Honestly if you are a feminist and you quickly leave a forum because someone was a dick to you then you're going to have a huge shock later in life. Having someone post/say stupid bigoted shit to you is something that comes with the territory of joining a very opinionated group. That's not to say it's right, but running away/being shocked by it isn't the right response either.

And yes she did overreact a little. Getting all emotional and hounding someone because your in shock they broke up with you is completely normal shit.

don't earl. even we ain't exactly in the same side... *earl's looks blank, then face drops in astonishment as bonzi grinning flips his hidden character card to reveal a... a RENEGADE!?* just a joke, there's no goods and bads here.

I know we don't completely agree but if I filter everything thru you first it would remove all the barbs

actually those were your own exact words. unless you were actually not talking about yourself when you said "most of us are experts on feminism and I'm offended you'd suggest otherwise".

who woudl ever read that and think "he is so serious, he really believes that" when he's talking to a woman about a community entirely composed of males

but YOU ARE!
sure, you may think inri's wrong but here you are, defending him again, saying he should be unbanned. not because you never want anyone banned or because you agree with him, but because you think his misogyny is acceptable as long as he's an otherwise interesting or valuable member. you even said that if this were some random, blank slate new member, you'd be in favor of banning him. how does that not perfectly describe "being okay" with these bigoted things?

cuz, as I've stated numerous times, I don't think it's ok and I do think it should be punished. I wish you'd done something about it sooner. but I don't think permabanning him is the correct response

if you accept some people, you de facto exclude others. if you accept people who make gross and hostile misogynistic/racist comments you are pushing out others who have zero tolerance for that kind of bullshit. i find it fucking gross to be around and if you don't understand why people like me have zero tolerance for it then you obviously just haven't experienced being the brunt of it. there are plenty of spaces where people like that can say whatever they want. misogyny is very accepted (=the norm) in most spaces. on the other hand, there are very few safe spaces. which kind of space do you want to be?

I don't buy that. he doesn't need to be completely excluded in order for us to carry the message that racism isn't tolerated here. velf's probably headed back to SA anyway, which is one of the more misogynistic places on the net besides youtube and 4chan. I don't think you're allofthetrash but anyway please don't leave

Also earlchips stop defending me every time I get banned. It just keeps the drama going (but it's pretty funny)

you don't get to tell me that

I don't know what she's dealt with but I don't think that's why she left/considered leaving. it's prob. more not wanting to deal with this shit.

if you believe that people will say ignorant/bigoted shit to you frequently enough for it to be kind of uncomfortable, I see that as a pretty decent reason to quit talking to them.

I really thought we had run out of stupid/insane opinions by now.

okay so first of all being a feminist or not has no bearing whatsoever on your tolerance for this kind of misogyny or your ability to take offense. turns out some people don't like talking to a bunch of dumb men with juvenile ideas about women, or being constantly harassed and then having to watch other people defend the harasser. she decided she wasn't gonna have a part in it anymore, and that's not exactly a strange or controversial reaction.

and second of all, what do you mean "later in life"? are you implying she's just ignorant about the real world, and its level of misogyny, and that once she grows up she'll come to the startling realization that you can't always run away from things?? do you think she's like a young teenager or something? this is just presumptive beyond reason, and it's also completely wrong because vellfire's actually far more well-read into these issues than probably any one of us and has dealt with it in real life. we talk about this sort of thing a lot and she goes out of her way to research this. she's not a naive little girl. she tells me she was shocked by this because she honestly thought you guys were better than that. and so did I, actually.

the problem is, and has always been, from the start of this topic, that you guys are siding with a complete misogynist who's been harassing one of our members, and making up the dumbest excuses in his favor whilst demonizing vellfire as having "overreacted", or being a hypocrite because she likes misogynistic popular culture. this doesn't even rise to the level of the GW I know from years ago where people still used "fag" and "nigger" as insults.

you have no idea what vellfire is up to.

also this isn't relevant one bit, except it's yet another way for you to brand vellfire a hypocrite, which is all you seem to be focused on besides defending your misogynistic buddy. for the record, SA actually has a good topic on feminism wherein people trying to derail or troll it get outright banned with no discussion.

yeah, so I should just lock this now because this topic is just too insane. it's extremely sad to see people taking such GREAT OFFENSE to a horrible person getting banned.

so thanks inri and ed for being misogynists. thanks earlchip for defending inri's right to constantly harass one of our members to the point where she literally got bullied off the site. you guys are great.

sorry to malad for locking your topic. this really has nothing to do with you. if you've got an update, please make a new topic.
