Under fire from a variety of different directions, the crowd-funding platform GoFundMe, which had hitherto been one of the most relaxed of the crowdfunding platforms, just banned a whole raft of different types of fundraisers. This Washington Post article has the whole story. The part that’s relevant to the sex-positive world: as part of the changes, GoFundMe substantially beefed up its prohibition against fundraising that touches upon any of the adult industries. Here is what the GoFundMe terms of service had to say on the subject as of August 24:
You may not use the GoFundMe service for activities that … relate to sales of … items that are considered obscene [or] certain sexually oriented materials or services.
Pretty vague, and certainly GoFundMe was never adult-friendly. But the new terms they announced yesterday are rather more dramatically pronounced in their condemnation of porn and sex and anybody who admits to having anything to do with those things:
In order to ensure a positive experience for all visitors, the purpose of your GoFundMe campaign must not relate to any of the following items.
Adult Material
Sexually explicit
Sexually suggestive
Adult services or products
Pornography of any kind
Cosmetic sexual enhancements
Relating to adult industry
Content associated with or relating to any of the items above.
Of course that right there is a badly-written word salad that can mean whatever they want it to mean. But it’s very clear what they do mean: “No smut, and nothing to help smutty people. Go away, smutty people. Go far away.”
The Pornocalypse comes for us all, and yesterday it came for GoFundMe.

If we’re being honest, nerd culture’s fascination with sexbots and fembots and all manner of mostly-humanoid mechanical sex partners has an uncomfortable proximity with the rapey and toxic-to-humans notion that sex would be easier and more fun if your prospective partner lacks the will or indeed the ability to tell you to bugger the fuck off. There’s more to it than that, of course; in fantasy, these robot sex partners are designed for fucking, so consent is either irrelevant or built-in along with the capacity to do sexual things better than merely human women. But the fact of an “on” switch and and “off” switch and “programming” is at least part of the appeal of these mechanical partners. Certainly that’s so for the operators and enjoyers of the fembots from SciFi Dreamgirls, who seem to be forever opening access panels and tinkering with the programming of these already-willing mechanical girls to make them even more pliable and compliant:

How long do you think she spent in that artful pose, just waiting for you to enter the room?
Picture is from a Vintage Cuties gallery. But am I to be forgiven for thinking the model looks a bit like Michelle Dockery, the actress who plays Lady Mary Crawley in the Downton Abbey TV show?

In the 1980s, Ms. Magazine was the publication of record for sex-hostile feminists (who were a much larger proportion of the feminist movement back then, and who claimed to be the entire movement). Here’s a photo of Annie Sprinkle, who tweets “1980’s photo of me when porn stars protested Ms. Magazine for having no porn stars @ round table discussion abt porn!”
