| The Scarlet Letter (1861 painting by Hugues Merle) |
Public
humiliation of those who defy moral
codes is nothing new. Back in
the mid-nineteenth century, Nathaniel Hawthorne
wrote a novel called The Scarlet Letter. It features an adultress from
a Puritan society who was forced to
wear a bright red A around her neck.
These
days we’re far more sophisticated, but
no less vigorous. An example of this can
be found within the gaming industry. Outriders
will soon be branding cheaters with
“a discreet but visible” watermark. Yet such visibility does not seem the least bit discreet.
