Seems more like a complaint that everyone interprets comments as negative as possible. How ironic that they then interpret it in the worst way possible.

Also damn, cancel culture is really dear to RedMercury

You have to wonder how homophobic he must be in his personal life if he's willing to be that homophobic publicly.

[I'm a Puppy!]

Twitter was such a mistake. I'm surprised that leftist celebs still use it. It's only a matter of time until you put a toe out of line.

You can't offend other people if you only talk about yourself. Just never talk about anything that matters

He said that "paternal" and "maternal" love are both important ingredients in raising a kid, implying that same sex parenting was incomplete.

I know. But wasn’t that a month ago? Why are they back on this?

[Averon]

The things is you need to be "woke" 24/7, especially when you deal with the blue check marks on Twitter. But no one can be acting "woke" 24/7. People are human. Even the wokest of warriors are going to occasionally "fuck up" and say something that the mob doesn't like. Instead of allowing them to correct themselves on their own, they are immediately "canceled" and brigaded by the mob until they bend the knee and throw out a groveling apology, an apology that will now forever be used against them in the future by the same people that mobbed them in the first place.

[Rahxephon91]

I mean a rational person who doesn’t agree would  see that Terry Crews may just have a limited scope and maybe a bias toward this thing. Perhaps have a dialogue with him that probably won’t change his mind, but maybe make them think.

But of course Ree and Woke Twitter can’t do that.

And you know what. I don’t exactly disagree with him. I love my mom and she’s been a great influence in my life. But I did miss having an actual father. I made peace with it and I don’t think it has really brought me down. But I wouldn’t know otherwise to be honest. Would two mothers have changed things? No because honestly as a male I feel I need a male to relate to and talk about things with. It’s not toxic masculinity or whatever. My mom is very open and a pretty no nonsense person about topics like sex. But as a teen talking about how you have sex with women was not something I’d want to do with my mother.

I kind of think a male role is important. Is it required? No. Is it the optimal thing? I dont know either. I think these conversations are not absolute things.

[stufte]

I hope for a day when people will stop giving in to these offendatrons. Stop apologizing, stop giving them power. Once they lose that power, maybe they'll move on a get a life.

He's an ideologue. He doesn't give a fuck who or what gets hurt in the process of ensuring purity of ideology.
Look at this shit;

Now, after seeing that perspective, what are your thoughts on all this anger in the world? Can you understand that people are trying to change society for the better by refusing to tolerate views contrary to the world we want to create?

Not a trace of self reflection or irony. He's literally going "but isn't it reasonable to let people angry as hell and who refuse to compromise tear down anyone and anything they disagree with?"

the worst part of that section was that they spelled my name wrong

[Potato]

My take was that crews was not talking specifically about biological parents, but more generally about needing positive male and female influences (i.e. love) which is definitely true.

So of course REEE and the rest of the culture warriors decided to misinterpret his words and cancel him.

Fucking idiots.

[Uncle]

I actually had no idea what feeder porn is but google has saved me from a life of ignorance

https://www.salon.com/2010/03/16/fat_fetish_overweight_woman/

Feeders get off on the idea that their feedee might one day become too 'satisfied' -- and too obese -- to move, thus making them completely dependent on their feeder. It's an extreme manifestation of the idea that masculinity in men involves eroticized dominance over women.

 

[Propagandhim]

I think the men who get off on this stuff don't even need the women to be naked -- so the food.  But, then again, without the porn part it's just a TBS reality show.  This is truly the preeminent question of our time.

Hi all. I don't know if this is against the rules but I don't really care at this point. I'm at my wits end.

As some of you may have heard, Venezuela has been hit by nationwide blackouts pretty much the whole month. It's probably still on the news as it hasn't been resolved.

While we strongly sympathize with your predicament, we unfortunately do not allow fundraising threads on the forum. Hang in there.


Not even a suggestion that we all e-mail their embassy?

I would like to contribute to this thread by reposting something I wrote during the allegations David Ballard made against Naughty Dog. I normally would not self-quote like this, but it's a sensitive collection of small stories that I was able to convey most effectively "in the moment." I hope other people find it helpful, especially other men, and that it benefits the mission of this thread.

While it was originally written about workplace harassment, it has broad implications and applications that should suit non-professional contexts as well. These stories are meant to demonstrate how easily harassment can occur, how it perpetuates, and how victims are rarely taken care of. When somebody makes a claim to you, you should believe them, and you should never downplay the severity of the environments people (especially women) must endure every day. Sexual harassment is a culture. It can be counteracted. It requires consciousness.

I have had three experiences that have given me a lot of perspective on sexual harassment.

1. When I was eighteen, I worked as a housekeeper at an upscale inn. I worked seven days a week, but the hours were short, and the pay was incredible. I would work four hours there and make more than I did working eight hours at my other job. The inn was owned by a middle-aged married couple. They were very, very well liked by the community and their guests.

The husband used to follow me around from room to room as I cleaned and reset them. At first it was under the guise of a quality check, but then it was clear he was just hanging around to talk. He would ask me questions about my life and my plans. He would also always ask if I had found any "naughty things" in the suites. This was always his launching pad for a dirty joke or sexual comment. I just laughed with him even though it was never very funny.

Eventually the comments really ramped up. I started to dread when he would darken the doorway. He would stand there, blocking the only exit, and watch me make the beds and clean the sinks and ask me how I knew I wasn't gay. He would tell me "God blessed me with strong intuition" and tell me how gay I was. He would try to get me to come out to him even though I assured him I was not gay. He would call me "young dumb and full of cum" and other gross things. And if I ever seemed upset, he would give me a raise. I just let it happen and kept collecting the paychecks.

