    Just a tip for all the people "criticising" Lauren, don't act like all women are pretending to be victims of misogyny (however blatant) whilst whining that you and all men are victims. It makes you look a tad pathetic.

      +Callum Quinn You do realize that there are like... alot of people connected to the internet... right. You know like if one person says something to this dumbass another saying the same thing may not even know them. It's almost like they aren't an actual group and trying to understand them as a monolithic entity is stupid because you lump MRAs in with Trolls or just people who disagree but idk. Maybe I'm crazy. ¯_ツ_¯

      ***** You jest, but do realise that anonymous trolls like yourself can't take an ounce of criticism, right? Its all that petty tribalism suckle on like the pathetic bottom-feeders you are. Anything that is mildly supportive of dreaded female is the enemy and anything that doesn't abide by the male victim complex is an attack on all men. If I proclaimed that "all men are pussies" I would expect a backlash, why don't you expect as much when you do it to female?

      ***** Ignoring posts isn't something you can do forever, especially when you're in a band gaining popularity on social media platforms, it's better to call for change and be proactive so that the comments will stop, than just do nothing and hope it all blows over -when it won't.

    • @TimeForProjectJordan
      @TimeForProjectJordan 9 років тому +3

      When did I ever use the word easier? It's better to live in a world where women aren't constantly shunned for anything they do as opposed to just pretending it doesn't happen. Calling for equality certainly wont be easy, but if means we can finally have equality between men and women then it's worth it.

    • @joeogle7729
      @joeogle7729 Рік тому

      ​​@@Jac70 think the context is that when the band first started they got a lot of sexist and morally challenged remarks from people who were a bit "keen" about Lauren to put it lightly.
      The band then went on their Facebook page and said don't do that it's disgusting.
      However, there are 2 problems with this. 1). Never tell the internet not to do something because it's like telling a child not to stick beans up their nose. 2). Trying to reason with the internet is like trying to reason with the lion that's thinking of eating you
      So instead they got even more of the abuse but instead the comments were the exact opposite of the "keen" I described earlier and also took it out on the music as well.

    It is very true that misogynistic men when they don't like a woman's view will comment on her looks, even though her looks will have nothing to do with the argument as Lauren pointed out it doesn't matter what she's wearing it could be a t-shirt and short, not revealing at all and she will still get same comments. This comes from the view that women are there just to be looked at, so for those trolls hew appearance is the only thing they can comment on because if they would have tries to argue and disprove her actual view that they dislike they wouldn't be able to, that's why they use as Lauren put it their trump cut to shut someone up, trying to scare women with physical and sexual violence. I can only speak for myself but I'm pretty certain that every woman who expresses her views freely at some point has had this happen to her. Thank you very much Lauren for speaking out.

      +Jon Foster It's not "a culture of internet nerds harassing women which is well documented", it's a culture of people disliking something, and using the best tools at their disposal to make sure they understand that. As far as I see, the negative comments are saying "lol what a dumb bitch", they're criticising her, and more specifically, her argument, not dismissing it on the grounds that she's a woman. If anything, you're the one attacking people based on how you perceive them, and not their argument.

    • @LordDraco999
      @LordDraco999 8 років тому +1

      Jon Foster I think it's rather telling that you group everyone offending Lauren into Gamergate/Men's Rights. it was a thread on /mu/ on 4chan, and there was no "I want to cum on her face".
      It just so happens that trolls are often, you guessed it, completely unprovoked, they see someone who is easily offended and they jump on it because they're assholes, not because she's a woman, but because she's easily offended POSSIBLY because she's a woman.
      Should anyone have to deal with threats on the internet? No, but the fact is that she can walk away from those threats, she can walk away from a thread on a relatively secluded part of the internet that has trolls in, she can walk away from being called a slut on twitter, or move to the more abundant praise and adulation that I'm sure she gets.
      Also, stop throwing around buzzwords like meme culture, Lauren isn't so massive that calling her a slut is a meme / part of meme culture.
      Finally, I find it really rather amusing that you rate Banksy next to Elon Musk (really, one anarchist artist who thinks he's deep and meaningful in making pictures that oppose the government, next to billionaire philanthropist), and that, despite holding Banksy at such a high level, you don't take his message to heart, in that you believe that the nasty words that she's receiving is from GamerGate, of all places! Why the fuck would GamerGate, a movement for journalistic integrity and more recently, freedom of expression in video games, care about Lauren? Here's a hint: They don't.

