TED Talks - Monica Lewinsky: The price of shame

JustSaying says...

Look @00Scud00, Lewinski's talk is about shame and cybermobbing. She experienced the latter because of her actions and as a result, when she talks about online -abuse, she views it through the prism of her own lifestory, one that is about shame. It is similar to Tyler Clementi, whom she talked about.
However, at the end of the day, her talk is about cyberbullying, online abuse and mob-behaviour.
What connects her and Sarkeesian is cyberbullying and misogyny. They both expierenced that without a doubt.
The big difference is, Lewinsky did something wrong, she enganged in adultery. It may be excusable because she was young and in a relationship with very uneven powerdynamics, it may be understandable because people do fall in love and cheat but it was wrong. The problem is that a matter that should concern only a handful of people became a media event because of the politics involved. That lead to slutshaming and embarrassing her not just online but by all media.
Her case is special because she was the first person to get such an response online and that is what she focuses on in her talk. It's not just about the media (be it print or TV), it's especially about the internet. That is why Clementi is in part so important to her.
Sarkeesian on the other side didn't do something wrong. She started to talk publically about the way the media, especially games, treat and view women from a (sane IMO) feministic point of view.
The end result is disastrous. She experienced a backlash that was not only the highest degree of misogyny, it was also a prime example of a group of people online lashing out at somebody. Cyberbullying and online abuse at its worst.
There is the connection between the two. Sarkeesian wasn't slutshamed, she just got called 'slut' and 'whore'. She didn't have private, sexual details of her life revealed online, it was just her adress and getting rape-threats.
The connection between the two women is online abuse.

Actually, Sarkeesian got it worse. She just did a job but Lewinsky sucked off a married man. Monica didn't deserve what she got, that level of humiliation and hatred. She made a stupid mistake, she made a human mistake. The price she paid was unbearably, unfairly high. I'm sorry for her.
Anita just talked about a topic she felt strongly about. People online threatened her with bodily harm. That's worse.

@dag mentioned Justine Sacco. Her case is completely different from those other two women. Somehow, Monica Lewinsky still talked about her. That's why her TED Talk is so good, she talks about a problem that exists mainly in the online world nowadays.
Cyberbullying. Mobmentality. Onlineabuse.

Tom Hiddleston dances in Korea

eric3579 says...

He dances better then he acts. Celebrity(fan boy) worship is annoying. Don't kid yourself. Know different them Justin Bieber worship. Same type of talent IMO.

-edit-
I have no idea. Maybe the guy can actually act(although I wouldn't consider playing Loki as good acting). Any idiot can play a super hero role (imo) I just hate super hero flicks. They are such shit usually as films go.

ELDERS REACT TO MORTAL KOMBAT FATALITIES (React-Mini)

ChaosEngine says...

Because this isn't that hard, and frankly, it's not even that creative.

Granted, there's some skill in the animation.
And there are some sorta funny (in a really dark and twisted way), vaguely inventive, ways of killing people, but it's nothing a bunch of stoned teenagers couldn't come up with.

The point is that what game developers do requires knowledge and skill, but they're not geniuses.*

You could try putting them to work solving the great issues of our time (climate change, overpopulation, poverty, hunger, Justin Bieber, etc), but they really wouldn't do any better than the people already working on those problems.

BTW, in case you weren't grossed out enough before, @ 2:02 the two characters are a father and his daughter.

* Well, some of them are, but they're geniuses in their field.

"Here are these incredibly creative people.
These are people that could change the world, and I go, why are you putting your energy into really gratuitous and obscene violence?"

Something about the human psyche that is really messed up - It could be the burst of adrenalin we get when we're grossed out.

But she is right, imagine what programmers could do if they put their minds to major issues. The problem is, can you make people watch? And, can they profit from it. That's the challenge.

John Oliver - Government Surveillance: Interview w/ Snowden

Lawdeedaw says...

He breaks it down to what bored people understand...they need to be intrigued--at least young people. Or else it would be Justin Beiber...

RedSky said:

Pretty disappointing bit really. I mean I get his point (that people generally have a poor understanding of nebulous surveillance techniques and lack of interest unless it is tangibly relevant), but he doesn't need 30+ minutes and a cruddy interview to make it.

I would prefer he would take Stewart's model of making the interviews generally serious rather than conducting them TDS correspondent style.

Martha Stewart sure knows how to roast!
