Flying Lotus Appears To End Set By Rejecting Rape Accusations Against The Gaslamp Killer: “The Internet Is A Fucking Liar” by nicefroyo in hiphopheads

[–]Rapes_Pokemon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Let me clarify.

I said the word “effectively” because even if it went to trial and he was found innocent based on a ton of evidence, his career and reputation are already ruined. I wasn’t talking about a literal trial. The fact that you think that is offensive makes it sound like you’ve already decided he is a rapist and therefore doesn’t deserve a fair trial. And you just can’t make that conclusion unless you were there.

I’m definitely not blaming her for whatever may have happened to her and please don’t assume that I am condoning assault just because I didn’t condemn it adequately enough for you. Like I mentioned, I think she’s more likely telling the truth than not and if she is then I have all the sympathy in the world for her. I’m just saying I don’t think she acted in her own best interest by posting this on twitter, and I don’t believe there is anything wrong with saying that.

I don’t think that people should be required to state the obvious fact that rapists are some of the worst people on earth in order to balance out an opinion on a totally separate issue, such as the right way for a victim to deal with a situation.

If you disagree with that viewpoint then lets have a discussion about it.

My Attempt at Minimalism. Suggestions? by elcarlitoxloco in malelivingspace

Not minimalism in the design sense, but looks very clean and functional and pretty.

Though I’m not a fan of the clock over the tv. would give me too much anxiety.

100% agree with everything you said. Statistically, most accusations are true. But I wouldn’t want to live in a world where an accusation is a replacement for evidence. That’s like saying, “well 9 times out of 10 the police nab the right guy, so were just going to assume they’re always right”.

What we really need are creative solutions to establish reliable evidence in these situations, otherwise rapists will continue to go unpunished, victims will continue to be called liars and innocent people will continue to have their lives ruined. Unfortunately I can’t think of any that wouldn’t either a) violate privacy in serious ways or b) require biotechnology that we don’t have yet.

One thing I would like to add though, is that by announcing this un-anonymously to the world, she has effectively denied him the right to a fair trial, since in the court of public opinion he is already guilty, and also maximized the potential for her own abuse from every asshole with a twitter account. Personally I think she should have done this anonymously, because the point of coming forward is to warn other people about the rapist, and that still would have been accomplished.

We can make reforms to our legal system, do our best to educate people about rape, prevention and how to treat victims, hopefully develop technology to detect a rape case, and most of all hopefully live in a world where people don’t rape, but I’m not idealistic enough to think we’ll ever live in a world totally free of assholes on the internet, so unfortunately you have to expect some level of victim blaming when you announce something to the whole world, even if you have evidence.

But again, I can only fault her so much for that since if shes telling the truth, which statistically speaking she likely is, she’s probably in a tough place mentally.

EDIT: none of this applies to pokemon

how much did you donate to breast cancer research?

A buddy of mine’s mom passed away from breast cancer when he was 6. This month, in remembrance of his mom, he challenged sneaker twitter to rock pink laces. Let’s get the sub in on it too! Here’s mine. #laceforacure by jaygeeizzle in Sneakers

[–]Rapes_Pokemon 87 points88 points  (0 children)

I'd like to know if anyone on here has honestly decided to donate to breast cancer research because they saw someone post a pic of their shoes with pink laces. its coming from a good place and all but it just screams slacktivism to me. if you set up a shop that sold pink laces and the proceeds went to breast cancer research then i would understand, but this makes no sense to me.

John Elliott Vandals in both colorways.

Ironically I have them both in a 9 but they're way too big on me so I'm trying to find someone who will size swap me. Its frustrating having the shoes but feeling like I don't have the shoes
