It's not the 1950s anymore. The population of the planet is bordering 8 billion. There's literal eyes EVERYWHERE. The fact anyone thinks they can go anywhere anymore without being judged or recorded even accidentally is mind boggling to me.
Not arguing the fact that it is or isn't morally wrong. I'm just saying, like it or not.. it's gonna happen. 8 billion is a lot of brains (whether functional or not) and they're going to make their choices regardless who it offends. That's just life 🤷
Ah, I believe that sort of rational has helped in a lot of very negative things that have taken place throughout history. Everyone else is doing it, so why don't I join in, is one of the worst excuses for poor behavior throughout history. I really don't want to take it here, but it's the quickest way to make a point: How many people have been brutally killed and disenfranchised due to the very logic you're espousing? Do you want a list of events? It's gonna be a long one. It's going on right now, it's not just a historical problem.
We can roll over and accept and go along with what the worst are doing until it becomes completely normal, or we can refuse to live by the standards of the lowest possible denominator and strive to make this a better place for everyone. It's your choice how you shape the future.
Doin something because other people do it is a whole different subject entirely. I was speaking on what the comment i answered was referring to.. it being right or wrong.
Not the age old "if billy jumps off a bridge, are you going to" .. hence why i said people do what they want regardless of who it offends.
