If Julian Assange's goal here was to kick the proverbial hornet's nest, thereby igniting a full-fledged explosion of rage from crowds of people on Twitter....then mission accomplished. Let's just say we're all well aware of another undeniable truth, after Assange's tweet; and that is that you don't tweet sh*t like this, unless you want to kickstart a Twitter war.
In light of the unsettling realization about what the cartoon actually is, I can (try and) appreciate the "artist's" intentions here were coming from an allegedly good enough place. But I mean, damn, they should've seen the blowback coming on this one at some point. It's almost impressive. In a single cartoon they didn't fail to hit many of the widely-known trigger points. You know...sexism, feminism, etc.
Fox News just can't win lately. Is Walter White back in the market, and are they smoking that Blue Crystal with Jesse Pinkman somewhere along Skid Row before clocking on for the day, or what? They're consistently failing left and right. If their goal is to alienate huge majorities of their audience, then hell, the ratings just came in, and Fox News, lemme be the first to say -- you're killing it.
Ah, double standards. I could almost hear the groans and sighs of irritation from some of you out there, no doubt off put by the very fact we invite these kinds of discussions in online forums. If there's one thing that became glaringly evident, scrolling through the rants and tangents of this AskReddit to pull some decent pointers (at least I hope so), it's that a relationship is a game of give and take. The playing field between romantic partners is continually shifting, and sure, norms, gender stereotypes suck; but we're not going to break down standards that have stood the test of time up to this point in a day. So we can all just point 'em out, shine a spotlight on 'em, and maybe figure out why they're there and ultimately, why they shouldn't be. I'm trying to remain neutral here for the sake of spurring discussion between you guys, the audience; but I'll be sure to jump in on dat comments section if the discussion really gets going.
This delusional Bumble user lost all chill and turned a simple question into a rant about Beyoncé, neo-liberals, feminism, and gold-diggers.
Not only did Bumble kick this guy off of their dating app, but they went ahead and publicly shamed him on their blog as well.
Bumble is an online dating app meant to empower women. On Bumble, females initiate the conversations in efforts to help eliminate situations like this.
