Comment on Why is Twitter promoting rape tweets?

Comments

Her writing it comes across as "wow, I can't believe I just heard that", to me. She quotes it with no indication she was agreeing, but as something interesting, shocked someone would say that. (Probably because it is exactly NOT something people would generally say.)

I understand if you think they should filter certain words from being promoted, there's a conversion to be had there, but how could you possibly think she was advocating rape in any way?

Someone needs to up the minimum emotional age required to use twitter, that's all.

The issue isnt just the tweet itself but the fact it was promoted.
