Sam Biddle literally had to find this woman's tweet (she had 171 followers) and decide that she was his victim for the day. I mean jesus, does nobody else find it absolutely horrifying that there's some guy whose job it is to troll twitter, find a tweet that you or somebody else has made, publicize it to a larger audience who are ready to quite literally mob you until you lose your job, liveliehood, reputation, and everything over a goddamn tweet.

Why is nobody loving else even remotely bothered by this? We are not a society of goddamn sociopaths!

lol just post the racist joke you made that you're afraid is going to get you fired, seems like it's going to be found anyway

Global warming is barely a big deal at all compared to the trajectory we used to be on. We'll have to do a lot of environmental engineering projects along certain shorelines and it will be a little warmer and wetter in some places, big fucking deal.

let's destroy a person for telling jokes yeah I guess that's fine because people would really stop using OKCupid

no everyone's right this isn't at all worth being upset about

If she was saying this out loud in public, she would have checked over her shoulders to make sure there were no black people around, but whoa there were repercussions for posting it on a social media site that like 85% of the world can read? Crazy times.

If you make a statement that somebody perceives as racist, it is Good and Just for you to be

you know what this is GBS I am not even gonna bother finishing that statement. I guess everyone's just really okay with all of this, so okay, enjoy a lovely world where everything sucks.

Because I was not a Nazi.
Then they came for the Klansmen, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Klansmen.
Then they came for the Libertarian atheists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Libertarian athiest.

I'm sorry, but Gawker literally thrives on this poo poo. http://gawker.com/justine-sacco-aids-free-white-person-has-officially-b-1487879681?rev=1387661849

It's like, Sacco isn't even racist. She did what a lot of people do in this forum, and made an ironic joke. But she had her face and name attached to it, and that was enough to destroy her, so there you go. But that doesn't matter.

We're really just fine with sanctimonious pieces of poo poo like this destroying careers for fun and profit. http://gawker.com/justine-sacco-is-good-at-her-job-and-how-i-came-to-pea-1653022326 Yeah here's his watered-down apology, oops, sorry I destroyed your life, would I do it again, UMMMMMMMMM HMMMMMM life sure is complicated
