The Wow I Can't Believe That News Story Thread

[The Batlord]

This is why I avoid so many nerd forums. You get this ****. Why must nerds be like racist dogs who just were never properly socialized? Oh, I guess cause they were never properly socialized. Because I was properly socialized?

My complaints aren't that extreme. Go out with your friends and let off steam about a member of your family. But if one of your friends goes on a tirade about how awful your family member is, you're going to defend your family member.

So, your label of "misogynist" is incorrect.

"But I have a black friend."

Vehemently arguing against rape victims and women in general only 99.99% of the time doesn't reflect well on you. I'm fairly certain that my assessment of your views on women is accurate.

I don't argue against rape victims 99.99% of the time. Each case has to be judged on its own merit. And I should care what you think about me because . . . ?

You are a ****ing piece of ****. Someone has to say it. **** off with your insulting bs. I'm surprised you've not been banned with all your talk on this topic.

When each case comes out with virtually the same outcome, then you have to wonder if merit's merits merit merit. And I don't think that they do.

Nothing's saying that you should care, but that doesn't mean that what anyone is saying here is invalid.

Yeah you do. You relish the chance to defend your in-group against those sluts who ruined your life and took your kid from you.

Is this really how we want to handle this discussion?

Chula: This rape victim is going to help my team!
[merit]: She wasn't raped, quit white knighting!
Frownland: You hate women!
Batlord: He hates all the women in his life!
Kiiii: You're a piece of ****!

Ja, let's reign it in.

Personally I believe her, but I think that the revelation of her letter was heavily politicized and a dirty move. I doubt that he furthered that behaviour but it no less remains a part of his past.
