arob.base.eth on Farcaster

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.

I don’t love how the Instagram crowd is creeping in but it’s part of growing as a network. Losing the cozy corner vibes isn’t ideal but it was just a matter of time. If you don’t like it just don’t engage. It kind of sucks you’re not at #1 very often anymore though cause Bert>insta-randoms any day imo.

Growth always brings weird edges with it. But I actually like that the leaderboard keeps changing. It means new people are showing up, making stuff, finding their voice. That’s good for all of us! Glad you’re here. Thanks for sticking around through the changes. 💜
