Culture wars = mostly bullshit distractions.

Not just distraction. Distraction with a very nefarious purpose.

See below. We don’t disagree. It’s a good move, the hype is the problem. It feels wrong. It should have been removed as it was the right thing to do. I’ve seen a lot of stuff about this recently from people who feel the need to chirp about a woman that wanted privacy.

Yeah, those woke culture warriors at the … IEEE … distracting us from … Something… by asking academic researchers to … Refrain from using a specific cropped pornographic image that the model has asked people to stop using.

Those bastards.

I’m referring to class warfare. It’s a nice gesture but not worth the media throughfare, especially as she asked for it not to be used. You can just do it and not make it a big fuss. There are better problems to worry about. Hyping it feels perverse. It should be done simply because it’s right and she wanted privacy. I’m aware this is a bit ironic, but I don’t think it should be such a wild thing to show a bit of respect to what the affected parties want. I suppose posting rhe meme isn’t helping but I can’t resist a good Cena meme.

Edit: I suppose I’m trying to say that the fact that this is a notable change at all is an indication of a problem.

I mean, the IEEE didn’t really make that big of a deal about it. An email to members informing them of an update to https://magazines.ieeeauthorcenter.ieee.org/create-your-ieee-magazine-article/article-submission-requirements/ hardly feels like hype. I think it’s about the minimal fuss you can make while still allowing people to know about the change.

Naw, they’re excellent for determining which kind of people are controlling manipulative monsters!
