Its bad for sexual exploitation of any gender,,

[-] Empricorn@feddit.nl 20 points 8 months ago

Are... both genders currently being exploited equally?

[-] Mango@lemmy.world 0 points 8 months ago

Get to stepping, girls! It's free real estate.

[-] clot27@lemm.ee -1 points 8 months ago

"both" Why are you assuming there are only 2 genders?

That's the "all lives matter" argument, and it's disingenuous.

If billionaires are being forced to pay unfair yacht fees, that's a problem. But that doesn't mean it's as immediate and important an issue as starving children, and obviously shouldn't be prioritized the same. That's just an example, but "major in the majors", as my mom taught me...

Ignoring the fact that it does happen is the same as ignoring mental health for men, or when Google does this shit..

Starting to lose more and more respect for Lemmy's userbase as time goes on. I don’t care that you think it’s “disingenuous”, no one should be getting exploited by AI. I don’t give a shit what gender they are. If you think I’m being disingenuine to avoid the issue itself, then oh well, there’s no discussion to be had..

In discussions of this issue I've come to the conclusion that a not-small portion of those participating in said discussion would probably be doing the exploiting. I guess I'm just too old (as in, over 25) or too "normal" for Lemmy.

Just because people are talking about one issue right now doesn't mean that they don't care about other issues. Pointing out the obvious that nobody should be sexually exploited is doing nothing other than shifting the topic away from the original issue. Hence, the "all lives matter" comparison.

The person you replied to is doing the same thing. Nobody should be sexually exploited, and there's tons of issues surrounding men's mental health and abuse. But that's not what we're talking about here. We're talking about AI being used to deepfake nudes and sexually explicit material, which disproportionately affects women.

If they had come in here to talk about men who had had this happen to them, that would be one thing. But they didn't. They came in here to minimize the impact the issue has on a specific group and to complain about how nobody is talking about a separate issue, respectively.

Are you really comparing young boys to billionaires? Wtf is wrong with you?

Yes, there are fewer boys who are affected by this than girls. But they are in no way privileged in their every day life if they become victims of this.

Reading comprehension fail. ☹️

[-] DarkThoughts@fedia.io 0 points 8 months ago

It's not, but I'm not in the mood to argue with Ameritards and their idiotic culture war bullshit. You can keep that shit on your side of the ocean.

[-] HeyLow@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 8 months ago

Totally agree! It's unfortunate that we live in a sexist ass society that would down vote a post like this! Sexual exploitation is bad regardless of gender and there should be nothing controversial about that!

I wonder why it is that girls evolved to be sexy but not also men.
