Popular opinion in Western Europe seems to be that Knox did it/was at least somehow involved. I really don’t see Italian law enforcement being that shrewd and calculating. I can buy their incompetence in handling evidence, but I have a hard time even understanding the logistics of what you’re saying. Where did they…

Well apathy in the face of this kind of traumatic event is pretty horrifying, so I don’t get how that’s much better than calling it victim blaming.

I’m not sure I understand; do you think law enforcement might’ve planted Guede’s DNA at the scene? Doesn’t seem necessary if they already had suspects.

Its a fair question, but Rafael and Amanda having DNA transference makes sense to the extent that the three shared common spaces. It’s hard to understand how Guede’s DNA could’ve gotten all over her room (and the bathroom, I think) purely through transference/bad handling unless he had in fact been there. Didn’t he…

I know this is deeply cynical, but I don’t get how we’re ever going to fix this. “Consent” is not a difficult concept, and no amount of youtube videos or cute infographics is going to make men start to respect bodily autonomy.

How did she essentially force him into this situation? She honestly expressed her feelings on marriage and he decided their relationship was more important than his personal views on marriage. She didn’t give him an ultimatum or demand a ring.. I don’t think it’s fair to suggest their marriage is going to breed…

I’m assuming constitutional rights = due process; that it may mean no impartial/unaware jury would be available. That even if the footage isn’t clear people will make up their minds before trial can even happen.

When I was young I fantasized about winning an Oscar. Now, as an adult, I fantasize about getting a MacArthur grant. So I’m still a delusional weirdo but I think my dream has matured somewhat

It was not a particularly funny joke, but it was absolutely a joke

Prosecutors want to put “the bad guys” in prison, they often don’t give a fuck about victims. Ultimately their legal obligation is to the state, not to the victim.

Didn’t he like, write that movie? And wasn’t that scene a joke? I get where you’re coming from but it’s not analogous for a male interview to joke about a random sex scene a female actress was in

• Margot Robbie wants to steal Cara Delevingne from St. Vincent.

LA is definitely blue, and bigger than SF!

Nothing about Piney leads me to think he’s an “unhygienic dweeb.” This story has nothing to do with that one

The DV arrest was 2 years ago. If they really gave a shit they would've canned her before she stopped being useful. There is no reason to believe they're taking some big stand against DV for firing her now.

Agreed!! So stunning.

Wow, what a gross and dismissive thing to say? Yeah, lots of people have had “very bad experiences” with pornography. Victims of child sex abuse are often shown pornography as part of their grooming. And a lot of porn, while consensual, can look really fucking rough and that can be tough to look at, even for people…

I hate to keep harping on this,

My mom overcorrected and explained it to me as “people who prefer spending time with the same gender,” so in 3rd grade my girl friends and I all thought we were gay for a few weeks. Because boys were gross. Turns out I really was gay, but that took some further clarification!!
