This was probably taken before the photos were stolen and spread around.

WRT the teeth thing: people don't get that they get a little crooked after braces, anyway! I had braces because my teeth were really bad (overbite, seriously crooked teeth, too many teeth, etc.). It was bad enough that I now joke I could have chewed my own face off if I wasn't careful. If it was just one or two that…

I consider myself reasonably attractive (which I think means I need to be put in my place according to the folks here). I still wouldn't mind looking like her. Honestly, I think she's cute, even if the article did make her attitude look insufferable (and I'm taking the Daily Fail article with a shaker of salt since…

Thanks. I'm going to wake up at 3 AM screaming from that vision popping up in my dream.

And what kills me is that most of the folks who say that crap have never even been to the UK.

A six-year age difference is HUGE when you're sixteen. We are not talking about a 26 year old and a 32 year old. We're talking about someone who is still in high school with someone who is old enough to be out of college and on their own. If a sixteen year old was an adult, they'd have the right to vote and to live on…

He can still be charged with corruption of a minor. 22 is not close enough in age to 16 to reasonably say this was not coercive or that there wasn't a power differential, and you can't cite Romeo and Juliet provisions over this.

I love how a 22 year old fucking a 16 year old is not committing statutory rape, according to Chief Justice Tao Lin. ORLY?? That is the very definition of statutory rape.

Yeah. This is one of those situations where everyone involved needs to step away from the internet, immediately., and shut the fuck up for a day.

Exactly. And it's not a no-brainer for men, either.

I know a lot of guys who dated shitty, terrible girlfriends. Women who slagged them off when they got laid off, who fucked around on them, who put them down, etc.

Yeah, I hated that scene. I thought it was really freaking contrived and that it was sloppy writing. One of the things that made me put the books down for good was the fighting between them. Like, I know they are supposed to be passionate but that stuff is freaking tedious. And the later scene, when he won't take her…

Did she say Claire? Or Jamie?

I kind of liked Frank (before Voyager—I didn't read anything beyond that). He seemed kind of dorky and oh-so-proper but DTF his wife anytime and any way she wanted. Like, you naughty, naughty boy Frank!

If men really can't control themselves, why are *we* the ones who have to restrict our movements? Wearing something sexy, going out at night, or getting drunk aren't crimes punishable by sexual assault. I mean sheesh. If they are truly animals in need of being leashed the way they say they are, they should all be…

Yep. It's not like 4chan doesn't have a history of sock puppeting.

I know. How about "Don't get plowed at your parties, don't have alcohol on offer at your parties, and act like goddamn grownups" for oh, it's own sake? And because even without this spectre of false rape accusations/"real" rape that isn't rape because the bros are animals in need of leashes, drunken party hosts and…

You know what's a real concern for a lot of women? Actually getting raped. And contrary to popular belief, we do not tend to be taken seriously, we are often blamed, and our assailants are almost never held accountable.

Nope. By a PR firm trying to capitalize on the ill-will 4chan's generated with the harassment of Anita Sarkeesian, Zoe Quinn, the violation of women like Jennifer Lawrence, etc.

The thing is, though, posters there then make statements like "*We* like Emma but *we* don't like radical feminists like Anita Sarkeesian" or whatever. I mean, you can't have it both ways. Either 4chan is a group (that has bragged about organizing raids and harassment campaigns) or it's not a group.
