the fact that people just put their Full Names on the internet fucking terrifies me. my roommates were talking about someone from their class and one of them went “wait let me find their instagram” and i kid you not it didn’t even take them 30 seconds. and their account wasn’t even private, meaning we could fully see their entire life. their schooling, hometown, family, place of employment, close friends, everything was right there. all because we knew their name. that’s genuinely terrifying to me and neither of my roommates even seemed phased. not to sound like a boomer but for the love of god we need internet anonymity back
torchwood was wild for being like “anyway it’s 2006, which means society is now ready for a tv show about alien hunting bisexuals” like they did it in terrible ways but they really were like “every character on this show will get gay kissed” and then committed. they knew they were going to get characterized as the r-rated inappropriate spinoff that parents would disapprove of so they were like “might as well make this science fiction for the bisexuals.”
