Wait, are you saying the revenge porn site is an issue of copyright? Because AFAIK, pornography distributors are required to keep records of the people in their photographs and videos, specifically so they can prove they are over 18.

You're right. Several of the tweets included that tag. However, it doesn't seem to me that those tweets were from people who were thinking these shirts are targeting women. If you take a look at the hashtag on Twitter[0], many of them have

Did you read those recent tweets? None of them mention gender. You're looking for a bias that just isn't there. Our society most definitely has a problem with rape and sexual assault— specifically towards women— but I don't see any Twitter

I'm 23 and laughed when the OP talked about "remembering junior high" and how "people never did this shit back then, because they couldn't." Yeah, you probably couldn't find a middle schooler with a smart phone back in 2005 (the year the OP

Er, no. I'm not saying those images exist solely to entice someone into clicking them. That would be advertising. Those images fulfill a purpose to the reader: They deepen the review.
