tInstagram deleted this Harvard undergrad’s photos for being ‘too sexual.’ You be the judge.
By David Grant 1 hour ago · 8 comments
On the surface, it’s a seemingly LOL-worthy brush-up with a social media company’s terms of service: A Harvard undergrad named Miles Kennelly posted some photos to Instagram that were flagged as inappropriate, and were promptly deleted.
But is there a double standard at play here?
The openly gay student who now lives in New York took to Twitter after the photos were deleted to see what people thought:
“Instagram took down ANOTHER pic bc it’s ‘sexual,’” he wrote before asking: “Would they take down a fully-clothed woman who happens to be busty?”
We know what you’re thinking. Finally — the ripped, white, Harvard students of the world see a little justice. But hey, we’re still glad the pics have returned to their rightful place.

First of all, “social justice warrior” ???????
Instagram is a stickler for the rules when it comes to sexualized body parts, they also delete posts that show even a hint of a nipple.
Remember the freethenipple campaign?

What a relief! The exhibitionist hoes (sp?) of this world really are constrained in their opportunities to display their wares these days.

I know there are probably many who think like this - people who think racism and sexism are rampant but homophobia is not, and therefore no white man ever suffers injustice even when he happens to be gay. Which is a demonstrably false belief. Gay men have been harassed, not only online but also in the real world, for dressing skimpy in situations where this was tolerated for women. Last year (or perhaps in end 2015) a gay man killed himself after he was harassed by the NYPD for how he dressed at a gay bar, and lost his case in court.
Like someone said in the Queerty comment section, America is homophobic, but it's not just that - it also hates the male body.

Ignoring R12 Blatant attempt to downgrade racism and sexism, I doubt his anything to do with his sexuality. There are plenty of gay men post butt ass naked and their pics stay. It probably was just a jealous hater who kept reporting his pictures and instagram deleted it.

Oh for fuck's sake, if a woman posted a picture camel toeing that obviously, it'd be gone too.

That doesn't prove anything, only perhaps that moderation is inefficient. Some users post illegal content on Instagram and their posts aren't taken down either.

R15 Yes it does. Unless you have proof that his pictures were deleted due to homophobia you have no argument. Any court would laugh at you. I don't know what type of complex you have but not everything that happens to a gay that he doesnt like is homophobia. If instagram was truly homophobic there would be a witchhunt to to delete every picture that looks like his from gay men.

r16 You have no proof that it wasn't motivated by homophobia or anti-malesness either.

Calm down, sweetheart, people banting on DL don't have to abude by the highest standards of scientific or legal demonstration. We're both just discussing hypotheses, stupid.

The opposite is also true, silly. Not everything bad that happens to gay men is unrelated to homophobia. In fact, bad things that happen to gay men that target his sexuality do have a high chance of being fueled by homophobia.

You're so simple-minded. Instagram doesn't have to be homophobic as a whole for homophobia to happen. These things could be the work of individual moderation staffers who are homophobic and overread the guidelines in a way that satisfies their prejudices. It's the same, for example, for police bigotry. The police doesn't have to be racist or homophobic as a whole in order for bigoted police abuse to happen.

Of course because you know your argument is retarded.
"You're so simple-minded. Instagram doesn't have to be homophobic as a whole for homophobia to happen.

Okay now I know you're slow. Why hasn't the same mod delete other gay mens pictures? This is the only reported occurrence this has happen, unless that was his last and only day on the job and just decided to target that guy? The difference between that is NUMEROUS of police officers have killed minorites in a cycle. Your race baiting argument is "Oh my gee a gay mens pic was deleted so homophobia!!!!".
"The opposite is also true, silly. Not everything bad that happens to gay men is unrelated to homophobia. In fact, bad things that happen to gay men that target his sexuality do have a high chance of being fueled by homophobia."
So if a gay man gets struck by lighting walking from a gay club, the sky is homophobic? This doesn't target his sexuality because in none of the pictures is he's naked WITH A MAN. Nice reach though.

Remember all the fire instagram as getting for deleting pictures of women with period blood on their blankets or something? Fully clothed too. On art accounts.
Instagram doesn't have workers trolling around deleting pictures. They delete based on reports. Dude in OP must have some haters who report his thirst pics.
And women's pictures with vag outline would be deleted if someone reported too.

These hoes better take it easy on Instagram. Sooner or later authorities will be looking closely at these hoes to uncover huge prostitution operations. We all know IG is prime advertising

So this precious attention-whore is upset because all his vapid selfies where he’s clearly wearing a cockring under his Speedos in order to push his package to the front to make sure it gets noticed have been deleted by Instagram? I’m sorry but I can’t work up too much outrage over this narcissicist getting censored on social media.

He posted a pic of his hard-on. Of course it would get deleted.
What does this whore do for a living now that he's graduated Harvard? And won't employers google him and his boner?

There are a ton of instagram pics of guys showing off their bare asses. Frontal nudity and erections are more of a tumblr thing.
I get why he makes a big deal about it (self promotion), but it's really much ado about nothing.

He's not really upset, he's doing it to gain followers and attention for himself and his (allegedly) large penis. He's hot, and has a lot going for him, and I guess good for him that he found a way to get followers with this story. It's so transparent even a baby could see it from a helicopter, but I guess not everyone is as cynical as me judging from the responses on this thread?
Obvious PR!
Meanwhile I will be waiting for his porn video to "leak".

Large? That hard-on is really small. Why would he be showing it off?

^ He was thinking with his penis.
His penis was engorged and he threw caution to the winds.

I discovered this “Miles Kennelly” ‘Harvard undergrad’ (big whoop) through DL years ago—probably this thread.
I am curious what people think of him now. I ran across a post of his on Twitter and followed a trail.
“Miles Kennelly” apparently keeps changing his name. He has also been “Kev_Millz,” Kevin Mills, and he is now “kevv_charles,” although his Instagram profile also uses KevinVonMiller with a money bag emoji next to it...
His Twitter account lists him as “former economist at the Central Bank of Armenia” and a Harvard undergrad.
Recently he has tweeted that BLM protesters are “domestic terrorists,” “ANTIFA is a national security threat,” and “thank God we have the second amendment.”
He is followed by many notable gays as well as gay porn star.
What say you?

As far as an Instagram whore account goes - his is pretty non-offensive and bland.
Does anyone remember that Brazillian guy who had an Instagram account filled with pics of his cock in various states of erection - always clothed but very visible. He had a MASSIVE cock and it was all sexy as hell. It was eventually shut down after a long time (12 months at least). But my point is that it was basically pron as opposed to this one which contains a few nipple pics and speedo pics. No different to any other Instagram whore's account really.
Are there any cock pics? I think I speak for us all.
