    Bullshit. Violent crime overwhelmingly victimizes men. Something like 75% of violent crime victims are men. I'll dig up citations if anyone wants to contest this. It's pretty well …

    This is the kind of one-hit wonder that you simply can't imitate. It amuses due to its novelty. Repeat it, and it's gone.

    If a false allegation has been made publicly, then it must be debunked publicly as well. Otherwise, it remains as such in people's minds. It's both illegal and immoral.

    If you artificially create an environment that empowers minorities to harass straight white men without consequence, of course you'll get more minorities. It's not exactly embedded…

    There's nothing the least bit lightweight about shaming and defaming someone of illegal behavior, while denying them the right to defend themselves.

    Print a QR Code for SecureDrop in every issue of the newspaper. Hell, feature it as part of a story announcing SecureDrop the first time you print it. Then just print it in a consi…

    It's subtly otherkinphobic that you limited the discussion to human beings.

    > Anyways, I would just say "sorry" on the spot Would you? Let's test it. Your whole comment is a subtle -ism because I say so. Apologize for it and retract it immediately.
