An article about why men should not have opinions about sexual abuse. https://www.themarysue.com/minnie-driver-matt-damon-rebuttal/. So by this logic the only persons that can ever talk about something bad are persons that directly experienced that.If you're a person that never went through whatever bad thing you can never have an opinion or give advice.So next time someone talks about bad things happening in Syria or Darfur tell them 'Hey you didn't directly experience it so shut up.'Let's see how that plays out.
Also i think they missed the point on what Matt Damon was trying to say.Basically not all crimes are equal just because some behaviours are bad doesn't mean they're equally bad and we need a scale of what is bad and what is worse so things don't get out of hand.You know tried to apply some logic.

Mary Sue exceptional person Kaila Hale-Stern writes of the outcome on the Slenderman stabbing case: https://www.themarysue.com/slender-man-waukesha/

The article's title tells you all you need to know, about both it and the obviously esteemed Ms. Hale-Stern:
25-Year Sentence for Teen In “Slender Man” Case Is the Real Horror Story

The comments on the article are pretty good about taking her to task for this piece of shit 'journalism', so all I can say here is this: this isn't about what's right or wrong in terms of punishment for Anissa Weier, this is ALL about Hale-Stern and other TMS fangirls seeing way, WAY too much of themselves in Weier.
 
I'm kinda surprised TMS hasnt got in on the salt fest over The Last Jedi. You'd think they'd jump at the chance to spit out more clickbait crying about queerbaiting and how a strong female character was RUINED FOREVER because she empathized with an evil white dude and whatever other shit I've seen SJWs whining about.

I was under the impression most social justice weenies loved TLJ because of the subplot about a dangerhair taking command and telling a dang dirty male to pound salt.

I think she was initially supposed to be a purple-haired and purple-skinned near-human, but it didn’t work out too well.

Some like Dobbo feel like that, but others are loosing their shit because Stormpilot sank and Rey might've wanted Kylo's tiddies. Last I knew the Tumblr SW fandom was in full meltdown, and even Medium put out a piece of whiny clickbait bitching about TLJ.

Considering TMS went shrieking lunatic over Steve Rogers and Bucky not banging in Civil War I fully expected them to hop on the SJW tlj screamfest.

Sweaty post-sword fight sex would've made TLJ a way better movie tbh.

What cartoons have Louis CK doing voicework? The only one off the top of my head that I know of is Home Movies (he was the voice of Brendon's divorced father) and no one has seen that show in ages (it's on Hulu and sometimes Cartoon Network airs it on Adult Swim, but not that often, mostly because they'd rather rerun Family Guy, Bob's Burgers, King of the Hill, and Robot Chicken).

Apparently he was in Gravity Falls, which is probably what the Mary Sue is referring to.
 
I always think it's funny when SJWs try and insist Kylo would be this alt-right literal Hitler goobergraper misogynist. If anything I think he'd be some edgy otherkin thing with Columbine headmates who goes around calling himself an anarchist or a commie or whatever political affiliation is trendy with the crowd who wants to freak out mommy and daddy.
 
For fuck’s sake.

Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom director J.A. Bayona has stated that the sequel to Jurassic World will contain “the biggest set-piece ever done for a Jurassic movie.” I mean, that’s cool, but will we fix the sexism problem? (via /Film)

Jurassic World ended the frachises' weird sexism where they refused to kill off female characters though, something that last I knew TMS got massively assmad about. That's literally the only example of sexism I can think of in the JP franchise.

If TMS really wants to get assmad about sexism in this franchise, they should be going after The Lost World. Sarah Harding was a doey-eyed moron who consistently made amateur mistakes in wilderness survival despite the movie billing her as an expert field researcher. This is especially annoying considering her counterpart in the Crichton novel actually was a competent, independent-minded badass.

But no one cares about movies made twenty years ago, so they go after the new ones for clicks.

I don’t know... I know that having the main female lead stay on high heels, without them breaking or her twisting an ankle running from a T-rex, seemed like a pretty dumb thing in my mind. It was so noticeable that it bugged me during the first watching of it.

