Kineth is right.

Even though you're not. Sometimes I troll a bit. We all do. But I'm not trolling right now. I just like to have fun with my discussions.

Don't fall for it, Asher. Now he's pretending he's human. It's part of his gimmick. The guy is obtuse like this 100% of the time.

And why are celebrities being targeted at such a higher rate?

Yes, why are the public figures getting so much attention?

You don't think they could make a pervy Jew joke funny?

Think about this, for just a little bit.

The silver lining is Ellison may get appointed to his seat if he resigns.

So that'd be pretty cool.

Very very disappointed in him though.

Actually "I don't even wait, I just start kissing them" sounds like something Trump and Franken would have in common.

It's fair. Having some schadenfreude over feminist allies, progressives, etc. being outed as sexual abusers isn't much different than feeling the same over family values, Christian conservatives being outed as gay or perverts.

Let's not pretend folks on the Left don't feel some of that whenever some anti-gay conservative Republican gets caught trying to suck some dick in a public bathroom or gets caught frequenting male prostitutes.

To be fair, Franken waited until after he badgered and pressured her until she gave in before he shoved his tongue down her throat.

Yeah, stories and words are one thing, but actual pictorial evidence is a whole different and stronger beast.

Well again, the picture just looks really weird. I don't think he's actually making contact

The real shit thing imo is him forcing a kiss.

The latter is about consensual sex and the former is not, which is why it comes off as being slimy.

At least it's only one decade ago, instead of three or four.

lol comparing getting caught having consensual sex with a gay man to sexual assault. You really need to rethink that.

It's pretty damn significant when a fire-and-brimstone "family values" firehose gets caught doing it.

Only because those politicians often build their political careers on ostracizing gay people.

Some people are just all partisan. They don't care about sexual assault, just taking down the other side.

I really don't.

People get fairly amused when hypocrites are outed. It isn't a comparison of consensual sex vs. sexual assault. It's about the schadenfreude we feel when someone who publically espouses certain viewpoints turns out to be in total violation of them.

For example, if you have some guy who's a male feminist and progressive, talking about how important feminism, consent, respecting women, etc is and attacking other people publically as misogynist and abusers of women, it's amusing when it turns out he is actually the one abusing women.

As a bonus, it really gives weight to the accusations of virtue signalling when it turns out they're actually going out of their way to display how good and virtuous they apparently are to deflect the spotlight from their own misdeeds.

What the fuck?

Wolf! Wolf! There's a Democratic WOLF IN THE FIELD!!!!!!

Sorry, I really* don't want to be in the business of picking and choosing which assault claims I believe but god damn I have become jaded. The start of the article didn't do her any favors either. Whenever someone is obviously trying to get me emotionally on their side, bringing up not only their but their father's service? I feel like they're trying to play me. :\

There's a picture him gleefully committing sexual harassment, and he admitted to the whole ordeal.

Franken's response, if it hasn't been posted. My mistake if it has.

What's the "humor" anyway? Attempting to cop a feel through body-armor?

Feels like were starting to get to the part of this where the claims begin to have an axe to grind nature to them.

Imagine mugging for the camera while you grope an unconscious woman. Disgusting. At least we have real, tangible evidence so we can do away with the smarmy UUUUUH HE'S ONLY ACCUSED GUYS OMG comments that are positively annoying to read.

Why should they be outted and punished at a higher rate than not celebs?

They shouldn't be. But, also, there's a reason why senators and actors are given public attention that Applebee's managers are not

Anyone caught should be punished. Duh.

And obviously people with more eyes on them are easier to snatch up in a scandal than random people. The overwhelming majority of us aren't worth paying any attention to.

A political-assassination of Franken is irrelevant, as the democratic governor of Minnesota would almost certainly appoint another democrat anyway.

Always good to see progressive hypocrites fall

Okay, Kineth, Esrac-senpai has noticed you.

I'd direct you to my post #127. It's not about whether it's consensual sex or sexual assault. It's about being amused at the outing of hypocrites.

Yeah it's like the picture itself is whatever. It's in awful taste and s***ty, but it just looks like he's hovering.

Idk man she is asleep and he is photographing his hands over her boobs.

Even if he didn't do more than that, how would anyone know?

I realise my error now. The first page is still filled with people not believing the account of the victim, even if there's real, tangible evidence right in front of their faces. A mock grope? A gag? A hoverhand? "No evidence of anything else happening?" "We need his politics." "Just a prank, bro!" Come on, guys. This is bullshit that needs to be addressed, not delegitimized and minimized.

To be fair, Franken waited until after he badgered and pressured her until she gave in before he shoved his tongue down her throat.

To be fair, in Fanken's case, the victim is a real person.
