| > Whether or not Adria overreacted is irrelevant How is it? Is attempting to publicly humiliate someone and get them fired now preferred over politely asking them to stop? > NOT someone who likely has to deal with sexist bullshit day in and day out in a male dominated and sexualized industry. "Society is male dominated, therefore it's acceptable to publicly humiliate someone and get them fired over dongle jokes". > thousands of comments here and at reddit and on twitter posting her real life address, calling for her to be raped or cut, etc. Extreme and vicious misogyny. I haven't personally seen any of this; it's mostly just people disagreeing with her behavior. Rule #1 of the internet: there are trolls. > The original incident may have been a "false positive" as you say Wait, do you seriously think that publicly humiliating someone and getting them fired over a dongle joke is not a problem? > the response has been 100% vicious and violent misogyny. You mean "100% of the troll posts I looked at were troll posts". By the way, misogyny is the hatred of women in general. A hateful post is not necessarily misogyny just because it's directed at a woman. Eg. I can hate Sarah Palin and post about how I hope she gets eaten by a grue, but that's not misogyny. |
