If that was true I wouldnt be saying what Im saying. We dont have any evidence he assaulted her or that she was hospitalized due to him assaulting her. The only la risky evidence we have so far (which is barely that) is that the person assaulted said he didnt and doesnt want him charged. That makes you the one not believing her. Charges are not evidence. Charges come before evidence. We have trials for a reason. Evidence will be provided, and a decision will be made.

I dont feel confident that I know enough to make a decision myself, and its strange everyone else does.

multiple people have spoken out about he has been violent and abusive for years

Zonbei posted...

Me too. The time I sat up from in between my partners legs (she was on the couch and I was on the ground while we watched a movie) and my head hit the bottom of her beer bottle. It hit her in the mouth. Completely an accident, and she wasnt even trying to grab anything from me. People are fragile.

When I was even younger I was pushing someone on a swing, they fell off, broke their fingers. Straight to the hospital. You seem to be thinking people arent fragile. A nose can get broken in a second, even by something like a phone being let go and going straight back into the nose of the person pulling on it. (As an example, not likely to be the case here.) Ive been hit pretty hard by accident myself by people while doing innocuous things, let alone grappling for control of a phone.

I have ALSO been domestically abused, beat badly enough to need a hospital visit.

So, again, Im not trying to deny domestic violence is common. I understand the fawning response exists. There just isnt remotely enough info in these couple texts to draw that conclusion, and pretending like its the only possible thing that could have happened is, at best, dumb. At worst its having decided on what you want to have happened and refusing to consider any other possibility.

i mean he was arrested and charged with assault and his victim was hospitalized from said assault. we should generally believe domestic violence victims, especially with the supposed exculpatory evidence making him look worse

trump supporters are in a constant state of impotent rage about everything

I bet if you asked them if Trump would win in 2024 if he wasn't indicted, they would say he absolutely would. So if he's going to win either way, why should it be a consideration when deciding whether or not to indict?

they think/thought everything would cause him to win. a huge portion of those nuts still think trump actually won 2020. non hogs making decisions based on what hogs may do is an act of futility

Sounds like Reddit should close that place, if they are making threats

i would hope they at least take action against the accounts doing it. one way mentioned 'tree of liberty' while another guy straight up said 'libs are leaving no choice but violence' (paraphrasing)

it is fucking mental, hilarious and scary at the same time. some of them are openly calling for violence while others are claiming this will (somehow?) cause trump to win in '24

the hogs are melting down hard about this on r/conservative

the trump cult is absolutely freaking out lmao. imagine supporting a morbidly obese diaper wearing manchild like trump

Pepys_Monster posted...

Imagine believing this.

it's objective reality. obama fixed the bush dumpster fire economy and trump destroyed that by 2020. repugs always destroy the economy with their braindead fiscal policy and democrats have to clean it up

banning tiktok is fucking dumb, just regulate it along with the other major social media companies. banning vpns is mental. congress never seems to do much that is actually beneficial but they sure do try hard to systemically destroy internet freedom

Tyranthraxus posted...

No it isn't. It's just branded differently there.

no, tiktok itself is banned in china. the similar company that operates there under the same corporate umbrella is much more restrictive on speech

biden has done good of incrementally fixing the economy that fat donald destroyed

what happens if a NATO member attacks another NATO member?
like, say, Turkey attacks Greece?

or what happens if a NATO member suffers a civil war?
like USA probably any day now?

presumably nato would defend the nation being invaded. idk about a civil war scenario, though i would imagine the leaders of nato countries would work something out as a consensus in theory

if you want to engage any specific post feel free, otherwise the driveby shitposting while not addressing anything doesn't seem credible

UndefeatedGOAT posted...

i dont think its many peoples motivation, i think its a subconscious thing.

so subconsciously racist if thats a thing

obv unconscious bias exists too but trying to paint with that broad a brush like the author of the article just stretches the credibility to the breaking point. specifically mentioning crying jordan is the most ridiculous thing but also invoking some white woman who claims white people are 'just boring' seems like it is throwing red meat to the chud army a little too obviously

UndefeatedGOAT posted...

it kinda is racist, the underlying thing going on is people seem to think black people make funnier faces

if that is someone's motivation that is racist, that isn't what the article is saying though, or at least it doesn't stop there by any means.

asdf8562 posted...

What exactly is the point of this topic?

Because I hope it's not seriously trying to argue posting meme with black people is inherently racist.

..about that

[LFAQs-redacted-quote]


more driveby shitposting from you eh. you used to be a seemingly normal user too smh

[LFAQs-redacted-quote]


expected like the abandonment of that topic on 261 tbh

[LFAQs-redacted-quote]


you are invoking a particular author of an almost universally decried article while handwaiving the opinions of other people and later calling them right wing trolls in a spirited 'no u'.

that post and the rest clearly speak for themselves. you want to tell others to 'step back and listen' to black people while refusing to do the same to actual people who disagree with you. the fact you don't see the hypocrisy is honestly not believable at this point. bagged and tagged.

[LFAQs-redacted-quote]


yes, people using alt right platform twitter and funding the most dangerous scumbag in america aside from top gop politicians is much more egregious than playing a harry potter game. some people just don't like hearing that because of course they won't make a sacrifice to avoid being a massive hypocrite.

