WTF is even happening??

Yes, nothing says Christmas cheer like taking a history lesson on booze jokes and the sexual euphemisms of a puritanical society in order to understand that a song wasn’t a date rape anthem when it was first written.

gotta update it for the twitter outrage mob:

They’re not joking about roofies. It’s a way to “save face” by blaming the alcohol. The joke is the fact that back then bars and parties would cheat and not even put much booze in the drink to begin with and making a comment like that is just hanging a lantern on the fact that nobody’s actually getting very drunk. In…

Wow, is it this time of year already? OK, I’ll go:

So I guess we’ve forgotten that, looking at this song in historical context (i.e. actually looking at what phrases meant then instead if assigning our meaning to them), it’s not at all rapey? Oh well.

After that, will be cleaning up rap songs? Like Ain’t No Fun (If the Homies Can’t Have None)?

The “correct” response was a slap on the wrist saying, “not the time or the place for protest” and moving on instead of the draconian banning, elimination of the two broadcasters, and further banning of subsequent teams that decided to stand with Blitzchung and Hong Kong.

This wouldn’t be half as controversial if Blizzard hadn’t unequivocally bowed to the Communist party in its Chinese-language announcement. Translated:

As much as I’m hoping people put their feet to the fire somehow, I will point out something important about this: this is exactly how they did Q&A last year to my understanding and this isn’t specifically in response to potential HK backlash. They’re probably very glad they’ve been doing it this way, however, now more…

Twitch isn’t a porn site though. I get that it’s 2019 and kids who want to see porn are gonna find it but if twitch wants to crack down on it on their site I don’t have any issue with it.

People finding nude bodies sexual != nude bodies are inherently sexual.

It’s not a dodge in the least. That is the core of his argument “all bodies are inherently sexual”, that includes children.

Bodies are not sexual, they are contextual based on what they are in the moment of immediate function and intention.

There is a BIG (or, in your case, small) difference between painting your naked penis and a woman wearing applications that cover her breasts in the same way that a bikini would cover her chest, sans strings.

Is he wearing a speedo and has painted the speedo? If yes then he’s good. If not, then what you are actually comparing would be him painting his dong and a woman painting her labia, not a woman painting her shoulders and chest.

On the one hand, I have a bit of difficulty seeing how an attractive woman painting her naked body to resemble sexy videogame characters isn’t sexual (not that ‘sexual’ means it isn’t art, or that it’s not ok) - perhaps I’ve been exposed to too many SI Swimsuit bodypainting/Playboy bodypaint lingerie party/Black Tape…

That’s a bit of a false equivalency. She’s not painting genitalia, she’s painting her body, with her nipples and genitalia covered.

Yeah, it’s not like Americans and Chinese tourists have earned a dismal reputation through their own actions for decades or anything.

An example of how to do an amazing Pyke without race facing:
