I’m sorry I misinterpreted that, but it’s a common refrain for stories like this. Advocating someone being beaten is also not really okay.

I would feel horrified and sad and want justice under the law. I am very, very sorry you’ve gone through that with your family.

This is never an okay thing to say, and I’m tired of hearing (/reading) it.

Let’s not pretend they didn’t see his desperation and vulnerability, either.

How did he “skirt” the definition of conset? They were of age. Did I skirt the law when I went to the bar on my 21st birthday? Following laws is not skirting them.

The victim-blaming in these comments is fucking disgusting. The goal is “stop victim blaming,” not “stop victim blaming except when the victim is someone I personally find to be icky.”

You do know what rape is? Getting robed and tied up isn’t rapey.

Yeah that all makes sense, and I’d have no issue with an article about gun violence against women it is just that this article/comment section had a factual error and when it was corrected some rather tired and poor criticisms were levelled (not by you). In fact being totally frank the original letter doesn’t…

Can I apologize for getting defensive about this? I am sorry. The issues you are raising are important. Thank you for taking the time to respond to me.

People don’t know how to think anymore. Instead they just hammer out canned reponses to trigger words, and now this is our main form of interpersonal communication.

In the letter, Clements calls on the actress to “demand change” and “Be a voice for our generation and for women — two groups who make up most of the victims of the gun violence in our country.”

Louis said he just cast the actor and didn’t think about the race because he didn’t want it to be a deciding factor. His kids look 100% white. The subject isn’t even addressed on the show. My point is, I thought we were moving towards any race / gender playing any character regardless of the original intent or…

Can someone explain to me in a non hostile way between this situation and say, the black actor who plays Louie CK’s wife in Louie, the black actor who played Rue in The Hunger Games, Angelina Jolie in Salt (originally supposed to be a male character) Although there was an uproar from racists for the Hunger Games, its…

See, I fucking hate Floyd Mayweather. I think any person that hits a woman for any reason short of she’s running at me with a knife is the lowest of the low. That being said...

Tried to stay friends.

Boy oh boy do we ever bust balls for victimless crimes in this country...

You know that that didn’t occur in Baltimore, and has absolutely zero to do with the topic at hand...right?
