Can someone explain to me (in words that don’t sound like euphemisms for a white woman with a black guy) what’s so odd about two musical entertainers having enough in common to enjoy each other’s company?

I guess I’m missing how that’s her fault, or what exactly else she was supposed to do, especially according to your own standards. Your OP made it seem like she never reported it to the police, and not only did she report it to the police, she secured a fucking confession. What exactly do you want from her? Isn’t it …

She did go to the police. She went to the FBI, and even made recordings for them in which he talked about how much he liked fucking girls, admitted to having raped girls, and asked her to install a webcam in her daughters’ room so he could watch them. They had a fucking admission on tape and decided they couldn’t…

Somehow I fear victims, both male and female [this is for specificity, not trying to mis-gender anyone] will have an even harder time coming forward.

There seems to be this Twitter version where Amber is lying simply because her “story” doesn’t match other people’s experiences. Abuse comes in so many forms and no two are exactly alike. Maybe an individual who abuses women has a pattern, but even those victims experience their trauma differently.

Johnny: My career and reputation is ruined!

I’m not up on twitter rules etc but this post seems like praising someone you like for basically shitty behavior, the kind of shitty behavior you’d condemn coming from others.

My point is, why isn’t there equal uproar over the sexist jokes?

I say this as someone who usually enjoys reading your comments: Are you doing ok? You seem to be reading these comments in the worst interpretation possible. Like, I’m not even sure how you got a “contrarian” reading out of mine, It definitely wasn’t intended to be combative.

You’re choosing to misread my words.

to have a surprise  opener that you have to know some of your fan base would be wounded by? Like, if he had an opener that made rape jokes, SA survivors shouldd just suck it up?

To piggyback off of that, several people who attended said they would not have gone if they knew Chapelle was gonna be there. So they weren’t even given the opportunity to avoid going to the show.

The backlash to the backlash of this has been “Well if you’re SO offended don’t go to comedy shows! The joke wasn’t even that bad!”

Your girlfriend killed a snake who was just minding its own business, probably eating things you don’t want in your garden (or house), just because it was there, rather than, you know, just moving it somewhere else? And you’re okay with that because you “don’t like snakes”? What the fuck is wrong with you?

The hell? I expect better from the guy who fucked around on his wife.

Check out a browser extention called uBlock Origin. It makes this site shockingly readable. 

One of the things that stuck with me is when during his presidential campaign, his wife told a story about how they were spending their honeymoon in a cabin and she sends him out to get groceries. He comes back with “nothing but Chunky Soup”. And to this day, I ask myself: is that the closest thing to a likeable anecdo…

I mean, I love funny.  Funny is more important to me than just about anything else.  

“bog leech”!!! I’m dead. You’ve killed me. Filing that one away to use as much as possible when the opportunity arises.

I will say that while I agree they’re both obviously fucked up, I find it a little sickening that it seems like a lot of people and certain media outlets want Heard to be a “perfect victim,” and since she isn’t and clearly has issues, this must mean she is just as bad or deserved it or whatever. I mean, if I was raped…
