    The other day I opened my instagram and was presented with a few frames of a big hairy vagina in my explore feed.

    I don’t find this “harmful” but it’s not what I expect the algorithm to show me when I literally open instagram to find out about local events and sudden changes in cafe open hours in my area.

    I really hate the way meta and other social media companies have injected themselves into our communities and then sent us all insane and set us against each other using algorithms.

      Did you mean vulva? The vagina is the moist canal from the uterus to the labia minora; the vulva is the sometimes rather fuzzy bun.

      I would avoid Instagram.

        I'm not sure what planet you live on but the one where I live, the general term for female genitalia is a "vagina". I've never heard someone say, "kiss my vulva".
