Before, she was just a carrier, eh?
The Spike Wars did bad things to people, I fear, and she was a serious apologist back in the day. Which, err. Not so amusingly, wound up being kind of triggering for some of us.
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Cracking gimp jokes when not in fact yourself a gimp (at least, nobody I've googled up has told me otherwise about him) does not make him edgy and it sure doesn't make him brave.
He's a jackass. Note to "comedy" writers: rape jokes aren't actually funny. No, not even prison-rape jokes. No, not even about widely reviled public figures.
At least commit a fresh outrage, dude. "dropping the soap" jokes probably go back to Hammerabi, even if I didn't agree with Tep. Which I mostly do. I do think the talking dog is funny, though.
erika, I haven't heard of the jerk who makes gimp jokes without being one. He can't be that good. You, you're great at it (with the helpful advantage of being disabled while you make the jokes. As well as at other times).
I have a friend who is in the ironically-titled 'stand up comedy' line of work. She's so good, I can't understand why she only plays to small audiences. Then I go to a multiple-comedian gig in a big London theatre, and all these ignorant wankers are making jokes about 'flids' (that being the entire punchline of the joke, with nothing actually interesting or clever there) and think they're funny. Regardless of the fact that my friend is disabled, she blows them out of the water. Mainly because her disability jokes are actually, y'know, funny.
Evening class was not worth leaving the house for. Hmph.
Oh, I really liked Family Guy for the first couple-few seasons. Then it just became a preponderance of rape jokes and musical numbers that are obviously filler because the episode ran too short. I don't care that Seth Macfarlane can sing in different voices, man. We get it!

Heh. Yeah, umm, from my experience with her in her fandom days, she's on the list with C-- G-- in the RUN! RUN SCREAMING! category.
Though, that said, it's unfortunate that she's having to deal with her PTSD.
What Plei said, except for the fandom part. I used to be a huge fan of hers but, umm, drastically changed my mind. Can't even remember exactly what did it.
And hearing that she was a Spike apologist is just weird, b/c doesn't she opine that RPF=rape?
Not that I want to open a whole can o' worms or anything.
Most of my Family Guy-induced laughter is choked down with a shame chaser.
ION, how's my Bitches? (she says, posting and running)
And, yes, I'm partially quite jealous that thoughts I thought were stupid over my teenaged pop-tarts back in the eighties bought his house.(not exactly...mine didn't come with drawings, but close enough to sting) for sure.

A lot of feminists have had the same experience with her in various feminism boards and communities. She is the light and the way who decides who is a good feminist and who isn't. Among other things if you claim to enjoy giving blow jobs you are lying and a bad bad feminist. But I'm still sorry she is experience PSTD, and think she is being treated horribly.
Nothing in that post needed saying twice.
Oooh, Pete is taking me to Purple tonight. The place that a bunch of us went during the f2f!
I need to get back to Seattle if only to go to that restaurant when I can actually eat something. Which also reminds me that I need to order a case of that lavender soda.
