Hey Esther, did you mean his Wang pic?

She gives a clear explanation of what exactly her experience was in that moment and Splinter blithely writes it off as a “predictable” defense. If that’s not bullshit silencing of a woman’s voice because it’s not saying what you want it to say, then nothing is.

Yes, that is creepy, though one of the photos people are focusing on, and one of the defenses Splinter is attempting to shoot down here, has had the “creeper” moniker applied to it adamantly rejected by the woman in the photo.

quote: “There’s Something About Mary, a movie whose most famous laugh line revolves around a woman unknowingly smearing cum in her hair, which was played as hilarious rather than the creepy violation that it would be in reality” 
Oh my goodness.
Did your pearls crack as you typed those words? The horror of dirty comedy,…

Really? That’s your question?? Out of this whole entire clusterfuck of a mess, you toss out a whatabout?? FOH.

I, too, would never be brave enough to stage a fake hate crime, file a false police report, and re-victimize every real victim by making it that much harder to be believed in the future.

This dude just hurt the causes he was trying to promote by being a total moron.

Those incidents never go beyond the call for service. There are no laws against calling in about perceived criminal activity (no matter how bogus) or a “suspicious” person (no matter how racially biased). Doing so might stifle legitimate calls from being placed. And, some of those calls are actually not illegal. If…

Different jurisdictions and those idiots just called and wasted a cop’s time for a few min. He faked an actual attack and filled out actual legal paper work (or had it filled out for him) saying he was the victim of a hate crime. Kinda apples and oranges here.

“I would never be brave enough to do what Jussie did. He put his personal freedom at stake and shined a light into some dark corners that need cleaning. In a way, I’m proud of him. Because it doesn’t necessarily matter that this event didn’t happen. It matters that it could happen. That’s the real issue here. So good…

He turned himself in. Turns out being an asshole nosy neighbor isn't illegal.

Well, it didn’t take long for his apologists to slither out into the light.

That’s some free-range sense you’re talking there. You’re gonna get run out of here on rails.

I agree with this statement

If the timeline adds up and the text messages happened after the alleged assault, it’s hard to believe the accuser. Lots of ‘yays’, hearts, smileys and meeting for a coffee. It’s easy to claim that this is how a traumatized victim might react, but at some point, exculpatory evidence has to be considered.

This one’s a bit more of a stretch than other examples (still not a good idea, so I agree with Kim Crayton), but they should be pulled at minimum for being so goddamn hideous.

I saw the black face reference in the Gucci sweater, I don’t see it here. I’ve never been into evil eye or lip print styles, but this strikes me more as a design in that style than something that could be considered mockery.

I thought the Gucci sweater was an easy call, but I’m just not seeing this as at all reminiscent of blackface minstrelry.

To me, by far the best moments of the night were Dolly and Brandi Carlile.

So tired of everyone ignoring that Brandi Carlile a) killed it, and b) is openly gay. Her song was better than most of the nominees, too (though I would have given Cardi Record of the Year, because hers was a quality bop with mass appeal).