Eventually, I asked for a few days off (four months in advance) to go on vacation. He didn't like the idea, he didn't want me to leave, and didn't think it was "fair" my family would plan a trip when they knew I was working. I explained it wasn't a family trip, it was a trip with my girlfriend, and he fired me immediately.

This taught me that you cannot hope sexual harassment will stop and that keeping your head down to keep your job will not last forever. Eventually, something will happen, and you'll always wish you got out sooner.


2. I was 24 and managing a movie theater. There was a girl there who I was really attracted to, and she was very nice to me, and I thought I could leverage that into a date. We were definitely friends, but I wanted to be more than friends, so I started manipulating the schedule to give us more time together.

I would schedule the two of us to work the same nights. I would send other people home so it was just the two of us. I would keep her late so we could talk alone in the office. I don't know if she ever expected anything. I think, to her, we were just good work friends. I started to get frustrated that nothing was happening.

So I started physically putting myself close to her more often. I would follow her around. I would lean against her. I would intentionally try to pass by her and put my hands on her as I did. Finally, one time, I followed her into a small stock room. I stood in the doorway and watched her and knew she wouldn't be able to leave the room without squeezing by me or asking me to move. I wanted her to touch me. So I intentionally blocked her exit.

And as I was doing this, I had a really sickening epiphany that I was doing to her what my boss at the inn used to to. It was like being hit with some kind of dark lightning. It felt like all the flesh had exploded off my bones and all that was left was my hideous naked skeleton. I backed out of the doorway, went to the office, and never bothered her again.

This taught me that people repeat behavior they've seen, even bad behavior, because they do not perceive themselves as being bad. They normalize their own impulses, they rationalize their own actions, and anybody is capable of harassment.


3. When I was 25, I started working in a corporate environment at an extremely progressively-minded company. In my department, there was a man and a woman who used to date. The woman broke it off a year before, and was six months pregnant, and the man refused to let her go.

The man was always telling her how they were meant to be together. How he would wait for her. He would get angry when she talked to other guys in the office in any capacity. He was constantly demanding she explain herself, or tell him what she was doing, and was always leering at her over the desk partition. Not only did it make her work environment hostile, it was extremely uncomfortable for everyone around them who knew what was happening.

One day, he insists the two of them go to lunch together. She goes with him. But he doesn't take her anywhere, and he won't talk to her, and he won't stop the car. She texts me that she is afraid and doesn't know what happening. She is afraid she might be getting kidnapped. I immediately make a dart for Human Resources and tell her I will call the police. But then she texts me not to and says he is turning around. She says she will deal with it when she gets back.

She returns safely, but I still go to HR. I lay it all out. I pull no punches and describe everything that happened, has been happening, and how it affects everyone in the office. The responses I got were maddening.

I was told everything I relayed was hearsay and inadmissible. This kind of report would need to come from one of them and I couldn't make a claim like this on somebody else's behalf.

I was told that since the "kidnapping" occurred during an unpaid lunch break and off of company property, it wasn't a company issue and there was nothing that could be done.

I was told that, since the two of them used to date, I couldn't be sure it was sexual harassment and shouldn't make such bold claims.

This taught me that, even at the best companies, the first instinct of Human Resources is to diminish and downplay the situation to make you doubt its seriousness. They ask how you can be sure, they say there is another side of the story, and they say they are powerless to do anything unless very specific criteria is met. At the end of the day, their job is to make problems go away by taking the path of least resistance. Sometimes this mean justice for the victim and sometimes it means sweeping it under the rug. Whatever can be done most easily and most quietly is what will be done.



These experiences in my life have made me extremely passionate about workplace abuse. I do not stand for it at all. More awareness, more conversation, and more victims coming forward is the best thing that can happen here. Companies need to learn that protecting their employees is the only way to protect their company. They need to be held responsible for what happens under their roofs. Challenge their reputations, make them answer for their failures, and force their hand for change.


That's how I feel.

Wow HR departments won't instantly fire someone on unsubstantiated allegations about a co-worker #latestagecapitalism

[GreatSageEqualOfHeaven]

The bass player for the Mexican rock band Botellita de Jerez appeared to have killed himself Monday, just one day after he was accused of sexually harassing a young woman when she was 13.

The Mexico City prosecutors' office said that while it could not confirm musician Armando Vega-Gil had taken his life, a man's body was found at a Mexico City home. The body was to be identified by Vega-Gil's relatives, who went to prosecutors' offices.

The rock band's Twitter account, however, said: "With grief we announce our colleague Armando Vega-Gil died this morning." It said a wake would be held later Monday.

On Sunday, an anonymous woman posted a complaint on Twitter under the hashtag #MeTooMusicosMexicanos, saying Vega-Gil had sexually harassed her when she was 13 and Vega-Gil was 50. The incident would have taken place 14 years ago, since Vega-Gil gave his age as 64 in his farewell letter.

The woman said she visited Vega-Gil's house with some girlfriends, but felt uncomfortable, and that later he sent her disturbing messages. "He said things that were more and more disgusting and sexually explicit. I decided to block him and change my cellphone."

Not surprising trolls are blaming the accuser and the #metoo movement.

I think that you need to have serious psychological issues to consider suicide after been accused of sexual abuse.

wow someone who killed themselves after anonymous allegations of paedophilic rape wasn't in a good place psychologically, thanks Carl Jung

wow 'trolls' think anonymous allegations made to a public forum might in some part be responsible for that