    First off, I've only heard very little about this woman and I have never even listened to the band before.
    What I have observed is, that she is concentrating a whole lot of energy on subjects that have nothing to do with her work and the band. Maybe she should put this energy into her own work, instead of reflecting it to those who she does not wish to have around in the first place.
    Ofcourse, this is marketing. But do you really want to sell yourself as another victim? We have enough of those already, and they are about to get real victims instead of emulating a self imposed fantasy of being one.
    I can respect woman for who they are and what they do. They are just as valuable as men. But if you're going to play the victim card like this you're first of all hurting yourself and you're hurting everybody around you. Maybe you don't even realize this, but your behavior, "Ms Mayberry", is just as unnecessary and ridiculous as the behavior of those who "cyber bully" you.
    Get over it and finaly start to be yourself ffs. We all have to at one point, or we'll go down with our own incapability. This is what natural selection is.

      @cletus9791 8 років тому

      Ser Firestarter I'm not saying that misogynists have to be monsters (even if some of them are). Of course they love some women: those that are close to their stereotype of what a "good" wife, mother or girlfriend has to be. They don't dislike Lauren just because she's a woman: they dislike her because she's a STRONG woman that fights those stereotypes. That makes them feel threatened, so they react with anger and hate.

    • @LordDraco999
      @LordDraco999 8 років тому

      cletus9791 What you call strong, others might see as arrogant or hyperbolic, personally I think she's exaggerating just how much hate she gets, or how serious it is. That's why I dislike her, because when she says that she's getting hate because she's a woman, it continues the narrative that women are perpetual victims and make them seem weaker, when women are just as strong as men in my experience. They don't hate her on virtue of her woman. From what I've seen they dislike her on virtue of her devaluing women's strength.

    @matbroomfield 9 років тому +6

    I think that misogynistic comments are simply the easiest weapon that many people turn to against women, but hate speech/trolling is not exclusively a sexist issue. When it's directed at males, their sexuality or appearance are usually the go to taunts of choice. Whatever hurts is what is called upon, as warfare has always been waged. The sad thing is that the internet provides a foruim which appears insulated from consequences, but not from the emotions that go with these interactions. Personally, I welcome reasonable limits upon freedom of expression on the internet, and I would start with anything that issues threats direct or otherwise.

    • @LordDraco999
      @LordDraco999 9 років тому +1

      +Mat Broomfield I agree with the first half of your comment, that people generally pick the insult that will hurt the most, and that doesn't mean that they're insulting you because of that factor. However, placing a restriction on harmful language on the internet is a stupid idea. How can we tell when something is meant jovially or offensively? What if someone is engaging with "banter" with their friends, but later on one of those friends decides to take that to the police as evidence of harassment. It's also extremely difficult to punish people for sending the nasty words on the twitter in real life. Finally, how can we be sure that those rules won't be used as a bludgeon for dissenting opinions? How can we be sure that someone won't be banned from the internet for using a term that some people might deem a "micro-aggression". And is speech on the internet truly free? Every forum that you use will have rules, and those rules will include a clause about harassment, people can't do what they want.

    Trolling is trolling. If you have to add a prefix to the word then it is NOT trolling! The purpose of a troll is to mind-fuck you into a speechless stupor. Just because someone is annoying you DOES NOT MEAN they are a troll! Trolling is not a synonym for annoying. A troll is someone who deliberately crafts the appearance of being an honest buffoon in order to get you to play their little mental shenanigans to the point where you throw your hands in the air in frustration while they smirk (Troll Face) at you on the other end. Trolling means to play intellectual pranks on people and *NOT* to just stupidly harass them or annoy them with stupid shit!

    I think you're being overly sensitive.

You're wasting your time; not advancing a political movement or changing society, or whatever you think the result of complaining about internet trolls does.

    2) SJWs suck, but feminism is a legitimate and important cause! Feminist ≠ SJW

    • @mdr222
      @mdr222 9 років тому +3

      +teya4c 1) That is complete bullshit, plain and sample. First off, it's not hate speech, it's just some people having some shit and giggles on an anonymous image forum. It really isn't a good idea to take what people say online so seriously, especially on a place like 4chan, where they will make fun of anyone for anything. Second of all, she clearly cannot handle these comments, which is furthered by the fact that instead of ignoring the comments like a normal human being, she tries to make mountains out of a molehill by ignorantly claiming that this is a legitimate issue.
      2) Claiming that SJWs aren't feminists is really just a bad example of the "No true Scotsman" falacy.

    All that was said was right on except for one thing, IMHO, that "trolls want to silence people." I think trolls want people to speak and that any reaction is a good reaction to them. Sometimes it's best to ignore them, but if one reacts, hopefully it can be in a way that will get the troll to think. Easier said than done, I know.

    The simple fact is that almost all of the trolls have sad and insignificant lives are are lashing out in resentment at those whose lives shine brighter than their own. It's just sad to look at someone young, talented, successful, beautiful and articulate and just look for ways to try to drag them down.
    On the receiving end yes, you may need to aim to be as robust as possible to trolling for your own sake, but as a society we need to send the message that getting upset by trolling isn't the problem, the trolling itself is the problem, and that engaging in it is simply not acceptable.
