Hey, you might be a nerd, but most of us are buff bouncers.

the difference is that poetv/poenews is a nerd cesspool

reddit is the fucking nerd abyss

and that abyss always stares back.

we're nerds?

This should totally be the starting point for a bloody Reddit/ PoE rivalry! We haven't feuded with anyone since those nerds on SA started charging messageboard fees.

Stupid Something Awful nerds.

"You know, I sometimes browse reddit, but haven't really looked at poe-news forums. With all the witty and insightful comments posted here, I'm sure it'll be a higher standard! Let's check out the first page of thread titles in off-topic:

- Stupid people really need to stop pissing me off!!!!!!!!!!

- Hairlip, penis enlargement, dolphin sanctuary
- it has been almost two days since someone mentioned ygurts69

...Ah yes. This shall keep me far away from the nerds lacking in social skills.

You should have seen what it was like before the purge. It was even worse.

She's saying this on CNN, part of the under 18 celebrity pushing/manufacturing machine....some of those people that come out of that machine are girls under the age around 18 who make entire careers out of posing in sexual imagery.

"Aren't we tired of people hiding behind the first amendment"

Ugh.

I admire her ability to talk about this subject and come off as the biggest asshole out of everyone involved.

Fair question, but at the same time, it should be pointed out that it's not a journalist's job to advance solutions. Their job is to observe & report, which is what he was doing.

It's a non-story. If youth are dressing provocatively one needn't go a web site anymore than out in public to see clothed youth. Kids act like sexual beings because 1) they are (just in a less sophisticated manner than adults) and 2) they pantomime the adult culture they are trying to be a part of.

I'm not sure what my point is. < / end verbal barf >

Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...

Simon666 doesn't see what all the fuss is about.

*van explodes*

To be clear: My point is you can't control how people will interpret certain images (whether or not they will fetishize them or not). If the images on reddit are of clothed teens , presumably dressed the same way that teens do in public, it's a moot point. Don't get me wrong, I disagree with the sexualization of children, it's disgusting. The issue is how kids dress in general, not whether non-nude bodies are being looked at.

We can't control gross people but we can and will call them gross Simon, I hope that's okay.

Simon666, your point was supposed to be, kids dressing like sluts is a result of adults dressing like sluts - so if we don't like it, we need to change the examples we give them, especially on TV and in media.
I'm sad nobody else thought it was, not even you.
