  • A friend in high school made nude drawings of another mutual friend. It was weird he showed me but he was generally an artsy guy and I knew he was REALLY into this girl and it was kind of in the context of showing he his art work. I reconnected with the girl years later and talked about this and while she said it was weird she didn’t really think much of it. Rather, the creepy part to her was that he showed people.

    I don’t think we can stop horny teens from making horny content about their classmates, heck, I know multiple girls who wrote erotic stories featuring classmates. The sharing (and realism) is what turns the creepy but kind of understandable teenage behavior into something we need to deal with





  • It’s so crazy to me that they throw this word around and they haven’t come up with a shared definition. I know the article cites that lady who stumbled with the definition last year saying “it’s hard to explain in a 15-second sound bite” but after all this time, you’d think they’d have figured out some kind of ELI5 explanation.

    I also don’t accept that same person’s line of “It is sort of the understanding that we need to totally reimagine and redo society in order to create hierarchies of oppression” because I’d argue what so called “woke” media tries to do is be aware of inequalities that already exist, not create them. But I suppose if they said it that way they’d have to recognize that current systemic inequality is a real thing.

    Lots of reasons to hate on the anti-woke movement but at this point, this in particular really bothers me for some reason.
