For charities that depend on persistent donors and the brand health that brings in new donors, rejecting the video is worth much more than $7,000 in the future.
The irony is that all these morons trying to protect these women have only in succeeded in keeping money out of the hands of people who need it, and for the women who participated now they just motorboated for no reason.
Good job guys.
I think that it's relevant considering some of the crazy posts itt. I don't know about the first couple of words but "Sex-Fearing Bubble-Person Prudism" is pretty accurate for many of them.
They judge people and situations using ridiculous standards that are completely incompatible with the real world (thus the bubble person) and they are extremely prude trying to paint everything that involves sex as perverted, exploitative, creepy and so on especially if it involves men. This thread is testament to it. Fun fact: the person asking "What the hell?" at Evilore's post was comparing the situation to rape, blackmail and sexual assault just a few pages ago.
I'm a big proponent of equal rights but crap like this is have nothing to do with equal rights and everything to do with internet feminism's (or to be more precise a very big part of it) fear/hate of sex.

Ok cool. Everyone else stop donating to Breast Cancer! Persistent Donors got this shit!
How do you know its worth more in the future? Whos to say that the people this charity gained from refusing this money is larger than the people they lost due to this?
Who said I was? I'm most definitley going by how I feel. The reason I used her as an example is to show that a victim was offended so anyone acting like there's no victims that care are wrong.
I will say I think their viewpoint is a heck of a lot more important than mine or yours.
You're dismissing our view's as trolling, so yes, you're basically calling us trolls unless we conform to your opinion.
Where have I expressed sexually conservative views? In fact, most posters in the thread haven't. Look how many of us are in the Rashida Jones thread calling her out on calling women whores for exposing themselves in the industry.
That's the exact opposite of what I said.
Because that's how PR works? Brand health is utmost, and being associated with people who can potentially harm your brand is always a bad idea.

I agree that it is. I'm just saying just because some people don't like something doesn't necessarily mean that thing is wrong.

Ok, fine. you win, I give up.
Also you can't read which is another problem...
Eh, what I'm saying is that one can be sexually open in one situation and prudish towards sex in another.

Is it childish and dumb? Sure...but unlike most childish and dumb internet stuff...this actually contributed to a good cause. I understand why some women are offended by this so I won't attack them, but come on. $7000.
Pornhub had a breast cancer drive last year iirc, where they donated add/hit money to charities. I spent a year days busting nuts there instead of at Xhamster, just to support a good cause. Ultimately the money went to a good cause, who cares.

Fair enough. I still don't think that applies to anyone in the thread, however.
I can read perfectly fine, thank you. You said you hoped we were all trolls for our sake. Sure, you're not technically calling us trolls but you're basically saying our argument is trolling and if not you "pity" us which is basically just an excuse to dismiss our argument.

I guess I still don't understand why thinking that using incentivized donation for breast cancer to motorboat women is gross makes me a prude.

That doesn't really describe me, and I'm someone who's a feminist both on the internet and outside of it.
If it makes you feel better, I disagree with you wholeheartedly on the topic but I don't think it makes you a prude.
Because it's a thinly veiled excuse to criticize the sexual content of the video and people have repeatedly proven to you itt how terrible of an excuse it is.
It doesn't make you a prude.
People need to understand that we don't have any issue with someone motorboating womens breasts as long as there is consent. Where our issue takes place is as you said, using incentivized donation to do it.

In addition to Scooter's comments...
Whether it was your intention or not, I think the effect of presenting yourself as "sex-positive" (which is not something I'm disputing--you very well may be just that) creates the effect of you serving as an arbiter of what is and what isn't acceptable for seemingly consenting adults to do (or have done to them). It rhetorically positions you as someone with the authority to redefine the notion of consent on the spot, which I find somewhat insulting and infantilizing.

Oh, so I am just against the sexual content of the video by itself? I am not allowed, from this moment, to have any criticism of anything that is remotely related to anything sexual because that automatically makes me a prude just freaking out over sex? Huh.
I would be VERY interested to have a peek at your well hidden porn stash.

