You know what thing (of many) I use as a sign that an argument is bullshit?  The unironic use of the term "virtue signaling."

Tol, that was the article I linked just before your comment.
Apologies, jumping the gun there.

You're just jealous of him, let's be honest.

you'd think that if you care about STDs you can just ask your partner to get tested but no, I'm sure race is a much better predictor

Sure, there's wanking condoms.  Makes cleanup a hell of a lot easier.

Seems like it would be a lot harder to get some decent friction going, though.

Not if they're lubricated.  Also, friction, on your dick?  You're doing it wrong.

Ah yes, few things in this world are as terrible as soft core porn.

The writer does have a point in that Hefner held and promoted a very unhealthy image of women and treated the playboy bunnies like shit. She ignorantly condemns all porn - specially kinkier one - but it doesn't mean she hasn't got a point otherwise. Porn industry has its problems and the example Hefner gave of treating the women who were looking to work in the industry (and women in general) did not help at all.

Remember that Hefner published Playboy at a time when "I Love Lucy" couldn't say "pregnant" or show Desi and Lucy sleeping in the same bed.
Quote from: Jordan Duram
It doesn't concern you, Sister, that kind of absolutist view of the universe? Right and wrong determined solely by a single all-knowing, all powerful being whose judgment cannot be questioned and in whose name the most horrendous acts can be sanctioned without appeal?

Quote from: Supreme Court of Canada
Being required by someone else’s religious beliefs to behave contrary to one’s sexual identity is degrading and disrespectful.

Which makes him a mixed bag. When someone like him dies there is nothing wrong in pointing out in the middle of all the glorification that they had their dark sides, too, and ignoring them is unfair for the people that he harmed.

On the other hand, in most civilized Western societies, disparaging the recently dead is seen as a pretty huge breach of etiquette. And given that he died, uh... yesterday, I'd say that's pretty recent.
