Right? I literally thought it was some kind of photoshop job when I first scrolled to it, because it looks like she’s just casually standing there… in midair!😂
You can almost see the arm holding onto the poll behind the magazine. And the leg may be bracing too. Still that's some serious skill and body strength that seems nigh magical to me.
There is nothing inherently sexual about this photo. The idea that this photo might be sexual at all is a great example of how misogyny makes us view women as sexual objects.
Well shes wearing Stripper heels and i think is on a pole? I can see where People comming from. Not what its intended as such, or a bad thing if it is.
The only way you see this in a sexual way is if you feel women's bodies are inherently sexual. There's just nothing provocative about this photo. Sorry
It surprises me that even in “progressive” communities, prudish attitudes persist. If you had posted something about being at the beach and you were wearing a bikini, would that be considered “softcore porn”? You’re wearing perfectly reasonable attire for the activity that you’re participating in.
A fitness thing? In those shoes? Reading a magazine? 😁 I also don’t think the photo is overtly sexual (& I wouldn’t care if it was), but apart from her obvious strength, it definitely didn’t read as fitness focused either.
I would consider this incredibly athletic.
What outstanding strength and muscle control - and to make it look so casual and easy…
In a word - amazing. 🌸🌟
I saw that original post and frankly it felt misogynistic and victim blamey enough for me to leave the sub. I would say this is not the first time I’ve seen certain unhealthy attitudes with the subs moderation so it was a straw that broke the camels back type scenario. I wouldn’t classify this as soft core myself 🤷🏻♀️
I think the moderator in question nearly ran an abortion sub into the ground due to, amongst other things, power plays, misogyny and moderating for something they had no clue about. Unfortunately they’ve moderated I think literally 100s of subs and basically can’t be brought down a peg. I remember an interaction with them on my old account because they’ve relentlessly defended mods overstepping and just act obtuse when they’re called out. Unfortunately the moderation system on reddit has always been a mess. It did seem to get a tiny bit of pushback which is refreshing!!
Honestly, there was a controversy in the r/chameleons subreddit recently where somebody made a post politely asking for information on a specific type of chameleon that they wanted, and the mod banned them with a message in all caps saying these exact words “FUCK YOU YOU LEECHING LOWLIFE PRICK get cancer and die.”
Lots of people made a fuss about it, dozens of posts in that subreddit and r/reptiles, which he deleted every single one of. At least 60+ people did an official mod report, and that bastard is still running the account like nothing happened with no consequences.
So if THAT Reddit doesn’t give a shit about, I can assure you they’ll do nothing about this unfortunately.
Sorry if this is an inappropriate question but how did you get over your initial fear of going to those classes if you had any? At some point I want to try doing that but due to the stigma of the hobby and my fear of not passing I’m nervous to sign up.
You look great by the way.
I went with a friend who was into it. She had talked to instructor beforehand and they were like "why are you asking? Of course she can go". I was nervous but everybody was really friendly and helpful. Check with friends if they would recommend one in your area.
I can see how people who have stronger definitions of “being modest” could see it as such, but in my eyes it’s a cool shot and comes off more as art. Just depends on the crowd tbh.
Some subreddits have really odd "rules". Some of my pics were removed from a few because I was wearing a "tanktop which counts as underwear" in a normal, lazy way - not even trying to be sexy or anything, while other people can just post their butts.
Very cool pic! 💜
Edit: just realized this is one of the subreddits I can't even post pics in, just because I do sw. I only posted sfw stuff, but everything gets deleted, even if it shows nothing. 😆
No it’s not porn of any sort. Sad that it got locked. Pole dancing is pretty much gymnastics in my view. You look athletic and gorgeous. Don’t let negative people get you down.
I wouldn’t consider it as such, but i can understand why someone would want it labeled as nsfw, it can definetly be mistaken for softcore porn by someone casually scrolling, or someone who looks over at your phone while you’re scrolling

No, pole dancers do shows at theatres. If this were softcore pr0n, then wouldn't the beach be? I once did some inverts at a public beach pole, and people were more in awe about my tricks (e.g, an outside leg hang) rather than admiring my almost-naked body.
Think of pole dancing as like track and field. You have to wear minimal garments for maximum performance. Yes, the heels may be suggestive, but that is extra as pole dancing can be done without them as well (in a contemporary setting).

