What the hell are you on about, troll?
I find the idea of trigger warnings commendable, but also sort of impossible to maintain in reality. I say this as someone who has PTSD and who has also taught at the college level. My PTSD is from childhood abuse, so my triggers are weird and often very general things that are unavoidable: doors opening suddenly, the…
That’s why I call this lazy administrating on the part of the University and lazy arguments on the part of anyone who is against safe spaces or trigger warnings. It’s as stupid as expelling a kid who makes a toy gun out of a straw in third grade because you have a “zero tolerance” policy against weapons. It’s just…
The point is that safe spaces and trigger warnings are meant to mitigate reverberations of trauma... traumas that the University of Chicago as an institution (amongst many other academic institutions) is guilty of mishandling and generally allowing to occur with impunity. Maybe prove that your an institution that…
No, I know that every generation derides the next, and some days I can just roll my eyes at dumb headlines and say “You cracked it, guys. Millenials are the downfall of society.”
I was just thinking about the fact that with Gawker.com defunct, I’d probably be posting over here a lot more, and I realized I could be part of a flood of dudes who could seriously mess with the gender dynamic in the comments here. I would hate to see the strong female voices that I enjoy so much here driven out…
People just go out of their way to discredit women who have been assaulted, abused, raped... Sure, all victims are in cahoots plotting in some musty basement! Plotting what exactly I don’t know though.
Oh they haven't left her alone. Now they're saying it's just a ploy to save face because it never happened and she's still a gold digging whore. She could literally hand a suitcase of money to an abuse survivor and they'd still think she was lying.
To answer seriously: Nope. But what would be sexist would be to represent men and men’s stories in media way more than women’s. Which is what happens, and why people generally care about this in video games.
Going to create a better standard:
“I was told that my braless breasts could actually cause chaos.”
she was told that visible nipples could “arouse the male guards.”
Pretty much. What Amber has done, is what women are told to do. Document the abuse, try to leave, and go to the police. But too many people want to insist a woman is lying regardless of what proof she has. Far too many people think that if a woman is still alive, then she wasn’t really abused.
He’s a drunk, bloated, mid-life crisis-having abusive asshole. But all people see is the Johnny they had a crush on forever and as usual, they’d rather blame the wife, especially since she’s hot and so much younger than him. Hell, even if she did marry him for his money (and let’s be real here, you know that’s at…
I was just reading some comments about the Depp/Heard story on other sites and I’ve concluded that a video could emerge of Johnny Depp repeatedly punching Amber Heard in the face, and the internet would still declare her to be a gold digger who deserved it.
So fucking depressing.
For releasing of filming for court, etc., it depends on where she taped it.
I can’t believe he told her she should have drowned in the pool and no one is really talking about that. It’s abuse.
You probably didn’t see the footage. It wasn’t one comment. They talked about him over the entirety of the race, often focusing the camera on him and then repeated at least five times that it was all due to him when the race finished. They went into a lot of detail about how a woman (who was already an Olympic…
