The internet was just colonised by bland NPCs and everyone interesting is now on the dark web. The reason why you don't see them here today is the same reason why you didn't see them in the NYT in 2003, you can't make money off ads when you're out of the Overton window.



It's hard to express how much I disagree with that position, given the context.

Contrarianism isn't interesting purely for its own sake, especially in relation to child abuse. And the internet is full of voices who are knee-jerk contrarian for the pure sake of it. Most of what they have to say is meaningless noise.


That I was kids to stop being out on the sex offered registry for playing doctor isn't being contrarian, it's common sense.

The only people who think that we should keep busting teens by the truckload for sexting are closeted pedophiles.


Very nice straw man there.
