Rape gif culture

[Necrometer]

This practice is profoundly upsetting to our commenters

well, now the flooding will definitely stop!

why don't they just limit image-posting to accounts with 500 posts? so easy...

[FVBTVS]

In refusing to address the problem, Gawker's leadership is prioritizing theoretical anonymous tipsters over a very real and immediate threat to the mental health of Jezebel's staff and readers. If this were happening at another website, if another workplace was essentially requiring its female employees to manage a malevolent human pornbot, we'd report the hell out of it here and cite it as another example of employers failing to take the safety of its female employees seriously.

they're going to maybe go insane?! oh now it'll stop for sure

Probably because they can't write an article about about being a victim if they took care of the problem themselves.

What bothers me about this is that we don't record IP addresses so as to protect these burner accounts for people who might want to tip us anonymously about a story. So the company is seemingly placing a priority on making these hypothetical tipsters feel safe over the safety of the actual real live women who write and read this site.

Dude you have to delete an image file. At what point does your safety become endangered in that scenario ?

i followed some of those tweets down the rabbit hole and found this

spoiler: "evidence" usually means "a study i can nitpick the flaws in & say 'i guess the jury is still out on this one'"

@fatachrestic Well obviously it's not valid research because only a cishet white dude can be a primary source, that's just science.

i don't even want to know what "cishet" means, i'm sure

I was gonna post this in the MMA thread, but actually I'm thinking it belongs here. For... perspective.

thanks for the "real rape" reminder

AIDS in africa'd

[spacehamster]

Yeah, except that didn't happen in Africa, buddy. But yeah, sure, internet cishet-normative slut-shaming is WAY worse.

WWE Summerslam ad right in the middle of the article couldn't be more un-appropriately awesome.

source?

[spacehamster]

I like how you responded without reading the article, though.

SPOILERSPOILER_SHOW

He didn't actually rape her because he couldn't get it up.

Anyway, let's just note for the record that a woman got her face broken in multiple places, liver ruptured and repeatedly stabbed, and you scoffed at it. As usual, you exceed expectations.

[Necrometer]

I absolutely read the article and got a sad laugh out of his impotence, for the record.
