Culture wars = mostly bullshit distractions.

Yeah, those woke culture warriors at the ... IEEE ... distracting us from ... Something... by asking academic researchers to ... Refrain from using a specific cropped pornographic image that the model has asked people to stop using.

Those bastards.

I'm referring to class warfare. It's a nice gesture but not worth the media throughfare, especially as she asked for it not to be used. You can just do it and not make it a big fuss. There are better problems to worry about. Hyping it feels perverse. It should be done simply because it's right and she wanted privacy. I'm aware this is a bit ironic, but I don't think it should be such a wild thing to show a bit of respect to what the affected parties want. I suppose posting rhe meme isn't helping but I can't resist a good Cena meme.

Edit: I suppose I'm trying to say that the fact that this is a notable change at all is an indication of a problem.

I mean, the IEEE didn't really make that big of a deal about it. An email to members informing them of an update to https://magazines.ieeeauthorcenter.ieee.org/create-your-ieee-magazine-article/article-submission-requirements/ hardly feels like hype. I think it's about the minimal fuss you can make while still allowing people to know about the change.

Not just distraction. Distraction with a very nefarious purpose.

Naw, they're excellent for determining which kind of people are controlling manipulative monsters!
