News
Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

I’ll toss one off in his honor
But one of the first things I learned from the Internet in the 90s is that I will never ever have to pay for porn
Edit: ok, so I get that OnlyFans was more about the eSexWork part of the CumCalculus, but, still, not for me. No judgment, though. In fact, I had some friends that found it quite empowering.
It may sound weird, but the only person I follow on OnlyFans (and have paid for) is a friend of mine, someone I've hung out with in real life. She only did it because she was struggling to make enough money, even with a job!
It was a little weird, I guess, to see her boobs online and then go hang out at her house, but whatever.
Oh, also I guess I follow Markiplier who posted "tasteful nudes" and donated all the money to charity.
I don't think that's weird. I've seen friends and coworkers naked for various reasons. One of my good friends is someone I used to hook up with in college.
That is sweet as a kind kind of borderline “supporting a friend/boundary violation“. Without knowing more, I’m not entirely sure how to judge the situation?
Markplier… why does that sound familiar? I don’t think I want the answer to that.
Human sexuality is both complicated and complex to infinity. Unless it harms someone, I am in no place to be judgmental.
Markiplier is a YouTuber, he plays video games and it's fun to watch him scream at horror games - like Five Nights at a Freddy's.
He also made a movie based off a video game called Iron Lung.
His "tasteful nudes" don't actually show any nudity (except maybe his butt).
Ok, lol. It’s just some brain flotsam from something else. Lol that’s a relief ha ha ha ha ha ha
What's empowering about whoring yourself to the same people that are responsible for why everything is so expensive?
That’s… Not how that works. And shaming people who have no shame over their own sexuality and bodies is exactly the problem here. I’m referring to sex work. Not billionaires.
Your (quite legitimate) problem with billionaires is only tangentially related.
If you wanna make a case that this particular billionaire was a bad guy, then submit your evidence.
That is how it works for the vast majority of people.
Very, very few of them are "empowered" by their position.
I'm also not just talking about billionaires.
