What troubles me is that they are benefiting from her attacks as well. It means the racist/sexist monsters will be too busy attacking Leslie to come after them.

They didn’t speak out the first time either. None of them have felt compelled to speak and it’s kind of disheartening, especially now that it’s clear ... if anyone was thinking otherwise ... that the attack is very much in part racially motivated.

I actually just read an interesting piece over on Mic proposing that we stop allowing them to hide behind the label “alt-right”, and just start referring to them as what they are: white supremacists.

Right. She has a voice and is outspoken with that voice which is a threat to their fragile toxic masculinity and false sense of racial “superiority.”

That’s because she is awesome. That woman radiates pure joy and that scares the crap out of bigots. They don’t understand what joy is.

My eyes are stuck somewhere in the back of my head.

No. I’ve had non-confrontational friends remain silent when I needed the backup so perhaps I’m making this personal, but I’m disappointed in their silence here! It’s very cold of them to just opt-out of the discussion here. Would love to see them use their voice to offer public support for Leslie & blast the…

Absolutely. It’s indecent, unkind and there is no earthly reason she should be perpetually hounded in this way; show a little humanity whoever you are out there, because you will be held accountable at some point and this is truly damaging.

What happened was a sex crime. She was targeted and harassed for simply being her.

So I was really getting into the Olympics this year and I started following several athletes who were competing and I wanted to follow. One day during the games I decided to read the comments to a female athlete’s photo. I was shocked. The worst of humanity juxtaposed with some of the best.

yup. And I feel so awful for her. what a fucking shit few months she must be having.

Because she’s a black woman who gained success via her own hard work. Racists and sexists were spurned to harass her by one of their fuckboi leaders because they claim she’s the racist and sexist one for recognizing that she’s a victim of....racist sexism.

Also misogynists. She’s standing at the intersection of the two largest streams of hatred on the internet.

I think I just eye-twitched myself into a stroke. ;)

My dude, I’m pretty sure I saw in another Leslie Jones thread that Leslie is the real, actual, reverse racist here.

Never mind that even if you accept that as true it’s still a classic tu quoque fallacy and wouldn’t justify any of Milo’s garbage.

Good. A message needs to be sent that this sort of intimidation is not something that should be tolerated. I hope Leslie Jones is feeling all the love being sent her way after this and knows that the vast majority of people have nothing but sympathy for her.

Great comment, but could you stop staring at my kids? Thanks

so you’re checking out the kids in the park for hours, but lie to your wife about it? NICE!

Leslie Jones is a goddamn American treasure and I want to raise an army to defend her. WHO IS WITH ME
