Fuck you!  That's all I have to say, fuck you!

I dunno, the moral outrage angle is dulled after you've said that to virtually every woman with an opinion.

Yeah, see, that's how you kick a guy when he's down...and out...and hopelessly ensnared in a living nightmare. Angry, obsessive slacktivist blogger couldn't help but tie her intolerance to an international news story to help strip this man of his personhood. Why would anyone even believe the charge? It's North Korea, FFS. Even if he did try to take a propaganda poster, so what? You're going to defend North Korea?

The comments section is nothing but bile.

And the original writer would deserve being shown exactly how it is in one of those camps for trying to justify such barbarism.

I think I understand what the point was supposed to be, but the execution is just terrible.  In the article, she uses the same arguments used here to justify the treatment of black people in society, which would be a good point, but using North Korea as the backdrop is horrible.  People who agree with this article (and the author, by the end) appropriate the suffering of North Koreans by going "hey man, we get it, we've been there" -- even if it's directed to Warmbier, North Koreans live with this reality every day; they then turn around and defend the dictatorship that causes their suffering with comments like "he deserved it for breaking their laws", for no other reason than a person from an American privileged class is finally getting knocked down a peg by them.  You can't defend a broken system (and that's a generous term here) just because it happened to punish someone you don't like.

Eric Garner, Sandra Bland, Mike Brown, and others like them, died because of American racial issues plaguing America, not because they lived in one of the worst dictatorial regimes in modern history where literally anyone and their family could be executed or be sent to a work camp.  Comparing anything in the US to North Korea just seems to really trivialize just how bad things are over there.

Also, why the hell is anyone believing North Korea's version of events on anything?

I think the real tragedy here is that the guy's last name is literally "warm beer" in German. That's just a horrible thing to call yourself.

Eh, can't say that it's connected to "white privilege" per se.

That said, entering North Korea to steal a propaganda banner for shits and giggles is as rock-hard stupid as it gets.

They're talking about an annual two week long event on Flight Rising (a dragon pet site).



So they willingly play a game that they knew would exacerbate preexisting conditions, then accuse the site of ableism when it bites them in the ass.  Participating in the coliseum isn't even required for the event (it just gives you an advantage when it comes to gathering event exclusive items).  They chose to put themselves in that position for no other reason than they wanted more holiday items, and felt that that was more important than their health.

FR might have a shitty battle system, but even if it could be considered ableist, this person's injury isn't the site's fault.  That shit's all on them.

Second worst German name.

The name of the Schwartzkopf beauty supply brand makes me giggle.  Most people are trying to remove blackheads, not buy their hair gel.

My favorite part is when she grabs him and then claims he's touching her.

Does she harass homeless white people who have involuntary natural dreads, too?

SJW vs Weeaboo, WHO WILL WIN?

I'll bet $20 on the weeb, at least they might have a decorative weapon that could still do damage.
