Well that's out there forever now...

I know we've all been locked up for awhile-or really should have been-but I think we all need to grow up. I mean, Chris Evans' dick pic? How sexually repressed are we, as a society, that one actor accidentally sharing a tiny, blurry photo of his penis sets the world on fire?

Figuratively, unlike some other recent gender reveals I could mention.

"I mean it's so much easier than
coming to terms with things."

-Some gun owner

The answer is, of course, incredibly. We're an incredibly repressed culture. A katamari damacy of sexual neuroses. I think that's why so many of us own guns. Fortunately, amidst the tittering and "That's America's Dick" memes, both fans and fellow famouses offered support as well and that's super. Everyone is coming together over Chris Eva-goddamnit, now I'm doing it-but the point is that's the right reaction. Support for the person who's privacy has been violated, regardless of whether or not it was their own fuck-up because this could happen to anyone.

"A double standard? In American
Culture? I'm shocked, I tell you, shocked!"

-Literally no one

And does. And it's often way worse. Especially for women as actor and screenwriter Kat Dennings, herself someone whose personal photos were leaked, pointed out saying:

"The public respect for Chris Evans' privacy/ feelings is wonderful. Wouldn't it be nice if it extended to women when this kind of thing happens?"

-Kat Dennings, being
right about this

Yes, it would. The internet is a gross, toxic echo chamber of people being horrible to one another and while it has a short attention span and memory of Evans' slip up will eventually fade, this exact thing is going to happen to someone else and possibly someone without a support system of fans. And, I don't know, but this kind of feels like one of those things where if the internet disappeared tomorrow, we'd all be a lot happier.
