PLEASE ASK ABOUT MY 80,000 WORD WALLACE AND GROMIT SLASH FICTION. PLEASE.

We have strayed too far from god's light by giving primacy to Chapo Trap House, it's back to Cum Town and occasionally Streetfight we go.

I don't really understand why everyone (on Twitter) is drawing a connection between Sam Kriss and the Chapo dudes. He's been on the show once (which is significant of course) but what's the connection aside from that?

Fyi literally everyone doing that under his post is an alt right """"agent provocateur""""

I really lost a lot of respect for a guy who was one of my favourite writers with this half-assed apology. On the other hand, this proves why being volcel is the only choice for leftists.

It might have been like this pre-election, but Chapo really blurs those lines due to their all-but-official association with the DSA. If Chapo was just entertainment for example, the controversy over the Cosby joke wouldn’t have blown up like it did.

It blew up because Josh Androsky was a leader in the LA DSA. If he hadn’t been part of it, I don’t think it would have blown up the same way.

I think Chapo is perfectly aware that media can motivate people to be politically active, but they want to take an unequivocal stance that retweeting et al. isn't activism.

No one said it couldn't have happened or that it didn't but that it's good to be skeptical of things you find on the internet and that the online right has, very recently, talked about inventing allegations of sexual assault to target leftists.

Related to this: I know that Hillary Clinton does have fans, that they're overrepresented on Twitter, and that some of them are such perfect caricatures that they seem unreal. But when I see Twitter accounts that are like 90% anti-Sanders, 10% how-dare-you-sirring at Trump, and 0% posting about anything they are actually for, I find it hard to believe that a real human being would do this in their free time because of their deeply held convictions. They don't appear to be bots, but I can't believe someone would make this their hobby.

So when I see accounts that exist to do nothing but "monitor" the Left, and the people running it don't actually seem to know or discuss the history of minority rights being sidelined on the Left, I'm instantly suspicious.

it's really easy to believe when you read facebook or talk to people irl and realize that everyone one earth has awful politics opinions and most of them are more overtly racist than praising hillary using forced ebonics

Im quite gutted about Kriss. I really liked his writing. I don't think the " we had sex before" defence is going to fly really, so on behalf of slavering brocialists everywhere I bid gently caress off forever to massive house vodka strangler. Ok to help me get over my disappointment here's my attempt at making light of the situation: Maybe in a kinder, more 70sish age we could have given him the old " have you seen Chinatown" treatment heh.

I mean it doesn't lack authenticity but it's poo poo writing and doesn't suggest he has learned anything or feels bad about anything other than being caught out. I saw a comment that it "fails both as a statement and as an apology, which is a feat?" which about sums it up

The second video embed is something else. a literal professional footballer celebrating scoring practice shots to rub it in against a 13yo goalkeeper who is like 3/4 the size of any professional goalkeeper.

quote:

“Geeeet in theeeere!” Owen yelps, wheeling away in celebration, having beaten Jamie at his far post yet again. “Well done, he’s 13.” Nev replies, in a magnificently-piercing jibe the show’s editors thankfully decided to save from the cutting room floor - a real measure of the man.

Try again. Fail again. Fail better.
It's definitely "most men" in the sense that there are very few models of good consent in our popular culture that men can aspire to, but I'm reluctant to believe it's a smooth continuum between the poor consent practices of "most men" and socially unacceptable predatory behavior like repeatedly publicly groping a woman as she refuses you. Am I just naive or what?

you're being very naive, sadly. The inability for most men to understand consent is what directly feeds behavior like that. I'm sure 99% of the guys busted for this barely ever thought 'oh I'm sexually assaulting these women'. The dudes willing to excuse it with 'oh that's just how he is' or 'well did you lead him on' are what makes creeps justify their behavior to themselves and continue victimizing people.
