Who gives a shit if he's wearing a speedo all the time? Who gives a shit if someone makes a private joke about dongles at a conference??

> I personally don't see how having social standards on how to interact socially and sexually is a bad thing.

Did you really have a problem with this line from the post you replied to? Because if not, you can see what sort of issue someone might have here.




Don't have a problem with that phrase in a vacuum but in context of this discussion I find it highly problematic. Who decides the standard? Which standards actually matter?

I guess I see information (esp with regards to video tutorials/demos) as agnostic. If you're reading a tutorial online, there's no telling whether the person who wrote it was completely naked while doing so. Does the information change simply because you thought they should at least throw a robe on before trying to share info? As long as she's sharing good info, I don't see why it matters what she's wearing. And no, I cannot see what issue other people have other than a difference in taste (which, again, has no bearing whatsoever on whether what she's sharing is factual and helpful or not...).
