Want a really good reason to dislike Facebook?

Activists are pressuring companies to boycott Facebook over its content promoting violence against women (like above).

Are you FUCKING joking

ARE

YOU

JOKING

OH

BUT WE ALL NEED TO CALM DOWN ABOUT THIS SHIT

WE’RE ALL TOO SENSITIVE

PEOPLE THINK THIS SHIT IS FUCKING OK YOU FUCKING SLACK JACKED ULTRASIMPLE TOO DAMN IGNORANT TO FUCKING GET IT PIECES OF LOW GRADE HORSE SHIT GOOD FUCKING GOD FUCK THIS SHIT

I deleted my account ages ago because that site is fucking trash.

Here’s a lovely quote from from an FB spokesperson tho

“However, as you may expect in any diverse community of more than a billion people, we occasionally see people post distasteful or disturbing content, or make crude attempts at humor,” the official statement from Facebook said. “While it may be vulgar and offensive, distasteful content on its own does not violate our policies. We do require that any such page be clearly marked — so users are aware that the content may be in poor taste.”

and apparently the things under the cut are just “crude attempts at humor that do not violate facebook’s policies” and are “in poor taste”

Pictures of violently beaten and bloodied women and page after page of rape apologism/violent descriptions and encouragement of rape are just “distasteful humor”

but, y’know, images of people breastfeeding and whatnot are violations.

I hope their fucking servers burst into flame and take these assholes with them.

and I hope they burn niiiice and sloooow.

Also, the sheer number of people that have created these pages….that LIKE these pages…..and are primarily men.

Yeah, this is one of many reasons why women do not trust men.

You know, there was a rapist loose on some campus people were talking about awhile ago.

and you know what was all over his facebook page?

Links upon links of “liked” pages with a large chunk of them being misogynistic crap, sandwich jokes, DV jokes, rape jokes….

The idea that it’s all “just a joke” and these men are perfectly harmless and respect women in RL and NONE of this crap permeates their RL perceptions of women….

IS FUCKING BULLSHIT.

WAKE THE FUCK UP.

Gonna say right off the bat:  Tumblr’s got its issues.  Creeps and bigots run riot, the moderators refuse to do fuck-all about it, but what you hear people whining/joking about is the soshul justus wuryurz (read: anyone with the temerity to say “not okay” to the above bullshit).

But that said?  Shit like that is one of several reasons that I refuse to fucking touch Failbook,
