This is a normal post In what way?

This is a normal post I'm not gonna have a discussion of the subjectivity of humour with you.
But I will say that's clearly intended as a throwaway joke, whether anyone finds it funny or not.

This is a normal post is your perceived clarity not in itself subjective?

This is a normal post To some extent yes.
But I'd say that given the context, you'd have to either be pretty thick or willfully obtuse not to also see that.

This is a normal post You seem to say that a lot,
as though its weighty and thoughtful. Is it a placeholder, or the end of the discussion?

This is a normal post I believe the context was
that Jess Philips was talking about receiving threats on Twitter, and he @d her to say he'd not rape her, then encouraged a pile-on.

"Banter"

This is a normal post Did he encourage a pile on?

(eViLegion Chief Commissioner of the Scottish Lunacy Board, Fri 10 May 2019, 11:28, Reply)
This is a normal post Either he intended the message to only be seen by Jess Philips,
or he intended it to be seen by his followers, and he must know that his fans will pile on because they always do. I mean, why else would he put "Please do not contact the subjects of any of my videos, ever" on his YouTube channel if he wasn't looking to shirk responsibility for something he knows will happen anyway - it's a shitty disclaimer. And if he didn't expect his fans to see the message, what response do you think he wanted to his 'joke' in the first place?

Besides, he @ed in someone with something he knew would upset her, which I'd say *contextually* makes it not "clearly intended as a throwaway joke".

He's a bully. Most bullying behaviour is technically 'jokes' - bullies laugh when they bogwash someone. I'm not sure when something being a joke became an excuse for anything. I wouldn't read it as a *literal* rape threat, but I would read it as malicious communications.

This is a normal post Spot on about the bully 'jokes'.
The test is, if you 'joke' back they get very upset.

This is a normal post Well, he did joke back,
and she did get upset,
so you're correct.

This is a normal post I didn't say it was a tasteful joke.
Also he didn't bogwash anyone (which would of course actually be assault), which is an entirely different thing.

And also, the answer is no, he did literally the opposite of inciting a pile on.

This is a normal post You said it was clearly a joke given the context.
The context was @ing someone in with abuse, which clearly falls under the malicious communications act.

You haven't said why it is clearly a joke given that context.

This is a normal post I'm not sure it's even technically abuse.
There's no threat there. There's no profanity. According to case law it would not be considered grossly offensive. The only thing it actually contains is an implication that she's ugly. I think you'd need some pretty interesting chicanery to actually classify this as abuse from a legal standpoint.

This is a normal post Try posting notes through
your neighbours' letterbox with his joke on them. See how you get on.

This is a normal post Just because I wouldn't post it through my neighbours post box,
doesn't mean it isn't a joke. Your face for example.

This is a normal post Don't you get it Lady?
Something that disproportionately effects one side of the population - many on a day to day level because of trauma - is funny to the other side!

Da boom tish. /s


As a side note; I think it's probably funny to some ill informed, lucky or naive people because they don't understand that yes; at various parties, functions, "comings of age" men have pressured other men into raping women.

[EDIT: You're a man, because you hurt someone who isn't. Is probably the most essential motto of this ethos/thinking.]

Also, a bit rich coming from you Coulter, don't you think?

This is a normal post Nope
I'm the fluffiest bunnie in the whole warren. And I've never found 'I'd smash the back doors off that' or 'wouldn't even rape her' remotely amusing. The guy is a fucking cock and deserves ever milkshake he gets.

This is a normal post It's mainly who the words were said to that I found funny.
She really does deserve worse.

This is a normal post I've never minded.
Does this you mean you're actually concerned what people around think of you? That would be tragic for many reasons.
 (eViLegion Chief Commissioner of the Scottish Lunacy Board, Fri 10 May 2019, 19:29, Reply)
This is a normal post Mods?
Does Jess Philips deserve 'worse' than rape threats for the crime of not agreeing with vile-edgelord?
 (I helped save b3ta! The Ann Coulter Fan Club Babylon is burning at, Fri 10 May 2019, 19:27, Reply)
This is a normal post That's also a terrible strawman.
1. It was never a threat.

2. That isn't the reason.

Why you so bummed dude? I thought being an edgelord was kinda your thing? Anyway just click ignore and it's over, instead of replying with something you know doesn't make any sense.

This is a normal post 'She really does deserve worse'
1. By saying you *wouldn't * rape someone, you're saying you would rape someone else
2. Then saying you would rape them if you were drunk enough is a rape threat
3. It's vile,stupid and unfunny whether you accept the above or not
4. saying she deserves worse is bone-heaed , tone-deaf vile, stupid etc
5. Why is the onus on me to leave the room rather than making you stop saying shit - after all if this was a pub car park at closing time, you would not be saying this.
6. Stop talking shit.

This is a normal post
1. Not actually correct.
2. Arguable, though I disagree in this case.
3. Subjective.
4. Subjective.
5. You don't have to read it or reply. This is not even slightly like a room, nor a pub car park. You're dangerously close to being a hard man on the internet.
6. You too.

Too many things to reply to, its easy to miss a few or not give them all due consideration.
