That’s all the Gawker comment section is.

Yeah, unfortunately this isn’t as fleshed out as the the IBC. If the desire was to bring attention, well I guess mission accomplished.

...and it officially becomes this year’s Ice Bucket Challenge.

Threatening to rape people and threatening to castrate them are incompatible with any kind of moral authority. The idea that those things can be made good by circumstance just shows how far things have fallen.

So that’s intimidation, threats, and harassment, right?

Right here.

Well said and hopefully everyone else will keep his feet to the fire and force him to walk the talk. We'll see.

I too hope he gets some more skin in the game, but we should reticent to deny his motivations outright just because of his social standing. For some reason he’s taken up this cause; let’s not lecture him on why he shouldn’t because he hasn’t lived the hardest life. I don’t think he’s trying to win the personal…
