The point is, obviously, that sending a seizure-inducing gif to a person with epilepsy is a physical assault, causing real-time, physical harm. But you know that...

What’s your point exactly? Sending someone something intended to harm them is sending someone to harm them. What difference does it make what medium you use?

...But nobody is arguing differently? I haven’t seen anybody here argue that women who are harassed shouldn’t be taken seriously. You’re arguing a point nobody disputed. I did point out that legally, Quinn and Eichenwald are regarded as different because his case would be classified as an actual assault, whereas her’s…

No, but I do think the article minimized the seriousness of what occurred. A seizure can be fatal, given the right circumstances (one of the primary killers of epileptics is falls they sustain when they’re triggered). What happened to this man is very, very serious and the person who did it deserves to be arrested.…

It is when you’ve got an agenda to make him look shitty in the comments of a story in which he was physically attacked and his assailant, arrested.

Yeah, I’m disappointed too. It’s not a zero-sum game. We can (and should) be glad that Eichenwald is seeing justice for the assault perpetrated against him AND also want the Gamergate asshole meninists who perpetrate online assaults against women to receive the same justice.

“What [this person] did with his Twitter message was no different from someone sending a bomb in the mail”

This headline is so misleading and it’s so, so shameful of you to frame the situation like this. The GIF caused him a seizure. He’s epileptic. Yes, that is assault when you do something with the intent of hurting someone else, whether it’s just a GIF. That troll put him in danger knowingly. Epileptic seizures are…

Why is it when female artist show us their lives through their art they are drama queens?

If Jay Z has had the extramarital affairs that Lemonade suggests, he’s a bad person! He’s done bad things! But the lyrics also allude to the cultural and generational scars that played a part in his infidelity. This is the story that plays out over and over again: a husband cheats, a woman still loves him, and they…

Will cosign, especially having experienced it all too often in gay male spaces when “drama” is tacked onto a whole host of other misogynistic/effemophobic dog-whistles by paranoid gay men seeking to assert their (fragile) masculinity.

People aren’t light switches. They aren’t either on or off. Rachel Roy can do a shitty thing and still have positive attributes. What we’re criticizing here is her immature response to someone’s profoundly personal art—art that does not name Rachel Roy. I don’t know what you’ve been reading, but from my computer…

I mean you can. But I think it wouldn’t really be fair.

Is it drama if it’s Beyoncé singing about her life? She annon’d her. No one had to know or even know it was autobiographical but Roy is so thirsty she wants it known it’s her. That’s where the drama is.

Of course you can be! But equating them is a little bit unfair. Beyonce was in a marriage: she didn’t involve “herself” in this infidelity drama, she is expressing what happened to her marriage.

Here is another perspective of the visual

Everything. Every one. All of them.

I am not calm

Fuck conscious uncoupling, this is how you do it.
