There's no right answer to the 'Are you a racist?' question.

It is assumed all white people are racist, if only unconsciously.

I'm getting vibes of the public shaming Watson pulled on Graf.
Or the public shaming everyone's pulled on Benson.
Or you know par for the course for SJW life, as they eat each other to gain greater power.
Next step, Muscato creates a Patreon because her PR business suddenly dried up for absolutely no reason at all?
Muscato's only public relations work seems to be her two years at American Atheists, and 1 year with University of Missouri Skeptics, Atheists, Secular Humanists & Agnostics.

She otherwise describes herself as a Civil Rights Activist, Public Speaker & Writer.

I don't know what she is up to now.

My guess is that s/he's looking for a ride home, given that he went to Skepticon in the videographer's minivan.

These photos of atheist conferences are always full of fucking ugly people. It makes me wonder, have I spent x years on here conversing with a bunch of fucking neckbeards and landwhales?

I reckon katamari is hot, and we all know that rayshul has the perfect vagina (though pics would be nice: PM me), but the rest of you? Fuck, there's no way I want a Pit meetup if you all look like the average atheist con attendee.

This didn't seem a Maoist trap at the time - merely a way of deflecting possible attacks that would inevitably occur due to the fact that his story is embarrassing for the SJWs.
He answered it in a kind of awkward way, saying that everyone is a bit racist - presumably meaning that we all have our own unacknowledged biases based on our upbringing and situation. He then went on to say that he knows that he has white privilege and that he wants to work towards ending white privilege in the future.
That didn't seem an admission of racism to me - although I have seen people claim it was or that he had admitted white people are racist.

Maybe he said something else later on - that's all of the interview that I saw, apart from the idiotic statement that he should not be involved in charging someone with assault (because black people get assaulted).
A publicist doing prepared questions, should not have asked a question that he did not know how her subject was going to respond. They had a long car trip. Part of that should have been going over tough questions like that.

How kind of you to give Danielle the benefit of the doubt. What's the point of asking such a question, aside from the SJW/#ShitSwastikasAreWorseThanParisTerror morons in the crowd rumbling for her to do so.

The fact stands that Lauren Lane and Skepticon asked him to speak and set him up in a shitty position. Danielle Muscato threw him under the bus as the bright stage lights shone on her male pattern bald scalp. Why would anyone want to speak at any future Skepticons if they aren't already one of the unassailable SJWs?

This poor asshole is a bigger patsy than Oswald.

Species is a social construct. Absolutely not delusional. From TFA last week:

I’m very torn on that topic. There’s no reason at this time to suspect that there’s a hormonal difference or something similar that could cause one to identify with a nonhuman species, but the sensations can be extremely strong and lifelong. (I’ve “possessed” mobile, expressive ears and a tail since I can remember, for instance.) I wonder if there are early species identification triggers that occasionally have a very strong effect on humans, like the way some animals raised by another species clearly consider themselves members of that species.

Oh, thank the gods I’m not the only one who can feel the “extra” parts!
That's lovely. Link?

And there are also SJW's saying that yes, the Olympics *should* absolutely not be segregated anymore, and instead go by weight/height, or just merit. Lulz.

I am a 6ft tall female, and a man of equal height and weight could still kick my ass, just by virtue of having, you know, a musco-skeletal system associated with being male.

You're going to score at least one experienced MILF, maybe even a former prostitute. Someone who can peer review my performance."

I almost feel sorry for the man. He spent all the money he earned with the sale of his deluxe faux-leather-bound edition of one of his masterpieces on this trip to Skepticon (because nobody would invite him and cover his costs), and now this. Row up on row of empty seats. Disillusioned neckbeards at the bar. Not a single polyamorous mature woman in sight.

I don't necessarily love it. But I kind of expected it to start going that way. I don't think Skepticon has gone full SJW... but they certainly have been tilting that direction. OK. Maybe this conference they have finally gone #FullSJW. Maybe last year's attendees saw/experienced something we did not and knew enough to duck out now.

I mean it really appears as of the event has dropped ridiculously low, both in terms of funding and attendance.

I can only hope Sikivu will concentrate on how white feminism is the worst part of white supremacy and how they have not only have done nothing but damage to people of color, both men and women but have never acknowledged their privilege.

I've argued that it might be analogous to imprinting:

[Imprinting] was rediscovered by the early ethologist Oskar Heinroth, and studied extensively and popularized by his disciple Konrad Lorenz working with greylag geese. Lorenz demonstrated how incubator-hatched geese would imprint on the first suitable moving stimulus they saw within what he called a "critical period" between 13–16 hours shortly after hatching. For example, the goslings would imprint on Lorenz himself (to be more specific, on his wading boots), and he is often depicted being followed by a gaggle of geese who had imprinted on him.

It's standard for faculty to sit in the back when doing a "classroom observation" of a junior colleague (e.g., for year-end or tenure review). The idea is to be less disruptive and be able to gauge the reactions of students. This analysis either makes it more understandable that PZ Myers would sit in the back or more obnoxious, as it suggests that he views himself as "senior" to all other speakers.

Do us a favor. Do not post on Twitter during coitus. Thx. :-)

No promises. :-)
But don’t worry, you’ll ever know when that’s happening.
Nor, BTW, will I ask my girlfriends to promise not to tweet while having sex with me either (also without you knowing).
As those of us in the kink community will tell you…that might be kind of hot.
But then, you’d have to first be comfortable with the fact that people have sex in the world.

It is fair to call her a completely shitty publicist. Because that is the capacity that she acted in, and she didn't just fail at preserving her client's reputation (that is not always possible), she literally smeared him and threw him under the bus to save her own skin.

But as far as Danielle being an SJW? A single incident does not do it for me. Danielle, to me knowledge isn't constantly seeking people to tear down.

I have nothing against Muscato for being trans or being a woman. I really don't care.

But she screwed over an autistic kid to try to get on the good side of people who HAVE no good side, and it wasn't enough to save her skin. There's some fucking poetic justice.

Even better, Lauren Lane is on record as apologizing for a presenter who presented an opinion that runs counter to in-group dogma.

And this was done at SKEPTICon.

If these people had any self-awareness, they would be weeping.
