I wish people realized that the people in their 20s currently speaking out against hypersexual internet culture aren’t doing it because we’re killjoys but because we were the first generation of people who grew up fully online and we can see the damage its done to us. If you can’t tell the difference between us and your puritanical conservative uncle then that’s on you!

and so much of that damage was done not by even partaking directly in that culture but by being desensitized to it through exposure and subsequently losing our concept of healthy expectations and boundaries, and being groomed by people we thought were our friends. we have normalized receiving unwanted sexual advances and comments/opinions and you get called a prude for telling someone not to be inappropriate with you.
