I get so incensed by Internet commenters who throw “innocent until proven guilty” at me like they have made some grand point. I don’t have to wait for 12 people to decide beyond a reasonable doubt that someone probably did what they are accused of. So many people just willfully stick their heads in the sand instead of

protip: innocent until proven guilty only matters in a court of law. You have 50+ women coming forward accusing you of rape, yeah i’m calling you a guilty motherfucker and as long as I don’t publish it and claim it as fact you can’t do shit. Deal with it.

This poem is always worth posting; “Rape Joke” by Patricia Lockwood.

Yep, that’s why no man ever has been raped, no drugs have ever been used to limit people’s ability to fight back, and rape is solely a thing that occurs in a dark alley when a tiny defenseless woman is attacked by a big strong man!

I’m saying it’s more than basic decency. And it’s not a low bar to call a teenager sitting down at that table an out of the ordinary kind act — applauding him for saying “hey, what’s up” would be.

I don’t think this necessarily offers hope for humanity, but I wouldn’t say it’s just basic decency for a guy who went to the school expecting to be fawned over by excited kids to instead sit down with a lonely, awkward boy who probably didn’t even know who he was.

Damn it. At least, you’re at McDonalds probably biting on a Sausage Mcgriddle. I’m at Barnes & Noble having to pay for the magazine that I'm reading soaked up with my tears.

Great. Now I want to go to McDonalds.

How many times do they have to tell you they don’t start serving lunch until 10:15? Your fault at this point imo

Great. Now I’m crying in a McDonald’s. And it's not for any of the usual reasons.

Kurt Metzger seems like the kind of guy who thinks that he isn’t famous because he’s too “edgy” and “un-PC” but really it’s because he’s “not funny” and “bad at his job”.

Can we not blame Amy Schumer for the assholery of men she may have employed/known? Let’s stay focused on the true jerks who deserve our anger.

Except not. Victims who get orders of protection from their abusers are actually more likely to be attacked again, and the reason for it is because they got the order of protection. The abuser sees it as a violation of their control and will simply ignore it to further victimize the person who got the order in order

Sure, cause a man who breaks the law multiple times murdering his own children would be stopped by the magic piece of paper that is a restraining order. Good of you to blame her for his actions though. Violent men should always be shielded from personal responsibility, right?

We’d have the sentence “violated protective order” added into the story. She likely declined the order as she thought it would further aggravate the spouse.

Olympics: Simone Manuel shares historic night with some white guy.

They have a tax break for a second home that nobody else gets.

Your second two points are both bullshit.

No disrespect, Bobby, but why in the world is that not worth focusing on? There is less than nothing surprising about a straight (allegedly) man being completely ignorant about the gay life/lifestyle, but he should be absolutely dragged for revealing identifying info about these athletes / human beings and potentially

This misses the point. Nico Hines’ staggering ignorance is the least shocking part of this article. The original piece included identifying information about these athletes—some of whom are from repressive countries where violence against LGBTQ individuals is common and sanctioned. With one incredibly crappy
