“but also that they didn’t do it to themselves (absurd).”

What benefits have I reaped? What benefits are there to reap on the pro side actually? Universal hatred and harassment from people ostensibly against hate speech? I have gained nothing at all, nor shall I. I have neither harassed (nor vilified an entire movement) nor have I been harassed and I intend to keep my end of…

Such remarkable predjudice against people you have never met. I’m going to leave you to your cesspool of hatred now. Its clear now you are the grand arbiter of souls, you know and see all. God forbid anyone disagrees with you, the FIENDS!!!!.

Volumes of what? Please enlighten me. I’m curious and somewhat confused as to how pacifism is suddenly suspicious and warrants veiled accusations of racism on Jezebel...

Don’t misunderstand me. I’m not telling you how to do anything, I’m just saying there’s a difference between rioting and a protest and I wouldn’t want my kid risking his life in a riot either. And whether it’sBaltimore or the London or Paris riots, while the anger and frustration is more than justified and I…

Kinda difficult with the rioting distracting public attention. It’s not fair and I agree the media should be responsible in how it covers these events and yes, I understand the frustration that led up to it but there’s nothing like violent rioting to derail a conversation and kill the public’s sympathy.

Can someone please give writers at Jezebel a dictionary, so that they can learn the difference between peaceful protesting and violent protesting/rioting? Because one is an acceptable way of voicing dissent and the other is a criminal act.

What they did is fucked up, but the twisting of language is crucial here. Words matter, and throwing “assault” at a picture is a stupid and insidious way to phrase it

So if a movie shoots b-roll of people walking on the street or a news crew shoots crowd footage of a high enough quality in which people may be recognizable, they have to get the permission of every single person in the shot?

Its similar to how most of us are against child abuse and were it to be occurring in public, we would put a stop to it. But if its not directly in our face, we can rationalize the clear signs away so we don't have to respond or acknowledge it.

Here's a good summary of American Christian "victimization" and their "non-discrimination"

77 of which will be entirely nothing but dialogue and banter.

I agree, but I don't see any parts where this particular author is doing that! The closest thing she does to putting polyamory on a pedestal is giving a brief summary of Sex at Dawn; other than that, her message seems to be, "I found a relationship model that makes me happy, and I hope y'all do the same, whatever that…

If you keep saying "I won't buy a PS4 just for one game" every time a game comes out that you want to play, then you're never going to own a PS4 or those games.

Final Fantasy Type-0 is not a great game. It's too rough, too messy, too bad at coherent story-telling to live up to the standards set by Final Fantasys of old. But it's a very good game, with satisfying, challenging combat, a lovely soundtrack, and a healthy dose of that Final Fantasy vibe we haven't seen in a…

Are you fucking insane? Can't you see the imbalance between the two crimes and the consequences they have for the victims? Her life will be temporarily affected, his life is severely damaged. Do you honestly believe that everybody with a leaked sex tape on the internet will live in permanent shame , hiding from the…

It actually bothers me that I am not bothered by the retribution. Because I know its wrong. It is always wrong. I will not condone what this girl did. But I am not outraged by it either. And that is not a good thing. I have been so jaded by the countless acts of sexual violence towards women and the lack of justice…
