The Lost Art of Discretion
from Harvey Weinstein's Overturned Conviction & TikTok Ban | The Tim Dillon Show #390 · #390
6 min
Tim argues society has lost the value of keeping secrets, using the sex party TikToker as an example of someone who should have just kept quiet about her exploits instead of broadcasting them.
- Tim criticizes the 'mommy blogger energy' of people documenting their sex party attendance online instead of just being cool about it.
- The mechanization and video documentation of sex parties suggests people care more about the footage than the actual experience.
- Society has lost the value of keeping secrets; people used to maintain private lives they didn't share with everyone.
- Tim finds one positive thing about Harvey Weinstein: his preference for quiet, discreet behavior rather than public boasting.
- The distinction between close friends and internet followers has been destroyed, leading people to overshare intimate details with strangers online.
- Some things should be taken to the grave; attending three sex parties in one night is not something that needs to become a video.
- Tim does an extended parody of someone recounting multiple sex parties with the same pedantic tone as a cooking tutorial.
- Tim's recommendation: people should keep their sexual behavior close to the vest rather than broadcasting it to prove how much sex they're having.
- Going out and announcing you're a pervert while trying to demand respect contradicts itself; the LGBT community isn't suffering from being seen as insufficiently promiscuous.
- A 20-person polycule discussing boundaries is absurd—the boundary should simply be: don't tell anyone what you're doing and shut up about it.
