Quaid: "Complains a poster is arguing semantics.
Argues semantics.
That's our Tanoomba!"
Say Quaid, do you think Gawker would consider either the Fappening OR the Hulk sex tape "hate speech"? (I'm sorry, I know I present you with these not-really-ultimatums once in a while, but it's because I believe you to be honest...)
Lith: "Article originally discussed disagrees with you."
Ummm... How so? Gawker doesn't allow hate speech in any way, shape or form, far as I know. The only reason why "Reddit" is a fairly recognizable word at all is because they went a long time pretty much letting anybody say whatever they wanted. Your "gotcha!" is based on your fairly ridiculous interpretation of an otherwise straightforward article and the mental gymnastics you've put that through in order to come up with what you consider "hypocrisy".
Real talk here: If you give people a forum to say whatever they want, you're going to get people saying some really terrible things. Terrible people will seek out and exploit any opportunity to be as terrible as they can be. Somehow (somehow?) you've decided that pointing out this fact is an act of hypocrisy because the person pointing this out did so on the same site in which another person referred to viewing hacked nude pictures of celebrities an act of "sexual violence".
Your entire argument is based on the fact that you consider the Hulk sex tape to be "hate speech". I think that's fairly ridiculous, and I have no doubt ANY of the writers/administration at Gawker would think the same (as well as the majority of readers who aren't looking for "gotchas" to push their agenda). You THINK you've got them (as if there was a "them" and not just some person writing an opinion piece) admitting as much, but that's because you're intentionally misinterpreting what some writer said about an unrelated topic in order to score points for your "side".
Also, you don't quite seem to understand what "hate" means. What would make you think sexual violence is based on hate? The author of the article used the term "sexual violence" because people were exploiting private sexual images without consent of the people involved. "Hate" is not a part of that equation, and you're the only person trying to imply that it is. I only confronted you about this in the first place because it seemed like a pretty strong example of confirmation bias, and everything you've said since has only confirmed that.
Lith: "If you don't cone sent and the photos are release? It is a sexual violation, and she states, quite clearly, it is revenge porn and it is an act of sexual violence against women to even look at it. But for Tan, she didn't say that...because reasons. hah. He really is amusing sometimes, he does try so hard."
Ummm... is there any reason you're conveniently ignoring that I gave you that point? I figured that what she said could be interpreted by the layman as equating the Fappening to revenge porn. If you weren't so obsessed with looking for opportunities to snark up the board, you might have noticed that (you know, since I explicitly stated it and all). Take a deep breath, detach yourself from your biases and your deep-rooted need to feel superior to others, and try again... with less snark, perhaps.
