Im glad he isnt a minority or conventionally attractive, otherwise this whole ordeal would seem silly
Yep.
I'll just echo randi harper's thoughts on it
yo. so, i don't know how to deal with this ken bone situation happening at gizmodo.

they are pulling this breitbart-lite shit on some rando dude for page clicks. not a famous dude. not a rich dude. some overnight fame rando.
👻 ‏@randileeharper 12h12 hours ago
author is continuing to update story while pouring through this dude's reddit, and i am not happy about the situation this is putting me in.
👻 ‏@randileeharper 12h12 hours ago
gawker (@williamturton in specific) is rallying a mob to go after a guy who --- is not a public figure ---
👻 ‏@randileeharper 12h12 hours ago
i don't like saying this. i've never done this before. if someone at gizmodo doesn't step in+fix this, i'm declining to support their staff.
👻 ‏@randileeharper 12h12 hours ago
morally, it doesn't sit right with me. i can't step in with offers to help their journo's & their families when they are doing this.
👻 ‏@randileeharper 12h12 hours ago
i've helped out a lot of really shitty people that i strongly dislike, because it was the right thing to do. this feels ugly and different.
👻 ‏@randileeharper 12h12 hours ago
maybe it's because of my own bias, because it sits so close to home. but it feels stalkerish and disgusting. in a word, breitbart.
👻 ‏@randileeharper 12h12 hours ago
and as long as i'm expressing unpopular opinions, let's take it one step further.
👻 ‏@randileeharper 12h12 hours ago
fuck you, fuck how you try to look like you care about diversity, you're about the page clicks and creating abusive mobs on the internet.
👻 ‏@randileeharper 12h12 hours ago
i'm *really* fucking tired of dudes doing shitty things and then being like "i care about diversity!" lol no
👻 ‏@randileeharper 12h12 hours ago
if you had 2 fucking brain cells to rub together, you'd realize the culture that you are perpetuating disproportionately targets minorities.
👻 ‏@randileeharper 12h12 hours ago
i'm really mad right now.
👻 ‏@randileeharper 12h12 hours ago
like, actually pretty furious, and i'm usually fairly level headed. so i'm going to go smoke some pot and chill. but fuck you, gizmodo.
👻 ‏@randileeharper 12h12 hours ago
fuckin' shit. it's SM stalking, sex shaming, kink shaming, public humiliation of some rando dude that DOESN'T EVEN GO HERE.
👻 ‏@randileeharper 12h12 hours ago
he's not in tech.
he's not rich.
he's not famous.
he doesn't have a lot of power.
he SAID NICE THINGS ON TV. NICE THINGS.
👻 ‏@randileeharper 12h12 hours ago
he doesn't participate in the fucking internet culture wars and you fucking dragged him into it. because he was wowed by the attention.
👻 ‏@randileeharper 12h12 hours ago
it's not ok just because he's a white cis dude. don't fucking do this to people.
👻 ‏@randileeharper 12h12 hours ago
i am completely 100% sober right now. i am just SO ANGRY. because you know some asshats are going to call this guy's work and fuck with him.

This year has been utter shit. The US sucks right now. Ken Bone was a bit of lighthearted humor that we all needed.

And Gizmodo figuratively took a shit on his face.
