decorum

We saw this in Gamergate, where wild speculation about the sex lives of the victims reinforced the framework that the victims do not deserve the protection of basic respect and decorum.

What they’re propagating is far more dangerous than the decline of decorum in politics, or the presidential use of swear words formerly associated with truck drivers and sailors.

They directly confronted an opponent, Joe Biden, generating headlines for days and had critics questioning whether they had breached some sort of unspoken political decorum.

It’s a break of decorum, both of theater protocol and personal boundaries.

Just slipping into another time when people wore gloves and hats, and there was this sense of decorum and social echelons, was quite interesting.
