- kelukelugames 9y agoI have a hard time understanding why anyone thinks outrage is an inappropriate reaction to Harvey Wienstein. Guess people have different thresholds for empathy.
- coldtea 9y agoOutrage is an inappropriate reaction to anything. Public outrage even more so. Rational reasoned handling of a situation is the only treatment that's not worse than the malady. Note how the final statement is empty virtue signaling: "Guess people have different thresholds for empathy" -- in other words, I'm outraged because I have the appropriate amounts of empathy, unlike those that are not participating in mass outrage, who lack it. The idea that someone can have empathy and not fall into fits of outrage is not entertained.
- kelukelugames 9y agoI've never been seriously sexually assaulted or had my classmates shot in front of me. So I don't know how I would respond nor can I tell someone what is the appropriate reaction. I don't think anyone can predict how they would react. It's like Trump saying he's run into the classroom to stop the gunmen. Nobody believes that.
