Being slandered on Twitter is far from non-trivial. I too would walk on eggshells in the company of someone with a track record of over-reacting like this.
- scarmig 14y agoWho's being slandered, exactly? They did tell the sexist jokes, right?
- kanja 14y agoWrong. The joke was not sexist in any way - to call it so is a deliberate misrepresentation of the situation.
- shardling 14y agoThere are varying definitions of the word sexist that complicate the issue -- but here it doesn't matter! Because Adria didn't call them sexist, certainly not in the twitter or blog posts I've read. She just said it made her uncomfortable.
- doktrin 14y agoShe made allegations of harassment and alluded to gender issues. Most people accept that "sexism" was at issue here, and she herself doesn't dispute this. There's no sense in nitpicking on minor semantics.
- shardling 14y agoOk, so tell that to the folk upthread who started using exactly that set of semantics as part of their attack on Adria. ("The joke was not sexist in any way".)
- doktrin 14y agoThis is about how she portrayed the events. She accused them of being sexist, referring to the action as harassment and calling the individuals involved "assclowns". I don't really see how the joke is sexist either, but that's not really the issue here.
- jlgreco 14y agoAs far as I can tell the jokes were anatomical, at worse sexual. I find myself unable to bend my mind into seeing them as sexist.
