I’ve been waiting for this for months, since I heard that WordPress was working towards a better editor that let you really customize what you want your posts to look like.
For the time being, you need to be on the WordPress mobile beta, but the feature will be released publicly in a little over a week (March 13, apparently). It’s really easy to get on the beta, and you can try it out for yourself!
Here’s how you turn it on!
Support for the time being will be limited to entering paragraphs, headings, images, and page breaks, but new blocks will be added over time! It’s gonna be great!
While the YouTube video is being reinstated (read more here), here’s the Archive.org version.
I may as well just post every single time Pop Culture Detective puts out a video, because I’m right there with them shouting my support every time a new one is posted.
This time, the subject is the treatment of males who are sexually assaulted, and their portrayal in pop culture. It is truly unbelievable how pervasive this ‘joke’ trope is, and to me it is equally bizarre how this trope persists even today.
It seems like today for the most part, sexual assault of women is a pretty clear taboo, especially to be played for laughs. However, the same cannot be said of men who are subjected to the same kinds of assaults. The range of types of media where this is pervasive is truly one of the most shocking parts, ranging from children’s shows all the way to adult police dramas.
I think what is happening here is that the ‘joke’ is so played out at this point, that (surely male) writers don’t really think through the implications of what they’re implying is occurring. At least, that’s my hope, because if they are thinking it through, that’s even more horrifying. The idea that if you’ve done something wrong in your life, that you deserve physical punishment is something that I find abhorrent, and it’s a central tenet of this trope.
Nobody ‘deserves’ abuse of any kind, especially in the context of somebody already serving a prison sentence, and anybody could become a victim of this kind of assault. This type of situation is certainly not deserving of a laugh in TV or movies, and it should certainly be something we continue to see less of until it hopefully disappears completely.
Update is out. iOS 12.1.4 fixes the bug as well as another security issue that Apple found while auditing the code for FaceTime. Group FaceTime has now been turned back on (for those on 12.1.4 or higher).
