victimised

Giving in on something like this means you will be victimised again later on. Once you start paying the danegeld it's hard to get rid of the dane.

Looks like the OP is one more poor soul victimised by the beggars. Fortunately in my case their greed acted much quickly, hence I escaped them within 15 days of opening account.

How about you ask those who were abused whether they feel like they are not victimised by people spreading and owning images of their abuse. The victims are quite obviously real.

The rationale is to protect child pornography victims from being further victimised by having their photos spread. It is hard to have a strong moral point against that.

Nevertheless, I'm sorry that she felt victimised, and I think her account is a useful vantage point from which to discuss issues of "cultural fit" in all-male teams.

You should see everything under the self-development lens, where everything is an opportunity for growth, and never feel victimised. Your goal after a bad trip should not be just "to recover", but rather to become your best yet.

However you come across as claiming that Microsoft is being victimised by a conspiracy of unreasoning and unreasonable hatred by HNers and the mods." Blatant bias"?

Reddit is overwhelmingly 4chan graduates, full of men who perceived themselves to be victimised by women who are trying to assert their humanity.

Action against those in positions of power who cause harm to others is meaningfully different to action against those who are already victimised. The first is a movement for social change that increases the net good in the world, the second is simple oppression.

I myself for instance, will do this sort of thing when very many people are being victimised by a large company, because when you are outnumbered and outgunned you have to fight dirty. if it was just me, and one individual in particular, i'd have a much harder time justifying it.

Of the classes of people most victimised by police are in no financial position to instigate a court case just to find out if the cops bodycam footage show him beating/tasing their son/father/brother.

I wasn't painting people with disabilities as tragically victimised or any of that other shit. I gave one example that happened to be about people with a disability, then talked about advantage and privilege as largely abstract concepts.

Seems like Trump played really well into the victim complex then - if you throw yourself behind a mostly-bad hollow asshole, and people point out "wow this person is bad", you can dismiss the substance of the complaints and just use it as reinforcing evidence that you're being victimised. What happened to the days when these party leaders were decrying relativism?

Abusing such laws so that even those who try to comply with them, while also driving safely and considerately, are still victimised is a big step too far in my book. And of course the systems we're talking about might not only be used to enforce technical laws to the letter, but could also be used to provide wriggle room for insurance companies after an incident.

I don't doubt a persons integrity in any fashion, what I do find alarming is that those victimised start accepting a label as a fact and thereby continuing this negative themselves. Hence if a label no longer has the emotional attachment nor the emotional impact that is intended by those with ill will how can this not be a good thing ?

I find it amusing that the likes of Anonymous are going on about protecting people from abuse and whatnot when they've done some pretty questionable things themselves, especially some of their 4Chan members who have victimised completely innocent people all because they either got annoyed by someone or just didn't like them. I'm not sure if it was Anonymous that was involved in the whole 2009 Boxxy scandal, but it wouldn't surprise me.

The collection of Gitmo detainees, drone victims, the tortured, the extraordinary rendered, bombed, shot and otherwise victimised non-US citizens that happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time when Uncle Sam came knocking over their countries probably aren't smiling with me.

, And also that they are being victimised by the people who are saying it is. Which is why public debates aren't about facts or evidence. They're about "Who is the victim - and is it going to be you?" Once that frame has been established it's very difficult to break out of it, because the debate is neither adult nor rational. And this is the frame in which public debate has operated in the US since at least the 50s, and probably longer. Which is not to deny that some people are victimised by others, but to point out that it's very easy for those who are perpetrators to claim victimhood too - and to do it convincingly, even when it's nonsense, by using FUD, lies, and other rhetorical tricks in bad faith.
