In our latest episode we start off with a brief discussion about the passing of George HW Bush and the media coverage of his presidency. We then break down the Easter eggs in the new Captain Marvel trailer, speculating on story line and characters. We spend the majority of the podcast discussing Tumblr’s decision to purge all “adult content” from its website. We talk about how this decision targets certain marginalized groups, genders, sexualities, and fetishes. We talk about the increasing centralizing of social media and the consolidation of power in a handful of corporation. We discuss the dangers of algorithms, the problematic categories of porn, the limitations on expression. We dig deep to analyze the intersection of social media, sexuality, and free speech.
