    It was a small struggle session, not nearly the big-ole site wide affair the legends speak of, but a bunch of people basically came in and admitted to being terrified of their own sexuality and not understanding where the meme began and ended. Turned into, hopefully, a helpful discussion that taught people how to better feel out boundaries, how to acknowledge and be proud of their sexuality but also respectful of other people's space and experience too.

    There absolutely were posts at the time taking anti-horny, in all aspects of life, more seriously than I thought was healthy. Since then the irony levels seem like they got turned up to 11 and the fact that people want to FUCK is not treated as some personal moral failing. That may not have been the predominant angle, but there was a vocal minority at the time that seems to have quieted down.

    Or maybe I'm misremembering the whole thing. This was like 5 months ago my dude, and in a thread that only had like 40 up votes. I'm not a historian over here.
