lewd quiz on facebook
qestia:
ugh, I just logged into facebook to check it quickly and one of my FB "friends" had taken a s@x quiz of some sort on fb, making the results show up on my newsfeed, with an extremely graphic image to illustrate the results! I could not believe it. I promptly unfriended her. I had already been hiding her status updates, but had clicked to see the posts I was hiding... just in case I missed anything.
Who does this? What on earth was she thinking?

I think you maybe acted too rashly. I think this is more a case of people not realizing that every.little.thing gets posted in their friends' newsfeed. I've seen some of the results of some of these lewd quizzes, and knowing the people who took them, I think they were VERY mortified to find out that everyone on their friends' list saw the results.
whiterose:
Some of my colleagues have taken quizzes about controversial topics and posted the results. Not enough for me to defriend them. Hopefully no other colleague will rat on them or draw the wrong conclusion. I keep mine as controversy-free as possible, since who knows who can see it. But I do post things like my American Girl doll collection or my costumes that some people do not consider to be the best first impression, but that are generally tame otherwise.

The funny thing is, most, if not all, of those quizzes allow you to skip posting the results (I know I'm careful to never post them).
I generally "hide" the quiz from my feed, mainly cause I have friends who take billions in a row.

I hide my quizzes from my feed most of the time too. Quizzes seems to come in waves so if someone takes a quiz that I find offensive or inappropriate, I hide that particular quiz so I don't have to see anyone else's results if other friends take it.
