Basically, NY Magazine just put out an article essentially defending a 17-year old boy that leaked his girlfriend's nudes and blames the victim and her friends for making a list of boys to avoid at their high school.

Please go dunk on this.

    gonna copy my response to the last post about this (which was super sympathetic to the sex post and has been removed)

    i don’t know what happened there. i don’t fully buy this version of events, given the clear bias on display in the article, and even if it’s true there’s nothing there that’s worse than things that happened when i was in high school. things like this have been happening for a long time.

    in this article we know for sure that: a) the guy did what he was accused of, and b) what he was accused of was a legitimately awful thing. i don’t know if diego deserved everything that happened here, and it seems like some of the other people mentioned definitely didn’t deserve what they got, but worse has been going on for a long time. and i haven’t seen articles like this printed about every instance of a 16 year old needing to move out of the state because they had a bad break up and their ex posted revenge porn

      I went back and read the deleted post and it's comments. I see what you mean. In all honesty, I didn't read the article at all, just the excerpts on Twitter.

      This does seem a little like bait and I have no idea who thought publishing this was a good idea. I'm just upset because this hits close to home with something that happened to my partner recently. I'm just thankful that the people we know dumped the sex pest in question.

      To paraphrase another comment, in the absence of justice, there will be mob rule.

        yeah. i read the article, and it does mention some people who it sounds like got fucked over. but that's hardly cancel culture. and most of it is dedicated to diego, who it sounds like got what he deserved.

        i feel pretty confident that i'm right, but i don't know what happened there. i don't know any of these people, and so i'm trying to not make any absolute statements.
