It's not about you Archi, it's about how he feels. People calling themselves feminist emotionally attacked this guy to the point of tears during international coverage. You don't get to hand wave that as "these views are not representative of this station or any of its affiliates".
The dude was crying. Are you seriously okay with bullying people into crying?
Funny how people can call the Gamergate people monsters because of a few people, and yet when the tables are turned, it's a fringe group that doesn't represent Feminism.
Can't have it both ways.
He seemed genuinely remorseful to me - do you think he wasn't?
An apology out of being harassed endlessly by people you don't even know is not the same as someone understanding the errors of their way for a mistake that hurt no one.
I don't think anyone here thinks he should have been bullied. How long are we going to pretend all feminists hate him and think he deserves everything he got?
I think you guys are assuming a lot is all.
So youre saying its ok for him to be bullied because of his clothing, it was an invitation...
It's not ok for feminists to bully people as a means of promoting feminist ideals.
It's not ok for feminists to bully people.
It is ok for them to criticize his choice of shirt.
Glad we've found some common ground. So how do we go about stifling that behavior while still promoting the healthier and more positive aspects of feminism? The vitriolic segment appears to have gained undue influence, or at the very least disproportionate exposure, thus tainting the perception of the movement as a whole. It's an ongoing problem. Feminism has the potential to do a great deal of good, but right now it's also doing a great deal of evil.
edit: nvm
No its not
Do you know why?
He landed a probe on a fucking comet. At that very moment he could have whipped his cock out and start jerking it, and the only thing anyone can comment on is a lack of professionalism, and he would be excused because he landed a probe on a fucking comet.
Overshadowing something so amazing with "but his shirt has cartoon women in lingerie" is so selfish and greedy it put the feminist fight for equality back to the stone age.
Every single thing that women have fought for in the past 50 years or whatever just took a massive blow because of this.
At the next slutwalk parade or whatever its called, when women hold up signs or paint their body with "what im wearing is not an invitation", the MRA people are going to use this very incident to silence that thought.
