Stupid shit you see on the internet

To be fair, it's only being released in hardback, meaning that Routledge isn't expecting it to be the next Wilbur Smith. They'll buy anything nowadays, I should know.

@no-quarter just confirm for me which was the stupid post?
The original pisstake about rape culture, or the rebuttal... or was that a pisstake?
I find it very difficult to tell what is/is not satire these days. People are claiming the original was legit...

That's an obvious pisstake.
My favourite thing about this whole "SJW" thing now is that the "anti-SJW" brigade are becoming a perfect mirror-image of what they despise. Easily "triggered", no sense of humour, and just straight up dumb as fuck. -
@Kruse if you follow the National Peer Review twitter account above and see some of the stuff they post that is coming straight out of Universities, you'll see how blurred the line between real and satire has become when it comes to the SJWs.
As you say though, surely that's a pisstake, surely...

Easily "triggered", no sense of humour, and just straight up dumb as fuck.Just further to this, it does not appear to be a pisstake on the author's behalf. She's on twitter as well, works in theater and boasts about favouring "artists of colour" etc. She's obviously a lunatic, not to be taken seriously, which is why I posted this in the "so stupid it's funny" thread instead of the Politics forum.
Take your point on the outrage stuff though, there's some really stupid shit on both sides these days. People seem hell bent on being triggered by everything and it does get tiresome. A post like that should only draw amusement at the sheer idiocy of it

They must be piss-taking trolls, though, Shirley?

@nepia Probably?
I find his dumb, stoner gamer, obsessed with "tactical" gear and assault rifles (for Neighbourhood Watch duties), persona rather amusing.
Oh, I just read the one tweet posted and couldn't make sense of it, I didn't read any others.

@antipodean I've seen her mentioned in trendy media (probably the Guardian) a few times, but she sounds fucking dire.
