Hey I just went back to look at the conversation we had and it's not on the article page anymore... This is seriously depressing... I'm really beginning to lose hope in Jezebel for keeping authors like this and for their censorship of reasonable criticism...

You did reply to me, Sunshine.
Are you upset that I was unkind to you?

Why are 90% of you comments needlessly dismissive and rude? You haven't demonstrated the knowledge, intelligence, or wisdom to justify your haughty attitude, yet you feel entitled to it.

Are you done making assumptions about a stranger, or do you want to tell the rest of us about his favorite foods and hobbies?

So far I have seen her take up for a child rapist, imply that women get raped because they aren't as smart as her, tell other people's kids to fuck off, make a joke out of paying someone to rape her, literally brag about spreading std's to her clueless boyfriend, etc.

She also wrote an article bragging about the fact…

No, they've proven time and again that they simply don't have it in them to own up to their mistakes and offer sincere apologies. It's a deeply-flawed mindset and it's a crying shame, really, because they've set themselves up for regular disdain and mockery, especially in feminist and media circles.

Jezebel? Admit they were wrong about something? Not in the 4-ish years I’ve been reading.

Aha. If you came in from a cross-link to another Gawker site, I don't think she can do anything.

Based on today's evidence — including the sudden disappearance of my account, and all its posts - the preferred motif is still to block accounts and delete comments until the author's fingers get tired.

I'm impressed that Tracy hasn't blocked your account (and posts) into the Kinja ether by now.

Me too (although I was coming on here to say I'm a perv and I actually like this look.) But either way, it sucks that dude got blasted on the internet as a "shitty fashion faux pas" with his face and junk fully visible, and it sucks that Jez is censoring comments pointing that out.

This guy's clearly waiting for the bus or something and probably wanted to wear something comfortable - he had an unzipped jacket that was probably zipped most of the time over his junk, but didn't think unzipping it would lead to someone taking a creepshot. Anyway, it doesn't fucking matter why he's wearing…

Thank you

But is it gluten-free?

I'm frankly shocked more people on this - of all sites!!! - aren't as offended as you are for this article! I don't have anything meaningful to add to this conversation that you haven't already said.

Recommended for truth.

My eldest step-son is subject to endless bullying. In grade 9, these kids purposely pushed him into a wooden fence from behind. They filmed it in an attempt to make a viral video*.

Same here. I sort of live in paranoia that my picture is going to be taken like that or that I'm going to end up on a news report as a headless fatty.

Longtime reader/lurker at Jezebel, and I wonder: Has any author on this site ever, ever retracted a post or apologized for it? Has there ever been a time when someone realized that they unthinkingly crossed some line and had the decency to acknowledge it? Like many others commenting here, I'm uncomfortable with the…

I personally find it irritating when people use free of speech as a defense. In the U.S. freedom of speech is about freedom from government interference, it has absolutely nothing to do with not being held accountable for whatever vile opinions someone may express. Nobody is trying to jail or execute Tracie so it…

"particularly when you as a white person have chosen to involve yourself in that system"

I took that statement to be critical of her, which I found slightly unfair. If you can't beat them, join them. I view her as working within the system to try and educate herself and change things for the better. Like I said…
