Christian conservatives. Let's make their voice smaller.

Banks have risk assessment processes that basically dictate how and when they're allowed to conduct business and whether they get scrutinized by Homeland Security- Under the Patriot Act in the wake of 9/11 payment processors got somewhat "deputized" to look out for money fraud or laundering operations as part of the global war on terror where you would either play ball or not run through basically the 3 biggest payment processors (hence why places in like the EU have less archaic or middleman heavy financial services eg like Switzerland I think where they can just make person to person transfers without a say paypal middleman which uses like in turn Mastercard as the middleman between the actual bank accounts). If certain transaction or business sectors get deemed "high risk" for their propesnity for fraud, false transactions, money laundering, unsavory or illegal/dangerous business endeavors like firearms/gambling/pornography I forget which oversight department I /believe/ the FTC can basically strike down a payment processor like the hand of god, revoke their ability to process payments deal. So the payment processors are motivated to be proactive in keeping their nose clean as it were-

But in keeping their nose clean, who they do business or not with/how or why they choose to drop someone is considered a trade secret and not allowed to be queried save for I think a federal indictment? So payment processors were given frankly ridiculous and broad reaching power that has only really seen ramifications now in the full swing of the internet age because what you're seeing as a moral panic isn't one, but a bureacratic one- Payment processors kinda shit themselves a number of years back when I think pornhub had a big oopsie and might have been letting slide a lot of shit dealing in like human trafficking/possibly illegal material (what led to the need for like all those sights to require verification for video posting) and so with their financials being handled by these financial institutions; that whole fuckup was the first time they might have really had the FTC descend from on high to fuck them in the mouth started making payment processors way more vigilant to threats to their good financial standing by pornography sites than anything before really has-

S'not a moral issue being run into, it's a bureacracy issue.

@ harbleglarble

While this is all basicly true, it's so absolutely a moral issue. The rates of illegal activity weren't particularly higher on pornhub than places like Facebook, and the decision to put extra scrutiny on porn comes from people's moral objection. And a lot of that illegal activity was a side effect of the moral judgement to criminalize and demonize sex work. Drive a business onto the black market, get more crime, and now you can disguise your moral outrage as just being being tough on crime. They did the same thing with weed. Make selling it dangerous, then make the laws stricter because of that danger, and now you don't have to justify why you banned it to begin with. But it starts as a unfounded moral judgement.
