Because one of the easiest ways to farm engagement on X is to gin up outrage among the masses, a discourse that refuses to die is that of “body count.” No, I’m not referring to the Clinton kill list (I kid, I kid), but rather the number of sexual partners people, but specifically women, have had.

Here is one example: an X rando with fewer than 7,000 followers puts out a post seen by more than half a million people that “if you have 10 years of dating around, hitting triple digits seems pretty reasonable but people act like this is a huge deal.” A Christian influencer uses this stranger’s tweet to proclaim that “guys trying to date right now are so COOKED.”
