Publicists who represented Johnny Depp during his 2022 trial against Amber Heard charged Jeffrey Epstein five figures a month for representation during 2017, according to invoices in the Epstein Files. Their PR strategies for Epstein reflect the later MeToo backlash.

Arresting Black journalists is also vice signaling. Their base is racist and hates journalists and they want to get them excited again. The mainstream media industry has never protected Black journalists or journalists of color the way it should.

2025 was the year millions of Americans awoke to the danger of state surveillance, violent policing, rights erasure, online censorship, ideological funding cancellations and retaliatory doxxing. None of this was new to sex workers. If there's not rights for everyone, there's rights for no one.

The moral panic around "gooning" is just the latest manifestation of our anxiety around sex and technology. And older, more potent anxiety about masturbation. Somehow, people investing in pleasure has become one of the great symbols of societal decline.
