    This board is bonkers in that sense.

    Can imagine introducing 2 posters off here to one another "Hi offended, this is offended"

    Do you actually think that people on here are angrier about a tweet than 4 girls allegedly being raped? Or is the tweet a point of discussion because it goes without saying that the alleged crime is vile and despicable?

    It's so obvious that that's the case, I don't know what weird point you two are trying to make

    It's also kinda difficult to get angry regarding something you know nothing about.

    No doubt if people knew the details of the allegations against Mendy and his guilt was beyond doubt, they would be angry.

    Of course I don't. It's just an observation and I was agreeing with someone else who wrote it

    More likely due to a breach of conditions imposed after an earlier arrest in respect of which he was still under investigation.

    It’s possible to think raping someone is one of the worst things you can do while also thinking someone who’s a bit of a public figure being obviously and outwardly racist is bad.

    It also depends on whether or not you secretly agree with what this fox bloke tweeted. I bet that some people do, so saying that more people seem offended by the tweet rather than the allegation of rape, sort of trivialises what fox has said. Deflection to a certain degree. Although i don't think that anyone in this thread agrees with what Fox tweeted.

    It’s little wonder a lot of rapes don’t get reported.
    Oh yes ,spot on , gotta keep yer eye out though for right wing nutters it's far more important.

    I’m the one who made the observation and it certainly wasn’t to deflect anything Fox said. He’s an arsehole but if people just ignored the idiot instead of getting outraged maybe he would crawl back under his rock. He’s clearly saying these things purposely to get a reaction from people, and so those getting outraged, especially those trying to engage with him on social media, just give the guy attention he craves. Starve the guy of oxygen.

    They're just massive bellends. There's not much point in discussing these people and their reactionary opinions. They hold little or no sway and are their to get a reaction. Some people just crave attention. They're the internet's equivalent of a drunk reactionary family member at a wedding party. Everyone knows what that person is like and most steer clear. A reaction is what they crave. Sad individuals.

    How could it draw attention to him? Twitter is about the only outlet he can use, because it's easy for people to spread his comments around. If he writes a blog, or whatever, it can't be done anywhere near as easily.

    I don't see how being off Twitter would increase the attention he gets. If that was true, who would use Twitter?

    Deplatforming works quite well. When was the last time we heard from trump?

    It probably would have been wise to use the word allegedly.

    He blanked the media when he came out of court, which is not surprising after what happened.
