boatyardblues adding the stat “80-95% of TW retain their penises” would provide the context. Maybe #NoToSelf-ID for good measure...
I totally understand the thinking behind that. And this is just gut based opinion, not "here's all my evidence" fact, but...
Just like the road to hell is paved with good intentions (which in itself plays a pretty big role in this specific social debate) so too is
The road to cutting off this simple, yet genius message from its place in history is paved with embellishments.
The little boy who called the Emperor naked needed no website or hashtag. Because he was telling the truth. The umebellished truth has the power to stick to the point, penetrate deeply (no pun intended), be memorable, resist any muddying of waters and cause unguarded, semi conscious agreement that bubbles up in the mind of even those who were quite enthusiastically complimenting the new robe just two minutes before.
I think the (real world) universally accepted truth captured by the design, in its current unaltered form, has the potential to become a global meme. In the hands and eyes of millions of "fed up with waffly bollocks and its associated silencing strategies" ordinary people from all persuasions, all walks of life, with very different priorities. So too it has the ability to allow an organic, non-corralled, non ring fenced conversation to evolve and blossom.
A conversation that allows more people to inform, and be informed of the many headed hydra that the TRA movement has become. And all the issues associated with their aims.
A conversation that no single campaign or group owns. So it cannot be fought or closed down in a well practised, targeted, efficient manner.
My gut tells me that if embellishments are added there will be a gusty sign of relief fro t'other side. Because they know what to do to beat down targeted campaigns or clearly defined groups of oppositional people.
And they know their strategies work best when things get fuzzy and "look over here, not over there, look over here! Bad bad people behind this! Nazis !" ,
A clear as a bell, unadorned and universally accepted statement of fact.... the vast majority people know is true on a head/heart/gut level, that is a much more scary beast and their "some women have penises" +associated post modern bollocks can't compete. And they know it.
They will want to redirect the conversation. We could inadvertently make that much easier for them via embellishment rather than wholehearted embracement of Your Emperor Is Naked.
I have never been as convinced that something so seemingly small and simple could topple a steaming, propped up, tower of bollocks .... if it's outstanding, unequivocal clarity is allowed to organically snowball into a monster sized weapon that Goliath has no useful defence against.
There is one more thing. Unadorned with links and hashtags it sends a very clear message to our New Lords And Masters, The SM giants. And all the organisations that have kowtowed to them for fear of losing popularity, or high rankings.
We don't need them, the real world is the new social media king.
The algorithm is dead, long live Real Life.
