So you don't think psychological abuse is domestic violence? Do not have kids, please.
>So you don't think psychological abuse is domestic violence? It doesn't follow that making a distinction between the two concepts entails approval of instances of either one.

From his Patreon last year: As you know my patreon has declined from like $9k to under $1k because of the fucking idiots who embrace the ideology of, "If You Read It On the Internet, It Must Be True!" Ironically, this was the original slogan for the site, before I changed it to "The Internet Makes You Stupid." Both apply equally in this case. Nobody seems aware that anybody can allege anything. Nobody seems to give a…
Were his Exes convicted of anything, as he alleges?
Someone on twitter was talking about the Franz Ferdinand insane ripples of the man's decision to ban anime pornography on his site: 1. He bans it 2. One "moot" was then currently showing around his futaba channel clone "4chan" and not getting many bites 3. The pornography-obsessed people decide to abscond to 4chan en masse, determining the culture of /b/ and all that 4. This leads to the proliferation of fascism and…
There was a lot of well-founded animosity towards SomethingAwful in the early days of 4chan. How could you respect anybody who paid money to talk to people online? It was so contrary to the spirit of the internet. SA's brand of snarky balding catfather humour lives on in so many facets of culture, and they all suck hard. Most of Twitter and Reddit were colonised by it. Almost all garbage American comedy seems tinged…

He leaves behind a complicated legacy. It's important to note that credible allegations of domestic abuse lead him to sell SA in the past year, and this can't be set aside. At the same time, SA's influence on the modern internet can't be understated. The 'image macro' of early SA (maybe created by Lowtax himself, from what Fragmaster says in his video in the link) is the direct ancestor of today's common meme image--…
It's true, his forums had a huge indirect influence on modern US online culture, giving rise to so many projects and careers. Ironically, he failed to capitalise on his influential position unlike so many of his peers who sold off their online properties and disappeared from the public eye. If he'd taken a different approach, he'd probably now be sitting on media properties (or a fortune) worth tens of millions, and…
It wasn't for lack of trying (mangosteen).

I'm not talking about 2016, I'm talking about the crazy shit that has happened since then - most specifically in the tail end of 2020, where instead of dropping Trump like the bad acid trip that he was, much of the Republican party doubled down on qanonsense. As for Sanders, he didn't win, he hasn't taken over half the Democratic party, and the people in charge aren't even paying lip service to his platform.
Without getting too off-topic, I’d argue that the GOP has always been more flexible towards embracing ideological extremism than the Democratic Party has, and this trend has existed since Barry Goldwater at least. But back to SA culture and its innumerable offshoots and bastards: even if Chapo has comparatively less actual political influence than say Q did (someone posting on a 4chan offshoot), the dirtbag left subc…
I thought they just grew up. Any records they were really dismantled?

> When a crime is reported to the police they must believe what the victim is saying until they have a damn good reason not to. > If they started with a presumption of the victim making a false allegation very few domestic abuse crimes would ever get investigated, let alone prosecuted. I agree that these crimes must be investigated thoroughly. Is it really okay that men can be arrested based on allegations though? I…
Proof of guilt is judged in court. You think no one should be arrested before trial?
Aren't people supposed to go to prison after they're sentenced?

Do you suppose anyone ever committed suicide after wrongly being adjudged an abuser?
So you think it's possible this guy married three different women who all said he abused them, and at least one of them also tricked a judge into agreeing? Which scenario do you think is more likely: A) A man whose entire career and public persona was dedicated to being an asshole happened to be an actual asshole B) At least three women loved this guy enough to marry him and then decided to make up stories about how…
