    Yeah that’s exactly the problem - it’s a meme criticizing ourselves for being too stupid not to simp out classified info to a pretty girl. The girl isn’t the one being called out here, it’s a joke about how frequently US contractors are caught doing this because of how dumb and uncontrollably horny they are.

    Being called racist or sexist in response to a meme making a much more nuanced and cutting critique (especially one expressed in such a truly disgusting way) doesn’t wound the ego or anything, it’s just fuckin’ annoying.

      Being called racist or sexist in response

      It only addresses the people who blame the girl. You don’t do that, you shouldn’t feel offended.

        That’s giving them a bit more credit than they should reasonably be given, but that’s beside the point:

        It ain’t that I’m somehow offended, I’m just annoyed at how smug they acted while they were spectacularly missing the point (and that they did it in an incredibly crude way).
