It was a mix of hilarious and sad to read the transcript of that school meeting, like you read a book about holocaust and your concern is about a open nipple, or come up to say like "the guy used to work for playboy and it's enough to make his works banned"

I don't really like to call people idiots, usually i can justify with myself that people might be having a bad day, but if i have to describe what an idiot is to an extraterrestrial form of life i would let them read that transcript




What if the author said something slightly problematic on Twitter 14 years ago, would that be a good justification for banning their book?

Rednecks stopped being the biggest laughing stock in this country years ago.


Yeah, I mean if we want to make fun of wokes count me in. But I think the situation is different, saying something racist? sexist? As a grown adult on social requires a certain mindset and / or cultural background, that might be considered harder to change

Working for Playboy, is a bit different, there is not substantial issue working for playboy, it's not like being racist or sexist, unless you got a religious brain damage one of those who make you see invisible people in the sky
