“First off, the motivations don’t matter”

This comment is better and more comprehensive than io9’s coverage of this story so far.

Remember how racist Shogun World was before the episode ever aired?

Third, the “we should not be allowing people” bit sounds like some real Orwellian shit, and I’ve had enough of that over the last few days.

“pictures of “scantily clad female students” doing field research.”

It’s not about “teehee boobs!” or “How dare he!” it’s about not wanting someone else to decide my morality for me sight unseen.
