"Isn't the whole point of wearing the dildo to attract attention?"

"By "attention" you mean a threatening snuff film by some gunhumping MRA?"


then I came upon a scene in which a female Cocks Not Glocks protester who looks like me — and gets a call during the film from one of my real-life friends and fellow activists — gets shot in the head by an intruder.
(clip)
I quickly read through the comments, expecting to see an outpouring of disapproval, but my eyes locked on one of the top-rated comments: “Ha Ha. He should have raped her first.”


Is "the whole point of wearing the dildo" to get "attention" like these threats?

You know that I am unable to even reply, due to the fact that such discussions of forum moderation are in direct violation of DU's TOS.

Don't interfere with forum moderation
Don't post messages about site rules, enforcement, juries, hosts, administration, alerts, alerters, removed posts, appeals, locked threads, or anything else related to how this website is moderated (except in the Ask the Administrators forum).

Why we have this rule: The purpose of Democratic Underground is to discuss politics, issues, and current events. Open discussion of how the website is run tends to distract from our core purpose.


Even with this reply to you, I risk being hidden for violation of TOS.

That is why your constant spammy meta-baiting is annoying. You do it, in violation of TOS, knowing full well that I can have my post hidden even for discussing your disappointments regarding DU's moderation system.

If you feel that a post violates TOS, then your remedy is to alert on the post in question, not to whine repeatedly about your disappointments over jury decisions that might not go your way.

Attempting to bait others with repeated spam into meta discussions regarding forum moderation decisions is inappropriate.

Do not expect me to reply to your meta-bating spam in the future.

I am in direct violation of TOS for even replying to your meta-baiting here in this post.

NOTE TO JURORS: Please note the meta-baiting spam listed below, the sheer volume of which has made it necessary for me to reply to the meta-bating in this one single post, even if it is in direct violation of DU's TOS.

Just because she has a Spanish surname does not necessarily mean she is Hispanic, Latina, or Chicana. She could be Anglo and adopted by or married to a Hispanic. My SIL's maiden name is German, but is married to a Floridian of Spanish decent.

Do not copy-and-paste entire articles onto this discussion forum. When referencing copyrighted work, post a short excerpt with a link back to the original.

To simplify compliance and enforcement of copyrights here on Democratic Underground, we ask that excerpts from other sources posted on Democratic Underground be limited to a maximum of four paragraphs, and we ask that the source of the content be clearly identified. Those who make a good-faith effort to respect the rights of copyright holders are unlikely to have any problems. But individuals who willfully and habitually infringe on others' copyrights risk being in violation of our Terms of Service.

Democratic Underground believes we have an ethical responsibility to respect the rights of copyright holders. For this reason, we strongly encourage our members to refrain from violating copyrights when posting here, and we make a good-faith effort to deal with copyright violations posted on our site when we are aware of them. However, please be aware that as a matter of law, individuals who infringe on copyrights in their postings on this site or elsewhere can be held individually responsible for copyright violations they post. Democratic Underground does not necessarily have a legal responsibility for the things members post on this website.

Sep 2016

on campus carry. Nothing good about threatening death, or rape, or whatever just to silence opposition. Glad to see she's standing by her guns (or cocks in this case).


"Growing up in Texas, Jin says she never really thought of gun culture as a problem. The 25-year-old has even considered applying for a concealed handgun license herself one day. But last fall, she was troubled by a string of campus shootings in the news. There was the rampage at an Oregon community college that left 10 dead. A shooting at Texas Southern. And another at Northern Arizona University.

As she drove through Austin one day last October, she says she heard a pundit on the radio say that Americans should just learn to live with these acts of violence and brace for them to happen. The thought that immediately popped into her head? What a bunch of dildos. What a dildo-like response."

“You’re supposed to be here to talk about difficult issues and shit. Because we live in the middle of this hotly contested gun culture, if one person is afraid to speak, there goes the free exchange of ideas,” Jin says.
Lopez, a junior, tries to take those reactions with a grain of salt. But it can be hard.

