If you haven't been familiar with the antiwork saga: The mod in question had an obscure post leaked where they confess to rape.

Now, I don't have any rape confessions. But this whole drama is fairly niche (no normal person on the street knows wtf this is about) and someone still had dirt on them.

When I was young and stupid, I may have uploaded some nudes of myself because I liked people calling me pretty. I know that some real-life people also may still have digital copies of them somewhere. Every time someone is ridiculed or cancelled for something that is leaked, it freaks me out because if I ever gained attention for whatever reason, I too have things I'm totally embarrassed about.

    Lean into it and embrace shamelessness. Make your hypothetical interlocutors feel like the repressed prudes they are

      This. I put a dickpic up online on like /r/thotsfortrotsky or something after a megathread got really horny on /r/cth. I know as a fact people I know irl know that account and have most likely seen it but who cares because A) it's a great photo and B) lol you're the one who went looking for a picture of my cock not the other way around

      This is a good response on a personal level but I can imagine a lot of employers being really weird about this if they found this out about one of their employees.
