Last I checked he’s still got his job. The event is already fading from public consciousness as the news moves on to the next thing to be mad about. The justice system can take it from here and decide what actually needs to be done. But the public lynching without trial has luckily failed. That’s the real abuse of power.
It is sad to see that the hivemind exists just as much on Lemmy as it did on Reddit, tbh. People still haven’t figured out the points are meaningless and you can have your own opinions. Everyone keeps bringing up upvotes and downvotes like they’re supposed to have any significance. I genuinely could not care less. Sometimes people agree, sometimes they don’t. Such is life.
Where are you guys at that you get so many scammers calling you? I’ve had that happen maybe once in my life.
Same for email by the way. I do get quite a few scam mails, but Gmail at least is very good at detecting them and sending them to the spam folder.
Proving my point ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Every escalation is a step closer to nuclear war. I can understand the hesitation.
“the people” it’s just this community. If I commented elsewhere I’d get very different vote results. It’s not all black and white.
Oh no, some keyboard warriors have a different opinion of mine. How am I to survive?
Quit it with the patronization. She seems to be managing fine and she can always step to whichever authority she needs, as they both have done. We’re not in any place to decide for any of them, because again, we do not know the full context. It’s delusional to believe you have the full grasp of the situation, and it’s a dangerous precedent to expect yourself to be able to judge the situation correctly. The internet loves to lynch and hates fair trials. Stop it.
I think that’s nonsense. We have no clue what the two have said to each other beforehand, how their relationship normally is, and whatever else may have been going on. And indeed, because of that lack of knowledge none of us should get to judge him. Yet everyone here does so anyway. The popular narrative is already that the mans whole life should be ruined over 1 kiss. Madness.
The people involved should figure out a solution on their own. Not social media.
Does that something warrant him having his entire career ruined? Seems extreme.
It’s okay, internet points matter even less here than they do on reddit. Quite liberating.
I agree with you. Social media often jumps to extreme conclusions despite having zero involvement or context. We don’t know what’s really going on, and we shouldn’t be the ones to judge. Let the people involved figure it out themselves.
I seem to be getting along fine so far. Never asked before making a move, and I’ve never been asked by someone making a move. Would’ve rather ruined the mood. That’s how real life works. You feel things out, most of the time you get it right and have a fun evening, sometimes you get it wrong and make a wrong judgement call. Then you apologize and move on. I’ve been on both sides of the experience and it’s no big deal for anyone involved. Certainly no need to ruin anyones life over it.
Nonsense like this is the reason why more and more people stay single their entire life and avoid all human interaction. Social media has an extremely twisted view of how human interaction works, and expects people to at all times be able to judge exactly how the other person feels about things. Zero nuance involved.
You don’t know me, you have no idea what I’m like in real life, yet you believe you can judge my character based on just a couple of comments. That’s exactly my problem with these things. Extreme opinions without context. Let me share an excellent comment I had saved from a couple months ago, from a very similar situation concerning Vince McMahon (which, by the way, has been all but forgotten in the public consciousness already, as these things go):
It’s always pretty unfair and ridiculous, that people you have never even met somehow expect you to condemn an actual important person in your life over allegations that they, most of the time, are barely even familiar with themselves.
Just look at how many people ITT are seriously parroting Bixenspan-tier opinions about McMahon being a legitimate serial rapist, etc. when the only knowledge they have on the subject is something they read online……. or even more likely, an opinion they read from someone who read something about it online.
If you’re ready to say that you know more about the character of a man you’ve never met than a guy that’s worked with him for decades you should really start rethinking your weird parasocial relationships with tv characters.
Unfortunately none of this conversation even matters.
Luckily my girlfriend felt different about it ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Well, I’d hate to live where you do.
If giving someone a kiss makes you a sex pest then I guess you can call me one too.
I’ve done that plenty of times when going out. It’s been done to me plenty of times as well. That’s how I got my current girlfriend. This idea that you always need to first get explicit permission before making a move is not how real life works.
Besides, he’s said he asked beforehand. Who are we to judge what really happened? I have no clue.
I’ll stand by my opinion that a kiss should not nearly be serious enough to ruin someones life.
FIFA only does that because of public pressure, or else they would’ve done so a week ago.
Well, agree to disagree. I think that’s way too harsh and unfair. Too black and white.
So far I haven’t encountered much in the way of powermods on Lemmy luckily. But we’ll see. I suppose it’s probably inevitable.
