Certainly couldn't be because vigilante justice is problematic in principle, because it leaves people without any accountability to not only pursue justice, but decide what justice IS and who deserves it.

Yeah, it's always great when they put their hive mind to work to pursue justice.

"I like vigilante justice when I agree with the target and dislike vigilante justice when I disagree with the target" - said the child.

That's kind of my point.

I did.

It's so cute how stupid people think vigilante justice is something that you can pick and choose when to support.

Yep, same sterling vigilante justice process that ensure Adria Richards paid for her 'crimes', amirite?

They have photographic proof of rape? Somebody took a picture of somebody in the process of sexually assaulting her and passed it around?

What?

Her being intoxicated or passed out doesn't change it being a he-said, she-said. She said she was intoxicated or passed out and maybe had some people to support that, the other people at the party said otherwise.

True, but there is a little thing about the right to face your accuser and the witnesses against you.

Yes, the same way they 'achieved justice' for Adria Richards by forcing her company to fire her, and published all her personal information online for people to harass her.

To be fair, he did not technically solicit the photo. He said that she wouldn't do what this other girl did and she took it upon herself to send him a picture of her breasts. There was no 'I dare you to show me your breasts' or 'I want you to show me your breasts' anywhere in this story.

Huh.... if there is not message explicitly requesting her to send a topless picture, they actually could argue it was unsolicited and therefore sexual harassment.

"But don't ever forget that, at the end of the day, goy toys are for practice."

Ha! Sure thing bud. If you want to pretend you're the end goal, and not the fall-back plan once they've aged out of the dating/fucking market, you go with that.

I don't know your husband, but usually when people (including myself) rail on fake-tanning, we're implying fake-tanning to the extreme where it obviously looks fake or over-done. Like orange.

Holycrapthatbrunette...

I guess my point was that once you've been conditioned to find something attractive, is attraction really a choice?

But I don't think it was a conscious decision of the audience to just change their mind over night. It took an organized campaign to frame and repeat the message, one suited to a social climate where the poor tried to emulate the rich (they see rich white women following the tan fad, they follow suit).

"But in 20 years, when my skin looks much the same as it does now, I think I'm going to be grateful."

Isn't this the exact same coveting of traditional beauty traits that the article is talking about? I don't think it's a poor decision, do what makes you happy... but if it's having beautiful skin in 20 years that…

I don't think you made an unwise move, but aren't you still doing it in the pursuit of beauty (albeit at a later stage of life)?
