Wow, talk about knee jerk. The internet sure is crawling with hateful people thank God the real world isn't like that.

Mock is part of the real world, to me. Not a bunch of random strangers on the comments section of an internet article.

I don't think you or anyone here is a douchebag. I do think it's narrow-minded dipshittery to constantly suggest that all female victims of famous people are groupies or that they signed up for it to get something in return. Or to suggest that being gay makes boys/men targets who aren't as true of victims as other boys/men. Or to suggest that men who speak out strongly against sexual harassment are not masculine. Or to label black people who take to the streets to protest police brutality and racism as thugs, while also regarding high-profile black people who instead do it silently as equally worthless, etc........ Running themes.

They're all people, no less than you or I. Some are generally big assholes. And some are generally decent people who make valid points.........if you actually listen to what they're saying. Even when it's worded casually or politely, it sometimes does get really discouraging hearing people and the issues they're addressing being looked down on all the time unless they're straight, white, gun-owning, politically conservative men (many of whom are generally decent people who make valid points too, in my experience, while some are generally big assholes).

Anyway, that constant minimization of millions of people comes across as hateful to me and sometimes deserves to be called out, in my opinion. But, I'll give it a rest. I don't want to come across as a mean hateful bitch when that's not reflective of where I'm coming from.
