Yeeeah, no. Random out-of-context photos taken at the precise moment when someone had their arm outstretched is not the same thing as ending a speech at the RNC by turning towards the image of your Overlord, actually doing the salute, and then awkwardly transition into a wave that you would have just done to begin…

The Asian woman, in particular! Fancy that!

dad?

Do you think white men have this same concern? Because a white man being picked for something like his class/race (where he went to school, family or social connections) is much more likely that your being a mediocre writer and getting one of the most prestigious comedy writing gigs available.

I’m going to assume you’re not trolling and -politely- explain to you why this is NOT a ‘good person’ making a ‘mistake’. ...in numbered list form:

Do you know any generally good people you could see doing this?

A good person wouldn’t have made this “mistake”.

She’s not any different from creeps taking upskirt pictures of women who are not aware that they are being photographed.

I think he’s like anyone person who just discovered these social movements. I’m sure many of us were pretty insufferable when we discovered certain causes. Besides, we should always try to embrace men, even young ones..heck, specifically young ones... to have a knee jerk reaction that a teenager is a future groper as…

I don’t think taking nude photos of people non-consensually, in order to shame them or otherwise, is the best way to address any situation ever. But I suppose that’s irrelevant to how saintly and truly kind this woman you insist must be, despite the behavior she is exhibiting and what that says about her character.…

This is not a mistake. She broke the law doing a very nasty cruel thing to a woman at her gym. That’s straight up gross.

Good people don’t make “mistakes” like that. It was very malevoleant, cruel, and intentional.

Is the “mistake” in this place showering in a place where some privacy is expected? Struggling to see who’s the mistake-making “good people” in this case...

You do realize there are actual issues at hand in the world, yes? Women who struggle for legitimacy in academia or the business world or just to get by on a day to day basis, who do not look like Natalie Portman, who do not have 1 millionth of her cash, who do not make stupid movies (fuck off Black Swan) or have their…

Thank you for saying that. I’ve been terribly disappointed to see so many “What did she expect?” and “LOL, karma!” comments about this case. Much more so on Gawker than here, but disappointing none the less. The way I see it is a victim is a victim, regardless of their worldview or occupation.

If they’re afraid to come forward, I can understand why. They’ve got careers to protect and there’s very little doubt that this isn’t going to a clean civil affair where everybody respects everyone else’s personal space. I see a lot of character assassination for anyone who comes forth. I may not like Carlson as a…

Do you seriously think I’m unaware of the “shouting fire in a public theatre” line? You realize there’s a lot of case law specifying the contours of the First Amendment, so your subjective judgment of what’s kind of like shouting fire in a public theatre isn’t really dispositive.

Actually I would give her better than even odds to win on the First Amendment point, it’s not clear to me what exception this speech would fall under. It’s not a threat, or solicitation, or fraud, or obscenity. I guess it’s almost like incitement, but not really. Did you have specific precedents in mind? Or did you…

I’ve lived with depression for a very long time, I’m not sure how long I’ve had it. It’s always been lurking in the back rooms of my mind. I had an on again off again boyfriend as a teen who used to do things like this to me he would have the same look on his face when he apologized everytime. I may not know this girl…

Sari Koshetz of TSA released a statement alluding to the incident: “Passengers can call ahead of time to learn more about the screening process for their particular needs or medical situation.”
