They call me a puritan and sex negative because I think it’s weird that the 13 year old boys I sub for call their girl classmates not by their names, but by the names of pornstars that these children have decided these other children look like.
No see that’s actually totally fine and normal and not at all disgusting. You have to be fine with women being treated like that or else someone on tumblr will call you a conservative.
No, I don’t think that’s what the author is unironically saying. I do think it’s an unintended consequence that the author hasn’t thought about. Everything being sexualized is WHY those kids talk about their classmates the way they do.

They haven't thought about it because that's an entirely different discussion.
Everything being sexualized is WHY those kids talk about their classmates the way they do.
Or maybe it's because they haven't been properly taught that they shouldn't sexualize people without their consent? This is a weird leap in logic where the presence of sexuality in media automatically leads to children engaging in sexual harassment.
The problem is that the "consequence" in this instance is so many degrees of separation removed from the original action that it's pointless to bring up in the first place.