Eh, in a movie about dinosaurs brought back to life killing people a woman not breaking her ankle because she ran in heels isn't exactly what I would consider the most unrealistic thing ever. Plus it's not like she really had an opportunity to find a different kind of shoe to wear.

sex mods are serious businesses

Has Skyrim’s Modding Community Become a Misogynistic Nightmare?

WARNING: Many of the links here are NSFW, due to an absurd amount of nudity.
We’re all used to seeing outlandishSkyrim mods. (The Thomas the Tank Engine characters as a replacement for dragons is a classic.) Good-natured, mod-based hijinks are par for the course. What you might not be expecting, however, is the troubled current state of modding culture. The modding scene is getting frighteningly misogynistic, and it only takes a cursory glance at the Nexus to see it.

Nexus Mods, lovingly known as “the Nexus” by users, has been the center for Skyrim modding for some years now. It’s where every quality mod has been hosted since the game’s release. For mods that feature adult content, most know to head to the website known as (NSFW site) LoversLab. Over the years, the Nexus has been generally good at filtering adult material out from the rest of the content, and urging people to post adult mods elsewhere.
Recently, however, the Nexus has been overrun with adult content, hiding in among the other material. It’s gotten to the point where high-quality mods are being pushed out of the spotlight in favor of this adult content.
Adult content is all well and good, and it has its place alongside all other content. The problem here is that this content notably focuses on adult themes with a misogynistic lean–women followers with comically sized butts and breasts, followers that are either dressed in almost nothing or are nude, or … well, things like this, just for starters:

“Followers” in Skyrim are, as the name suggests, characters that are willing to follow you around the world and assist you in battle. They’re meant to be warriors that fight by your side and help save the world. Somehow, it’s hard to image that developer Bethesda meant players to have these types of followers.
Just within the past year, thesegems have been posted on the Nexus (warning: all the following links are NSFW): a “buxom wench” with impossibly huge breasts, this follower made to look like a young sexualized girl, a group of followers labeled “Harem”, and a mod that changes every NPC in the game female (for clearly unsavory reasons). Not to mention a mod that adds laughable“boob and butt physics”.
If you went to even a few of those links, you have my apologies. I’d urge you to go look at some pictures of puppies to recover.
Many of the worst examples sneak into other mods, like this otherwise innocuous hair replacement mod that uses a model of a sexualized young girl. And if you’re looking to download new clothing for your female character, it’s difficult to avoid clothing that isn’t (NSFW site)designed ridiculously. (Though you’ll notice the men’s clothing in the same mod is just fine.)
These mods clearly aren’t just adult. They’re aimed towards a very particular audience with a very particular mindset. Namely, the mods are aimed at male-identifying folks who are seeking to objectify those who are female-identifying.
Unfortunately, if you start to delve into the realm of base NPC model improvement, it’s almost impossible to avoid mods that make all the women characters look like super models, while the male characters end up looking roughly unchanged. You’ll see very few sexualized male characters; there are few modifications at all for things like male bodies or male faces.
The follower mods remain the worst of the worst. If you’re new to Skyrimmodding, you’d be forgiven for wondering why this is the case. After some digging in the early days of my foray into the Skyrim modding scene (digging I still regret), I found out why. LoversLab has an “animation framework” known as (NSFW site) SexLab, and as you might have guessed, it allows the user to have fully-animated sex with anyone inSkyrim.
So those followers? Yep. Glorified blow-up dolls. Suddenly, the implications of those sexed-up teenage followers are pretty clear.

It gets even more gruesome when paired with the download rates. These mods are being pushed to the Top Files of the Month list because they’re being downloaded in droves. Thousands of followers, designed as unwitting sex partners, are being uploaded and downloaded voraciously. People are out there downloading these digital blow-up dolls as quickly as people make them.
Mod authors who produce other content are rapidly becoming frustrated and are pulling away from the community. Those who haven’t jumped ship are either very devoted to the game, or are fine with the growing misogyny of Skyrim’s mod content. I’ve modded Skyrim for years now, and this is undoubtedly the worst the Nexus has ever looked. It remains to be seen if anything can be done to stop the onslaught of misogynistic mod content.
Skyrim modding is driven by supply and demand: people make and download the mods they want to play. What does it say about the gaming community, and our society as a whole, that these are the types of mods that are most downloaded?
