I'm still not getting it. I'm not sure when everyone became omniscient regarding the future outcome of a criminal investigation and trial, but you may actually be surprised to find out that people actually do convicted of rape and go to prison based usually on the testimony of the victim. In short, she, you, me, or anyone else can not say what will happen. What I can say for certain that until she actually goes to the police, then nothing will happen to the guy other than a bunch of online harassment - which I would point out - may or may not be deserved because twitter does not equal an investigation done by professionals, a.k.a. detectives.
Mind you, in this case, as a popularity contest, a Twitter war might be interesting. EVERY chick I know would throw themselves at James Dean and let him do what he wants to them... Not to make light of the whole "rape" thing, I think it'll be an interesting little social experiment to see how it plays out. Personally, I don't give a shit about this kind of stuff in the media, other than as a source of entertainment... I don't get "outraged" or buy into the drama. I do find it funny the number of people who get pissed when shit like this isn't taken seriously, due to some weird thought that because I don't take this social/public display seriously I somehow condone rape or violence against anyone.
For posterity, let us look at the things written about James Deen by members of this board in the past, and judge them for it based on current information. https://www.theidiotboard.com/threads/porn.4481/
If you can manage to convict someone based on nothing more than "she says nonconsensual, he says consensual" with no physical evidence or corroborating testimony and with severe prejudicial bias against the victim, then I need your phone number because you are a brilliant lawyer beyond compare. If there is more evidence, who knows. She knows more than you or I do in this instance. But if that's all there is? Incredibly uphill sledding for all involved, and maybe she just didn't want to go through all that for a snowball's chance in hell. Moreover, how do we even know she didn't go to the police? It's entirely possible that she did and was told there was nothing they could do about it. The statement "until she goes to the police" is presumptuous. Regardless of whether he did it or not, it is likely false that there won't be any other consequences for Deen. It's entirely possible that people in the sex industry will be wary of working with an accused rapist. Imagine you're a woman slated to do a scene with him: this really doesn't change your opinion at all? He also has a series of videos on his site where non professionals send in applications to do a scene with him; it's likely that some of those women will think twice before hitting send. And what about the people viewing his videos? How many clicks does this lose him? I don't know numbers, but I've talked to at least two women who intend to stop watching his videos. In particular, this could be professionally devastating for Deen compared to another actor, given that an enormous proportion of his appeal has been that he is, according to many women, one of few porn stars that gives them the impression that he earnestly cares about women. He's not just a random dick to a lot of his fans: as Stoya's tweet suggested, a huge part of his entire schtick is built around this idea of being the porn star for feminists. I genuinely don't understand the idea that he is entitled to her silence, or that in his professional or private life, he is entitled to the presumption of innocence until proven beyond a reasonable doubt in court. Neither of those are standards that we apply to other aspects of our lives.
Kobe has announced he is retiring following this season. Average NBA FG% will jump 5 percent next year.
Seriously, if he had any pride he would do what Elgin Baylor did back in 1971 and retire right now. He has nothing left. Elgin Baylor was a 13 time all star, but saw 9 games into the 1971-1972 season that he could no longer produce and retired. The very next game the Lakers started their 33 game winning streak and wound up winning the NBA championship.
Actually, the dude has too much pride. It's hubris. He's comically over-believes in himself; Ronda Rousey before Ronda Rousey. After losing to the Warriors and going something like 1-14 and scoring a TOTAL of 4 points, he said "I could have scored 44 and we still would have lost." It's going to be interesting, in a "Charlie Sheen meltdown" kinda way, to see what happens to him after basketball. He's gonna just implode on himself. Iverson is a good blueprint.
So I just got back from seeing The Reverend Horton Heat play in Houston last night. Highlights/lowpoints: -I found someone to buy the extra ticket I had; a fat girl with a crush on me (whose sentiments I do not reciprocate). - She drove and paid for damn near everything. - She got obliterated drunk at the show and almost got us kicked out; I had to babysit her for most of the show. - She got uncomfortably grabby/physical with me at the show (Actual quote: "Wow, feel those muscles! I just want to bite 'em!" And then she bit my bicep, and later my shoulder...) - The tickets I bought said that some guy named Johnny Reno was a "featured guest." I thought that meant he was the opening act, BUT IT TURNS OUT THAT HE WAS THE VOCALIST FOR ABOUT HALF OF THE REVEREND'S SET. THAT IS NOT WHAT I PAID FOR. (Several people I talked to said that Jim Heath's voice is shot these days. I don't know myself, that's just what I heard.) -After the show, I was outside waiting for our cab, and I saw Jim Heath going out to his tour-bus. He refused to take pictures or sign autographs, and had his bodyguard shoo-off the fans (you know, the people who helped make him famous.). Also, he is REALLY short; probably 5'6" or so; I initially didn't recognize him because of that. -It turns out that no restaurants in Houston will deliver after midnight. That's some bullshit right there. All in all, I'd give this concert a thumbs-down. This song (performed by Heath) was probably the highlight of the show.
Should have warmed up to the fat chick... she's probably really good at oral, and would know how to get food delivered. Your newly found preference for man-ass has left you a bit short-sighted on the outside.
I didn't want to fuck this girl because 1) she's crazy, and 2) I want to fuck her best friend. EDIT: She's not that fat; think of a light-skinned, Mexican version of Pam Poovey Trust me, if I didn't want to ruin my chances with her friend (and she wasn't crazy, can't forget that), I would TOTALLY push that cushion. Nett (and society) ain't joking about fat-girls' fellatio skills.
The best friend would fall even harder for you because she would appreciate the grenade you fell on. Hell, it's a sure-fire threesome in the making.
You took her friend to a concert. You have now shown your value as the fat friend babysitter. Dixie, welcome to the friend zone with the one you wanted. Although there's always that bad boy, child endangerment wildcard factor. Girls go hard for that shit.
Wow. Just wow. My first trip back to the gym was both sad and disheartening....who knew you couldn't get stronger simply by eating more pie?
Why can't you just follow the list, Crown? You obviously are still a boy and don't realize infallibility and cream filling related weight gain are directly correlated. You cis pussy. Saw this on FB. It got me rationally angry.
"Hug you when you PUNCH him?" No, you don't get to fucking do that. Only a boy would stand there and take that. Is that list anything else but Poe's Law? That sounds like somebody who didn't realized she got D.E.N.N.I.S'ed. "You're the one that's GOOD."
