Cosmic Motors is one of those coffee table books that seems kinda cool, you pick up on a whim, then unwittingly read…
There's an element of sexism to all the derision for Bronies. Not only are they fans of a kid's show, they're fans of a kid's show meant for girls. Fans of, I dunno, Adventure Time or ThunderCats don't get nearly as much scorn. Can't help but think it's because they're lowering themselves to like something feminine.
I don't think so at all. The physical burden of the mattress is strenuous, sure. But think of how walking in with a mattress will disrupt every class she goes to.

Remember that Boob Song that Seth MacFarlane sang at the Oscars that everyone thought was just so funny and Jennifer Lawrence gave a victory fist pump that nobody saw her boobs yet? Yeah, this is way we didn't think that shit was funny.
I'm also astounded by the "if you don't want everyone to see you nude, don't take nude photos" brigade. Because "if you don't want your belongings stolen, don't have belongings" makes so much sense.
My brain literally cannot comprehend the people defending "free speech" when it encompasses people who violently (and sexually) threaten people like Anita Sarkeesian, or repost creep shots like Violentacrez.
