I was surprised by how vicious and personal the reaction was and curious to see if it was echoed here

Hahaha, ok sure, good point. The response to Red doesn't seem nearly as viscious or as personal.

Look at how pedestrian covered it, they had one article (as opposed to 3), and called it a "Questionable - if not outright problematic - take on race"

This is for a guy who straight up asked an Asian woman if she was yellow, hosed up some language, and said "alleged" black face. It got less than 20 comments, some of which called him a moron, some Of which were 'meh'

But when a woman says that a publicist asked how big a lift was, she's a feminist hating, victim blaming, fat shaming, disgusting, appalling, despicable c*unt.

... did you do that deliberately?

Edit - goddamnit new page and a new day let's not do this again

And not even having the integrity to articulate a position against any of the opinions.

Given the global scale of the refugee crisis, I think that Australia has a chance to take millions rather than thousands. "Smash the people smugglers business model and stop deaths at sea" by actually going over and getting them ourselves. Just north of Perth seems as good a place as any to do it. And I think they should be as involved as much as possible in the construction and operation of the new settlement because they have skills and using them is good an important

�Apex thugs� knocked out in viral video

A VIDEO posted to social media purporting to show two men in a street fight with a group of �Apex thugs� has gone viral.
The 10-second Snapchat video, titled �Goodnight Apex: Sudanese thugs get decked�, was first uploaded to YouTube by far right-wing group Party For Freedom Australia on Wednesday.
�Two Aussies defend themselves in a fight against four Sudanese in Beaumont Street, Hamilton, 11th June 2017,� reads description of the video, which was filmed at the intersection of Beaumont and Cleary Streets in Newcastle, opposite The Kent Hotel.

The Apex Gang is believed to be behind a series of carjackings, home invasions, assaults and robberies in Melbourne over the past year. Despite the gang being reported as predominantly of Sudanese origin, Victorian police say it is made up of �Australian-born offenders�.
There have been no reports of the Apex Gang being in Newcastle and there is no evidence that the men in the video are members of the gang, police say.
According to the Party For Freedom website, the fight broke out at about 1am on Sunday. �The Sudanese troublemakers were drinking in the Hotel Kent verbally abusing patrons while trying to start fights with anyone in the hotel,� it says.
However, news.com.au understands this version of events is incorrect, and that the four men were never inside hotel itself as they had previously been banned from the venue.
Although the video claims to show the �Aussies� defending themselves, the video itself only shows footage where the �Aussie� men appear to be the aggressors.
Chief Inspector Terry Burns from the Newcastle Police said officers were called to an alleged brawl outside the Oasis Food Court on Sunday morning �involving a number of males�. �Two males were still on the scene when police arrived, however all other parties had left,� he said.
�The two males were being treated for minor facial injuries. At this stage we�re still appealing for people to assist us with the identity of a number of persons that were involved in the fight. Inquiries are ongoing. We�ve released the CCTV and we�re confident we will obtain their identities.�
No one has yet been charged over the incident. �We�ve actually appealed for them to come forward before we knock on their doors,� Insp. Burns said.
Party For Freedom Australia was founded by controversial anti-Islam campaigner Nick Folkes, and first gained attention in 2015 with its presence at Reclaim Australia rallies. The group is known for its anti-immigration and anti-multiculturalism views.
Mr Folkes was branded �extremely rude� by Sky News host Andrew Bolt after about 10 members of the group stormed a service at the Gosford Anglican Church last August wearing Arabic-style dress and shouting slogans through a loudspeaker.
Earlier this year, Mr Folkes appeared on the SBS show The Truth About Racism, hosted by Muslim activist Yassmin Abdel-Magied. He later claimed the show was �hijacked�, branding it a �stitch-up from the get-go�.
The video, which has been viewed nearly 45,000 times, has attracted a large number of racist comments too offensive to be published here.

This video was posted on fash propaganda page and run with the fact that it was Apex gang despite police saying that this is completely false and is calling the people beaten up the victims.

She interviewed Roxanne Gay, an author who was promoting a book called 'Hunger: a memoir of my body'. It deals with the experience of being a fat person in the world. Buying 2 plane seats, etc. As part of the introduction, she disclosed that Gay's publicist had asked unique questions in the lead up to the interview - such as the distance to the studio, and notably, how big the lift was and whether there was a goods lift.
The author took to twitter to express her displeasure, and everyone picked up on it and has pounced on Friedman with what feels like an unsettling level of glee.

(Despicable, shameful, appalling, oval office monster who betrays women etc.)

If Gay's weight and the impact that has on her experience in the world was some kind of secret, rather than being the the purpose of her being there, it would be one thing, but it wasn't. And people are attacking Friedman in really nasty and personal ways, and I'm trying to understand it.

Seems like it's echoed here.

Since then, I've just tried to figure out why people think she's so horrible (Turd of a human, shithead, etc). No one has actually been able to present a coherent argument with the possible exception of maybe some questionable industrial arrangements.

This is the article that seems to sum up the reaction which posters in here seem to stand by: http://junkee.com/roxane-gay-mia-freedman-outrage/108573

Hi, I actually am a trans woman.

There is a marked difference between what I hope you're alluding to here and who's actually being described with the term 'TERF'. I can understand the concept of wanting to focus the narrative of protests and such on cisgender women; I don't agree with being left out in the cold so to speak, but I can conceptually agree with not wanting to muddy a narrative if you're pushing for something specific.

TERFs are not that, although they may hide behind that. Generally, TERFs disagree that trans women are even women, hence the 'E' standing for 'Exclusionary'. To them trans women are at best confused, at-average mentally ill, at worst predators in waiting, and in all cases not legitimate. And frankly, gently caress those people.

It's not uncommon in digital media. If you want to write and get your name out there, cool, they can publish it.. It's questionable, I'm not defending it too hard, but now they pay everyone, as well as having a huge staff of fully employed women.
