Boys like Tyler are what my teenage and adult wet dreams are made of. Black boys riding skateboards. Just typing it out gets me all fuzzy.

But I still live in a society in which this is now established case law. So you’re welcome to be flippant, but you’re avoiding the fundamental question.

As terrible as this girl is and as much as she may very well be a straight up sociopath, I still don’t feel comfortable with the idea that the State should be able to find somebody criminally culpable for somebody else’s suicide. In this case, I go back to the question of whether this would have been a crime if she…

My favorite: Ethan Couch - Affluenza

This is gospel, all of it.

Glad someone else said it first.

Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.

C’mon, man. Did you really have to misery-one-upsmanship this article? Do you walk into funerals and ask “You think this is bad? My parents, siblings, and cats all died in a house fire.”

IMHO I think the problem is that colleges are investigating and closing rape cases to begin with. There are actual government agencies that have the responsibility and the power to investigate crimes and they’re not in the loop. I have no idea who was on the investigative team but if it was a panel of social workers,…

True, this is more along the lines of wrongful public disclosure of private fact. And while I have no love lost for these guys, I also think that the fact that someone is a scumbag doesn’t completely abridge their right to privacy. If the hackers had, say, sent this information to all of these people’s partners…

I thought credit card data was leaked too.

Using scare quotes around the word “victims” just because of you don’t approve of their sexual practices is simply slut-shaming. It’s jarring to see it in a roundup that also includes sympathetic references to two revenge porn victims. Either you’re pro-slut-shaming or you’re anti. Pick one.

The scare quotes around victims are kind of shitty. Just because these people were cheaters doesn’t mean it doesn’t suck to have your identity stolen.

Came down here to say this. Is Jezebel a shitty rag in the corner of the internet or is it a respectable female led publication?

Yeah regardless of how skeevy the service, if it promised privacy and they paid, they are entitled to it.

“Victims” in quotation marks?

Is “victims” in scare quotes for accuracy’s sake or are you suggesting that they’re not victims?
