The issue is you don't understand the difference between racism and a racist joke. You think because she made an unfunny joke about the AIDS crisis in Africa that makes her a racist, I don't. My friends sometimes make gay jokes, does that mean that they're all horrible homophobes who secretly hate me? We grew up telling Jew jokes and Polak jokes, and Italian jokes and yes, black jokes too and somehow most of us managed not to become horrible racists. She hosed up that she posted it on Twitter without protecting it, but she thought she was talking to her friends because that's the only people she thought were following her. Your smarmy self righteous pearl clutching is despicable worthless garbage that does nothing to address actual racism and the problems it causes and is also the reason people run screaming from leftism these days and terms like Social Justice and feminism have become slurs. But its all about validating your feelings of moral superiority isn't it?

you can actually inflate your scrote pretty safely with sterile saline, syringes, needles, and aseptic technique. its a niche kink iirc

the saline just slowly gets absorbed into your blood but in the meantime you got a big round smooth distended nutsack

if you're being legit then ill say her timeline had a history of ironic jokes that had nothing to do with racism so by just taking 5 minutes to review that would show her "joke" was in the same fashion. so no, i don't think a poor/bad joke without context makes her an immediate racist and she did not deserve all of that bullshit. if anything, she took that poo poo in stride and showed everyone how much better of a person she is than they are because she was able to forgive, let it go, and move on

context matters

also, lot of studies on social media and mob mentality by PhDs in business and sociology all say that justine sacco did nothing wrong besides tweet a poorly worded joke that was taken out of context and that she is clearly not a racist, so there's that

Also the whole "this legitimizes frivolous fund-draining lawsuits" argument ignores that these are done to people who cannot defend against them; without Hogan's case each of those lawsuits would have ended with Thiel paying the defense fees.

So yeah, all this has done is uphold the troubling precedent that you shouldn't gently caress up your court defense out of smug faith in freeman-esque beliefs.
