Man Rave, remember when you used to be a mod, that was like the coolest **** ever.

That was once upon a long time ago in a different lifetime of mine.

**** you. Did you read the story? She did not "make a big deal about it." The man who anonymously pressured her to flash him sent the pictures to everyone in her hometown after she refused to service him sexually. The people at her school chased her with the pictures all the way across the country. If she were a boy, do you think this would have happened? The man would have been blamed for being a pedophile. But we live in a culture where women's bodies are inherently shameful and where one mistake as a teenager can make you a pariah no matter where you go.

What the **** is wrong with you?

lmao

gotta love members who are bad at sarcasm and condescend those who dont pick up on it

lol

Saints Row is the best sandbox game series.

Infamous says hi.

This is the same person who made jokes about the Aurora shooting a week after it happened.

[Locked In My Asylum]

Autismic, that was pretty low-brow and rude. The girl killed herself for crying out loud!

[The Admiral]

Hey, Autismic? I don't know what anyone told you, but there is no such thing as a person who tells jokes about a tragedy who is cool, especially not on the internet.

I knew you were a good person at heart, jb.

So I'm banned from /v/ for three days for making a thread about video games. I should have known that was a bad idea. Oh well, time to reset the router. I wanted to rename my network, anyways.

I don't have that Simon Pegg clapping gif, but I don't know which I'd apply it to in this case. Until then, have a video link to the theme from the greatest game I've never played.

I have been thinking about this game a long time so I guess it's age rating would be 7+. This game is not for sluggish Pokemon players who just press a button. This game is supposed to be high paced and attentive. In english money which is pounds it would probably be £42.00 and in american money it would be $45.00 it is resonible.

Best marketing skills ever.

[Rezzo]

Best marketing skills ever.

Damn those American ports, they're always cheaper...

[The Admiral]

It's funny because for some reason I think that 42 GBP is around $80, and $60 is already way too ****ing expensive.

Especially for something that's on a disc. Someone tried to argue with me once that games were as expensive now as they were in the past and it was just inflation, but since then we've switched from cartridges to discs; the only thing that's on something that would qualify as a "cartridge" now is the 3/DS. Discs are far cheaper than cartridges, and digital distribution is even cheaper, because you also don't have to get cases and print up inserts and/or manuals.

Yet Nintendo likes to charge €10-€15 dearer on the eShop than what I normally pay for a physical game.

[Amiちゃん]

I was waiting for something like this to pop up.

I believe she could have stopped herself from everything straight from her boob flash. She did it on a chat room, its pretty obvious to a lot of people that she could have shut the damn computer down. Yet, she had to make a big deal about it. If she commited suicide because of that, she never would have stood a chance in the real world unless she turned into a stripper.

pretty much this on the subject.

and i had to laugh at the stripper part lol

[Pesky Persian]

It's pretty absurd to agree with Autismic about this because his reasoning is ridiculously flawed. Turning off her computer wasn't going to stop those people from what they did. Whether or not you agree with her exposing herself to strangers on the internet is irrelevant. Nobody deserves to be harrassed to the point of self-harm and eventual suicide. I don't care if what she did was a one-time thing or something she did regularly. What people did to her was dehumanizing and disgusting. The people who think it's funny should feel ashamed of themselves.

At the same time, she didn't have to flash herself. I mean, it's a computer. The people she was talking to were just words on a screen. Unless she knew him personally, I think this whole situation would have been advoidable. I feel bad for bullying victims and I feel sorry for her.

At the last part of the post I replied to, I thought he was being sarcastic so that's why I laughed.

This. and I was being sarcastic about the stripper part.

Other than that, I feel absolutely no sympathy whatsoever for her. You guys never even read the part about how it was the internet and she didn't have to flash anyone. She made that choice, which is why she was bullied to begin with. if she never made the choice to flash them, she would still be alive today.

So what if she didn't have to? People make mistakes sometimes. That doesn't justify what those people did to her.

[Autis-misc]

So what if she didn't have to?

Then none of what happened would have happened. if she stopped it from the starting point, like I said, we would have 1 more person alive on this planet. It's too perfect for people to say it was a mistake, if she agreed to it when asked, it wasn't a mistake.

On another stand point, she engaged in sex with another girls boyfriend. This was terrible, but she could have said "No" if the boob flash never happened. If she was stupid enough to flash over the internet, then how could you be even more stupid? By doing that exact statement.

[Jb]

wow

ok

She flashed here boobs. She shouldn't have done it. But that doesn't justify what those people did to her and what those people did to her doesn't justify suicide.

That's really all there is to it.

I haven't mentioned anything about the bullying. In fact, I know what its like to undergo that sort of thing. I'm just saying all of it could have been stopped at the root.

Making stupidly naive choices =\= deserving of inhumane treatment.

You can do something when asked and it still be a mistake.

I don't care if she showed her breasts to one person or a hundred people. I don't care if she slept with ten guys who are already in relationships (funny how no one puts blame on him for his actions). No one deserves to be treated that way. No one deserves repeated harassment, especially not to that degree. Following her from place to place to make her life miserable was horrible. How many people have to put up with that "in the real world" for years?

[KickAsh]

, if she agreed to it when asked, it wasn't a mistake.

That's......not what a mistake is.

It was a bad decision but what the people did to her was ridiculous and cruel. Stop trying to defend your shitty post with shitty arguments.

[Amiちゃん]

No one's saying that she deserves to be bullied. Calm the **** down.

Perhaps not directly, but what Autismuc is doing is classic victim blaming.

[Un0va]

I'm sure you have a lot to offer on the subject.
