The porn fairy of the woods used to leave out magazines for boob men and the implants some of those women had were ludicrous. Not to mention every guy was roided out.
Glad there’s been a push in society to be accepting again of people and their body types. Even if porn today still falls into the same tropes of the 80’s and 90’s.
Hexbear: we proudly protect our trans users
Also hexbear: LOL PUMPED FULL OF PLASTIC
Fuck off.
It’s about how beauty standards in porn tend to err towards ridiculous over time and how it hurts sex worker’s bodies and viewers self perceptions, not how plastic surgery is inherently bad. Plastic surgery is not bad and is in fact cool as hell.
I don’t mean to come off as disrespectful towards trans comrades, I’m just commenting on how fucked up it was at the time. If you think I’m being transphobic I’ll delete the thread.
I don’t think it’s transphobic at all, but it does make me feel a little bad about the top surgery I’m going to be getting here in the next few months. I wasn’t aware people weren’t exactly welcoming of implants.
You def should not feel bad at all. Be proud of them.
I think in here it’s discussing how studios almost required porn actors to have plastic surgery
If it helps a trans comrade then I’m for them
I’m probably just particularly sensitive today. But I do think critiques of pornography that focus on people’s bodies is pretty gross in general.
The issue is that pornography portrays an infeasible standard for most people’s bodies. When perfection is the norm, nobody’s good enough.
No worries. I don’t really have the vocab to express what I’m thinking which is “it’s fucked up porn producers wanted women to do that to their bodies to sell products”. I guess is more in the vein what I was trying to say.
