> People are allowed to want to divorce without it being referred to as "where he sticks his weiner".

No they're not. Getting a divorce doesn't give you the right to control how other people talk about your divorce.

People care about revenge porn because it hurts vulnerable people (i.e. the vast majority of us.) People don't give a shit about revenge porn about people who aren't vulnerable in any way.

I'm not a fan of Bezos or his companies but these are objectively shitty takes.

Obviously the discussion here is in terms of civility and respecting people's privacy, not 'control'.

> … "civility and respecting people's privacy" …

God how I wish we still lived in that world…
