So gross. It's really disappointing that a school of social work would be involved in such a terrible program.

From my quick Googling of Project ROSE, it seems like an awful program. Arresting sex workers and making them criminals is not "helping" them, and a school of social work should know this.

I think it isn't, actually. It's legal to take pictures of nonconsenting people in public spaces, it's just incredibly dickish. :\

Christ, really? *Really*? Come on.

This is complete bullshit. She didn't even do anything! Ugh. Makes me so mad.

I just said that I wasn't simply talking legalities. There is more to identity than what the government tells you. I know that a lot of white people just love to claim that they have a Cherokee princess great-great-grandma, but that isn't what I'm talking about.

Look, do not call me babe. Do not call me miss. Stop being sexist and condescending, it's gross.

I wouldn't ask if I knew.

Hm? What are you getting at?

If some asshole photographer aggressively got up in my face, clicking away, trying to get a reaction for his art, I would feel uncomfortable and unsafe and mildly afraid. Piss Christ makes me think "ew" and move on. Piss Christ doesn't make me feel unsafe. It's irrelevant.

First of all, hugs. I can't claim to know what this feels like, but I am sending my warmth your way.

I didn't even mention outlawing it. Just because it's legal doesn't make it okay, which was kind of the whole point of this post. Piss Christ is irrelevant.

That doesn't make what he's doing okay in any way.

Being a well-known artist working for Magnum isn't an excuse to purposely make people uncomfortable and take their picture when you can clearly see that they do not consent. He is a fucking creep.

Didn't you get the memo? We can't enjoy anything anymore, because nothing is the norm for everyone.

Yeah, love between children and parents is totally not something to be celebrated at all. Look, I don't even like babies. It's just a cutesy video. Come on.

She is a child who was just sold into sexual slavery. The last thing she needs is to be punished.

She was going to be raped. You are defending a rapist and pedophile.
