A Lemmy user’s worst nightmare. Somebody finding out what porn they’ve been looking at. Progressive in so many ways except when it comes to porn.

What’s so non-progressive about futa furry chicks with massive dicks?

It is crazy how many men get pissed when you tell them that “futa” is a slur; often because “everyone uses it.”

“futa” is a slur

Maybe if you’re using it to refer to trans women.

But that’s not what I’m talking about. I’m talking about imaginary furry girls who were either born that way or magicked up a dick somehow.

My guy, trans women are real, objectifying depictions of them in fiction are imaginary. If you make a stereotypical and dehumanizing representation of a real group of people, I’m afraid that you can’t just say “well, I made it up,” and dissuade any criticism of how this relates to real world politics and its violence. Incredible porn-brained reasoning here.

Why are you assuming the depiction would be dehumanizing? Just how constrained do you want porn artists and their viewers to be? Bigoted and hateful porn exists, but so does porn with a progressive message, and the distinction is not which groups of people have been depicted.

If you want to focus on the word and move the euphemism treadmill along because it’s become associated with offensive stereotypes, that’s understandable, but you’re probably not getting any closer by calling people r*dditors just for saying it. As porn tags go I think ‘futanari’ is overall on its way out, for instance you won’t find it on the tag lists of e621 posts because the word is aliased to other tags and not used directly.
