August Ames has died

Stupid post. Telling women to stop working with/ agents to stop booking bisexuals is literal discrimination.

Dressing discrimination up as "looking out for your health" is just as disgusting as "I don't trust Muslims because of terrorism".

She did make a follow tweet though saying she didn't mean any offense- I think it should have stopped there.
She is not well articulated, but I got the sense that she thought there was a lack of testing. It didn't come out in a good way, but I just don't see how this was an attempt to drive an anti-gay agenda. It seems to be more like she is just ignorant about aids prevention and bi testing.
Someone replied to her that her own boyfriend does bi porn, so it seems really weird to me if this was an anti-gay sling.




Reading it, they didn't dogpile her, but the comments don't seem as abusive and cruel as they are underneath a pornhub video. Those comments are often absolutely fucked up. I guess that, the continual abuse, ridiculing and mistreatment of that it's okay to egg and talk to pornstars like they ain't shit, made a lot of people think that they are are not phased by mean spirited comments.

A previous tweet she made had her saying once that an episode of GoT kept her from killing herself because she had something to look forward on the following sunday.

Yeah, its the twitter warriors who are the real victims here, not the woman persecuted into taking her own life.

The fuck.

She wasn't trying to push anyone out of "the industry" she was saying people need to be aware of who their costars are, and even apologised for any inadvertent offence, but even fucking killing herself isn't enough of an amends for the twitterati professional outrage committee.

JFC.

IKR. If this was posted on old gaf 80% of the posts would've been like his tbh.

I need some sort of flow chart to follow when it's ok for women to refuse certain sexual partners and when it's not.

Wow those tweets after her suicide.

These people clearly have no idea what empathy is.

pretty uncalled for

That attitude is what caused this problem in the first place. Let his employers and family/friends mete out punishment, the court of public opinion isn't very judicious.

Ludicrous.

You have a fucking cunt telling someone to kill themselves....

Didnt a girl go to jail not long ago for that? You have some fucking scum bag disagreeing with a woman who wants to look after HER body, telling her to kill herself and yet we shouldnt judge him?

THATS UP TO HIS FRIENDS?

GIVE ME A FUCKING BREAK

I didn't tell you not to judge him, did I? All I'm offering is a little self-reflection.

You're getting whipped into a frenzy over this tweet, Jaxton and his friends were whipped up by a different tweet. You each got your pet issues, and you're probably more right than he was, but that doesn't mean 'dragging people over the coals for tweets' is the correct response.

All the stars that came out against August have gone very silent now. Hell, Jaxton here locked his account. Be assured that they're getting theirs from the people responsible for keeping them in check.

Yes I know the details about your example. It's not a good one.

The case you linked is about sustained and repeated private conversations between the guy and the girl, wherein the girl was clearly aware of Conrad's medical problems because he confided in her and expressed emotional reliance upon her, which she was proven in a court of law to have been very aware of, therein making her actions malicious.

Jaxton posted maybe several tweets on a public platform.

But let's say this was a good example, I'll give you the benefit of the doubt. Who prosecuted and sentenced Michelle Carter? You and your twitter friends, or the Judicial Court spurred on by the victim's family?

Yes, you are right, but it does not justify the righteous indignation and vitriol. It's not ok to bug out just because someone else said something stupid.

I can't believe I'm reading this from you, of all people. An angry mob in the form of people shitting on someone's twitter homepage is total wanton unproductive hate. The whole idea of "yea let's go gang up on this person" is fucked up in any sphere, I would have thought the whole gamergate controversy would have shown this.

People are shit. Especially people who wanna force others to do what they dont want to do in the fear of being labeled 'phobic'

Just about as hilarious as the trans movement against female porn stars who do lesbian scenes not wanting to fuck MTF trans actress.
Sorry, just cause you you label yourself a woman you cant attack someone for not wanting to do a 'Lesbian scene' cause you have a dick.