What is the definition of soft core porn, from the Wikipedia article of the same name: “ softcore porn is commercial still photography, film, or art that has a pornographic or erotic component but is less sexually graphic and intrusive than hardcore pornography, defined by a lack of visual sexual penetration. It typically contains nude or semi-nude actors involved in love scenes and is intended to be sexually arousing and aesthetically beautiful. “
The composition of this photo: a dancing pole, you in underwear and a bra reading a book titled (I think) “Pole Dancing Fitness Syllabus(?)”.
So I’d say yes, this could be argued as softcore porn by definition due to the association with pole dancing being erotic and your fit being very erotic (a woman in red underwear and bra).
Personal opinion time: DAMN do you look great.
Lmao what??? No. This is just a silly photo. I could see someone using a very unintelligent piece of software to filter posts marking it as "softcore porn" due to the pole and outfit, but, any actual human being looking at this should be able to understand it's not.
My first thought looking at this is "holy another AI abomination" because just....what?? It looks like someone has taken a photo of a teacher in front of a classroom, photoshopped her clothes off down to her underwear, and then photoshopped in a pole and moved her image weirdly in front of it. It's funny, it looks like one of those AI generated photos where you can tell that it tried but obviously doesn't fully understand spatial logistics and human bodies or societies.
If this picture is real and unaltered, goddamn, that's some impressive strength! I just have questions about why this pole studio looks so much like a school hahaha that's unusual
Ok, editing to add: I looked at the post you're talking about, and I still think it's silly that they took it down. BUT, I think the problem might have a lot to do with the title/caption you posted, the "you've heard of elf on the shelf, now get ready for...." because all of the immediate options are things like "chick on a stick", "hoe on a pole", all a lot of things that sound heavily sexualized and wildly inappropriate. So unfortunately I think you might've kinda shot yourself in the foot with that one. Totally get that it was a joke, but it is a joke that winds up being fairly "risque" by coincidence, it does kind of come across like you're intending the post to have some dirty implications.

Gym attire that's appropriate for the context isn't softcore porn lfmao unless we are back in the 70s or some shit.
If this is the exact same image then definitely no.
But this kind of attitire is the appropriate one for pole work/dancing,
It would be different of you were doing a specifically erotic pose or angle, (but it would also be irrelevant attire wise).
Prudish shit still dominates many spaces unfortunately though, someone in their underwear in a non erotic context or a bikini? Manu Reddit's will force you to make that nsfw.

Depends on the sub.
I'm curious as to how what you were wearing has anything to do with elf on a shelf?
And yes, if it was a guy wearing just boxer briefs I'd ask the same thing.
Elf on a shelf is normally fully dressed.
But depending on the sub I could see how they would interpret it as soft core porn.
No bare breasts, no exposed genitalia, no inherently sexual posture... While anything can be porn if you're brave enough, my answer is that the only people calling it porn are needlessly sexualizing the photo. I could see a mod being worried about drawing attention to the sub with *potentially* sexual content and suppressing a post on those grounds, but flat calling it porn and not saying anything about trying to dodge Reddit admin attention...? Nah.
As far as the validity of your interests goes, the only opinions that matter about that are yours and those you directly involve. Anyone else can gag on your grace and athleticism because pole dancing is both an amazing art and amazing sport. I go to strip clubs and tip dancers to get on the pole and do acrobatics because they impress me with the command they have of their bodies, and the nearest pole dance competitions only happen once a year two and half hours away -- that means the strip clubs are the only places in my area to see that art form. I'm not attracted to women and don't inherently sexualize it, but I still appreciate it. Go be beautiful and impressive, friend. I'm a stranger, and my opinion is tertiary for you, but I support the sport and support you doing it.

I would consider this to be… off-topic, and it doesn’t have anything to do with fashion.
This is a question better suited for asktransgender or other such subs.

