This Is What Happens When a Woman Supports Bernie Sanders Online
- makecheck 11y agoProbably a lot of toxicity would be removed if it were harder for people to comment. You wouldn't have to raise the bar very high, I think, to convince people that it's not worth the trouble to write a few hurtful words. For example, maybe follow-up comments to material require completion of a tiny survey (like 2 questions) from the submitter, that must be answered 100% correctly to “prove” that a visitor at least read the material and understood it enough to comment. And for people too lazy for that, have an alternative like “or, to post this comment, 45 cents will be deducted from your account”.

- Joof 11y agoThis might be because she's a model; a job where intellect isn't a huge factor (smart people can be models too, but there's no requirement). People are dicks, but taking advice from a model is probably a bad idea. Male models tend to get less attention, but I imagine it wouldn't be much different.
- kafkaesq 11y agoThis might be because she's a model; No -- there's a huge undercurrent of misogyny (and sexual frustration) running through many of these comments. Variations on the old "if you don't want to get catcalled, you should be out dressing like that" line, basically.
