Okay. So. We're the Slymepit. What can we do here?

Theoretically, if we were a group of people who could help people and not just mock them all the time. I'm not going to throw a Mykeru, but this Bora shit seems genuinely fucking sad and it would be nice if we could help.

I don't even bother logging in to use the ignore feature because all the other posts are replies to the oblivious gobshite, usually quoting him. It's just not worth scrolling through 90% of the site to find anything of interest.

Seconded. I don't have anyone on ignore as a matter of principle, but Steersman is pushing me close to the edge. Can't the FT give Steers his own thread, like he did with Wonderbore?

As European Americans acclimated themselves to the custom of forsaking utensils and even plates to eat more like enslaved Africans and Native Americans – from spareribs to corn on the cob – they used their hands in an unprecedented break with Old World formalities.

Bora's website looks so miserable at the moment.

I don't know what to think about the witchhunting but... it's actually just comments, isn't it, that he's accused of doing? If anything? Made by an autistic with poor reading of social cues? And he's been just shat on entirely by everyone?

I feel like it would be nice to help the guy - his wife seems to make a fair case that this is all fucking witch hunting, and I'm into supporting the hunted - but I actually know nothing about Bora or if there's been any case/etc against him. I never followed this story at all.

It occurred to me, while watching Alien (and yelling at the screen), that there is a subset of horror movies that, if you dig into the subtext, are essentially about rape.

I’m not talking slashers, serial killers, ghosts, or goblins, though there are plenty of morality plays involving them (and more).

I’m talking parasites.

Parasites from space.

Specifically, the Alien franchise.

The entire concept, the entire premise of this franchise, is about the horrors of rape and forced pregnancy.

First off, the Facehuggers look like a giant vulva with legs and a tail. Come to think of it, there are a lot of things that look phallic (and yonic) in this movie. Some of this, no doubt, was intentional. (Come on, this movie is the Trope Namer for Face Full of Alien Wing-Wong, ferchrissake!)

Second, the Facehuggers do exactly what it says on the tin — “hug” your face. For… certain values of “hug” that involve oral rape.

Third, they implant an egg in your chest. I repeat, they implant an egg in your fucking chest. That egg is gonna hatch. The thing inside it is going to be hungry. It’s going to eat the first thing it can find — namely, YOU. And it’s going to devour you from within before exploding your chest wall and entering the world with a big, bloody, splash. Yeah, they named the Chest Burster trope, too.

Think about the level of bodily violation that’s happening there.

Sure, on the surface, Alien is a sci-fi action flick with some squicky effects.

But it’s so much more when you read between the lines.

Of course, Cracked has a far more in-depth exploration of this topic.

Brive1987 wrote:Oh Dana. From the Jan 2014 post linked to above.

I see Bora’s decided he’s spent enough time in the penalty box, and has returned to the social media world. This move was classic: mention you moved your blog from Scientific American, but fail to mention why, as if sexually harassing several women is just a minor whoops you needn’t bring up, then paste on a butthurt addendum saying you had no idea you should apologize again. That, combined with the fact he’s so pleased to have his balls lovingly sucked in public by his good buddy Anton Zuiker and assorted harassment-denying hangers-on, tells me he hasn’t learned a damned thing.

My worst fears are thus confirmed, much to my utter and complete lack of surprise: he isn’t a man who realizes he fucked up and will do everything necessary to make amends. No, he’s a predator who’s too bloody stupid to move on to a fresh victim pool.

If that was a dog you'd be forced to take action.

Brive1987 wrote:Check out the post by Bora's wife (if I havent been niggered)

From http://www.advicegoddess.com/archives/2 ... vic_r.html


....................
What people don't know is that a lawyer forced Bora to publish that "apology" and would not allow him to use his own words or defend himself. So his fate was sealed, his guilt certain.................

@snoopy There is one very important fact that I failed to mention but should have: The lawyer misrepresented herself to Bora as *his* lawyer, as if SciAm was going to support and protect him. Instead, she was actually slipping the noose around his neck. If we pursue any legal action, we have a strong case against her. He did what she told him to do because he trusted her. A huge mistake, once again counting on somebody's honesty where was none. He worked his tuchas off for that company. He made the mistake of believing that SciAm would have his back. Sadly, he was very, very wrong about that. Again.