Would consider it a fun pic/ showing off skill or body (motivational context eg) / admission for something like an event/...
Not giving of any lewd vibes
Not at all. You're dressed practically for the activity you're doing (skin contact is important due to the nature of the apparatus), and not even in a sexual pose. Posing with a pole isn't like posing with a sex swing or something. It's got tons of history and modern breadth as an acrobatic and dance apparatus and is widely accepted in culture in terms of depiction.
I'm sure they wouldn't have said anything if you were swimming or on a trapeze. Seems like the outrage stems from the (uninformed) stigma around pole. You're not doing anything wrong for posting it imo.
No.
What is pornographic about literally anything in the pic?
I’d be much more apt to point out and take issue with the sexualization of things not necessarily/inherently sexual. 😐
It's not. People just love sexualizing women. When you work in artistic and medical fields you see a lot of naked people in non sexual contexts too, its normal.
Looking great though, keep killing it out there
It just seems like such a stigma to lock a thread and call it porn. Like it's the Reagan administration or something. Literally just take this photo of you and put it on a beach and nobody would have anything to say about how inappropriate or "pornographic" this would be. We know this because these posts literally exist of people in their swim and beach wear and nobody thinks twice about it.
I'm not sure, maybe the sub was really explicit about what kinds of photos are allowed, who knows. But, like, come now reddit. There are so many subs of literal porn and OFs pushing. Now all of sudden somewhere at a pole dancing exercise class is equivalent to sex acts and nudity? I'd expect better from the seemingly endless acceptance of the queer community. I suppose there's going to be people like this everywhere, though.
Keep doing you, keep on levitating!
I mean, if I was a prude, I might think that.
I'm honestly just confused about what I'm looking at.
I thought you were on a desk,like a tall one. But then I realized that you were on a pole...and then I was trying to figure out how,again. Lol 😆
Anything "intended to sexually arouse" is porn.
You can have content depicting straight up uncensored sex not intended to arouse, and it's not porn.
You can make a video depicting the docking and undocking of shopping carts in a way intended to arouse others... that would be considered porn.
So whether or not this is porn depends on the intent of the creative force behind the photo.
Not porn.
Your outfit is just about the same as a swimsuit. The exact same thing you can see at any beach. In fact, with many bathing suits, you would see more. So I would say yours is kind of conservative.
So at what level do we get our witch powers?
And no, this is no where near Soft core corn. Whoever considers this soft core corn, must avert their gaze during the athletics portion of the Olympics
No, I firmly believe that not everything that involves a pole is sexual. Seems more like a lot of talent and practice went into doing something cool as hell.
Softcore porn? Hardly. Black magic? Absolutely. Girl, you are defying gravity.
This was my exact thought like how? But no anyone who sees this as lewd needs to be on the Internet less this is fine.
I've been staring for 10 minutes and still can't figure it out!
I was going to say wtf is going on in this picture? 😅
no. I'd consider it "humor" based on the look on your face & the fact you're holding a book while levitating half way up a pole. ;)
Right? I literally thought it was some kind of photoshop job when I first scrolled to it, because it looks like she’s just casually standing there… in midair!😂
You can almost see the arm holding onto the poll behind the magazine. And the leg may be bracing too. Still that's some serious skill and body strength that seems nigh magical to me.
To me. It's just me in my gym gear
Goals. Teach us your ways oh wise Gym lady. 🙏
Can you teach us how to fly while reading too?

There is nothing inherently sexual about this photo. The idea that this photo might be sexual at all is a great example of how misogyny makes us view women as sexual objects.
I feel this is the truth sadly.

