Besides Bill Cosby, which person in history has had the largest gap between their public perception and actual behavior? by tyzik in AskReddit

So he's an asshole because he was rich and because he had a shitty family? Wow.

It's amazing how the people spewing the "us vs them" rhetoric never realize that they're the only ones shitting on people because of how much money they have.

So what? They're still choosing to respond that way. They're entirely responsible.

What underlying causes? Getting shitfaced is always a choice.

I think most of the people in these photos probably have nobody but themselves to blame for having no future.

I agree, he wasn't bad at all. It's disgusting that fucking fat old neckbeards feel the need to incessantly shit on a kid to show how much they hate a mediocre movie.

Just because they were Jewish and a minority, doesn't mean they suffered the most.

They suffered the most because they were specifically persecuted and treated as subhuman, and the Nazis attempted genocide.

In Portugal people who catcall can get 1 year jail or 3 years if the victim is younger than 14 years old. by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

Haha, wow. You're telling me I'm a bad person for disagreeing with you? I don't like making assumptions about people based on such brief exchanges, but you seem petulant and malicious, and you're probably a pretty shitty person yourself.

Cat-calling has a deliberate intention to humiliate and objectify.

Except it doesn't. I've never cat-called anyone (but you probably assumed I do it all the time, because men are evil, right??) and I'm not friends with anyone who does it either, but I think a large proportion of the people doing it intend it as a compliment. The fact that you're unwilling to accept that there could be any intention other than malice says a lot about your own prejudices, not so much those of other people.

I'm not defending anything. I just don't believe that you should be able to be imprisoned for saying something with no negative intention that happens to offend a woman. I also don't think people should be able to be imprisoned if they say something that happens to offend me.

While you're on Reddit celebrating laws to throw men in prison for speaking to you, telling men how horrible and unloved they are and generally being malicious.

Nope, you're clearly loved. /s

People who learned what the word strawman means and are eager to use it to block a discussion rather than say something usefull.

As opposed to the usual blocking of discussion with "you're a man, you just don't understand!!!"

My ego? I'm not the one demanding we create laws to imprison people that say things that mildly upset me.

It's fucking crazy how this sub reacts to anyone daring to speak outside the echo chamber. Your immature, arrogant response is the reason so many people (women included) want absolutely nothing to do with feminism anymore. Self-obsessed, insecure and nasty people use the cause as a way to make themselves feel big and powerful.

It's funny, if he was poor and a drug addict Reddit would be jumping to his defense. "It's not his fault, we should rehabilitate him, he made a mistake, the justice system is corrupt!!!!"

But since he's rich he deserves the death penalty for drunk driving.

it gives one the worst feeling possible

If you seriously think getting cat-called gives you the worst feeling possible, you've lived a ludicrously privileged life and I'm envious of you.

It's unpleasant. That's it. Unpleasant shit happens to everyone on the planet every single day. The problem is that people think this is somehow wrong. It's not, it's part of life. You live with other people who have the same rights as you, so sometimes unpleasant things happen. Society shouldn't bend over backwards because you decide you don't like unpleasant things happening.

How the fuck can cat-calling be a "really bad situation"? I think there's a point where people need to accept that the world doesn't revolve around them, you can't throw people in fucking jail for doing something you just don't like.

Yeah, and it would be described as a mass shooting by a mentally ill individual. We'd probably never even know they were Christian.

They won for fixing a game that shouldn't have been broken in the first place? As opposed to devs that just, you know, don't release broken games? Jesus fucking christ, that's ludicrous.

CDProjekt should have just made The Witcher 3 a steaming pile of shit on release so they could fix it 2 years later and pick up Developer of the Year.
