This feels like similar energy to getting outraged about a tan suit.
Were all involved parties consenting? That's the only thing that matters.
Plus on the optics side, we've yet to see if being in the Epstein files is bad enough optics for CEOs, so I think "signed something on an adult woman's boobs when she most likely specifically requested/offered it" is entirely a non-issue.
Good luck with your morals. Glad you're fine with billionaires flexing societal norms. Go sign them boobs in public.
Puritanical bs has nothing to do with morals, as much as some like to pretend it does. What harm are you trying to call out or prevent?
He jealous of tiddy writers
That's the closest I've been able to think about for why people turn to puritanical values in the first place: jealousy that others can do fun things they think they can't, plus maybe a second layer of being upset that some aren't also upset about it.
Oh wait, I almost forgot about the control angle, where if you can convince enough people that some normal and ok aspect about humanity is actually wrong, then you can catch people "slipping" and manipulate them via guilt or blackmail.
I know the meme is older than I am, but I'm clearly not going to win an argument on the Internet Enjoy your ambivalence.