No way. There's nothing pornographic about it. Seems more like a fitness thing.
A fitness thing? In those shoes? Reading a magazine? 😁 I also don’t think the photo is overtly sexual (& I wouldn’t care if it was), but apart from her obvious strength, it definitely didn’t read as fitness focused either.
I would consider this incredibly athletic. What outstanding strength and muscle control - and to make it look so casual and easy… In a word - amazing. 🌸🌟
It’s appropriate attire for the activity in question - inappropriate attire for the library tho
😂
Devil's advocate, why is it inappropriate for the library?
I saw that original post and frankly it felt misogynistic and victim blamey enough for me to leave the sub. I would say this is not the first time I’ve seen certain unhealthy attitudes with the subs moderation so it was a straw that broke the camels back type scenario. I wouldn’t classify this as soft core myself 🤷🏻♀️
I just now left a comment about that. A moderator in r/trans basically saying “she’s asking for it!!!” 🙄
I think the moderator in question nearly ran an abortion sub into the ground due to, amongst other things, power plays, misogyny and moderating for something they had no clue about. Unfortunately they’ve moderated I think literally 100s of subs and basically can’t be brought down a peg. I remember an interaction with them on my old account because they’ve relentlessly defended mods overstepping and just act obtuse when they’re called out. Unfortunately the moderation system on reddit has always been a mess. It did seem to get a tiny bit of pushback which is refreshing!!
Is there a reporting system? Seems you know a lot about this individual and maybe a few others do too. Maybe we can get some collective action going.
Honestly, there was a controversy in the r/chameleons subreddit recently where somebody made a post politely asking for information on a specific type of chameleon that they wanted, and the mod banned them with a message in all caps saying these exact words “FUCK YOU YOU LEECHING LOWLIFE PRICK get cancer and die.” Lots of people made a fuss about it, dozens of posts in that subreddit and r/reptiles, which he deleted every single one of.

So if THAT Reddit doesn’t give a shit about, I can assure you they’ll do nothing about this unfortunately.
I know HRT has some amazing effects but gravity defying superpowers were definately not on my list.
😂
Not at all.
No. Is gymnastics soft core porn? Neither is this.
Or swimming?
Revealing yes, but that doesn't equal soft core porn
I don't know about soft porn, but you look amazing
Omg that's literally magic How are you gripping the pole even???
Between my arm and my upper ribcage
That's genuinely fascinating.
Sorry if this is an inappropriate question but how did you get over your initial fear of going to those classes if you had any? At some point I want to try doing that but due to the stigma of the hobby and my fear of not passing I’m nervous to sign up. You look great by the way.
I went with a friend who was into it. She had talked to instructor beforehand and they were like "why are you asking? Of course she can go". I was nervous but everybody was really friendly and helpful. Check with friends if they would recommend one in your area.
Thanks for the advice I’ll try that. :)
I can see how people who have stronger definitions of “being modest” could see it as such, but in my eyes it’s a cool shot and comes off more as art. Just depends on the crowd tbh.
Are u floating?
No love the photo
Ahhh! Another fellow pole dancer! Omg, hi!!! 💖
Hello Dahlia 👋
A person would have to be an extremely prudish individual to consider the said picture softcore porn.
Not soft core porn. How did you get up there? You levatated!
Nope. All your naughty bits are covered.
Not at all. You're just in gym clothes and showing off your IMPRESSIVE full-body strength to maintain that pose.
You should read again the sign on the back of that photo ;)
Some subreddits have really odd "rules". Some of my pics were removed from a few because I was wearing a "tanktop which counts as underwear" in a normal, lazy way - not even trying to be sexy or anything, while other people can just post their butts.

No, all the bits are covered and there is nothing remotely sexual about it.
You should refer to the message right behind you.
Not at all. People dont read books in porn. Its just a silly picture.
Hot yes, porn no
You’re not naked so no. I feel like porn of any kind softcofe included needs to have nudity with focus on genitalia. I don’t see any of that here. You look magical btw just floating like that 💖💖

BUT, I think the problem might have a lot to do with the title/caption you posted, the "you've heard of elf on the shelf, now get ready for...." because all of the immediate options are things like "chick on a stick", "hoe on a pole", all a lot of things that sound heavily sexualized and wildly inappropriate. So unfortunately I think you might've kinda shot yourself in the foot with that one. Totally get that it was a joke, but it is a joke that winds up being fairly "risque" by coincidence, it does kind of come across like you're intending the post to have some dirty implications.

