hey gawker dudes. what the fuck is wrong with you?

^^^^

I'm sure there are people here who have actual experience w depositions besides myself, being sarcastic basically signals contempt for the process/the law, maybe not the smartest tack to take

lol yes the real-life experience of watching a TV show is def relevant here

lol just as relevant as the usual ilx sanctimony

lol what the fuck are you talking about do u get paid by gawker per defensive comment itt

its funny how ilx went from the place where ppl were amoral assholes to me to the place where ppl are moralizing assholes to me

the important thing is, i am always wrong, now that we've established that lets get back to finger-wagging at a kid fucking joke

well for a real life analogue you can also look at the bieber deposition from a few years ago

let the record show that i have always tended toward being a moralizing scold, despite efforts to curb this tendency

no one forced you to defend a sarcastic joke during testimony about publishing underage sex tapes xxp

like what kind of person sees a joke [made under oath?] about pedophilia and decides the real problem is ppl taking it too seriously? (answer: someone looking to get paid)

tbrr deej, the thing that was most awful about that deposition was the entitlement. "oh, i shouldn't have to answer to anything. we make our own standards." it's just bullshit/antisocial

you're not a fan of entitlement. especially the entitlement of new york hipster media elites. are you?

no but then i never actually claimed to be defending this guy! just getting annoyed at bad tweets

why do u think anyone gives a fuck about some gamergate idiot on twitter who thinks the comment was literally endorsing child pornography? it's almost like you feel so compelled to defend gawker that you look for the most outrageous response so that at least there's some legitimate critique u can make.

i think you question my motives so u can feel better when you have a bad day

or not, idgaf

my day is okay; i just don't really like you v much and you make it so easy to remember why

this is a bizarre thing to compulsively defend, mordy otm

deej, the ppl who took the comments literally -- ie believed gawker would publish underage sex tapes -- are so out in left field, idk why you would care about them

on the other hand the "media expert" that Bollea's team on the stand apparently was pretty clown shoes

peak deej

the place where ppl were amoral assholes to me

does this indicate a longing for the halcyon days of yore, I can't tell

hulk hogan is a racist self-absorbed pos - it has been said many times before but hogan + gawker deserve each other

I wonder if Mr. The Love Sponge will testify

ilx hates racism
chinese ppl are the most disgusting savages in all the world imo

i didnt have to go looking for them & i dont follow gamergaters its actually a fairly mainstream response bc media literacy pays attention to the headline & not the article in the age of social media

deej this conversation mode of staking out an opinion no one is really arguing against followed by "no you guys are bad" is mystifying

just observing ilx's high horse media analysis is a recent transition

pretty sure that racist thread from eight years ago is populated by totally different ppl than this thread

Can you believe this thread's barely a year old? So much clusterfuck. One little gossip site.

i miss caity

the noise board was always full of "edgy" obnoxious crap bearing little resemblance to a serious discussion of anything

that's the board description iirc

I hope they reach a settlement that leads to Mr. Bollea becoming one of their primary content providers.

http://nypost.com/2016/03/11/blah-blah-blah-gawker-editor-blew-off-woman-who-begged-him-to-remove-possible-rape-video/

I don't remember this at all (probably because I wasn't paying attention to Gawker at the time) but it seems to reinforce the narrative that Daulerio has the judgment of a peanut

him and shia labofa look related

Misread that, agreed

"Blah, blah, blah," Daulerio blithely replied before segueing into a defense of the Huey Lewis and the News discography.

A 2011 GQ profile titled “The Worldwide Leader in Dong Shots” labeled Daulerio’s decision to post the video as being among his “darkest moments” and asks whether he has a soul.

Gawker later reversed course and removed the post, with Daulerio admitting regrets to GQ magazine because the video “wasn’t funny” and “was possibly rape.”

lol

am I the only one that doubts that Gawker would refuse to publish an underage sex tape on ethical (as opposed to legal) grounds

er lol was to Old Lunch yikes

waiting for an update from our roving reporter D-40 on how people on Twitter have gotten the tone of the "Blah blah blah" response wrong

Raving

he roves as well

wow at anyone other than their lawyers still defending these vermin

ive never defended him about anything! wtf is wrong with you guys

you have this psychic need for someone to beat up on since obviously no gawker employees are posting in this thread so you jump on me when i say something that isn't 100% self righteous moralizing about how gawker is repulsive, the only acceptable tone or content allowed in this thread is literally patting ourselves on the back for recognizing that gawker is 'vermin'

fwiw I am aware that you were not defending Daulerio

xp i cgaf about the crimes of gawker media but if you don't get why you are consistently being scoffed at itt i don't know what to tell you
