Because it's part of structured narrative that minority men are animals that can't control themselves around white women. It's a narrative that ultimately ends in dead minority men.

Catcalling is terrible and sexism is very much real. But doctored videos should be seen in a larger cultural context, and professions of innocence is straight up not believable to me.

I'm sorry but there's nothing to suggest that the video was "doctored" in the way that you're implying (e.g. to remove all of the white males, for racist reasons), and what you're missing is that the faux-racism concern is intended to cover up the very real misogyny concerns that the video raises.

The video isn't about race

usually it's a bunch of fat white dudes standing around in camo gear while holding rifles and trying strike cool poses without realizing that they look like total tools

the inauspicious purpose of these rallies is always something like supporting the second amendment or protesting the existence of gun-free zones, stupid poo poo like that

It is also very often the same fat white dudes strolling through department stores with their AR15s as some sort of statement. They are always super offended when management politely asks them if they could not because they were making the other customers uncomfortable.

Faux racism concern?

Ok lol. You've gone from speaking past me to straight up insinuating ill motives.

This convo is going great.

Catcalling is real but when the creators of this particular vid mysteriously edit every instance of a white guy leaving only minorities menacing white women color me skeptical about their motives.

Oh, you have a problem with people insinuating ill motives? :ironicat:

It's not a mystery, the creators (Hollaback, an anti-street harassment organization) said that they got a lot of white guys too but they were usually either off-camera or their audio capture was ruined by street noise, so only 1 white guy wound up in the video. What's weird is how some people want to latch onto and talk about that detail while insinuating (or outright stating) that the video is bullshit or shouldn't be taken seriously because there aren't enough white men in it. As though the presence of enough white men is what's needed in order for a video about catcalling to be seen as legitimate. I mean, that is what you're saying, right? "I think this thing is a problem but this video about it didn't have enough white men for me to accept its legitimacy", basically?

I dont think its that contradictory to hold the belief that catcalling constitutes harassment and that the video is evidence of that while also being suspicious that the video was edited to overrepresent minorities. The latter doesnt somehow invalidate the former.

Binge read this thread in two days and besides learning about JBPee and the Loomy lady the thing that spiralled me right back into depression was finding out people in my country still unironically support FvD. I was naively hoping that that was in the process of flopping like a badly baked flan.

I'd post the thing about Geert Wilders calling a 'make a Muhammad political cartoon' contest, saying he won't back down, never ever back down and then backing down the day before the contest was scheduled because of threats and not because no actual political cartoonist had any interest in his publicity stunt ofcourse, but I don't know if that constitutes a self-own or is even interesting to the rest of the world.

I'll still be reading the thread ofcourse but drat humanity is depressing.

patriarchy sucks
The entire goal of stunts like that is to get enough publicity that some Pakistani on twitter will proclaim it an affront to Islam and say you should be hanged for it, so you can then cancel it and be a victim and get more publicity.
And it will always work because yeah, there actually are lot of fanatics more than willing to prove the point of the alt-right assholes by threatening death for cartoons.

I'm surprised these guys don't do their attacks on Muslim countries like Iran where people draw Muhammed and all the other important people all the time constantly.
But then again maybe Iran is too likely to just gun down suspicious people at the border or whatever.

i mean isn't there like a un-spoken rule that unless you drop out of school and start working at the local coffee shop or bike store, you're supposed to move out of the neighborhood and let a few years past before you start hanging out there again. If at all.
