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.

can we build a culture here that celebrates thirst in all its many forms? still processing what that might look like, but I want us to own when we give thirst, unabashedly... https://farcaster.xyz/eirrann.eth/0xf837b598

Yes, we can build it, but it's going to take a lot of work to get there!

I agree, I'm a big fan of embracing consensual fun plus, there are so many definitions of thirst that I love totally not okay with objectification of things that aren't meant to be thirst traps mebbe by getting folks comfortable with openly giving thirst in the /thirst channel folks who don't want to see that on the timeline can just mute the channel and not see it lol
