Forget it, Jake. It’s … uh… you know…
Your sentence doesn’t make sense.
And this happened in what forum?
I take offense to that! It’s a reference to the movie Chinatown, which is not 100% politically correct, and therefore the reference is completely inappropriate!
Fwiw, it was hard not to be aware of the “couch fucking” meme in a political discussion. Although i personally found it a little odd, as i assume a lot of horny teenagers engage in that general kind of behavior, and it seems inappropriate to hold it against an adult Even if there was proof that he’d done it.
You can’t because the words themselves are not offensive.
Right, it is a form of bullying, even though it is bullying of an odious person.
Yes they are. You honestly don’t see that?
LOL, the part where I’m reminded that people here are really tightly wrapped.

I’m going to add my post despite the thread being closed because I was the moderator.
I am certainly familiar with the film reference. The film came out in 2002, more than 2 decades ago, portraying an era that was in the 60s.
Things have changed.
We moderate for current standards.
Posts about J.D. Vance and what he may have been doing with a couch and a rubber glove are expected to be discussed in a thread about J.D. Vance and things he has said or written. Such posts subject only J.D. Vance to ridicule or bullying.
Your post smeared Asian women, who had no part in what J.D. Vance may have said or done.
That’s the difference.
Moderator Note
I’m not sure I would call this trolling, but snark and hyperbole never serve any useful purpose in ATMB. Based on this comment, your overall condescending attitude in this thread, and insults directed at the staff (“ignorant and stupid” and “panty-twisted”), this will remain closed.
If you want to make an argument for less strict moderation, this is a perfect example of how not to do it.
I also advise you to pay attention to this:
