The attached meme seems to do a lot of slut shaming, but it is also broadly criticizing a type of person... For instance, "combative and argumentative," "drug abuse," "boss babe," etc. are brought up.

To criticize the characteristic of promiscuity succinctly, it will sometimes be indistinguishable from slut shaming...

Is it still valid, then, to bring these things up as negtives?

Or is criticizing sexual promiscuity always just none of anybody's business and should be actively avoided by everybody?

But the meme is only an example, the question itself doesn't mention gender once I think?

This is a good point. I also would say this... To criticizie promiscuity properly, you hve to criticize male promiscuity. That is absolutely the case. Fornication is bad, either way.

Let's say, though, I had used a meme poking fun at male pickup artists (PUAs).... Would it get 5+ downvotes in an hour?
