While it's true that mandatory identity verification will inevitably be leaked on a massive scale, the thing you need to understand when framing these arguments is that a lot of the folks in favour of such measures don't see that as a bad thing. Full de-anonymisation of the Internet is their explicit goal. Like, the actual objective here is for everyone to have a public record of everything they say and do – online or otherwise – linked to their government ID. The universal panopticon is the good ending as far as these people are concerned.

if cities are vampires then small towns are ghosts i think. cities constantly hunger for fresh blood, but the blood that sustains a small town is an old and dried stain that you can never entirely scrub out. a city will feed on you, but if you truly want to leave, it can't keep you. a small town will follow you anywhere. it lingers like a chill at every threshold. once it has you, it has no intention of ever letting you go.

if you don't know how to end a written work you should be able to just let the words fade out like an 80s song and not resolve anything for the reader

Everytime one of these "protect women and girls" orgs go viral for doing something evil I like to take a look through their "wins" and see if they've ever helped protect even one single living woman or girl.

Collective Shout has:

Gotten a hotel to cancel a legal-aged porn star's reservation

Gotten a venue to cancel a Playboy Bunny themed party - again, attended by only adults

Pressured the Breast Cancer Foundation to pull ads that they found too sexy

got ads for a sex doll company removed because they felt the dolls resembled children

Got a beer coozy that had pinups of adult women printed on them discontinued.

Got an H&M ad pulled for back to school clothes for saying "Turn Heads"

Got Tyler the Creator banned from performing in New Zealand

I'm still scrolling and I have yet to see a single instance of a real, living woman or girl being protected by any one of their actions. They have on multiple occasions punished real, adult women for the audacity to be naked in some capacity they find distasteful.

"I don't get why you're talking about atheists pushing conservative ideas, atheists are overwhelmingly progressive!"

Yeah, right now. The thing about far right ideas is that you 1. must never assume that your group is immune to them, and 2. always be on guard against them. Because if you don't, you never know when the status quo will change.

Like. Pagans are pretty damn progressive too, but we've always gotta keep an eye out for those Folkish (Nazi) types and make sure everybody knows to stay far, far away from them. That's how we make sure we stay progressive.

If you let your guard down, these kinds of people will come in and spread their ideas, and you will find that your majority progressive group isn't so progressive anymore.

video game genres are like if we talked about books and movies being "neurorunners" or "hobbitlikes" or "role-telling stories"
