Bottom line: The NRA is making this ad because this is how the Republican base sees our country, at this moment in time, and it accurately reflects their feelings about everyone else in the country. These people are heavily armed and itching for a fight, talking nice and listening to their concerns will not defuse the…

Damn, Piers gained £10 in his neck 

“But my difficulty is by asking for examples, I have been labeled as some kind of MRA-prototype.”

Considering Benjamin and his pals not only said they were doing this and called their shot on Twitter (as per the polygon piece which had more info), their attendance was not in good faith.

It’s not “he hit me first”, it’s “he’s been orchestrating a long term harassment campaign against me”.

But saying someone’s very presence in a room warrants the claim of harassment itself is to me a very dangerous idea with broad implications.

If you were trying to “educate yourself” you would have researched this before you started to spew out you bile of idiocy. You’re just playing the Devil’s Advocate so that you can continue to justify what has at this point basically turned into victim blaming.

People have doxxed her and sent her death threats because of asswipes like Sargon. Her calling Sargon an asshole does not even begin to put her on his level. It’s dickholes like you and the OP of this thread who keep insisting on playing the Devils Advocate and do nothing but wag their fingers at the victims for…

You think shitbirds are safe from being called out just because they take a five minute break from being shitbirds? No.

Do you realize he’s launched a full campaign to ruin her life right? Like, people have doxxed her and sent her death threats and he has essentially encouraged it. But nope, she calls him an asshole and she’s immediately in the wrong.

“He hit me”

I second that.

No, their very presence was harassment.

They loaded up the first three rows with people some of whom have been posting photoshops of her for years. I think her response was fairly restrained compared to how I would have reacted if I encountered someone who spent years harassing me online loading up a bunch of seats at a talk to intimidate me.

This is the argument of a mental toddler. By this logic, she should just stay quiet and try to “rise above it,” or some other bullshit.

I have to say, I’m glad this is getting called out because honestly this shit is so low-level I can’t even believe anyone is noticing.

Why does someone like David Bowie die in their 60s and KFC gobbling fat fuck Donald get 10 more years on him?

How is it possible for a 71 year old man to have ZERO social graces???
