The Effects of Online Bullying

[A Hermit]

Needs more boobs.

I’ve always considered myself a feminist, but I used to be one of those teenagers who assumed the awesome ladies before me had solved everything. But Boobquake made me wake up. What I originally envisioned as an empowering event about supporting women’s freedoms and calling out dangerous superstitious thinking devolved into “Show us your tits!” I received sexual invitations from strangers around the country. When I appeared or spoke at atheist events, there was always a flood of comments about my chest and appearance.

So, faced with a choice between a little human empathy and compassion and the chance to make a boob joke you go with the boob joke.

Way to prove her point there Pappa you ignorant fuck.

You're wanting to get banned so you can run home to FTB or wherever and claim victim status, aren't ya, A Hermit?

It's the A+ way.

A Hermit,

With reference to this post, let me remind you again that personal insults are not allowed here (unless clearly in jest), This is a warning that any further breaches of this rule will result in a short suspension of your account.

Well boobquake was a success then. It proved we men are animals and thus those Iranian theocrats had a point after all.

Oh wait!

Comedy politics. Keep em coming.

Well it's a tactic that works so well for their critics....isn't it?

Who's claimed to be a victim here? Name names, I hear plussers are all about that.

That's more of a PZ thing.

I think A+ers at least have enough sense to not order people to shove decaying porcupines up their rectums. I wonder if that ever triggered something in a sexually abused person.

1. If sufficiently decayed, it may not be spiny any more. Slimy, sure, but not spiny...
2. Ordering is one thing, obeying is another...
3. In any case, I always prefer the old stand-by, "Go stick your head up a dead bear's bum"

Well, a short time back PZ finally stepped in and said enough with the porcupines. I think the current favorite may be "die in a fire". Which leads to the odd idea that telling someone to (perhaps) kill themselves or (perhaps) be murdered by an arsonist, isn't a threat. So carrying that thought forward, if someone writes, say, Watson or Jen, and says they hope they kill themselves, that's not a threat. I mean, unless the A+ people like wowbagger (the latest I know about) aren't above making internet threats to people - that would be hypocritical of them. Can't be.

Haven't heard that aul one in an age!

The bullying/threats/vitriol Richard Dawkins receives on a regular basis is well known and yet I don't see the bleeding heart brigade forming ranks behind him. I have to wonder why Jennifer McCreight or Rebecca Watson don't follow the same pattern. They've made themselves into public figures. They may have had traumatic/abusive childhoods, but so did Dawkins. So why the deferential treatment of their apparent inability to handle internet trolls? Is it because they are *gasp* women?

I don't know about deferential, but any sympathy for them might just be generated by the simple fact that they are being hounded and abused by people demonstrating exactly the same attitudes and tactics that they were complaining about in the first place........

The sheer irony of it is killing me.

Is that why you can't wait to get away?
