You let the kids out of the room first, though, right?

The truth will set you free, Sparkle.

Dumb call on their part, then. There was nothing discriminatory about the case at all.

I'm actually kind of surprised at this. Seemed like Nungesser had a pretty strong case. I don't know why they tried to go with "gender-based harassment" instead of just plain old "harassment", though. Sulkowicz didn't accuse him because he was a boy, she accused him because he was a (supposed)...

Can banned people even access the Rickshaw?

Dude, I'm the only one here with a neutral viewpoint.

No need. I'm covered in hair from head to toe, my deep, booming voice carries for miles, and you can hang a wet fur coat on my erection.

Well you guys certainly obsess enough over it.

Saw Deadpool on Tuesday. Very enjoyable movie. Would definitely watch again.

Pretty much how I feel. Bridesmaids was plenty funny. I'm still curious about this one but the trailer wasn't funny at all. A lot of trailers for comedies ruin the movie by spoiling the best jokes, but when they can't even find any decent ones for the trailer it's not very encouraging.

Holy shit, that was a Simpsons skit brought to life. Awesome. Oblig:

Dude, I was kidding. I responded to "It's not the best place in the world" with "It's just better than all the other places." The winters alone have proven to me many times over that I don't live in the best place in the world. The language police are ridiculous and we're taxed out the ass. I...

Nah, it's just better than all the other places.

I loved Retro City Rampage. Highly recommended if the ideo of an NES-style GTA game with tons of pop culture references appeals to you.

Wait... That was you?

Doesn't seem like anything needs to be changed to me.

*sigh* That's pretty dishonest of you, Lith. Whether Feminists Canada was talking "about" (tm) Ghomeshi's trial is a red herring and completely irrelevant. So is what the accusers said to each other, since we weren't talking about them. The Tweets you linked contain none of the elements...

Then we're done. I provided facts, you provided feels, and we've reached a standstill. I highly doubt there's anything more to be gained by pursuing this further. Thank you for (mostly) treating this like an actual discussion.

Hey, me too! Bros?

Yeah, we're not doing this again. Has nothing to do with my point anyway. No, it's not safe to assume anything. You don't have magical white guy powers that allow to know how people are supposed to react after sexual assault. Has nothing to do with my point anyway. Yes, I have. That's been...

Completely irrelevant to my point, but it's because what they're rallying against is people jumping to conclusions about them "lying" based on subjective, narrative-pushing interpretation. Sulkowicz is a great example. It's still entirely possible she actually was raped, but people who like to...

No, it doesn't. Their whole fucking narrative is about encouraging victims to come forward. Their whole schtick is supporting victims of sexual assault. If you're trying to say that a consequence of this support is putting innocent people in jail, you're still wrong about "lynch mob mentality"...

Yeah, they're saying "Fuck proof! We believe you!" not "Fuck proof! Throw him in jail!". There IS a difference. Why are you assuming to know the intents and goals of people who don't express the intents and goals you ascribe to them? Seems pretty presumptuous and self-serving to me. "Sure...

No, it's not, not any more than believing Cosby is innocent until proven guilty is an endorsement of rape, or believing Sarkeesian is a scam artist makes you pro-censorship. Your conclusion doesn't follow from your premise. "We know it's difficult for victims to come forward. We believe you!"...

Hodj gonna Tanoomba.

No, I'm not. I honestly don't know how I could be more explicit about that. If you think I'm being "cunty" it's because people draw incorrect conclusions from my words instead of you know, actually reading my words. "Mob mentality" (AKA "group think") =/= "Lynch mob mentality". We see mob...

No, the context of the Tweets is that some people believe it is far too difficult for women to come forward about being sexually assaulted. You can agree or disagree, I don't give a shit. The people that believe this are attempting to counter the challenges faced by victims of sexual assault by...

Wario Land was awesome, tho.

Woosh.

K.

Your statement about whatIwant was made up bullshit. I even went out of my way to point out that I neither defend nor endorse what these feminists are doing, but simply take issue with bullshit equivalences. Shame on you.

If it makes you feel any better, Hodj, you are free to usemy threadfor venting purposes, I don't mind.

Citation definitely needed.

I'm just giving you the perspective of Feminist Canada. As far as they're concerned, too many women are afraid of speaking out about their assault because of what that puts them through. Since they believe false claims of sexual assault are minimal, they're ready to make a blanket statement and...

First of all, a hearty and sincere "Thank you" for arguing like a rational human being. I would give you a cookie for this delightful accomplishment if I could. You're missing the point, though. Your argument was that "most feminists" (whatever that means) demonstrate "the mind set that lead...
