it's not about facebook, it's more 'women say things may be offensive on tv, cop vicious online abuse as result'
that old chestnut

don't google anything circle-related btw, not for this tho, just cos it's shit

the age is still giving high-profile coverage to the circle, amazing coincidence that they're both part-owned by gina rinehart

I'm angry about all this for 2 reasons: 1) she's copping it more as a woman than a man who'd said similar innocous things would (remember, this is NOTHING like the slut-shaming and direct threads Sandilands made). 2) I am sick to death of the deification of the miliary in this country. Honest to christ. They are not sent to war involuntarily, its a career, and a very bloody well paid and rewarded one. Yes, it is an extremely hard and risky career. But no one deifies surgeons or SES rescuers or vets or miners.

I'm not saying soldiers are bad or I'm agin' em. I'm not, I have friends in the military. I hate the HOW DARE YOU THEY ARE A SOLIDER YOU SHOULD DIE YOU ASSWIPE attitude. Same ppl, probably, who go to Tobruk on Anzac day and get drunk and wave flags.

literally all I'm seeing is people being outraged about the outrage, have not encountered either a) the outrage or b) the source of the outrage anywhere. this thread said outrage was on facebook, so that totally makes sense as to why I haven't, QED

"Negus and Stynes had been looking at a photograph of the shirtless war hero in a swimming pool on The Circle when Stynes, who later admitted she knew little about him, quipped: "He's going to dive down to the bottom of the pool to see if his brain is there."
Negus had then responded: "I'm sure he's a really good guy, nothing about poor old Ben. But that sort of bloke ... and what if they're not up to it in the sack?"
Another host questioned whether Negus was suggesting "that he could be a dud root", to laughter from the audience.
― Medical Dance Crab With Lesson (Trayce), Wednesday, 7 March 2012 01:18 (twelve years ago) link
What I admit I still dont get, is why they were looking at the guy in a pic. What the context was. Did they know who he was? Does anyone? I'd never heard of him before this. Is he famous for something?
She wasnt the one who called him a "dud root", that wasnt even Negus. It was whoever "another host" was. Who has never been called out on this. Nor has Negus. Funny that. Pick on the woman.
― Medical Dance Crab With Lesson (Trayce), Wednesday, 7 March 2012 01:20 (twelve years ago) link
still no idea why they were looking at a photograph of the shirtless war hero
is teh "dud root" host so bland that no-one at The Age can even look up their name?

No thats it negus wasnt, he said "those kind of blokes". not this guy in particular (tho that could be argued as weasley, I concede! And I realise theres a hypocrisy in me saying "this is just a little thing who cares" when I got in a strop about Sandilands - but I dont think the two compare?)

Curious that the Murdoch press (well News online anyway) has nothing on this on its obvious front page.
― Medical Dance Crab With Lesson (Trayce), Wednesday, 7 March 2012 01:27 (twelve years ago) link
yeah negus is just "hey like that reminds me what if you put in all the effort to get totes cut with sweet tats brah, but you weren't as magic between the sheets as some bloke with glasses and a chunky mustache ~think abt it~"
some nameless other host, possibly a faceless man on loan from Kev's House Of Strawmen, or a chick without a funny name we enjoy typing, says "nyaaaahhhhh... dud root eh?" and Negus gets pilloried
