It's not any of those things. It's about portrayal. We didn't have statistics to guide our fear before, and we don't have them to guide redemption from it. Perception of danger from gay bashing is all about how many people like YOU go around telling gay men they better be afraid of gay bashing. It's from how many tv…

This fear mongering doesn't work here anymore. Gay men don't walk around terrified of gay bashing anymore

We're not on your team.

Grindr gets more specific because men are not constantly afraid of bodily harm from strangers. That is something women are conditioned to feel all the time.

Oh well if "some reported" it, then it must be true

Except the resources it would use.

Hmmmm...

I think scaremongering is not as effective a tool for controlling gay men as it used to be. Maybe the issue here is that the creator's response to "But what if a homophobic person comes looking for you!" is probably "Come at me bro".

Men aren't particularly vulnerable to vague what if scenarios on their safety.…

This security flaw is not going to cost anyone their life.

I believe this story

I will continue to have little sympathy for people who complain about free software they don't have to use.

"You look so tan for a white person!"

"I'm not a white person"

"Well congratz on looking like a tan one! HAHA"

The screen I stare at all day is the surface of my eyes brah

"It is outrageous hilarious when a single unelected and unaccountable federal judge can overturn the will of millions of Alabamians who stand in firm support of the Sanctity of Marriage Act,"

Well, this is what happens when you make yourself known as an artist purely by hating on a different artist.

I have conservative relatives telling me that "rape isn't a bit deal... it's just a 17 year old wanting to sleep with an older man" because they are thinking of one narrow definition of rape they are terrible misogynist assholes.

On the other, does it have to be done in this voyeuristic, poverty tourism way?
No.

Why couldn't we just do a documentary about the women of Cambodia?
Who is we? Did you somehow participate in this documentary?

Why do we need the hook of pretty (and yes, white) fashion bloggers to care?
Racism.

Do the conditions only…

You can't ban religion. It's intrinsic to human nature. It's a result of being forced to make decisions based on incomplete information with limited time and limited resources.

too real. TOO REAL

That's like a literal nightmare.

Xena would do it. Hell, Gabrielle would do it even when she was a pacifist. She'd see Xena getting crucified and be like, "Hang in there Xena. I will be there right after I beat the crap out of these anti-abortion protesters."

Disclaimer: I feel irreverent joking about that scene. It's so powerful.