Most people, like fiction, were only saying that because people were calling them prudes. Any other meaning you have taken from that (particularly a stuck up one) is not the fault of those who said it.

Can we just change the thread to "Take screenshots of your porn folder" now?
That topic seems like it would be more fun. :/

It just seems like alot of modern feminism/social justice activism tends to make the leap from "that's tasteless, and I don't personally like it" to "What patriarchal garbage! We must shame this into oblivion!"
Not saying that's necessarily what you, specifically, are doing in this thread, but as I said, I don't think it's so obscure that people who seem to want to govern others' sexual experiences and attitudes might be called prudish, in a broad sense, even if they're doing so for seemingly progressive reasons.
Edit: I think "bubble people" likely refers more to the idea that such people live in a bubble, separated from the actual world around them.

Open that Pizza Recipe txt

300g flour
.5 tablespoon sugar
2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon instant yeast
1.5 tablespoon olive oil
200ml warm water
It's pretty basic stuff.
As for "porn folders", aren't they a bit passé?
Why download something you'll probably never watch more than once when you can stream an infinite configuration of titillating pixels?
what the hell? I was wondering why this thread was still chugging along. Come in and find out that their donation was rejected? What a bunch of crap. Probably a bunch of internet prudes white knighting, but then when their horny turn to porn and have no problem with a lot of the degrading shit that women have to do in a lot of porn, as long as they can rub one out!
Then I really don't get it.
Porn folders are for material that has been given to you and you can't find anywhere else. Maybe I'm weird for liking to look through that stuff more than once.

People don't give each other porn?
People give me porn too. "OMG check this one out, it's amazing."

It wasn't really a "comparison." It was more an example to show that just because someone finds something offensive doesn't really mean anything in and of itself. One's reasons behind those feelings are more important.
But I'm not sure the focus was on saving boobies. Or at least, I think they intended "boobies" to be a stand-in for the women who have them. And they assumed that people were intelligent enough to understand that. We refer to people by their characteristics all the time. "Those redheads over there" or "Who are the suits?" or "Check out Mr. Muscles" or any other number of examples. Saving "boobies" is just a tongue-in-cheek metaphor. Granted, I'm sure there's a bit of a literal element to it in that these guys also want to save actual breasts because they enjoy them, but I think it's clear they're talking about saving people's lives as well. It's not an either/or proposition.
I'm still not understanding why them getting something out of the deal is a bad thing. Again, it might not be the optimally good thing, but how is it bad?
And, sure, the women could have a multitude of reasons for agreeing. But outside of coercion through violence or something like that, I'm not sure why that matters. If I offered you $5 to give me a high five, you might only acquiesce because you don't want to seem uptight or you might really need the money or you might just really like high fives. Who knows? But I will treat you as a mature adult who is capable of handling such a decision. Just like here, I assume those women are competent and capable enough to make that decision for themselves. Just like I'd assume men would be competent and capable enough to make such a decision.
Yes, they might have felt pressure. But that's true of so many decisions that people make daily ("Should I go out with this guy even though my parents disapprove of him?", "What should I wear today at the interview to make the best impression?", "Everyone else is taking shots, should I have one?"). You wouldn't ask the same questions about those decisions. Why is this one any different?
I think you do a disservice to women when you treat them as children incapable of choosing things on their own. Even if social pressure is involved. News flash: women are sometimes capable of standing up to social pressure. And I'm sure there were a lot who did and were left out of the video.
Sounds gross. 4/10 would not eat!
I'm a little torn on this. On one hand they could of given some money to research, but on the other the whole thing comes off a a little sleezy and childish. But the ladies in the video seems okay with the whole thing, so I don't know.

You sexual deviants you. Sharing porn, watching porn together, what's next? Making some sexy videos yourselves?
My porn folder is also for stuff that was "given" to me as well but when I saw that I mean its of people I know personally. Yes, I like to save that stuff and yes, it gets used sometimes.
