Everyone. Damn near everyone has a phone at this point, Facebook even handed them out to keep the user numbers growing at one point
People who live in dirt floor huts walk to churches or other gathering places to charge them. The cheapest smart phones are essentially worthless, so there’s no point stealing or selling them.
And cell service isn’t all that expensive to run, so it’s priced to what people will pay
Oh, I was talking about the tech-bros. They’re the ones who shouldn’t have access to sci-fi, or at least not the cautionary tales
Ok, I’ve had it.
Every county seems to be actively trying to create their own distopia this year
From now on, no sci-fi until you can pass a reading comprehension test.
I’m not straw manning you, I’m not saying you equate these things together. I’m pointing out that we live in a post rule-of-law society.
If you call sex crime over this, it will cheapen the concept of sex crimes. It doesn’t matter if it’s technically true or not, we’re living in very dangerous times
The truth doesn’t matter anymore, crisp clear messaging does. You’re more likely to get dildos banned than the players protected at this point.
The fact that they’re dildos is extra disrespectful, but it’s not ok to throw anything in a stadium that could hurt someone
That has to be the message - they hurt a child, this is clearly way out of hand
You can also go after the league for not properly addressing an environment of sexual harassment… But that’s a separate issue. The WNBA has been extremely exploitative, you can’t fix that by going after the viewers
Sure, against the players you can call it sexual harassment. It’s sexist harassment at least. I’m not saying it isn’t vile. But that’s not the crime being prosecuted
Do you really want to lump throwing dildos in public along with raping children?
We’re in the Epstein files era. We need a nice, clear, black and white when it comes to sex crimes, especially against children.
That’s definitely the wrong angle. This isn’t a sex crime, the existence of dildos doesn’t harm children, it just makes adults panic when they have to explain them an age appropriate way. You just have to tell them some people think they’re funny, but a lot of people think it’s rude. It’s that easy
This guy threw a heavy object into a crowd that included children, and hit a child. That’s child endangerment, battery, and probably a half dozen other charges. Someone could’ve died
This is a violent crime, not a sex crime. These are both serious things, but they must not be confused
Sure thing, and for the record I’m a primary source. I’ve seen this directly, going back more than a decade
