Extra Extra: Freaks flaunt freaky actions at Con!

[irok]

Well, extreme violence would mean broken limbs, concussion and something that would leave them disabled for live. Simply beating the shit out them and breaking their noses wouldn't constitute extreme violence, so there.

OH, that's right, violence isn't always extreme, for a moment there I thought I was out of options.

Assholes will be assholes I guess, asking security to do something would be the only other option and see if you cant get these pricks bounced.

 

[Erttheking]

Kind of sounds like the most level headed course of action would be to kick out of the convention and tell them to not come back. Really sounds like the best thing to do.

 

[Erttheking]

Que the "victim-blaming" accusations here, I don't care. This shit pisses me off. When women like this play the sexual harassment card. It does nothing but fucking demean the victims of actual fucking sexual harassment.

So you get pulled into a shitty interview by a couple of pricks who make juvenile jokes. Walk away, inform security, end of fucking story. Don't try to make this out as anything more serious than that. This reeks of people who had drunk sex and then cry rape the next day. It's disgusting to use something that genuinely affects other people in a horrible way to fuel your own (very minor in comparison) problems.

And yeah, I'm an asshole, victim blamer, etc etc etc.

You know I really don't get the concept of people being pricks, the people they were a prick too mentioning they were pricks, and then people getting mad at the people for informing people that the guys were pricks. I just don't get it. When reading the article it turns out that these people were doing the crap that they pulled on her multiple times with other people, guys certainly sound like creepers to me. She got the contact information about one of them and what did she do with it? Encourage people to report the guy to con security...I really don't see the problem here. It looks like this guy may be a paid journalist who is walking around repeatedly making creepy comments to people they are "interviewing" and I don't see the downside to these getting some publicity. Just jackass and unprofessional behavior.

 

[Thaluikhain]

Yeah, kick them out right away. Sexual harassment should not be tolerated.

Secondly, tell everyone you've kicked them out, and that sexual harassment will not be tolerated.

 

[Doclector]

Okay, slow down here. Or not. What did they actually say? Because obviously, if they just took them to a back room and made sexist comments, then obviously, they're assholes, and should be flung into the damn sun, but at the moment, all I have is some angry people saying that they made sexist comments and no specifics named other than the threats of violence suggesting that it was really, really bad.

That all said, I do get a feeling if it was as bad as I'm getting the idea that it was, I'm gonna see it on "What the fuck is wrong with you" anyways.

Oh hey, a source.

*reads*

Wow.

Trolling or sexual desperation even beyond my lows? Who knows. One thing's for sure, I will definitely be seeing them mentioned on "What the fuck is wrong with you"

However, I do have to dock points for the use of text on a similiarly coloured background. Am I the only one who had to squint?

No, I had problems aswell.

This is like that KSI controversy we had a few years ago with this video:


Questions like this are definitely a little offensive, but as long as the "interviewer" isn't harassing them, it's nothing to really get worked up about. Definitely not "ball-kick" worthy.

If we're gonna "rage" about this, where's the rage when Borat did his schtick?

 

[Orange Avarice]

Bloody hell what can of worms was opened here? Look OP, there will always be 2 kinds of people, so you'll never reach a mutually agreed upon answer.
I say they should be more mature and respectfully functioning members of society. As for corrective course action, it depends on their history. If they've done this crap in the past (or similar actions) and they have been talked to/offered help but got no where, THEN you resort to violence. There is no 2 ways around it people, if other means of help has been tried, you hurt 'em. Pain is the universal teacher, just look at human history.
Though, going down that road results in a lot of unnecessarily idiotic court dates and finger pointing at YOU being in the wrong. I swear this planet is slowly but surely losing it's grip on common sense.

 

[anthony87]

Yeesh, I'm amazed that some people can reach their keyboards from all the way up on their high horses. Anyways, wasn't there a similar "issue" around this time last year? A youtube video or something?

 

[sageoftruth]

A guy makes a joke about creampies (because women and he comes quickly, haha, xd, so funny) and people want to beat him up or kick him in the dick?

Get a grip. If you think that's a justified "punishment" for this crime that's hardly worth the name you've clearly lost your connection to reality.

Sorry to be so frank but theres no point in sugar coating it.

Assholes like him deserve a beating, there's no way to sugarcoat that. It's not as if you can expect it to learn, kick it out of the con and it'll just go somewhere else. Beat it, maybe it'll be afraid to try again, it's not as if you can teach it decency.

I dunno. Some of those guys tend to be pretty misanthropic. Give them another reason to hate humanity and they'll probably just get worse.

 

[ThreeName]

So they are just talking and being dicks? You can just walk away, what are they gonna do, stop you against your will on camera?

Go watch a Japanese Gameshow.

Boy, we dun' take kindly to y'ur level-headed logic types 'round 'ere.

'less you git outraged over minor incidents that can be easily solved, it's best you jus' move along.

 

[WindKnight]

They'd harassed multiple con-goers, and looking into the general background, they'd used Illegitimately gained ID's to make it look like they were with a radio station to get access to the con to do their harassment. And when they were called on it, they promptly cut and burn,. with their youtube channel 'man banter' being deleted as they went into hiding.

I've seen at least two reports of personal experiences from these guys, and that in of itself is two too many even if you don't consider the number of girls they may have harassed, and the fact there were teenage girls attending the con.

 

[evilneko]

If you believe he deserves a beating - sorry, I guess I should call him "it" since apparently he's lost his right to be seen as a human being now, again, your connection to reality, please do try and get it back - what the fuck would you do to people who actually harass others? You know, who do more than make jokes about creampies to make people feel awkward and do so repeatedly? What about people who commit other crimes? And where is the connection between this guys actions and him deserving to get his face smashed in?

I'm going to have to agree with this, even though I don't often agree with Smash.

Disproportionate Retribution for a small infraction is an anime trope that shouldn't be applied to real life. The incident as described doesn't warrant physical violence beyond a good slap.
