  1. CW: Long rant about the sexism of gender-based Topless censorship

    Just the name Dr #PimplePopper makes me want to 🤮, let alone have thumbnails SHOWING burst #pimples show up in my feed, yet repeatedly I've had #YouTube ban thumbnails of pre- #censored nonsexual female nipples, even when I've already blurred them out (to say nothing of the entire pre- censored videos they've banned over and over again). Yet of course, YouTube, along with #tiktok #Instagram #facebook etc-forever are chock full of entirely UNcensored MALE nipples with MILLIONS of views, that somehow DON'T get #banned as sexually explicit nudity" 🙃

    I know I'm a broken record about this, but how does this make sense?? How tf do the majority of people, even alleged #progressive #leftists just unthinkingly go along with the #patriarchal #sexist #misogynistic view that "of course, female nipples are sexually explicit nudity, but male nipples aren't. OBVIOUSLY."? or at most, they go "yeah it's not fair, but what can we do?"

    Maybe... Mention it in your own content? Spare comments in the replies of my own posts about this are certainly appreciated, and better than no words of support at all. But we will NEVER make progress towards #genderEquality as long as more people aren't pointing out blatant sexism (and #transphobia - at what point does a nipple look "female" or "male" enough to get banned/not banned?) in public places, loud and unapologetic. I know compared to many world issues, wanting the same rights as "male-looking chests" online and in public seems silly and self-serving. But it's all part of the subjugation of female-presenting people. It's still #techBro #thePatriarchy - designed #algorithms declaring "only we have the authority to decide women's bodies are sexually explicit unless they adhere to what we, the men, decide are permissible modes of living." It's #rapeCulture, its the objectification of women's bodies without our #consent, it's taking away our #bodilyAutonomy while granting male bodies (again, adhering to whatever arbitrary scale determines what a "male" or "female" body is) freedom. It's BS.

  2. CW: clothed eye contact, discussing topless sexism

    I'm currently outside in 90+ degree weather, #gardening #mowing and picking up dog poop on preparation for the kids' birthday party this weekend and I sure wish I could take my shirt off in this heat exactly like my husband and male children, but alas we live in a #sexist #misgynist society controlled by #thePatriarchy who have decreed that "female looking nipples are sexually explicit" while "male looking nipples" aren't, and I don't want our trumper neighbors reporting me for "child abuse" just for being topless in front of my kids 🙃

  3. CW: discussing transphobia, misogyny, sexism

    Today's short video:

    #topless #transWOMEN banned from #WhiteHouse #Pride event but not topless #transMAN

    tiktok.com/@toplesstopicstv/vi

    instagram.com/reel/Cte7IESOgim

    youtu.be/q1b6zsUBv0A

    at a #biden #government sponsored #pride event, a group of #transwomen #trans #activists were banned from attending future #whiteHouse events for the heinous unforgivable sin of posting chests-without-tops videos to #socialMedia, while the #transMAN right next to them who was ALSO chest-without-top, DIDN'T get banned. how curious!
    honestly if you're surprised, you're not paying attention
    over and over I've said, what better demonstrates the blatant #sexism and #misogyny of how a #transfolk or #nonbinary person gains or loses the right to go without a shirt in public and on #socialMedia? how is it not #transphobic AF to tell a transman "we don't care what you identify as- until you've had #topSurgery, #thepatriarchy has decided that you still look too female, and therefore will still be subjected to #censorship that all #AFAB and all #cisWomen face"? how is it not transphobic to say to a transwoman, "good thing you are flat chested with broad shoulders, that means you still get to enjoy the freedom to go shirtless in public as all AMAB and #CISmen!"? and that's not even getting into the nonsense of assigning gender, and therefore restricting rights, of those who identify as #genderless or #genderfluid!
    WHY ARE MORE PEOPLE NOT OUTRAGED BY THIS?? how are the vast majority of #Americans, even supposed #liberals, #leftists and #progressives, just so unthinkingly accepting of this continued #injustice?

  4. CW: discussing when/why I might switch to a female-nipple-friendly but not sex worker or nudist-focused instance

    so far I've been happy on @eldritch.cafe (even though I don't speak French, the people and mods on here have been decent, and the 5000 character limit on posts is much appreciated.) but as you'd expect from a smaller instance, I get very few or no results for many tags that are important to me, like #contentCreator #youtube #twitch #livestream #videoInterview #vlogger #videoEssayist #socialCommentary #thepatriarchy and many similar tags.

    so it might be useful for me to try out another, more content creator-inclusive server sometime. but I'm not sure there's really a perfect fit out there.

