Jeong is pretty active in the handling of online harassment and poo poo, not sure if she ever caught it herself but of all the people to still be pissed at those idiots she's probably one of them that's a bit more reasonable to be.

Sarah Jeong is a good reporter but makes bad tweets sometimes. There's a really loving weird history between her and lefty twitter tho. Folks accuse her of things she never did, and harp on every little thing she's done for the past two years. Nothing is fun online anymore.

Didn't the original gamergate guy try to start that poo poo here first and the mods were all "lol get banned loser"? If only we hadn't let that filth drain to the proper cesspools of 8chan and Brietbart, Trump would've never been elected president.

Homework Explainer posted:no it isn't lol Back during the invasion of Crimea and the opening stages of the separatist war in Ukraine, they had a reporter, Simon Ostrovsky, who made daily dispatches from the frontlines, and also filmed extensive evidenceof Russian presence, simply by talking to locals in the affected areas. IIRC he also contributed image evidence to the Brown Moses investigations. It was the only serious English language coverage of Ukraine at that time. So they did at least one thing right. steinrokkan has issued a correction as of 02:30 on Nov 23, 2016 |

I would blow Dane Cook posted:Can you explain Trump's election with Twilight metaphors? Trump is like Jacob, an unlikable, self-obsessed hothead with an attitude issue and a shallow physical lust for America, which he tries to feebly rationalize in his platitudes to her. He is the opposite of Edward, while Edward would keep America hanging for extended periods of time, only appearing at strategic junctures to temporarily reinforce his relationship with America, Jacob is basically a stalker, who appears downright pathetic and seems to do his more harm than good to his chances with America with his constant attempts to talk her into leaving Edward for good and becoming his girlfriend instead. However, much like Trump, Jacob reveals that he has several trumps up his sleeve - first, he becomes a vampire, thus reversing the powerplay between him and Edward, whose frail physique makes him seem weak, and reminds one of a sufferer of some disease, perhaps even consumption (or pneumonia!), second, he represents the interests of the citizens of America (his Native American tribesmen) against the arrogant, violent newcomers (the aristocratic, yet bloodthirsty Anglo-Saxon vampires who are intruders in Jacob's land). It doesn't need to be mentioned that this is a striking parallel to the Trump platform of protecting the territorial and demographic integrity of his country against a legion of rapists and terrorists. Now, in the books Bella chooses Edward over Jacob, but therein lies the real genius of Stephenie Meyer. Remember that the books were written during the Obama presidency - Bella here represents the naive America wowed by the Obama campaign, surrendering herself to his charms, even though it in effect means that the first sight that ignited her love would put her under the sell of Obama's natural follower, the uncharismatic, selfish Hillary (Obama is the side of Edward that made Bella fall in love with him, Hillary is the side that makes her relationship with him abusive and unsustainable). However, by doing so this America turns into yet another lifeless vampire. Now our gaze must turn towards Bella's newborn child, the product of her unholy bond with Edward (establishment Democrats), though which America itself was seemingly turned into a domain of ivory tower elites with no place for the common man. But Renesme, the child, has in fact warm blood coursing through her veins, she is the future of America, not Bella, and Jacob Trump sees it, he imprints on the newborn, and thus is symbolically described the dynamic of this election - the aging coalition of people who elected Obama is too lifeless, too disenchanted to really effect the world outside the circles of Establishment vampires, even though they are nominally bound to Democrats through marriage to Hillary Cullen, there is no life in them that could stop their descent into irrelevance. But they gave life to a new political being, Renesme, which is an antithesis of its parents, you can imagine her as all the expunged, abandoned life force of Bella / America coalescing into a new form, a fertile soil to be tilled by Trump - Jacob and his lustful, energetic, albeit naive and brutish way. steinrokkan has issued a correction as of 13:49 on Nov 23, 2016 |

I would blow Dane Cook posted:Can you explain Trump's election with Twilight metaphors? OK so 60% of white voters are like Bella, who just wanted someone to make them feel special and valuable despite having every opportunity in life as the default condition. When normal boys wouldn't make her nethers tickle, she opted for two suitors who were guaranteed to kill her, and in the end went with the one who most closely matched her physical features.
