> [@Itchy\_Toe](#): > > Pretty much everything. Ugly tats was banging some French dude, Anthony Bourdain found out about it, and instead of throwing her ass out, decided he’s had enough. Ugly tats is the victim here, though. Poundmetoo and all. I see where not yet in the Pit, so I’ll just observe that [Anthony Bourdain suffered from depression](https://metro.co.uk/2018/06/09/anthony-bourdain-opened-battle-depression-parts-unknown-feel-isolated-7618541/) and therefore your ugly assertion is wholly without fact or merit, and not worth the electricity used to beam it into our faces.

> [@UnwittingAmericans](#): > > #MeToo won’t survive this. It took about 4 months longer than I expected. > > Winners: Due process and therefore (sigh) Trump. Poundmetoo thing is hilarious. It’s like every other week we find out that its biggest stars are rapists, wife beaters, sexual predators, and simply scum. Watching the subsequent reaction is priceless:" sure, she cucked her boyfriend to death, but internet bullies are mean to her, therefore… victim!" The amount of insane rationalization for the vilest behavior by poundmetooers is amazing. ---

Coming up next: long-winded and tortured explanations on how exactly ugly tats sleeping around had nothing to do with Antony Bourdain finding out about it and hanging himself 5 days later. ---

Ugly tats apparenly tried to contain the damage, but the interwebs being what it is, Antony found out anyway “When Argento realized she and Clément had been photographed, she asked Barillari to delete the shots, he said.” ---

A victim in one case can be a perpetrator in another case. The one doesn’t cancel out the other. You can’t “cuck someone to death.” What exactly are you trying to suggest by writing “poundmetoo”? That victims are asking for it? ---

> [@Acsenray](#): > > You can’t "cuck someone to death That’s what I thought as well, but ugly tats killed Antony Bourdain as sure as Eric Schneiderman liked to slap the bejeesus out of his progressive and enlightened feminist girlfriends. ---

Can’t someone be both victim and predator? As an example, for child abuse my understanding was most (though not all) child abusers grew up in an abusive home. ---

> [@Acsenray](#): > > What exactly are you trying to suggest by writing “poundmetoo”? That victims are asking for it? I just find it funny, that’s all. And so far, the real victim here is Antony Bourdain. He was cucked by a poundmetooer and checked out. ---

This shows the strength of the broader movement, not any weaknesses – the overwhelming response to this by #MeToo supporters has been condemnation of the abuse of a teenage boy. ---

> [@iiandyiiii](#): > > This shows the strength of the broader movement, not any weaknesses Right. War is peace. Freedom is slavery. Ignorance is strength. Poundmetoo hasn’t been this strong since our boy Eric used his strong and progressive girlfriends as punching bags. ---

And now it looks like ugly tats was grooming that boy for rape since he was 7 years old. Poundmetoo just got a whole buncha stronger! ---

All these questions are irrelevant to the issue at hand. You’re suggesting a societal issue that would have negative impacts on some people. OK. What I’m discussing is whether an individual person who is offered sex for favors is guilty of sexual assault. Nothing you’ve written has any bearing at all on that. > [@iiandyiiii](#): > > This shows the strength of the broader movement, not any weaknesses – the overwhelming response to this by #MeToo supporters has been condemnation of the abuse of a teenage boy.

I did not care for the me too movement at first,but it seems like a good thing now as a lot of dirt is coming into the light. That she is a hypocrite does not shock me to be honest.I would not be surprised if more woman who who complained about him have skeletons in their closets. With that being said I feel cheated. Why can’t I have been that 17 year old dude getting my brains screwed out by a hot 32 year old woman when I was that age. Dude when I got older I would have been like hey baby you better give me some more of that lovin or I will report you to the media. ---
