Gauging the Farcaster audience... are women choosing to objectify themselves, or are they being objectified, and some people can’t handle when hot women are good at things? Most (if not all) of the women you’re all vaguely alluding to aren’t posting thirst traps. They’re not being provocative. They’re smart. Funny. Consistent. Creative. And they're also hot, and that triggers your internalized (kind of) misogyny. Is there pretty privilege at play? Of course. I know all about pretty privilege, I mean look at me. But if you’re going to claim the leaderboard is full of people who got there by objectifying themselves, name names. Yes, there are gooners and simps here. Always will be. That’s not why there are women on the leaderboard. Some of y’all aren’t upset about the content. You’re upset that you like it, and you haven’t figured out how to metabolize that without blaming women. That’s not critical thinking. It’s just misogyny. And it’s tired. Do better. Look within. Log off. Touch some grass. Maybe pet a dog while you’re out there. We’re great at perspective.

Yeah, well, some people need to find external reasons to explain their lack of success. They don't want to accept that, no matter what the content is, getting on that leaderboard is hard work. Especially if it's not by gaming the system. Although that, too, takes some effort. It's easier to blame external factors or The Other, because that means you don't have to work or change.
