Let's shame the inept, clueless guy into he kills himself. We can do it internet!

I mean I certainly hope that doesn't happen. Do you think that's a likely end state, or even an end goal for people participating in the mob?

I do feel bad for the guy and how far he's dug himself into a hole here. Nobody deserves to be social media mobbed, but he should maybe consider not continuing to dig.

Judging by his public Facebook posts...

Yup, he definitely seems like that kind of guy.

Are you saying this didn't happen??

Thanos acquires the fully powered Infinity Gauntlet in The Avengers: Infinity War, but loses when all the superheroes team up together to stop him.
His Facebook said:
I'm sitting here trying to enjoy Breaking Bad when I hear a woman scream from the street "Help! Help! Get the F off of me!!!" I go to my balcony to examine the seriousness of the situation and they were grappling on the sidewalk. I threw my shoes on and ran down the stairs and out into the street and confronted the punk who was manhandling his girlfriend. He quickly backed down and was stumbling over himself apologizing. Part of me wishes he would have come at me so I could have stuck him in the jaw.
Poll: Did this actually happen or not
 

On the stream he says he was saying all that to piss people off at this point.

I don't doubt that, but it's not a good PR move to take on the "lol, I'm just fucking with everyone now"

He also says that he is making lots of money off this and that the woman in question owes him for the 5K followers, because she is using this as a platform to get more famous. Apparently him starting it means it's somehow her fault for the new followers.

How would he do that if hes not thinking clearly. He has issues, he needs support from family and friends. If he doesnt, he wont stop digging, how could he. That would require him to think clearly.

Ah, the defence force radioflyer was late today.

Yep. Being a misogynist asshole and doubling down on it is all reason to be critical of people that don't value his opinion. Suicide is a very serious issue, that a lot of people suffer with. However, this is a troll. Who has been trolling, and is enjoying the attention from the trolling. He thinks its funny, remember?

Someone saying Hitler had good ideas, is hardly the poster child of suicide awareness and social repercussions of social shaming. But, feel free to continue trying to paint that picture that some how alleviates him from the reality of being an asshole.

Equating wishes for suicide as a result to noting that there is a problem with how men take rejection/treat women is a bit of a stretch but.. depends on your world view. If you want to see this fellow as a victim of internet bullying, thats definitely one opinion.

He is going to have quite a lot of support for this from the redpill/gamergate/no-maam groups. Condemnation on gaf, aint exactly the real internet. I'm willing to bet more harm will come to Grace, than any on this fellow.
 
"As you guys pointed out, my cock's so dry it's in the fridge.. trying to hydrate it a little bit"

WHAT?

Oh shit is that actually the kind of stuff he's saying on the stream? I might have to check this out later, if someone is recording it.

holy shit hes singing eminem now

This definitely helps his cause.

Poll: Did this actually happen or not

Yes it did. In his imagination, because no this didnt actually happen.

It's always the same. Maybe it doesn't always progress to the end, but he is certainly in the defensive, angry state.

When he finally takes a breath and realizes, he will try and reverse course. But the internet mob engine will not stop.

Dude's in full breakdown mode.

Wow, the stream is hilarious.

Now he's talking about how he has furthered the cause for feminism because of some website he did but "chose to stay in the background for".

Apparently this is the site he co-founded? http://feminspire.com/

A former editor on Grace's twitter said she left the site because he had far too much control (even though he's not listed as part of the editorial team).

Looking for meaning in GAF
It sucks and it's why I feel so bad for her. I've been in a similar boat where I politely turned someone down and I had people telling me I was in the wrong for saying no to him. He also went a spun the whole tale that I 'begged' and asked him out and he was the one who turned me down.

This guy is obviously taking things way farther but i simply don't understand why some guys/girls just can't take 'no' as an answer.
I honestly didn't know this was a thing until my SO told me about it. I didn't believe her at first, but I started to see it more and more after she mentioned it.

I mean sure, being rejected hurts and a guy's first knee-jerk reaction may be to want to recover his wounded pride in some way. But lashing out because of that wounded pride just makes things worse, and any decent person should know this.
 
He's like a caricature of a stereotype of the guy you describe as the 'nice guy douchebag' who constantly, and endlessly, harasses women. You know, the one who thinks because he said a girl looks pretty that it entitles him to a response. Or that if a woman smiles while glancing vaguely in his direction, it means they are soul mates.

But then you have the defense force come and try to say that guys like this are rare, or #notallmen, or this was just an isolated incident.

Millions of isolated incidents.

She couldn't have rejected him in a nicer, more friendly, yet clear manner.

Something is up with this guy.
