The problem is, in recent months the harassers have rallied around a common cause and collectively swarm any relevant article in far greater numbers than their disorganized "opposition." Any forum that isn't actively culling them turns into a circle jerk of shitlords replying to and upvoting themselves.

I'm not anti-gun. I grew up in a place with guns. I understand their utility. But the reason I've never bought one — besides the difficulty of getting a CHL license in New York — is that it's another thing someone can wrestle away from me and use against me. I just don't think it's a solution to the larger issue.

I still don't get it. I might say rude things about Huckabee but I've never threatened to hurt or kill him in any message, comment or tweet. I don't track down his schedule or home address.

A few minutes before the tweets started, I had gotten an email from Domino's, letting me know that my pizza order was ready, payable with cash upon delivery. I'd shrugged it off as a glitch in their ordering system. I hadn't ordered a pizza, and the address listed on the order was an apartment I hadn't lived in for a

I dealt with a stalker in high school. He wanted to date, I said no and he went batshit. Threats, showing up places I was, sending threats through other people, waiting outside my classes, telling people I was a slut, driving down my street-usual stalker stuff. My parents took me to the police, and while I was

Uh, nope, it started with attacks against Quinn and the whole "five guys" slut shaming fiasco.

GG was about journalistic ethics. It got sabotaged pretty early on by some people who just wanted a hashtag to rally their attacks against Anita and Zoe around. It's kind of pathetic, because those idiots completely derailed and halted the discussion that GG was trying to have, and ever since then it's become a

Literally had this not two days ago. Infuriated me. I stick up for a man, we're bros! Brothers! Stick up for a woman though? I must just want to get my dick wet. Holy fuck.

I have a feeling if people had just ignored Anita Sarkeesian, she probably would have just faded. I know she had a big Kickstarter campaign for her videos and what not, but the first place I heard of her videos was from The Amazing Atheist (looking back I can't believe I actively watched that channel). From what he

Twitter is an awesome place to have the whole world tell you how wrong you are and really just hollow out any faith you had in the human race.

Shedding light on the constant abuse someone is receiving (for the crime of stating an opinion in YouTube videos) is not "bringing it back from the dead". It's showing us all that this hate campaign has not "died down" despite you being bored with the story.

Bolt from Bolt loves dogs, unsurprisingly. He studies dramatic arts, volunteers at an animal shelter in his free time, and watches a lot of TV shows.

these look really forced.

It doesn't matter, in the child welfare context, whether a mom is doing the best she can. If she's not meeting her kids' basic survival needs, the kids deserve a safe home regardless of her best efforts. Some people doing the best they can still can't meet their kids basic needs for daily care because they are very

Yeah, this is totally about shaming and not the BF being a monster or the mother being a coward.

As a child whose mother failed to protect her from abusive stepfathers/boyfriends, I say fuck her. Children are utterly defenseless and can't leave an abusive situation under their own power. This woman's kids didn't choose her shitty boyfriend.

It is SO hard for me to subscribe to this theory. I want to be generous of spirit and forgiving, but my sympathy well is close to dry. It's hard for a child to accidentally get burned, repeatedly, and burns are exceedingly painful and scary. If the moms are, for whatever reason, unable to protect their children, maybe

I'd say replicating a group of friends social media accounts for years is a mega shit ton weirder than snagging a pic for a fake tinder account. I'd say those things are miles apart on the weird scale.

What happened to the baby?! Does anyone know about elephants?? Will this baby survive without it's family? Omg I'm dying.

In my case the only thing that holds value is the 3 months of PS+. I don't even think Sony really owes anything for the incident since we got so much for the Welcome Back program.
