Yup. I think so many people are building their identities around being right or correct or however you want to put it (‘cause not everyone that thinks they’re right is right. See: this year’s POTUS) that even well intentioned disagreement triggers a fight or flight response. And nobody’s flying.

I think people just like what’s easy and it’s so much easier to reduce and reduce until all we’re left with is burned bits of argument that leave a bitter taste.

It seems like Weiss only does “research” on social media and totally disregards actual reporting. The only way that you could possibly conclude that “believe women” means “believe all women all the time kill the men especially the innocent” is if you exclusively troll twitter, facebook, instagram and the comments on…

Are we supposed to be surprised that a director is obsessed with the film they created? Are we supposed to be outraged that the director wouldn’t shut up when speaking with his girlfriend/star of the film? I don’t get why this exists.

Armie Hammer is just Ann from Arrested Development reincarnated as a generic handsome dude.

But crowdsourcing information about predatory criminals is going so well for us!*

MA-MA-MA-MAXIUM EDGELORD. kek.

For real. There are many other prominent outlets that they could’ve tried this BS on that aren’t as well known for their journalistic rigor but, nope, these idiots went right for the Post.

This whole thing is great. Its nice to see basic journalism being so widely celebrated (and total incompetence knocked down.) I can’t believe they went for the Washington Post. It would’ve been so much better to target a more hyperactive organization less concerned with reporting and more concerned with shouting (like…

I’ve typed and deleted like four comments so far. I don’t even know how to express this man’s stupidity and insensitivity. For a while I thought he was intentionally stoking anger. For a while i thought he was a clueless old man. I’m back to my original thought, back from when he hosted the Apprentice: He just fucking…

So when’s she getting hired by Univision?

“For so many reasons we’ve come to a place where activism is now about personal, not social, benefit.”

This is trolling, right? You can’t possibly have published an article on DV that so completely plays into the stereotypes trolls and disingenuous critics spread about this website?

Right? If a family member reached out it would be a little different for me (no sense rubbing salt in the wound) but the buttpipes on twitter masturbating into the ether is so dumb.

I wish they would’ve doubled down and kept the donuts. I’m not usually one to be so unsympathetic but the folks on twitter who are upset on behalf of other people (who have seen Manson portrayed as a pop culture figure for half a century) really chap my ass.

So this is a hotline for people who really want to stand up to their families but can’t be bothered to plan ahead? Or is it for people who are so easily flustered/enraged that they need an automated guide to walk them through their argument?

that kid was clearly driven in from bucks county

Oh gotcha. That all makes sense to me and I totally agree. And, reading that you’re involved in the BDSM community, I totally get why and how I misread some of your original post.

Representation matters, even when you’re being represented on something incredibly dumb!

I really struggle with this because I believe that the power difference between dudes and women can make a request a “power play” but carried to its conclusion means that consent is impossible. I don’t think that’s what the commenter I was replying to meant so I was hoping she/he’d respond and share some thoughts.
