This was never a mystery to me. There was no way Atticus Finch couldn’t be a racist. EVERYONE was racist at that time. Just because you believed in the rule of law doesn’t mean you believe in equality.

Mike Tyson is a deeply disturbed and mentally hurt person with major anger issues. But he’s so filled with self-loathing it’s hard to feel anything but pity for him, at least for me. He’s publicly apologized for his past, and he clearly regrets his actions. So I can understand people still loathing him—but I can also…

Yeah, I’m sure you would do all of those things, Keyboard Warrior.

I'd say watch out with that kind of talk. But he... Won't be reading this.

When reached for comment, Floyd dodged, then weaved, then danced around for about forty minutes, then kinda batted the question away, smiled a lot, and received the award anyway for some fucking reason.

And since Reagan, we have had 4 terms of Democrat presidents and only 3 terms with Republicans. Yet mass incarceration of non violent criminals has increased. So, who is really to blame for the problem?

A woman doesn’t need a strap-on to rape a man.

“But dude-on-dude forced butt sex is soooooooooooo funny and an appropriate punishment for criminals!!”

It’s not homophobia, it’s rapephobia. I think most men would be equally horrified if they were raped by 6’2” woman with a strap-on.

One time Christopher Meloni posted a prison rape joke on Facebook and all I could think about was Mariska Hargitay and all of her various advocacy work that was so obviously connected to being on Law and Order: SVU for so many years and UGH. It made me so mad. It was a reference to Oz or something but it still was so…

Yeah, homophobia absolutely has got to be the reason. I mean, why else wouldn’t someone want to be raped?

Even as a gay, I went to jail for cocaine possession, which considering my demographic isn’t that extraordinary. And I was terrified that someone would pick up on me being gay and rape me. But, it was at that point where I learned the difference between jail and prison.

Well, rape is pretty horrifying, and it’s about power...I don’t know what you’re implying about “testosterone-fueled” heterosexual men. I don’t think the desire to NOT be abused/sexually overpowered HAS to imply homophobia?

He’s right. We never joke about rape in this country unless it’s man-on-man prison rape. Then everyone thinks it’s hilarious. “Put him in a cell with Bubba”..ha ha ha. It’s either all wrong or it isn’t.

i was going to say a fomorian, they were wild and chaotic and his beard is goat-ish. maybe he’s balor and traded the evil-eye for the mouth.

It’s cool that you’re doing these UFC articles. I suppose that Deadspin does these as well, but I prefer an article like this that’s written out of love than one that I would expect to be written out of snark.

If you think that “selling hearts, livers, and lungs” is going to play the same as “donating tissue” you are being completely naive.

Yes, that paragraph is in the article, I actually read it.

Since I complain so much and so often about the exaltation of “sex workers” on this site, quick kudos for having the nerve to write and run a story that allows that prostitution might actually not be a good thing, without the equivocating “but empowerment / Belle Knox / you do you girl!” disclaimer.

That's what you get with no red tape to navigate through, 24 hour a day labor and no pesky safety or environmental regulations to deal with.
