Do they carry trash bag liners? For a more experienced feel.
Exactly. Because she'd demurely turn around and ask "Wh-wh-what is this? Such tacky nonsense." And walk off the stage owning it.
Did anyone else lean back in their chair like they could escape the kiss? Just me?
This was one of the most badass, perfect moments in television history. On the heels of a ridiculous, laughable…
According to jurors in the Renisha McBride murder trial, no one believed the shooting was an act of self defense.
Yeah, and that's the lasting harm of the "born this way" argument. It sure was a useful line of argument and maybe one that really was worth it, but it can just as easily be applied to really bad sexual impulses that can't be expressed without harming people. It may have been a Faustian bargain for LGBT people to use…
Just don't ask why we can't post gifs anymore...
We discussed it all here last week. To death.
All same-sex marriages have been stopped in Virginia as of today. The supreme court is now deciding whether to hear…
There's also this very compelling Groupthink article on what's happening in Ferguson that I'm probably going to share later on, but if anyone is interested here it is.
That's his legal name.
Prior to Kinja, I headed the trollpatrol team for Jezebel, as many people here know. We dealt with rape gifs, violent pornography, racism, and harassment regularly, but there was a system in place with which to have it reported and dealt with. Banning didn't usually result in the same person immediately making a new…
Wow, thank you guys so much for writing this. To be honest, the mods have been dealing with this on and off for years. It's never been as bad as this. But back when we had main page abilities, we were able to remove the content alongside authors and tech. It helped protect our readers, our writers, everyone. It's…
I just want to write dude, not dismiss bloody rape gif trolls every day. It is the worst part of our jobs to hear from commenters that they can't discuss, say, a teen girl being great at Little League without some person boasting a burner account using the collective comment thread as a chance to harass people.
Working at Gawker Media is a dream job for many of the women on staff here at Jezebel. This is a place that takes…
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…
What bothers me about this is that we don't record IP addresses so as to protect these burner accounts for people who might want to tip us anonymously about a story. So the company is seemingly placing a priority on making these hypothetical tipsters feel safe over the safety of the actual real live women who write…
The last thing I want to do is give this giant and troubling waste of our goddamn time the acknowledgment that is clearly so desperately craved. But the fact that I must suppress my pride and bring attention to this in a plea for support from my own employer makes it all the more ridiculous.
