No. Just no. The "if you can't handle it, leave" is never, ever the correct response on dealing with abuse. Aside from dismissing the concerns of the people bothered, it also quickly results in a race to the bottom for the abuse until no one wants to go there any more, easily offended or not. I've been online since…

I don't understand your point. Because it's a "basic method" of trolling, it's... not something to be concerned about?

Not really digging the insinuation that anyone who is upset by violent rape gifs isn't sane, grown-up, or doesn't realize the internet isn't a safe space. Maybe you didn't mean it that way, but it comes off kinda shitty!

Speaking as somebody with a burner account, my ability to post without tracking my IP address doesn't trump Gawker's responsibility to serve its readers., and its readers don't deserve to be flooded with violent rape imagery.

Is there any particular reason why burner accounts can't have certain HTML tags turned off so…

This post is a courageous and inspiring example of serving your readers and putting them first. It makes me proud to be part of this Internet community.

See, that's the easiest solution and also the one that's the most hurtful to readers because it means that to get rid of the gifs, we have to give up a comments feature that there is no reason we shouldn't be able to enjoy. I hope they don't go with that option because if they do, it really means that rape gif asshole…

exactly. There are so many other options. I have changed my daughter on the floor of the restroom (with a changing pad and my jacket because I'm not a total lunatic and she seems to be a-ok) we maybe get pissed when there isn't a place to change the kid and think "fuck these ass holes I should just open the diaper…

No. Just no. I think breast feeding in public is fine, mothers with babies crying on airplanes deserve some sympathy because there really isn't a damn thing they can do, and that guy who posted a (totally made up) story about buying all the pies at BK to spite a kid is an asshole, but this?

How dare you confront men with the irrefutable evidence that vaginas have rich full lives outside of their occasional, brief contributions!

WHY would it be a lobster tail? None of those flavors scream lobster. A cylindrical, knobby-ended confection filled with creamy goodness, on the other hand, does scream dick.

I would prefer to love them from a distance.

My husband worked at a wine auction house when this guy was caught, and YOU GUYS IT WAS CRAZY. If I remember correctly, the FBI broke into his home to find bottles soaking in his sink to remove their labels and wines in the fridge marked with notes that said things like "possible Romanée-Conti" or whatever he was…

my infant is so snuggly and sweet, and i love seeing her thrive...but I am so so so serious that I'm never doing it again. I can't even IMAGINE doing this shit again. It's like running a marathon-some people do multpiles, and some people do one and say "well that was nice, i'll continue jogging for pleasure, but that…

Why did you link that hatchet piece? It's bullshit and you know it.

Yeppers, came here just to say that. This applies to easily 75% of the weddings I've been to. Marriage, commitment, yada, yada, but here's a party with old friends! Sign me up!

If would have been simpler to just say:

6. If your [sic] only going to show up for food and alcohol and really have no interest other than that

Ruin the countries economic system, force people into homelessness... No jail.

Hide a major defect in your car, killing people as a result... no jail.

Sell the people who collapsed the economy and covered up murder cars... 10 years in jail.
