Why some men bully and hate on women who post here their own images? Specifically women who have a link in their bio.
As somebody who is not enjoying watching nor listening to ads, I understand that part, but we still get to see those beautiful/sexy photos/videos for free.
And even those women who post without any aggressive promotion, variety of content (not recycling the same photo in different sub-communities), not providing any links directly in their posts nor asking for anything and just enjoying being social, get attacked too. Why?
What has happened to live and let live? Why being so rude and disrespectful? I truly don’t get it.
I mean I have a theory, but I would hate to offend anyone, it’s just not in me to be disrespectful, so I keep it to myself for now.
That said, I also would like to acknowledge that vast majority of Lemmy NSWF members are awesome and many thanks to you all for building this fun community.
Why is it always assumed it’s men? For what we know, it could be some jealous Karens. You can be whoever you want to be on the internet.
Personallly I am a bit annoyed when all I see are OF promotions, especially if their owners treat it only as such - e.g. never communicating or responding, clearly stating “I only respond on OF, not DMs” etc. Especially ironic when professional porn stars are often more willing to talk to their fans, but for lots of OF chicks that’s somehow beneath them.
So I guess this whole culture has spoiled the fun quite a bit. But then, I’m not the one writing ugly comments (not to this kind of content anyway) and I do appreciate if the content is good and varied. So I don’t know if that’s the answer you’re after. People just generally need to learn to take a deep breath before writing to a stranger.
Ed: Oh also, we also often get spammed by OF links, as in via DMs. Hasn’t happened to me on Lemmy yet but that’s also a way to sour the mood.
Because it is men.
Not ALL, not even vast majority, but still. Bad apples leave a bad taste and rotten the whole bunch…
I’m yet to see female creator leaving nasty comments under another female creator. We are usually supporting each other, or just moving on. It takes incredible amount of courage and thick skin to put ourselves out there knowing there will be so many hateful people. Nobody expects thanks, like we are used to having zero appreciation for all the work and time that goes into creating content we share for free… but being abused on top of that is just insanity!
I don’t even promote, I share my photos and try to make this community grow and to be a fun place to interact. Yes I have a link in my bio, I’m not sending anyone to it, nor plastering it anywhere in my titles nor comments. I haven’t posted same photo anywhere. I love being social and having fun chats with like minded people.
The entitlement of getting everything for free can go both ways, you know?
I would happily have all my photo equipment, travel to locations, laptop, outfits and cost of time spend travelling, setting up, taking photos and editing given for free without showing anything in return.
But I do it mainly for myself for fun, because I enjoy it. But yeah it cost shit loads of money so I finally gave in and created that link.
