I was chilling with a friend recently, a straight male that is just a friend, not a FWB or anything else, just a good mate.
As we were waiting for Netflix to load (in the end it didn't it stuck at 76% and would do no more, no matter what we tried!). Anyway, that isn't this story...
Whilst we were waiting he was scrolling through his Instagram, something I can't do as I was banned and my account removed for posting photos that showed a bulge in the front of my panties, no flesh just a bulge, which is I believe quite normal?
As he reached the end of his followed feed updates and heading into the 'suggested' one caught our attention, different reactions but for the same reason.
It was a picture that very, very clearly showed a woman lying down, with some fabric covering her breasts (not a lot) and that was it, naked all the way down to the very obvious clear camel toe of her pussy.
Obviously his reaction was wow, mine was more 'are they taking the piss'
We discussed, and he agreed that the standards applied to the various gender / sexuality posts on some social media, namely Facebook and Instagram, are totally unbalanced, this got worse when we looked at the rest of the pictures! A whole collection of camel toe pictures and video clips, you get even more if you search for #cameltoe - that is how difficult it would be for the moderators to check!
Anyway, later that night I set up a gmail account and created a new profile, as a straight male, and reported the photo.... outcome - not removed as we don't have time / resources to review all of the reported images. Now, I get this but do wonder how they had time to review and delete every post that I made that showed a panty bulge. I reported it again, same result... having looked today it has now been removed, but the account is still active with plenty more similar images and video clips, take a look yourself - account is Cameltoeville
Am I being overly angry and cynical, or does this yet again proof the gender / sexuality bias of Instagram?