To recap the incident, Bora was widely recognized as an important gatekeeper to the online science writing community — he knew everyone, was a real activist in building communities and bringing diverse writers together, and was also widely liked. But that all came crashing down when it was discovered that he treated men and women differently, that women were subjected to uncomfortably sexual talk, and that maybe he wasn’t such a great community builder after all, if women were feeling reluctant and betrayed.

There were no legal issues. This was not brought to court. He is not currently in jail. All it was was that he was discovered to be biased in the execution of his work, and therefore wasn’t doing the job he was expected to do — so, like a dishwasher who does a poor job washing dishes, he lost his position as a community manager at Scientific American, and resigned from his position on the board of Science Online. This was right and appropriate — when you lose the trust of a community in a position that is all about the community, of course you should lose that position.

Really? wrote:Hey guyz. I was just smoking some crack and eating my cat's vomit when it occurred to me...

James Caruthers wrote:Brive, that post about Bora is unbelievable. 10/10 top quality, mate.

Bora always struck me as one of the saddest people fingered in the false rape accusation witch hunt. He had that pathetic puppy-dog look and apparently that's fairly accurate of him in real life as well. So much for male SJW feminist allies. Or maybe if I want to be charitable, I could say that the SJW community is entirely too welcoming of manipulative DSM disordered game-players who abuse its "safe space" to gain power and control over others. If every male feminist was Steve Shives rather than Hugo Schwyzer, and every female feminist was Greta Christina rather than Melody Hensley, maybe then they'd be justified in their extreme in-group "kin selection" bias.

Don't get me wrong either-I can't stand Steve. The reason I never posted any Steve shit on the pit is I'd rather infiltrate any other SJW than listen to his drivel. BUT at least Steve strikes me as a reasonably honest person, and I guess Greta does too even though I also don't like her.

My point is that there are some people you're just going to have an ideological conflict with, and that's fine. But they're probably decent people. But then there are the Davis Aurini, RooshV, Melody Hensley, PZ Myers Asshole Supremes who are just out for themselves and fuck you if you are not immediately useful to them. Like when I posted a jeering comment on Owen's youtube channel laughing at Davis Aurini's political views, and Davis Aurini aka one half of the "Anita is silencing meeee" duo showed up to ask Jordan to ban me for being an "SJW troll." Haha! So much for my frozen peaches! I did gain respect for Owen when he didn't ban me and showed up in the comment chain to argue with some real racists who wanted to claim Jim Crow wasn't so bad or something. :D

This is my windy cunt way to say not everyone in a community has to be toxic, but if the community enables toxic behavior then the net result can still be very bad. Honest people have a major failing of believing others are as honest as they are.

Myers must be so proud that he and his fellow Sociopath Justice Warriors helped make Bora's kids become malnourished. He may not be a great or even noteworthy scientist or writer, but at least he made a difference to somebody's life.

The Cheka is not just an investigative organ: it is the battle organ of the party of the future… It annihilates without trial or it isolates from society by imprisoning in concentration camps. Its word is law. The Cheka’s work must cover all areas of public life… When interrogating, do not seek material evidence or proof of the accused’s words or deeds against Soviet power. The first question you must ask is: what class does he belong to, what education, upbringing, origin or profession does he have? These questions must determine the accused's fate. This is the sense and essence of red terror… It doesn’t judge the enemy, it strikes him. It shows no mercy, but incinerates anyone who takes up arms on the other side of the barricades and who is of no use to us… But it isn’t a guillotine cutting of heads at a tribunal’s instance… We, like the Israelites, have to build the Kingdom of the Future under constant fear of enemy attack.[emphasis mine, JS]

Thing is, if Bora was guilty of "being inappropriate" to someone, the correct response would maybe be for the person he was being inappropriate towards to say something to him. Then, if he continued, maybe bring in some other people and stop the behavior and yeah, eventually if he was just a SEXUAL HARASSMENT MACHINE, then you'd have a case to fire him.

But he didn't do any of that. He was apologetic the entire time and AFAIK never repeated "the behavior" whatever the fuck it was, IF he even did it in the first place! But that wasn't enough. They hounded him off all forms of social media and then when he came crawling back, repeating his 'good ally' mantra the entire time, they posted "how dare this guy come back to social media??? Doesn't he know we OWN TWITTER!??!?" They wouldn't stop. Nothing was good enough for them. There was no limit to how far they were willing to go to bring this guy down in every way.

Seriously, fuck those people. Those are NOT the SJWs I defend when I defend SJWs on the 'pit. :P
