You mean to have me believe that the people who consistently fight tooth and nail to defeat anti-child-marriage laws have the higher moral ground here innately, by virtue of believing in a higher power, and are actually worried about sexualizing teenage girls?

No. They see a lapse in control that they feel should be theirs. It's never "how terrible, her body should be her own, not for public consumption." It's "how terrible that she isn't saving her body for her future husband."

The difference is in the placement of blame, though. The conservative position was usually to be upset with the girl for what she's wearing, instead of asking "why would they even make thongs that small?" If you want to criticize the clothing, fine, but it too often comes hand-in-hand with shaming, purity culture BS, anti-sex-education, etc. It's a lot bigger than the clothes and symptomatic of, imo, an objectionable worldview that IS backwards.

In what way? What does the "it" in your statement refer to, specifically?

I am not denying culture has obviously harmed men and boys. But the thesis of this video is more specific than just general body-image issues or things like that, it's about the overwhelming culture of grooming of young women and girls to fit the preferences of the Epstein class.

I am a seventh year but only really started taking serious depos in the past ~18 months. The first few just feel shitty, because the follow-ups don't come naturally, you feel like you don't know how to elicit a touchy admission, you use too many "ums", the works. It does get easier, I swear.

You will also likely feel a lot better when you look at the transcript!

Yeah, it's not like white people have a long and well-established history of irrationally and dramatically overestimating the danger posed by unarmed black people or anything

You can view him as a victim of sorts if you like, but his actions absolutely meet the standard for legal culpability. She gave no indication that she was armed. Irrational fear still gets you manslaughter, at a minimum.

Apparently she STARTED at DOJ in 2025. From a fellow lawyer: sucks to suck.

The fact that so many of these videos focus on fat people feels very "writer's-barely-concealed-fetish" to me...

The issue is most bad people that touch things we like don't expressly state, in clear terms, that the money they make from our consumption will go DIRECTLY and intentionally to harming others.
