THIS. COMMENT.

Why do you dudes love to pretend to be women? No one will answer this for my investigation.

Oh, fuck off with this. If I were getting repeatedly harassed at my workplace, my employer would take measures to ensure the harassers were removed and prevented from returning. I'm not a delicate, wilting flower that needs to be protected, but I'm also not some ragdoll that you get to toss around whenever you feel…

Don't even, dude.

I'll be frank: I've been doing a lot of the behind the scenes complaining about this from my end because that's the only thing I can do. As some of you might know, I started out as a mod and worked my way up. I've seen a lot of shit, even with the old system in place (and not just from one site - I modded all the…

Not to victim-blame or anything, but you guys should know better.

we're not equating the gifs to rape, they are literally gifs OF rape.

I pretty much consistently check GT to see if there is a warning about this troll before hitting the Jezebel mainpage nowadays because I don't need to see disgusting rape gifs in the middle of my day. Like others have said, I've been pretty myopic about the whole thing and I never even thought about the writers…

Thank you guys for addressing this problem. I feel validated as a commenter when you address this problem. I also have always wondered how hard it would be to be a writer here and not only write as many articles as many of you do (Isha writes like what—seven or eight articles on her days) but to also be stuck managing…

Because they are gifs of women being violently sexually assaulted and that is called rape.

No, Nick Denton has left Jezebel and its readers out to dry here. If Nick wanted it to be done, it would have been done already. It's clearly not a priority for him to protect the mental well-being of his staff and readers.

In NO OTHER PROFESSIONAL INDUSTRY is it acceptable to let your workers be subjected to repeated, targeted pornography and violence. I have NEVER worked a job staffed by the kind of people who would stand idly by — it would be one fat lawsuit after another up everyone's asshole and an HR nightmare, to boot.

Jezebel has always attracted far more numerous and vitriolic trolls and harassers than any other GM site. There are a lot of twisted, angry people out there who are particularly enraged when women speak in public. In the star days I would often flit around on Deadspin, Gawker, IO9, and look at their pinks. There were…

First what vast majority people wrote here says what I would say but probably better written. One suggestion I have is on gifs and pictures. Only allow posting gifs and pictures to those who have posting privs on a moderated site. So if they have posting privs on GT or Clashtalk etc they can post pictures and gifs or…

I'd also like to add that burners also create an environment in which many regular commenters/community members are harassed by problem folks. The trolling that happens on the main page also happens on the community sites (groupthink for Jezebel, but I'm sure it happens elsewhere on other kinja blogs) and often takes…

Or they're refusing to address the somewhat unique position a progressive women's website has on the Internet. Women aren't general interests that can be treated like "cars" or "sports."

It's important that Nick Denton also recognize that some of us are reading these sites at work. I can filter which articles I read to avoid "objectionable" content, but I can't control whether the violent porn gifs show up as comments on seemingly innocuous posts. At the end of the day, it may end up costing you…

There are not only "two choices" - there is a third choice, which is keep pushing until Gawker stops abdicating its legal responsibility to keep their workplace from being a hostile work environment for its employees, and if necessary, take the complaint to the EEOC. I fail to see how quitting is the answer. This…

I hope your boss takes this more seriously as it has now escalated to the point where it is both violent and personal. This strikes me as something potentially very serious.
