Aziz Ansari Doesn't Pick Up On "Non-Verbal Cues" and Gets Treated Like A Rapist

How does everyone shutting up about it fix anything? The guy is a public figure putting out a public image of being friendly to the #metoo cause, yet he behaves in a way that everyone here seemingly agrees is creepy if not rapey.

There's a fine line between famous and infamous, and I suspect it lies in the region where one's behavior is scrutinized precisely because you're a public figure.

I don't think anyone here thinks any sort of trial is likely, but I do think that everyone here has a right to their opinion -- and that includes the woman who was harangued.

We're having a discussion. No one here seems to be saying "I've got the truth." All of us seem to agree on the basics.

This pabulum about "if she followed my own beliefs she wouldn't have been in that position" is essentially using this woman's grief to advance her faith. That's exactly why I called agenda.

If you're cool with that, okay. But you should be careful about what, and who, you support.

Her grief? Where does she express anything about personal experiences in her first post? In a later post, she clearly said she's never had this sort of thing happen but she could still sympathize. She also never mentioned anything about her religious beliefs in that first post.

Nice strawmanning and completely missing the point.

He was referring to Grace's grief. He's claiming my comment about sexual morality was aimed at her, and that my message was "If Grace had followed my beliefs she wouldn't have been in that situation." He's claiming I'm using Grace's grief to promote Catholicism.

Couldn't be further from the truth of course, but it's always nice to have words shoved into my mouth and twisted to mean something undesirable.
