Yeah the general white reaction to this has seemed very similar (I mean, on a whole other level obviously) to men who don't think discrimination/misogyny exists because they don't see it. You don't see it because it doesn't happen to you, jackass.

Come the fuck on white people.

Sincere thanks to the tech and product people — both New Yorkers and Hungarians — for working tirelessly and staying up until the wee hours to deal with this. Köszönöm.

I don't know. It's only Tuesday. So I'm hopeful but also so scared about what's to come.

I'm in the middle of this company tech thing, but I want to say this: this is exactly the right thing to do when people aren't paying proper attention to a real problem; it's not something I completely ignored but I obviously didn't give it proper attention, and I'm sorry about that; give me about 24-48 hours to

just get rid of picture posting for burners and only allow them for registered users.

Slate's commenting system (Livefyre) has issues, but it only allows pictures/gifs from certain websites to be posted in comments. Maybe something like that? At least for awhile. Not that that is a fix either. But maybe a deterrent for the a-holes that post the porn.

Don't allow burners to post gif images. This would also have the happy side effect of reducing posts where someone posts, say, a gif of people applauding instead of just saying "wow, that's really on-point and accurate."

Honestly? Get rid of inline images in comments. Sure, we all love cat GIFs, but if that is the price for being able to have a discussion without being assaulted with violent pornography then I think it is worth it. That or going back to the greys are the only effective solutions. At least give authors the option

It honestly breaks my heart a little bit that this post even needs to exist — but the manner in which this has been handled (or not handled, really) by HQ is pathetic. Not reporting on it feels hypocritical, so here we are.

For what it's worth, I want to apologize to our readers who are forced to interact with these violent gifs regularly. The point of Kinja is to create a better platform for discussion and those discussions CANNOT happen when you're inundated by such traumatizing material. It's this person's goal to shutdown

Or Defunkiak perhaps...

He has a very old spirit age :)

I apologize to everyone for saying "apparently" much too much. Noah has shown me the error of my ways, and how they can be passed on to unsuspecting children.

Glad you enjoy your 5 - if I ever become a mom, it's on my short-list of family vehicles to shop. Stay safe out there!

Pills made out of bullshit and sold to idiots.

Amazingly, not one of those existed when they actually invented the damn country.

More than a news channel... its a community? What a socialist.

If you have health insurance (and you don't get your health insurance through a religious employer), birth control is free! Thanks, Obama.
