Objectification, hate, rape threats: the politicians debating online abuse mean well, but to truly understand, they need to see what I see

“Bop” stands for “been over passed”

No, it's not. It means "a good song".

Nothing on UrbanDictionary, nothing on even Google. What is this nonsense?

Sexual equality has ceased to exist online.

It never existed in the first place, so there's that.

Anyway, yeah, internet bad. Time to ban all sub-16 children from Social Media. It's been long overdue.

There's two definitions on the first page of the UrbanDictionary page for "bop" that refer to promiscuity from women. They're from 2005 and 2008. I don't know about the alleged acronym, but I've seen the use of "bop" to mean "slut" for years.