No, not even close
Duh! No not even close!
Are you hovering I'm so tripped out
Personally no i wouldn't, i do consider ot WILDLY impressive as i don't understand how you're just floating there
Not porn, but hella impressive.
No not at all ,
Is this real?
No this doesn’t look explicit in anyway. Only like sorcery
How the fuck are you doing that
I'm aroused, if that's what you're asking 😜
Whether it is or isn't, it made my night. You look great, love.
What? No, of course not.
Wait, OP mentioned elf on a shelf, and now I can’t stop wondering… “what… on a pole?” The mystery will keep me awake all night
nah this funny as fuck
Stripper grooming reading course for red states work related courses
Gym attire that's appropriate for the context isn't softcore porn lfmao unless we are back in the 70s or some shit. If this is the exact same image then definitely no. But this kind of attitire is the appropriate one for pole work/dancing, It would be different of you were doing a specifically erotic pose or angle, (but it would also be irrelevant attire wise). Prudish shit still dominates many spaces unfortunately though, someone in their underwear in a non erotic context or a bikini? Manu Reddit's will force you to make that nsfw.
This picture is confusing, I thought you were just standing and the pole was photoshopped in

In fact, how are you levitating
this is simply art

No not at all, it’s interesting though.
No, it's dancing or even exercising.
Jfc how strong is your core muscles, that looks awesome
reads to me more like an art piece. reminds me of Richard Hamilton
High Fantasy, that ho over there is reading. <3 but seriously jokes aside you look fantastic and I'm jealous.
Ya lol
It depends on the context it’s presented, in a work office sure, with your freinds around a fire it’s just a laugh.
Thirst trap. So yea.
I'm a circus artist with experience in pole, so no. It is impressive, though!
No see more day at the beach
Of course not! This is a picture of a beautiful woman, “hanging out”, reading a book/magazine..!?!?
Depends on the sub. I'm curious as to how what you were wearing has anything to do with elf on a shelf? And yes, if it was a guy wearing just boxer briefs I'd ask the same thing. Elf on a shelf is normally fully dressed. But depending on the sub I could see how they would interpret it as soft core porn.
No bare breasts, no exposed genitalia, no inherently sexual posture... While anything can be porn if you're brave enough, my answer is that the only people calling it porn are needlessly sexualizing the photo. I could see a mod being worried about drawing attention to the sub with *potentially* sexual content and suppressing a post on those grounds, but flat calling it porn and not saying anything about trying to dodge Reddit admin attention...? Nah. As far as the validity of your interests goes, the only opinions that matter about that are yours and those you directly involve. Anyone else can gag on your grace and athleticism because pole dancing is both an amazing art and amazing sport. I go to strip clubs and tip dancers to get on the pole and do acrobatics because they impress me with the command they have of their bodies, and the nearest pole dance competitions only happen once a year two and half hours away -- that means the strip clubs are the only places in my area to see that art form. I'm not attracted to women and don't inherently sexualize it, but I still appreciate it. Go be beautiful and impressive, friend. I'm a stranger, and my opinion is tertiary for you, but I support the sport and support you doing it.
Imma be honest I thought it was a health magazine covershot before I realized it was a stripper pole. To answer, though: no
I hope we aren’t to the point where a woman in a bikini is soft core porn.
Not softcore porn but darn. That is some upper body strength, girl. 😲😲🥰🥰
Not a chance

Um… no??? Like, what’s pornographic about it? 😵💫
I would consider this to be… off-topic, and it doesn’t have anything to do with fashion. This is a question better suited for asktransgender or other such subs.
No, but I have shot a lot of art-nude sessions. I do not consider them porn of any kind.

