I tell my kids all the time. Do not do anything you don’t want caught on camera. In this world anything can be brought up against you in your future.
Rally’s comment is generally good advice, and doesn’t place blame on anyone.
It’s in response to a girl getting punished for being recorded doing nothing wrong. Read the room and the context. It absolutely is victim blaming.
I never said that. I never made a comment about the person in the article. Just my life experience. We are all free to do whatever want. I would never yuck somebody else’s yum. It’s just sad in this age almost everything you do can be brought up against you in the future. I just want my kids to be aware of this and that is all.
2003: don’t do anything stupid, maybe there’s some camera that can record it.
2023: record me with the camera, I’m going to do something stupid
Wow, I went to sleep, and my comment got bombed to hell.
Let me clarify to anyone reading these comments. I don’t agree at all with what happened to this girl. It’s unfair and wrong on so many levels. The principle comments are gross and uncalled for.
All I did was put advise out there that I give to my children to help navigate that world as we see it.
You expect us to believe your comment has nothing to do with the article, and just by coincidence, you happened to post “I tell my kids not to do anything they wouldn’t want being filmed” in response to an article about someone facing consequences for somebody else doing something that was filmed, and we are all the bad guys for unfairly assuming tha your comment had anything at all to do with the article it was posted in response to?
They are related of course. That is the point of a discussion post. But the jump to victim shaming is improper. I am not saying anyone is a bad guy here, never have or implied that. Just stating my point and people are assuming things about my post. I’ll take it as a learning lesson to be clearer in the future.
Sometimes yes. Look at how the comments on this got taken and twisted.
Fact is this girl was doing nothing wrong but due to others beliefs she has lost something she has worked hard for.
Fact is this girl was doing nothing wrong
In your own words, according to you, she did do something wrong: she did she wouldn’t want being filmed. (Note: she wasn’t actually the one twerking.)
Look at how the comments on this got taken and twisted.
Nobody twisted your comments. We just read what you wrote and considered the context in which you wrote it. (That last detail is something you seem to have not done.)
My parents loved reminding me of this. Now I have debilitating social anxiety.
But also, like, dancing with your friends shouldn’t ruin your future because your school system imposes their religious values as a moral “code”.
hard agree some poor kid getting molested by a priest praying to cold dead silence… either gods sending kidfuckers to earth or he’s just standing by and watching it happen. I feel like churning down a burch
Where do private schools come in to this?
It was a PUBLIC high school that pulled her scholarship. Learn to read you fuckin troglodyte.
A PUBLIC school system. Parents should sue the absolute fuck out of the school for using religion to justify a punishment.
Assumed it was a christian school based on her comment. A public school pulling this is absolutely unacceptable.
I don’t give a shit if someone catches me dancing on camera. There’s nothing wrong with it, who cares?
God. God cares. He loves everyone and is omnipotent, but also really judgy and bitchy because reasons. And he’s watching you so closely that you can reach out and touch his bloodshot ethereal eyeball. Well, if it wasn’t ethereal, anyway. So don’t ever let that aspirin fall from between your knees. He’ll know if it does. And send plague of Karens to shame you. But only because he loves you and demands obedience.
Alright that’s it I’m learning spanish. Seriously how do I move ? I’ve had it in my head to start putting the pieces in place to move to Spain or Portugal. But I’m an inexperienced 26 year old NEET transfem. I’m not naive, though. I know I’ve gotta twerk like nobody’s ever twerked before if I wanna make my dreams come true.
Edit: I didn’t realise this was a weird American Christian thing. Should have just steered clear and not asked questions. ✌
We’ll damn if it’s in the RULES then it must be fine. Remember when the rules said that owning human slaves was ok? Good ol days right?
Fuck off asshole
If you have a problem with the rules, you know what you can do, right?
Change them.
Fuck off asshole
Don’t make an enemy of an ally.
Nice edit on your original comment. At least you have the grace to be embarrassed of yourself.
The paradox of tolerance suggests we draw a line and decide some things are unacceptable to tolerate or the tolerant will be overwhelmed by the intolerant. I’m sure Poppers arguments are not without flaws but absolute free speech is a pipe dream.
There are limits to free speech in US laws already, some common examples are slander, libel, and threats. There’s also “imminent lawless action” where words inciting violence can be restricted.
Maybe I’m drawing a false correlation between the two ideas but in general I don’t think it’s so black and white as you might suggest.
Amoral isn’t a virtue worth upholding. We should encourage good things and discourage bad things.
I’m going to make an ai video of you calling me a n***** and send it to your bosses.
See how this works? How do we even know it was her twerking?
You are correct, there is absolutely no difference between twerking and saying 6 million wasn’t enough, these are completely equivalent acts.
I would say it highly depends on how it reflects on the institution. Twerking has nothing to do with any possible education she might have received. Saying that black people are unintelligent but good dancers shows the attempts to educate the student has failed them, which makes the school look bad if they get the scholarship.
Similarly, I’m fine with people who got fired for participating in January 6th. Any company that kept them on could face a major boycott and those people don’t deserve their jobs because they’re insurrectionists.
But this particular girl? Totally deserves the scholarship. Twerking is not a reflection of how she was educated.
@JasSmith @FlyingSquid it was a public school. And they cited religious beliefs as for why they were so offended. That’s a clear violation of church and state and while it’s certainly not new or unique it’s not defensible or right.
