    Power move

    I’d totally do this on purpose

    I do 3D scanning for one of the more popular high end sites. The guys coat their junk in smooth on & pour silicon in the resulting plaster mold, then send that to me to scan, embedded pubes & all. Not my favorite job but it’s an honest living. Just wish they’d send me some silicon vaginas every once in a while.

    Edit: Oh, and Yvette knew exactly wtf she was doing

      Yeah, I’m sure the calls of ‘neckbeard’ and ‘incel’ would be non-existent if it were a male subject with his fleshlight on full display.

      Her liking sex/masturbation isn’t bad. It’s just kinda awkward to accidentally let millions of people see your sex toys.

        It’s only taboo because of conservative evangelism, really. Like the difference in how the US vs Europe perceives sex vs. violence.

          Nah, I’ll go with “this one is awkward for everyone”. If it were a casual podcast, sure, who gives a shit, but on a serious interview? Weird.

            I just chuckled. That people are focusing in on the background for what is a “serious interview,” that in itself is weird. I’d be focused on the interview, regardless.

        We should continue to normalise that topic such that no one needs to feel like this is awkward.

      On a shelf though? Doesn’t dust adhere to rubbery or siliconey stuff? I would have though in a drawer would be more hygienic.

        It only collects dust if it sits around for a while. If it’s on the bookshelf, it’s probably not going unused for terribly long. Good for her!

      Last time this made the rounds, it was said she didn’t know the dildo was there, a friend put it there as a prank. It was also said she deleted all her social media and whatnot afterwards too. I don’t have source and admit I can be totally off

    Genuine question because I have no idea who that is, did she do this on purpose so that people would be fished into watching the video and therefore listening to what she is saying there?

      Definitely. What kind of animal stores a dildo on their bookshelf. You’re supposed to keep it safely tucked inside yourself.

      She went on the BBC (no pun intended) to talk about her problems finding employment.

      So it’s possible but my spidey sense is she’s doing it for a laugh.

      However normal reminder, don’t put anything in backgrounds that you don’t want screen capped and sent first to your colleagues and subsequently to the world. Aka passwords, pin numbers, phone numbers, notes, org charts, technical artefacts or business sensitive information (including whiteboards)

    I’ve heard people say “the BBC”.

    I’ve heard people say “BBC News”.

    Ive never heard anyone say “the BBC News”.

    and that cock isn’t even black.

      I find the projection in these comments fascinating. It’s someone joking about an embarrassing gaffe, not a moral judgement or anything close to slut shaming.

        It may not be a moral judgement, but it certainly equates shitty time and having dildo in your interview background. Almost as if it was shaming, or I don’t really know what else to attribute that to

          There’s a big difference between recognizing something will lead to a bad time and thinking it should lead to bad time. Like I really hope they don’t have a public way to contact them.

            Thanks for the explanation, now I see what I have missed. I guess, if the tweet author had all the internet warriors in mind when writing the comment, it was a correct assessment.

            In that case I don’t see a reason to pull that story out on twitter which could easily rekindle the negative attention to the person in the photo