“It’s really scary…[in] the current political climate, it’s hard to do anything,” {Lopez} said, a pale, veiny dildo hanging from her black Urban Outfitters backpack. “So, at least we’re going out on a limb with something.”

Has nobody caught the irony in this video? You know, the part about her not being able to protect herself with a dildo? With the implication that if she had the very item she was protesting against, she might not be dead?

Granted, the video was in poor taste, and it was probably much too graphic for college campuses of today. BUT - violence against women is pretty common, and being able to carry a firearm, or at least have one on campus, will almost certainly help to reduce the number of offenses.

People have serious issues. They go after this lady for protesting with sex toys, they threaten a firearms dealer with burning down his business for selling smart guns...a person displaying this type of mental instability and threatening behavior has no business owing a firearm.

It's for open display of a sex toy which could trigger other people. Conceal carry means conceal. To protest, the sex toys should also be concealed.

44. Do uppity women trigger gunhumping MRAs?
Sun Sep 18, 2016, 05:53 PM
Sep 2016

And it doesn't look like those who participate will face disciplinary action — a spokesperson for UT Austin told Refinery29 that the university supports civil displays of freedom of expression, and that it appears the planned protests qualify as "protected political speech."

http://www.refinery29.com/2016/08/120840/cocks-not-glocks-dildo-protest-college-campus




Dildos are a particularly apt implement for an anti–campus carry demonstration, and not just because they share space with guns as stand-ins for human penises. Texas lawmakers have long been more scared of dildos than they are of guns—the sale of sex toys was illegal in the state until 2008. (Then–solicitor general Ted Cruz staged a valiant court effort against the right to “stimulate one’s genitals for non-medical purposes unrelated to procreation,” but he lost.) It’s still a misdemeanor crime to openly display a dildo or other obscene material in public; the act could carry the consequence of a $500 fine.


But a UT spokesman said the school’s administration considers Cocks Not Glocks a demonstration of free speech, not prurient spectacle. “Students have a right to express themselves,” he told the Austin American-Statesman. “This appears to be protected political speech.”


Jin’s Facebook event has attracted a fair number of haters who feel more threatened by protesters with dildos than a college student with a gun. “There’s a lot of people openly expressing that they would take joy if we were assaulted or raped with our protest devices,” Jin told CityLab. “They’re like, ‘We can’t wait to see them get raped by their own toys, because they’d be inviting sexual assault, and then they’ll wish they had a gun.’” The protest just started yesterday, but it sounds like there were already a ton of dicks on the UT campus.

I'm not the gunhumping domestic terrorist making snuff films of university women.

The Texas legislature put a target on her back, and now she is experiencing the consequences.

Campus Carry has proven to be a huge disaster in Texas, inviting terrorism against students.

I suppose, then, pro-gun control ads depicting violence are snuff films.

Apparently this ad threatens women with being murdered by a gun for failing to support an agenda that will allow them to be stabbed and strangled.

Surely you do not support such violence directed at women.

maliciously make gun control advocates appear unhinged and belligerent.

If I wanted to create a defaming caricature of an opponent I couldn't have created one more accommodating. It's like a self-animating strawman.

Anybody with even an ounce of awareness would realize that pro-gun control groups have created ads with depictions of violence. To claim the ad in controversy in the OP is a snuff film/call to violence is to open gun control advocates to the same criticism and that is would be seized upon. Yet, here we find ourselves mired in just such a predictable scenario.

Surely, nobody is this ideologically blinded that they couldn't foresee this turn of events.

Is it performance art? Someone trolling gun control advocates? This can't be serious.

Sure they are; we call them true believers.

Noticed that did you? DU doesn't have an "irony overload" alert which is good as it would only serve to hobble the mirth.

is "a movie in a purported genre of movies in which an actor is actually murdered or commits suicide".

Were you ignorant of that definition or was your inaccurate use of the term intentional?

But it takes some spectacular mental contortions to avoid the obvious point, which is that a dildo won't protect one against an intruder.

nobody should feel ashamed/threatened to express their views. i do not own firearms to threaten others, i desire to protect myself and my loved ones. a firearm allows a small weak person to stand up to a person that is twice their size and stronger/faster than they are.
