Jessica is making team slayers and BOXER look extremely bad for being who she is. She keeps doing stuff like this and bringing on negative attention. The thing is she is known for being such a huge drama queen and she keeps on doing it. Queen on a high horse.

Suck. Jessica couldn't do stuff like this in the U.S. But since it's Korea, anything can happen T.T
Ya I agree... that really sucks. So ridiculous that they can't repeatedly harass someone every day without repercussions.
Wait what? Care to explain?

There should be a Douchebag punishment law where you can sentence someone for being a dick and fine them + community service.

That is called general politeness. Want to know a secret? Girls who aren't douches pay for dinner too.

And you are making us look bad by supporting and tolerating that it is ok to act like a total dick on the internet and act like they have no class.

Well the thread and indeed previous posts I myself have made have followed that argument, I was just taking exception to the idea that her gender had nothing to do with the abuse the guy was sending. I feel it's a perfectly valid avenue to discuss, perhaps not in this thread though

Every woman I know simply wants to be treated like a human. I hold doors for them and I hold it for friends. Just as they hold it for me when they are ahead. Get over your bitterness dude.

Isn't it great that the only one talking about paying for dinners and opening doors is you? 
Really though, a guy comes up and says we shouldn't call women cunts. Typical response of "it's sexism to open doors too!"
Why yes it would be. It's a good thing supposed "white knights" never really argue that men should open doors for women... They really only ask that men don't treat them bad--not necessarily treat them like paragons. Hmm... I wonder why a man would think that not calling a woman a cunt is equal to treating her like royalty...

Sure if it was talked about less, we would hear about it less, but then the people who were already discriminating would be unopposed, and feel more comfortable to continue discriminating freely.
what exactly do you mean when your talking discrimination? is there some company that refuses to hire women? is there a sport where women are banned? is there any activity at all that blatantly refuses the aprticipation of women?

It wasn't in her stream. Its like your insulting someone by you and the only thing they can do is call the cops and you can just stop, you can't be punished. Also they can be "forcibly removed" by ban.
lets say you're a manger/owner of this park, people keeps coming by the park and insults people on daily bases so you kick them out yourself. however they just keep coming back, you just let it go? do nothing about it? its just the way it is? meanwhile theres a law that doesn't allow such thing and you can report it to authority to make it stop.

Modern society should have some kind of classes to prepare overly sensitive people for internet, and life in general.

It's the internet, why make such a big deal over something so fucking trivial. What's more shocking is people defending what she is doing. If you don't have thick skin then stay off the internet. Slayers isn't exactly getting a good reputation with all this shit Jessica has been starting.

How old are you dude? lol... You have to be trolling. No way you believe this crap. People WANT it to exist? The only people who do are those who are sexist... man... you are crazy. he isnt wrong. Holding doors for women, paying for dinner for women, thats sexism because you're treating them differently due to their sex bits. Prove this isnt so. How about it's just good manners to do so. Shows you have class, a minimum level of decency to treat women with respect. there it is. Not "treat humans', "treat women".
You maybe too young to understand this, but something like such basic manners are expected of men.

They really only ask that men don't treat them bad--not necessarily treat them like paragons. Hmm... I wonder why a man would think that not calling a woman a cunt is equal to treating her like royalty...
so are you saying its okay to call men cunts?
tahts the problem, why does Jessica have to be a women in this scenario? why is it about what we shouldnt be calling women? why couldnt it have been "we shouldnt call anyone cunt"?
becuase people arent interested in defending MEN there interested in defending WOMEN becuase women have painted themselves as these fragile little dainties that need to be protected, then they realised that men were taking it seriosuly, so they started wining that they were being protected like fragile little dainties, that they wanted to be treated equally, but tehy didnt want that, they wanted to be treated exactly like men except also as fragile little dainties

because I wasn't equating the two. Becauyse I was responding to someone calling someone else crazy for believing people want to be sexist in many ways. E.g. preferential treatment for women by buying them dinner. It had nothing to do with saying calling jessica a cunt is an okay thing. Noone here is saying that. To read that far into it or strawman that heavily indicates you're the loser in this discussion.

I can't tell if you are being serious. You are implying that no one discriminates based on gender. You can't possibly believe that... no one can be that ignorant, so can I assume you are a troll? If you aren't implying that no one discriminates then why would it just go away? Sure if it was talked about less, we would hear about it less, but then the people who were already discriminating would be unopposed, and feel more comfortable to continue discriminating freely. what exactly do you mean when your talking discrimination? is there some company that refuses to hire women? is there a sport where women are banned? is there any activity at all that blatantly refuses the aprticipation of women?
Women in Europe (which is generally regarded as better for gender equality) often receive lower pay for identical jobs to male counterparts. They are disproportionality underrepresented in politics, boardrooms of large firms (like the FTSE-100 in the UK) and elsewhere. There are serious issues with how the media presents women who are public figures as well, which naturally inhibits participation in the public sphere. Competent but unattractive female politicians are frequently slaughtered on the basis of their appearance for example in a much more vicious way than their male counterparts (as a generality).
You refer to enshrined legal equalities as evidence that equality exists. It doesn't, even though things aren't horrendously bleak for womenfolk compared to previous generations, it's still got a bit to go.

It's the internet, why make such a big deal over something so fucking trivial. What's more shocking is people defending what she is doing. If you don't have thick skin then stay off the internet. Slayers isn't exactly getting a good reputation with all this shit Jessica has been starting.
Because even if suing is not the right course of action just criticizing her actions without saying Cyber Defamation is bad and i don't agree with it will make me look like a classless human being, and as a forum user my image reflects the image of the TL community. So I should try to act with as much class as possible.