    for one thing, character count is important to me, and so many instances (I presume founded by Twitter users) leave theirs at the default 500, which I find stifling. even 1000 is frequently irritating, when I've gotten used to 5000. I also don't understand the appeal of tight character limits, since people just then write out long, rambling threads of posts, that can easily be taken out of context to warp their whole argument and leave them rife for misinterpretation (see: "quote tweeting")

    beyond that, while my videos focus on so many #progressive causes I care about, like #feminism #lgbtq #queer #equalRights #genderdiscrimination #genderEquality #houselessness #mentalHealthcare #transRights #racialEquality and many other #leftwing #USpolitics, because I do my videos topless, there are basically no platforms I can host my content until I can somehow convince sponsors to pay me so I can set up my own hosting-- @tio is kind enough to let me post my uncensored videos to his #peertube server, but there's no real searchability within peertube (as evinced by how many people suggest I post my content to peertube, which I already have been for years...) and putting censored videos of my videos on mainstream platforms that tell people to visit my website to see my uncensored videos doesn't work well, both because of how often my content gets #banned even when it's fully censored (thanks, haters), and because many people are a little, well... 😏 I can only say "follow the link written on the video" (because I'll get banned for "linking to porn" if I put a clickable link in my video description or social media post) so many times.

    back to switching instances, the main reason I picked Eldritch Cafe several years ago is because, being French, they don't have the same blatantly misogynistic puritanical views towards "female nipples" being unacceptable viewing outside of explicit sexual situations. they just want them placed under a content warning, as you'd expect on basically every server. but alas, like I said, there just aren't really any other content creators that I've found on here, especially not vloggers/social commentary/video essayists like me (idk what the distinction is, really). that's why it might make more sense for me to move instances, much as I've come to feel comfortable here.

    but then the crux of the problem arises--I am, first and foremost, a #toplessequality activist. I want "the same rights for 'female looking nipples' that 'male looking nipples' get." while I was raised a nudist, and for a little while there I did a fair amount of content catering to nudists (talking about #nudism / #naturism , being fully naked instead of just topless, etc...) but I've really been finding the urge to distance myself from nudists lately, for reasons I go into detail here: toplesstopics.org/nomorenudism the tl;dr version is that just talking about nudism all the time is boring to me, and I resent how so many of the (straight cis male) nudists who would exchange my videos amongst themselves would skim right past my whole "fight for gender equality" and just use me as a (more culturally appealing than yet more straight white cis male) nudist figurehead. a lot of nudists are also very anti-sex worker, which goes against my morals- I fully believe that #sexWorkIsWork, and any #consensual #sexWork is fine by me.

    what I resent is that, when it comes to mainstream platforms, only being allowed to post my uncensored female nipples on platforms that allow explicit sexual material. I am NOT a sex worker, I DO NOT do anything actually sexual in my videos-- I have interviews with #adultFilm actors, #camgirls, #kink educators, etc, but it's discussion only, we don't DO anything sexual, or go into graphic detail about sexual acts. but because of puritanical American society, the only places I can simply be topless-while-female is on places like Onlyfans, Mewe and Joystick.tv - - places already overflowing with porn.

  5. CW: fully clothed video expressing my frustration over pornbots obsessing over my nipples in particular

    new short:

    caption:

    I've been making #toplessEquality content for a full decade now and I will never understand why all these pornbots are so pathetic that they keep slithering all over and reuploading MY nipples in particular. why? why? why? it's not like it's hard to find boobs on the internet! WHY DO THEY ALL KEEP OBSESSING OVER -MINE-?

    (clarification for those new to my content: I am entirely pro- #sexWorker, I have several interviews with sex workers in fact, I'm just anti- having-all-female-nipples-classified-as-sexually-explicit-nudity-at-all-times 🤬)

  6. It's hard to read old #RomanceComics without constantly raising a fist and screaming against "The Patriarchy!!" This one teaches a young woman how to be gaslit by an abusive alcoholic with a gambling problem. To her credit, she ends up preferring a creep who was mean to her at the outset instead of hiding his assholishness, so that's pretty progressive.

  7. quick little new video on tiktok, Instagram and YouTube. I'm eagerly waiting to see which platform bans me first for briefly including a screenshot of Bustle's own Instagram post.

    video description:

    reading #sexist #misgynist #transphobic #bodyShaming #antiFeminism #hate on #toplessEquality because #internalizedMisogyny is everywhere and even #femme identifying #queer people often perpetuate the same harmful #genderEquality issues perpetrated by #thePatriarchy without even realizing they're only hurting themselves (and everyone else)

  8. Just made a #sworker resources room in our #discord server, for #sexWorkers to let others know about #adultContent - friendly #socialMedia , #livestream and #video platforms, informative articles, etc. Please feel free to check it out by joining our #outcastCreatorCollective server at discord.gg/cMtKd8j3 where you'll find a supportive community of "outcast #contentCreators" and our supporters, by which we mean #creators who often face #censorship, #shadowbans, #bannedContent, and other forms of persecution online that "#capitalismFriendly" content approved of by #thePatriarchy do not have to endure.

    You don't have to be a creator yourself (or specialize in #nudity #sexWorker or other often-censored types of content), just be prepared to cross paths with those who are, and remain respectful. :)

    The main parts of the server are all SFW and require additional age verification to access the #18plus areas, so you don't have to worry about stumbling into sexually explicit content if you don't want!

    Thanks and we really hope to get to know you! Our goal is to grow a diverse, supportive and useful network of outcast creators where we can #collaborate, commiserate, share resources, and even make new friends!
