The entirety of furry twitter is sighing over this right now. Not a good look for the fandom at all.
You guys must feel great being shit on by half the posts in this thread on top of it

What self-righteousness.I know it is... my point was that this particular metaphor is usually reserved for times when a person is taking it too far to defend something obviously problematic.
But I guess your choice of metaphors fits with the general hyperbole and self-righteousness on display ITT.
I'm surprised that 75 year old man didn't pick up on the ironic toxic masculinity
Your arguments are flawless... oh wait.
But you are just confirming how people will defend and argue in favor of clear offensive language because you like the person.
The term pissy is a problem as it's using female demoralised to paint someone as passive, submissive, unable to stand up for themselves, etc... which obviously is negative toward actual female human beings and can perpetuate sexist ideas.
Telling a person to suck you dick doesn't have the same problematic undertones. It's rude, but it's not perpetuating sexist ideals.
Do you really not see the difference?
The implication was that I was being self-righteous. I'm aware of what I posted.
And you're obviously here to stir the pot, good try but we're done here.

it's interesting to see the double standard in resetera's overall response to this case and the arenanet case on the one hand, and the james gunn case on the other
in two of these, the consensus seems to support someone being stupid on twitter losing their job, while in the other there is overwhelming support for the person being stupid on twitter later losing their job
i wonder what is the factor that explains this discrepancy
good to see the nasa guy being reasonable about this
Social media is nuts. I think it was a dick move for the guy take oublic umbrage with what she said, even if he didn't make her lose the internship. Going after someone for some victimless language on social media is lame. That's the risk of social media though. But he definitely made up for it by getting her a better position.
She's probably the only NASA intern with a direct line to Homer Hickam. Sounds like an alpha move to me.
I don't get this mindset tbh, if you do something wrong then you probably deserve to get told on. Telling somebody to suck your dick is unacceptable especially when all they said was "language" so even though she wasn't actually "narc'd" she fully deserved to be.Whoever narc'd on her is a fucking tool. Hope she gets her position back.
Thank you.Stop making inflammatory generalizations in reference to subcultures or drawing conclusions about people on the basis of an avatar.
Only context this works in a positive light is in the sack lolLooks that way. Never in my life have I meet anyone who has used that term for happiness or excitement.
I'm glad she got her internship back, it's a good resolution with a strong lesson for them about social media. It's kinda scary to see so many posters in this thread wanting to see her fail so badly, is seeing people fail that much of a drug to people?
What's up with all of the "woke" people on twitter blaming Homer?

Goddamn she's a dumbass. And she's still accepted at NASA? Christ lol
