I can sense the hesitancy in many of my friends, who are cautious about what they say in group chats, while I tend to be more freewheeling. None of us are public figures, but we all work desk jobs in fields I’d consider liberal (law, govt, non-profit). If my group chats were ever leaked to my coworkers, I’d resign immediately and never show up again. I hate that we live in a world where people feel the need to self-censor even in private conversations among friends. It is sad.
Ultimately if you are a public figure, or someone important enough, you need to accept that a price of that is that your private acts, whether a taste for S&M or goober edgelordism, may go public. My suggestion would be to ask yourself if you would stand by your acts if they would go public, like Mr. Mosley.
Anyway, I think the only really offensive part of this whole thing was what these self conscious Nietzschean Übermensch looked like.

Seems like the best approach is to never communicate with anyone older than your oldest kid under any circumstances.
