But the commenter wrote what he/she thought the photo meant in the past. Describing thoughts during a time that was post-Life magazine and pre-Google. A lot of people first experienced the photo in that context (i.e. posters made of the photo). It’s okay to describe what you thought of the photo during that time and…

She was interviewed and told the public what she thought of the photo and the act. That’s how we all know she didn’t like this.
Holy hell! For your information, some of the people who existed before Google are still living.
Did you work at my last company?
That’s horrible. I hate that “I don’t want to get involved” shit when it actually translates to “I’m chicken so I plan to support the power structure or whatever side keeps me under the radar.”
The explanation is that Sollecito’s DNA was on the bedroom doorknob from when he tried to open the door. Then the police, wearing plastic gloves, touched the doorknob and then the bra clasp, which transferred Sollecito’s DNA from one to the other. It was trace amounts, which supports this explanation.

It’s true that this has a lot of meaning and history in the US, and it’s happened over and over — more times than we’ll ever know. But it’s irrelevant to this particular case.
A few years ago I read an article in, um, maybe the Atlantic? Can’t remember, but it was about false confessions. Before reading it, I totally didn’t understand how people could say things during police questioning that weren’t true. After reading it, wow, I get it.
Yes, I get it. Facts are not what matters to you.
This woman sounds insufferable. Diet advice, gratuitous high heels, swimsuit competition apologist, and most of all this:
If the discussion is about the actual definitions of the words “aggressive” and “assertive,” then it makes sense to look up the actual definitions.
Wait, so now they’re thought policing, too?

If they made a movie — better yet, a TV series — based on The Parable of the Sower, I would buy all the popcorn.
Here’s how old and pervasive this trope is:
