Also there's :siren: BREAKING NEWS :siren:: according to the local Sheriff, there's a third video that shows the student striking the officer. This very clearly makes the officer's reaction okay and people can stop talking about it and stuff :colbert:

Before or after he starts ripping her out of the desk so hard the desk gets tossed around with her? Does it matter if the police investigators can say, "she struck him, all is okay" even if it's blatantly ex posteriorum?

Like all the headlines of "officer drags student across floor" are downplaying it. He flipped her in the goddamn air while she was still seated, landed her on her head, and then dragged her across the floor.

http://mediamatters.org/video/2015/10/27/fox-news-turns-to-a-panel-of-men-to-debate-whet/206439

quote:

On Tuesday, Fox and Friends’ Steve Doocy invited a “panel of fathers” onto the program to discuss whether they would allow their daughters to leave the house in leggings. The newsworthy discussion was based on a newly viral video of a Tennessean woman chastising women for wearing too-sheer pants in leggings weather, which she happens to love.

The panel consisted of Duck Dynasty’s Willie Robertson, Fox legal analyst Arthur Aidala, and husband to Fox’s Julie Banderas, Andrew Sansone.

Robertson has no problem with leggings, because his daughters wear shirts long enough to cover the “lady parts.”
Aidala has a rule in his household: “If it’s not worn in the monastery, it’s not worn out on the street.”
Sansone has babies, and feels it is appropriate and “cute” for babies to wear leggings.

Then, they brought out three women wearing leggings and analyzed their outfits and whether or not they thought them too crude.

“The guys are looking at Caitlin now,” Doocy said.

“Well, actually I’m not looking,” joked Aidala.

“Do you have a tattoo? Or is that too personal,” Doocy asked before promising, “We’ll validate your parking.”

Then, they brought out a woman named Paige in a tank top and spandex. “Woof,” said Aidala before shriek laughing. “Pass.”

“We all took our nitroglycerin pills before she came on the set, just to make sure,” Aidala joked. “Obviously her physique, God bless you, you’ve worked out, you’ve earned that. And there are appropriate places to wear that but I wouldn’t wear that to church on Sunday.”

“But you’re completely comfortable in this?” Doocy asked Paige.

“I am.”

i'd say for a non video game related event like sxsw, yes it is.

Sxsw has a pretty heavy tech and vg presence. And they reportedly encouraged one of the cancelled panels to be more explicitly about videogames so they wouldn't cross over with the more general online harassment one with the Watson lady so it's not like they didn't want this in the first place.

Both buzzfeed and vox are threatening to pull out of SXSW because the festival shut down panels due to gamergate terrorism. One of the panel speakers also accused sxsw of coddling the gg people in order to create controversy and breaking the panel selection rules to let a gg panel in extremely late with no public comment period.

Hulk Krogan posted:

According to Arthur Chu, the GG panel was set up late once they found out about the harassment panel, and evidently SXSW approved it even though they applied late and even though SXSW people had already assured Chu and others that their panel wouldn't be considered.

The whole thing is pretty fishy. http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2015/10/27/this-is-not-a-game-how-sxsw-turned-gamergate-abuse-into-a-spectator-sport.html

Eh, I thought part of your sentence read kinda like Yoda but it was a dumb attempt at a joke so :shrug:

Back on an actual topic of sorts, though: Justice Obama. Is that at all a possibility? I mean, it could be a little while until a nomination were to occur, so I guess he could still rack up some speaking fees and whatnot before then, but I just don't see it happening. The frenzy it would cause, though :allears:

It's really frustrating to watch how easy hate speech can be made "reasonable" if the person pushing it just acts disingenuous enough. Like gamergate is very open with the fact it's a hate movement against women but if you say it's about video-game journalism ethics (which is an absurd thing to care about) then you get news organizations that are apparently unable to call it what it is. True "political correctness" is that in order to report on something that makes white males feel bad something really big and violent has to happen.

gamergate is the same thing punk rock's been doing since 1976: fighting valiantly to keep people out of the treehouse because when you define yourself by your outsider status other people joining in makes you lose it

it never works, people just make more dope treehouses and leave the weirdos who don't want to share in some bullshit garbage one made of cardboard and racism
