What if you said a similar type comment, but on camera to a television reporter who decided to ask you a question to clarify the "joke" (remember that the general public does not consider this a joke, nor does it consider it funny), and you involved the reporter or their child in the joke (e.g. similar to the "vibrator" comment)?
- darklajid 11y agoAgreed. If we're talking about the drunken guys in front of the camera and the FHRITP thing (I .. didn't even know about that), that's plain insulting. That's the point, I guess: Insult/provoke in a direct manner. But this thread and the article talk about other cases as well and I'd argue that the PyCon case was merely a private conversation that someone overheard. I'd expect to be able to say the lines above to a friend and bystanders have nothing to do with it.
- kohanz 11y agoYes, the Pycon and FHRITP scenarios are on completely different planets as far as I'm concerned. I guess I'm focusing more on the latter because of recency bias and because it's in my backyard, geographically.
