I fully agree with this. The fact that there's a push and this expectation to constantly take new and better pictures of yourself—or to be in pictures has most definitely affected my own self-image.

Ah, see I do think there are two things going on 1) the perception that these things are normal because of the "false economy" thing and 2) simultaneously, the actual normalization of these preferences, because most young men watch porn, and studies have shown that there is sort of desensitization that occurs that…
I do too. I wonder if that will be enough and will work, or if it will cause pedophiles to crave and seek out the real thing. Unlike with cartoon stuff, there's never going to be a gigantic monster with like 1000 penises or something, but there *are* children. Ugh.
Ah, that is an interesting point! And also, sort of the point, I think, I was trying to make with fetishes and things involving choking, hitting, slapping, etc. These things should *not* be normalized, but they start to seem normal because there is so.much.content. and that content usually leads to even more extreme…
Like, we're talking about violence here. Sexual violence used on people who don't know better, or are not capable of negotiating due to inexperience, age, and the perception that something is normal - e.g., things like slapping and choking and forcing a woman to choke on your dick until tears are coming out of her…
Definitely not. I'd say that modern porn leads to the normalization of what should be hard fetishes though, some of which are problematic.
Explicit content of younger victims is becoming increasingly available and graphic. Online child pornography communities frequently trade content for free and reinforce behavior. Offenders often consider their participation a "victimless crime."
Yeah, I'm aware of that, and that's a discussion that we can and should have.
Didn't feel the burn. Two busy looking at the sexy guy on the right.
she was a pretty white girl
I like her, but I laughed my ass off at this comment.
Except she did that in a song and it was a play on words from a line in Kendrick Lamar's song called “Look Out for Detox.” That doesn't mean there's not a debate to be had about whether it was tasteless and problematic, but the fact that you presented this information disingenuously and in the most inflammatory way…
Iggy's tweets are so hilariously tepid to anyone who's lived more than 5 minutes outside the space of a social justice warrior blog. I just spent time googling "Iggy Azalea racist" and "Iggy Azalea homophobe", and seriously, I heard the Hispanic kids in my poor-ass neighborhood said worse shit every day.
Thanks for the response! so, because I am new to the ways of the world, are bouncers/bar/business employees legally responsible for assisting a drunk person? I know you're not allowed to serve drinks to someone who's drunk, but do they have a legal obligation for that patron's safety (ambulance, getting home, etc?)
Yeah, totally fair. I just get really rant-y sometimes because a lot of the no-kill folk I've dealt with have been hypocritical and intolerably smug while shuffling off the "refuse" to us. As for taking as many animals as you can - all shelters do that in theory. But kill shelters have to do it even more, since we…
Yes! This is it too. Most of these people aren't bad people (though some of them are), they just...don't get it. Sigh. It's such an uphill battle.
Heh. Every dog is different, but the important thing is that you tried! And of course, I get that people are human and make mistakes, feel exhausted some days and just can't take their doggie for a walk and play, etc. That's totally OK. I'm more addressing the fat that their are many people who just can't be bothered…
I volunteer at an animal shelter, and while some groups can be extreme, turning down people for a (certain) pet is often based on the cold hard stats of who is likely to dump their animal. Animal shelters often turn down people for puppies because, as another commenter pointed out, people return them like they'd…
I also think dog breeding—as does pretty much everyone who works or volunteers at a shelter and sees the damage that free-for-all dog/animal breeding does up close—should be illegal unless you have a license, and it can given based on need (professional breeder, breeding dogs for farm work, etc), bu tit'll never…
It should be against the law to not spay or neuter your dog. However, this woman should get her dog back. The other family is in the wrong if they don't return it.