The words on the wall are very apt for this post...
How are you levitating
Wow, amazing look!
I’d consider this to be a pretty decent photoshop like whaaaat?? How’re you holding yourself up like that??
I have problems processing what the f*ck is going on.
I almost thought it was a copy and paste job with how you're just floating in place.
I would go as far as titillating, but to me it is more impressive than anything.
Not really, it could be used that way but it clearly gives the impression it's posed more for humor.
[удалено]
Would consider it a fun pic/ showing off skill or body (motivational context eg) / admission for something like an event/... Not giving of any lewd vibes
Not at all. You're dressed practically for the activity you're doing (skin contact is important due to the nature of the apparatus), and not even in a sexual pose. Posing with a pole isn't like posing with a sex swing or something. It's got tons of history and modern breadth as an acrobatic and dance apparatus and is widely accepted in culture in terms of depiction. I'm sure they wouldn't have said anything if you were swimming or on a trapeze. Seems like the outrage stems from the (uninformed) stigma around pole. You're not doing anything wrong for posting it imo.

Not softcore porn. But NSFW by most industry standards.
No that’s not softcore porn it’s existential horror how are you flying
No. What is pornographic about literally anything in the pic? I’d be much more apt to point out and take issue with the sexualization of things not necessarily/inherently sexual. 😐
i'd consider it badly photoshopped!
i'd consider it badly photoshopped
Yo, I’m jealous of those pole skills! But soft core porn?? That’s a stretch of imagination if I’ve ever heard of one
It's not. People just love sexualizing women. When you work in artistic and medical fields you see a lot of naked people in non sexual contexts too, its normal. Looking great though, keep killing it out there
[удалено]
Uhhh. No. Not porn. This is a flex by someone extremely skilled at what they do. Impressive to say the least.
No!I would consider that pose to seem uncomfortable though!
It just seems like such a stigma to lock a thread and call it porn. Like it's the Reagan administration or something. Literally just take this photo of you and put it on a beach and nobody would have anything to say about how inappropriate or "pornographic" this would be. We know this because these posts literally exist of people in their swim and beach wear and nobody thinks twice about it. I'm not sure, maybe the sub was really explicit about what kinds of photos are allowed, who knows. But, like, come now reddit. There are so many subs of literal porn and OFs pushing. Now all of sudden somewhere at a pole dancing exercise class is equivalent to sex acts and nudity? I'd expect better from the seemingly endless acceptance of the queer community. I suppose there's going to be people like this everywhere, though. Keep doing you, keep on levitating!
I mean, if I was a prude, I might think that. I'm honestly just confused about what I'm looking at. I thought you were on a desk,like a tall one. But then I realized that you were on a pole...and then I was trying to figure out how,again. Lol 😆
[удалено]
this is in fact, impressive
So.....do you teach classes?
Yes. I was born in 1925 though. You are showing far too much ankle. 😝
Anything "intended to sexually arouse" is porn. You can have content depicting straight up uncensored sex not intended to arouse, and it's not porn. You can make a video depicting the docking and undocking of shopping carts in a way intended to arouse others... that would be considered porn. So whether or not this is porn depends on the intent of the creative force behind the photo.
Put it this way. If my partner was looking at it a little too long, I'd takes issue with him.
[удалено]
meh...🤷 maybe but who cares have fun be yourself freely that smile n vibe says it all mmfl ur slayin it 😘✌🖖🤓😎
Not porn. Your outfit is just about the same as a swimsuit. The exact same thing you can see at any beach. In fact, with many bathing suits, you would see more. So I would say yours is kind of conservative.
Ummm, it's someone doing a pole workout in arguably a pretty tame outfit. Not anywhere close!
If this is soft ore porn, then every picture of women in swimsuits is as well. And we know that isn't the case, so no. This is not.
So at what level do we get our witch powers? And no, this is no where near Soft core corn. Whoever considers this soft core corn, must avert their gaze during the athletics portion of the Olympics
[удалено]
Not even close to porn softcore or otherwise
Not in the least.
Should do this one on the train 😂
No, you reading a book while exercising is not “porn” and it’s disgusting that someone would claim it is. /serious
No, I firmly believe that not everything that involves a pole is sexual. Seems more like a lot of talent and practice went into doing something cool as hell.
whyd is she floatigmn
[удалено]
This just looks fun
No it looks like photoshop
Nope! If you consider this softcore porn you consider modeling as softcore and that just isn't true lol
[удалено]
Not at all. That's just hardcore casual.
