Sexual Assault of Men Played for Laughs

newtboy says...

Edit: replying about the wrong video, my mistake.

I'm curious...in what way do they imply objectification is bad?
This is normalizing objectification.
It's not like someone saying jokingly "I'll kill you" and the office laughing, it's someone saying "I'll kill you" while sticking a knife into your liver and smiling, and the office laughing.
This isn't a joke about objectification, it's simply objectification, just like if they were all huge breasted sexy women in tight thin tank tops and little else.
If you want to excuse or allow objectification, do it. Someone will debate you on that. Don't just pretend it's not happening please. There's no discussion if one party denies reality.

I kind of swing the other way on this. We live in a cruel, violent, unjust world. Talking about that is not automatically an endorsement of it. Making jokes about it is part of talking about it and an important coping mechanism. Yes, talking and joking about it CAN be done in a way that encourages it, but it's NOT automatic.

As per your Toy Story examples, the ultimate take away for the young audience exposed to it is that the violence/torture was a clear cut bad thing. When someone in your office pulls a prank on someone and the other party responds by jokingly threatening to kill them for it they aren't normalizing murder. Nobody comes away from that interaction with the idea that murder is somehow more acceptable or less bad.

We need to relax a little bit about looking for micro-aggressions and 'bad' culture in every little thing that people say or joke about,

"He's got a knife!" (Points to discarded knife 20 ft away and continues to point his gun at bystanders, not just his suspect)
You've got a gun, asshole, and you're endangering the public with it. Should someone shoot you....for safety?
Having had a knife in their possession doesn't make a person criminal, dangerous, or threatening. It's simply an excuse to treat them that way.

Yep, she saved his life. That cop was clearly itching to shoot him....or someone. Dude needs retraining or reassigning to parking enforcement.

Vox: Why gamers use WASD to move

Mekanikal says...

An old EQ tale:

I was invisible and running through the Karanas one day when I noticed a young gnome near the gypsy camp. He was fighting a lion and though it looked like he would win the battle, being a fellow gnome, I decided to help the guy out.

I targeted the lion, clicked on my mesmerize spell, then started to type: "I'm mesmerizing the lion for you." I got as far as: "I'm " when I remembered that I had replaced my mesmerize spell with an Area of Effect mesmerize spell... and that I was standing next to an NPC enchantress. Gulp.

My movement keys are mapped to "w a s d" so I frantically stabbed at my keyboard, trying to MOVE and interrupt the spell.

I forgot that I was in typing mode.

The gypsy enchantress didn't like my attempt to mezz her so she promptly charmed me [IE Mind control] and made me go after the gnome I had been trying to save. I watched in horror as my peace-loving character, knife flailing like a crazed sushi chef, chased the little guy down and stabbed him to death.

I found my victim later and apologized profusely... I even gave him a nice weapon and a piece of armor. He was great about it, and laughed when I told him what happened.

He said he didn't know WHAT was going on. One minute he was fighting a lion, the next minute a strange gnome appeared out of NOWHERE, announced: "I'm wwwaaaddd", then sliced him up like Freddy Krueger.

How To Buy a Gun In Canada: Armed and Reasonable

Buck says...

200ish is our annual homicide by gun rate. 200ish is also our annual knife homicide rate.

I wish more people in both countries (especially the ones who have zero interest in guns) would take a few mins to learn what is and was is not true about them. It is almost impossible to find any unbiased pro or anti gun information, so when it's packaged well like this video, people should take advantage to learn. (but many just are not interested as I am.... I am pretty biased being an owner) *promote

I can't figure out what caused the cyclist to fall over. Was he intentionally swerving to trip that running lady? I have watched that bit over and over and I just can't get it to make any sense...

Coffee Will Get You A New Car When The End Times

ChaosEngine jokingly says...

What kind of wussy-assed apocalypse is this? In the end times, murder will be my primary currency!

Want some coffee? boom, headshot!
Bread? stab you with a butter knife!
New Car? I'll run you over!
Whiskey? oh thanks.... just kidding, I'm murdering you.

I'd give my HOUSE for a packet of coffee. It's... it's like they know me.

BSR says...

Not sure the knife in the mouth was lethal by itself but it did compound with the other injuries which probably caused him pass out. Mouth to mouth resuscitation is probably not an option.

jmd says...

this is fairly unimpressive when you only show the attempts that stick the knife. Do all that without the cuts.
