    Can someone tell me what the hell "DWM" is in the context of a million tumblrites doleing? Because having been an avid magazine reader all I can think of is Doctor Who Magazine.

      @thelastgherkin I was going to say "Digital Wrights Management" before I realized I am very, very stupid.

      @thelastgherkin Digital Wights Management. They might have speech impediments? Could make sense since SOPA is afoot

        @ceruleanspark @pony It's "Down With Molestia" apparently.

          @thelastgherkin @ceruleanspark I've been missing most of this drama since apparently I don't follow any tumblrs that care, but a few FB friends have mentioned it. Why all of a sudden? And why Molestia? I mean Molestia is purely innuendo.. saucy innuendo. Meanwhile i dunno.. there are scarier witches to hunt.

      @thelastgherkin "Down with Molestia" is the actual meaning and it is every bit as assinine as it sounds

        @ceruleanspark I don't see how abhorrence of unfunny rape 'jokes' can be an asinine thing exactly.

          @thelastgherkin If the arguments were anywhere near that level of coherence, you'd be correct. Unfortunately it's just devolved into super aggressive moralising and radfems making the usual offensive generalisations about rape culture.

      @vt3c I recall reading in depth about SOPA and CISPA when they first came out and thinking that the only thing I really felt if-y about was that companies would have been given the power to pull the plug on web authors whom they thought violated copyrights because there wasn't any due process to it and could be abused, but everythign else seemed alright and public fears were way overblown.

      @vt3c I recall that that was one of the fears that had no real foundation back when I read about it.. maybe I recall wrong. To know what's really going on I had to look for actual breakdowns of the bill.

      @vt3c Dude, are you still on about SOPA? Similar bills have gone around and even passed and everything's still cool. Stop worrying about what they're doing over in Washington, if the boys on Capitol Hill want to feel empowered, let them.

        @zeldatra @vt3c I blame the media personally. Too much misinformation and bias.