[LFAQs-redacted-quote]


post 112 you literally admitted you were speaking for the black community as a monolith...before continuing to double down later.

[LFAQs-redacted-quote]


'everyone on 261 is wrong and the obvious troll attempt was totally in good faith'

ok jan

[LFAQs-redacted-quote]


the article is ridiculous af regardless of who wrote it, the fact you tried to invoke the black community while shitting on multiple black people who gave their opinions in that topic are what got you rightly labeled a troll.

accusing vfalcone of being a right wing troll is peak irony. go ahead and search his name on google and look through his posts on 261. i will give you a hint, he is consistent and doesn't show up to driveby shitpost like you did

[LFAQs-redacted-quote]


i already quoted the post where he denigrated a black guy and told him his opinion doesn't matter while invoking the black community as a monolith...the dude apologized for doing that before continuing to double down later. you are welcome to read the topic and engage with it yourself

[LFAQs-redacted-quote]


ahh, yes, 'no u' again lol

[LFAQs-redacted-quote]


i mean it very clearly does. don't take my word for it, go read the topic and the rest of the responses directed at you from all angles.

[LFAQs-redacted-quote]


read the topic chudly

[LFAQs-redacted-quote]


the great white savior has spoken again lol

[LFAQs-redacted-quote]



Surely you understand you don't speak for all Black people, right?

You also really downpalyed how often racists use memes with Black people...by a lot.

the above is the post you made in response to vfalcone post #94. not only are you telling him his opinion doesn't matter, you imply he is self hating. you can imagine why a new account showing up to tell longtime users their opinions don't matter and that your perspective as a white dude matters more than theirs is an issue, right?

[LFAQs-redacted-quote]


bullshit. not only did you try to tell the actual black people in the topic they were wrong, you heavily implied one of them was self hating for disagreeing with you, the white savior.

TikTok has knowledge?

Then they should do the same to every other social media platform.

every social media platform should absolutely be regulated in ways they aren't now, particularly in regard to data harvesting. still, it is slightly less concerning for a shady tech company to have access to data than the ccp

succession is such a great show. i am excited for it

averagejoel posted...

it is if you're singling out TikTok and ignoring facebook, instagram, google, twitter, etc.

the united states isn't a dictatorship.

tiktok shouldn't be banned but it should be regulated to ensure an objectively evil entity like the ccp doesn't have unrestricted access to the insane amount of data they harvest.

[LFAQs-redacted-quote]


fucking peak irony that guy is using a shithole platform like twitter to announce his war on social media.

social media is more harmful than good to be certain but banning it ain't it

it's fine. better than most politics forums

California was an open-carry state until the Black Panthers armed themselves to protect their neighborhoods. Scared the absolute shit outta Governor Reagan and other important white folks, they abolished that shit with a quickness after that.

yep. ironically the only way any level of sensible gun laws are ever passed are if conservatives see minorities attempting to enjoy the same rights they have.

you must live in a totally different world then. individuals can do their part but the overall issue is with nations and corporations doing nothing and exacerbating the problem.

Idiots dont realise that theres multiple points of no return weve already passed so yes multiple final warnings are appropriate, for each point of no return we cross

this. it isn't like there will be one cataclysmic event that immediately annihilates everything, it is an observable reality that climate change is becoming more and more of a problem and the effects are becoming more and more extreme. this isn't some crackpot theory, it is settled and observable science.

jesus that is terrible. sorry you had to deal with that.

as to this topic...if people are using memes to mock or denigrate black people that is obviously racism. if people are using images to 'other' people or any attempt to marginalize them, that is racism. people posting the crying jordan meme or w/e else the dipshit article is claiming is fine.

blackface is a racist af demeaning caricature, attempting to equate meme usage to that when the situation isn't the same or even remotely comparable is just dumb af

I think there's a difference between "you will not do anything" and "I can't trust you to do anything".

It's not about "right" or "wrong". It's about trust.

Like we've established the three factual points, right?
1. Rowling is a transphobe.
<b>2. Rowling stands to gain monetarily from sales of the game.</b>
3. Many visibly online trans people have asked people to not buy the game.
For you to say "I get all those but I'm going to buy the game anyway" is basically saying how much those people mean to you compared to your enjoyment of a Harry Potter franchise video game.

And as such, it's not "wrong" to believe that trust has been broken.

So now you're saying you have seen the actual contract that Warner Brothers and J.K. Rowling have signed?

If it feels like I'm implying I don't have strong feelings, then I apologize. No, I very much have strong feelings when it comes to the subject of people being dismissive of a request coming from some trans people because the alternative is not playing a particular video game, especially when they quadruple-down on their defense of themselves.

As I said in my first post in this topic, it's about trust. If someone can't be trusted to take the side of trans people on a "sacrifice" this small, what will come of being asked to sacrifice more?

I'm not necessarily saying there are better discussions to have. I'm being TOLD to not discuss this and discuss something else by people who choose to remain in this topic demanding to not be judged for buying a video game.

It's a request that rings hollow when it comes from <b>the antagonists in the argument.</b>
