See Them Big Apples [tmz came up with this one] A company placed portal-shaped "sculptures" in the cities of Dublin and New York, allowing residents to essentially have a public, non-stop Zoom meeting with each other.

        Well, the 9/11 wasn’t about the human body. Rubbing ass against the screen is outright unsanitary.

          Definitely tasteless. But hardly the worst thing I’ve seen someone post in an online space.

          I might argue the root of the problem is anonymity.

        Everyone knows that if children are exposed to breasts between ages 3 and 17 they will go blind.

      i mean, the problem isn’t the portal in those cases, and i think the portal is a very cool idea – imo, the fact that these people get in the news for it is probably why they’re doing it, it’s just one way to get people’s attention by doing outrageous stuff around a new attraction

      it’s nothing new, and eventually dies off, and there are probably also many events of people being nice to each other that go unreported

      edit: also, yeah, showing body parts generally shouldn’t be considered that harshly imo - of you’re forcing people to look at them, they’re probably not pretty, but I wouldn’t call those “vulgaire” either
