Eh, typical example of the power dynamics in play. "I can take your stuff and do whatever I want with it, but you cannot say anything about it."

Damn capitalism! Wait, what?

To many, Black folks really only deserve respect when we either labor and create shit that can be swiftly taken and mindlessly consumed for value and entertainment, as has been the case since the Slave Trade

Nothing says "the Slave Trade" like respecting Black people for producing mindlessly consumed entertainment.

There's a massive plot twist though

https://twitter.com/transscribe/status/1640409630596579343

NASHVILLE SCHOOL SHOOTING
- Private Christian school
- Preschool through 6th grade
- Woman opened fire on 2nd floor
- Armed with 2 rifles and pistol
- 7 confirmed dead in total
- 3 kids, 3 adults, 1 suspect
- Suspect believed to be teenager
- Motive unknown

"No one has said the shooter is trans, but I bet you they try to say it!"

"Aren't you the one who is fuelling the rumours by saying this?"

"See! See! This is exactly what I'm talking about. Transphobes are everywhere now on Elongated Muskrat's Twatter!"

These people are eternal narcissists. Everything has to revolve around them. Even school shootings, apparently.

Well, they're in luck. The shooter is identified as 28 year-old Audrey Hale, a former student & biological female identifying as a transgender male.

Please tell me they were hopped up on homegrown bathtub hormone therapy. Please!!!

six people murdered and all they can think about is what a rich lady who doesn't even hate trans people is going to post on twitter later

Maybe the shooter should have considered the impact on the transgender community and people who read right-wingers online before they decided to shoot up a school.

[Boredfrom]

maybe we should update the thread title? or do we need more confirmation? i don't know if the news will switch over to identifying them by their preferred name/gender or what

I just can't say I'd be surprised if this was in part due to the mental stress currently being put on transgender people around the country right now.

your armchair speculation that being trans contributed to killing kids is helping no one.

As a Muslim, I've seen this before. When it's someone they don't like, it's their identity that caused the shooting/violence.

If it's a straight white cis guy, then it's time to tell their life story to sympathize with the circumstances that brought them to commit such an act.

Oh, and it's never the guns.

WTF is going on here?

Can someone please answer James's question?

[Boredfrom]

This dude keeps going:

It doesn't really make much sense to me that Avellone would sue for defamation and then settle where he pays the people he sued 7 figures. Yes, technically they don't say who gets the money but it seems pretty obvious

It's not straightforward, but it makes sense when looking at his lawsuit as non-serious and a SLAPP, which lawyers looking at it have judged so previously. And because of that he perhaps settled very early before his stated goal was reached (of getting discovery). The settlement provided something a court cannot compel, which is the defendants making a statement that clears his name (or as I've argued, appears to clear his name at least) and preventing the defendants from sharing statements of opinion of him in the future. Not saying who the payment would be part of the PR of the settlement agreement, as payment to the defendants would take the wind out of sails of the people calling him exonerated.

For the record, I think it most likely that the 7 figures clause is payment to Avellone in the case of the defendants disparaging him in the future, or similar. Which basically means it isn't expected to be given. The remainder of the agreement Avellone gets his attorneys fees "back" from the california case (if he had already paid them), gets his PR statement, and the defendants at least get to wash their hands of it all. It would also explain how Kain made the leap to this being payment toward Avellone, missing that it may have been under an unlikely condition (without assuming extreme incompetency or malice on the part of Kain).

 

Keep moving the goal posts because nobody is believing him. I wonder who alt account it is…

[Boredfrom]

WTF are you talking about? They are going to get black listed by the video game industry and their names are going to get dragged in the mud. Logic says that they didn’t have another option than choose the settlement (paying Avellone) because they were going to lose hard in court.

Cases like these are hard to look at subjectively because you want to believe victims when they come forward, but you also want to prevent false accusations. I am not sure in this case which is true now.. they stated he did it, lost, and now state he didn’t do it.

In all the cases I’ve read about over the years, there’s only 1 I can think of that was actually a false allegation.  I think it’s time we just take these women at their word and stop worrying about false allegations as a knee jerk reaction.

This may have been false (they didn’t lose, they quit) but I still don’t see it as “cancel culture” run amok. We live in a place where R. Kelly literally peed on a child, everyone saw it, and he still had a career for 20 more years. I’ll take today over the past. Looking for a 100% perfect system just ensures the status-quo maintains which is what these guys want.

If dudes complained 1% as hard about out and proud rapists as much as cancel culture than cancel culture would have never been necessary.

They did not lose, they settled, which leads me to believe that there is either Ironclad evidence that they both were lying, or there are some serious shenanigans going on with the settlement, which sounds like it’s under NDA —Except for the fact that it’s somehow OK for Avellone and his reporter friend to talk about it, which leads me to suspect shenanigans.

So is Roland also supposedly innocent? I don't even want to open any articles or videos about him given the click bait and his fan base.

No. The case just didn't have enough evidence to go forward. Nothing proved his innocence. He's taking a case dismissal and using it as being declared innocent.

Correct, and for everyone saying, "Its been 6 years!", no it hasn't. Yes, in calendar time it has been but you have to consider that given the way the DOJ operated under Trump (especially once Bill Barr joined) that Biden's inauguration was basically day 0 for a lot of these cases.

Things like this shouldn't happen to kids. Shootings are never okay and gun control needs to be enacted for everybody. I thought the same thing the rest of you did when I read about the shooter's identity. I'm glad they can't hurt anyone anymore, but I just can't say I'd be surprised if this was in part due to the mental stress currently being put on transgender people around the country right now. The GOP is trying to push these kinds of outcomes, which we all know is part of the fascist playbook. And its not like the care about the people getting killed as a result.

And here I thought there could not possibly be any excuse for a 30 year old to go shoot up a children's school.  It was the fascism all along.

The fascist playbook is to put mental stress on people who in turn committ crimes which lead to an armed uprising by said group? That seems like an awfully roundabout way if you ask me.

However, it seems a little dishonest to frame this as "James Gunn and his crew" and for this video to claim that James Gunn was the center of the show, as it does in the first few minutes. He was one of three hosts/judges and didn't return for the second season.

The settlement agreement arrested the court litigation before it even began, the statement accompanying it clarified that the defendants do not accuse him of things they never accused him of.

All that's concrete we have is the initial accusations, and Avellone's filings/writings that he insists (and fans insist) prove his innocence, but they do not.

It feels like you’re being too pedantic, focusing so much on technicality and dancing around what happened with this case. It’s getting pretty tiring to observe. If Chris claims it so, then it’s probably so even if it‘s not 100% confirmed in a lawful way or how a settlement is supposed to be carried out. It would be crazy if he were to lie about it now.

Countdown to "It's highly likely that the 7 figure payment is being paid to a corporation called Chris Avellone which is owned by the defendants this is very common in these sorts of cases and the statement does not specifically say it's a person" or "the 7 figure sum could be negative, ordinarily statements like this will specify that it's a positive amount being paid.  It's very telling that they haven't specified.."

Seeing media coverage describing the motive of this shooting as "resentment", without discussing that the church attached to the school has a history of sexual abuse and cover ups is pretty surprising.

https://www.courthousenews.com/church-accused-of-covering-for-molester/

Timeline totally matches up that the shooter would have been a child during that time (and it would have been people in their peer/age group targeted by the abuser).

Obviously none of that would absolve the shooter of the heinous crimes, but why is the media pretending that's not part of the story?

The very goddamn textbook of victim blaming right there. “But the school,was no angel!”
