ORIGINAL: Awareness That strikes me as the kind of pointless Twitter advocacy which achieves very little. Nick's received nothing but opprobrium in this forum anyway, so more of the same really makes no difference. Social feedback only works if people have an investment in the social community That's not quite intellectually honest. Several people, myself included, answered this thread with actual input to the discussion. My first comment on it was asking him if he had posted the same thread before, because I could have sworn we had the same subject way back when SxxxxofUxxx was still posting. quote:
I doubt that. If the target was a dude, there'd be no problem - certainly there's no shortage of anti-male bigotry in here. And there's very little difference between referring to pictures on someone's profile (which the women in here do often) and short-cutting the process by actually linking to them. Nick's probably breached some kind of site rule with a direct link, but ultimately this is pretty much in line with the kind of tactics employed by women in here whose idea of criticism is to refer to someone's profile and then criticise the way they look. When have you ever seen me say anything that made you think I have ever thought it was cool to post another persons pics or links to those pics on a public forum? You know exactly how I feel about such invasions of privacy and if you don't, I'm going to say that one is on you, because you haven't paid enough attention. quote:
People have the right to operate within site guidelines, but given that you need a fetlife profile to view the pictures and that anyone here who can view them can go search out her profile for themselves and that consequently the pictures are public to with a fet profile, I really don't think you can seriously imply he's done something terrible. Certainly I doubt stef gives a shit. He *didn't* operate within site guidelines. If I had Facebook and you did, too, and I found you pics on that site, should I be linking them here? No. If I did, you'd have every right to be telling me that I was a scum sucker for doing it. What you think Stef thinks about it isn't the point, either. Unless he asked Stef if he had her consent to post the links to her other profile, he's in the wrong. quote:
I agree, but stef doesn't really do anything here except spout vitriol at anyone with a cock, so it's not like there's a moral high ground here. Does it really matter to you what kind of poster Stef is that she shouldn't have the same member right to privacy as everybody else? It shouldn't matter if you like her or you don't. If you wouldn't consider it ok to do somebody that you liked, you should feel the same about it, no matter which poster it happened to be. quote:
Pretty much everyone reacts because of who he is, not the content he presents. First to admit that I've told him in the past, could he, please, stop with the links where folks are screaming or it's just some dumb heavy metal noise at ridiculous volume levels. Not only do I consider the volume annoying, somebody writing a song (to put it kindly) doesn't verify anything more than someone's opinion. quote:
*shrug* Lucy is pretty much doing the same thing these days with constant links to her idea of how men are terrible people, but she's a woman so she gets a pass. If you are referring to the Brock Turner threads, I'd be shocked if anybody really thought that sentence was justice. When you catch people in the act, they should go to jail. quote:
I think you'll find mean personal attacks has been the standard here for some time, it's just that some people do it obliquely and they've been allowed to get away with it. I think criticising someone's appearance is crossing the line, but Nick's certainly not the first person to do it so becoming outraged when HE does it tends to smack of hypocrisy. Sorry. It's not hypocrisy when violating somebody's privacy comes into play. It's a BS move and decent people shouldn't be thinking it's ok.
