Again, women can (and often do!) do things without concern for how people around them react. For example, a woman may chose to release her own naked photos following a hack. Sure, releasing new photos doesn’t take down the old ones and there will be people who don’t think about the images beyond “it’s a naked woman”.…

Is your point that women are children who can’t be trusted to determine “good” times to be naked? Your post comes across as rather infantilizing.

I’m not sure what kool-aid you’re referring to.

Oh definitely. Sails seemed to be talking about naked protests in general so I was speaking generally. This specific “art” squicks me the hell out.

I’m not really clear on how the message is helped by the women being naked.

I am not very good at art criticism but I think there are two aspects to a naked protest. Obviously some part of a naked protest is the attention—that is, you may draw more attention naked than clothed which can help to draw more attention to your protest. The other aspect is that there is some power in trying to take…

That’s my point: these laws are inconsistent.

Right and the drinking age used to be 18. Teens don’t have good judgement but we’ve still decided that 18 is when you are considered an adult. I just think it should be an all-or-nothing deal. Either a person is adult enough to drink, smoke, join up, vote, etc or they are not.

If you commit a crime against someone, and it is proven that you committed that crime because the person was of a protected class (so because they’re a cop, in this case) then your penalty gets increased: you get the penalty for your crime plus an additional penalty because of the hate. Because you have to prove that…

In understand the desire to reduce smoking, especially among younger people, but I really dislike the sort of staggered adulthood this produces. If the age of majority is 18, that should include the legal ability to make unhealthy decisions.

We just raised the legal age to buy tobacco and nicotine products to 21.

I think it’s less that art is everything and more that anything can be art. More to the point, if this is art then it’s bad art and whether or not it is art it is a shitty thing to do.

There is something deeply satisfying about well-done cosplay.

They literally address that in the movie:

The buttons may still be there but be invisible for some reason. I’ve had that happen to me. You may be able to move the cursor to the left of the image icon and still use the other buttons.

It’s some therapeutic hyperbole in an internet comment on an article about an obviously bad thing. It’s no more intellectually dishonest than someone decrying some misfortune by asking “why does this always happen to me?”

You’re right; everything is terrible.

The fact that there are worse places does not improve anything here.

I have nothing to add to the content of your post but I can tell you how to make fancy quote boxes.

So universities should ignore their students? That’s a recipe for problems.
