I happen to differ with Antonio's views as well, but there's a fine line between discussion, sometime fierce but nonetheless a discussion, and a little mob mentality.

At risk of sounding awfully moderate heroish, I wish there could be a larger middle ground between extreme social libertine individualism and the holier than thou moralism telling us we should feel ashamed and immoral for looking at porn and wanking; or hell, for just finding a person of the opposite (or same, if that's your thing) sex attractive and talking about that. I don't feel ashamed, patriarchal, objectifying or whatever when I think that J-Law is an extremely attractive person and I don't appreciate holier than thou moralism which tells me that I should.

That's not moderate heroish at all. That's simply common sense.

I wish the forum could find a balance between being teenage internet social justice warriors and bro-tastic fratboys but I'm not optimistic.

Your lack of optimism is fully justified.

For the record Antonio, the sentiment expressed in that post quoted in the OP is pretty reminiscent of the bill being passed in Uganda along with the anti-gay bill that would effectively ban miniskirts, or the people who threw a fit over Beyonce's Super Bowl performance or Miley Cyrus' MTV VMAs performance, aka extreme socons.

What the fyck is this post about?
