I vote, present?"...you pointy-headed autopsy nerd. Do you think it's possible for you to post without using words like "hilarious," "absurd," "canard," and "truther"? Your bare assertions do not make it so. Maybe your reasoning is too stunted and your vocabulary is too limited to go without these epithets."

I hate cancel culture so much. Every time anybody (on either side) messes up the mob clamors for the person to be fired. So stupid.
This guy has suffered plenty. Clearly he did not intent to expose himself."There is no creature more arrogant than a self-righteous libertarian on the web, am I right? Those folks are just intolerable."

Dude was toobin his meat during a company call. You can't do that. Obviously he didn't intend to expose himself, but maybe don't jerkoff?Originally posted by Jeff Lebowski View PostI hate cancel culture so much.

This isn’t cancel culture give me a break. This isn’t some innocent mistake either, he literally masturbated on camera during a work zoom.Originally posted by Jeff Lebowski View PostI hate cancel culture so much.

Any janitor in America caught jerking off in a bathroom stall while on a work break would be fired.
And it’s not like this is his first sexual controversy. The dude cheated on his wife, had a kid, denied the kid was his and was forced to have a paternity test.

Really stupid mistake, but how was it not innocent? There was some bad intent here? Help us understand.Originally posted by fusnik View PostThis isn’t cancel culture give me a break. This isn’t some innocent mistake either, he literally masturbated on camera during a work zoom.
So the mob decides that he should be fired because ... priviledge! Tell us again how this isn't cancel culture. Give me a break.Originally posted by fusnik View PostAny janitor in America caught jerking off in a bathroom stall while on a work break would be fired.

Just because there wasn’t malicious intent doesn’t mean the mistake was innocent. It’s not like he was dropping his kids off at school in his robe and while shuffling his kids out of the van his penis made an appearance.Originally posted by Jeff Lebowski View PostReally stupid mistake, but how was it not innocent?

He should be fired because he masturbated, on a video, in front of coworkers and technically the world. How does anyone view any of his work over the next 1-2 years without referencing this incident. As an employer why put up with the liability?
His personal life is a piece to this because it may demonstrate the dude might not have much discipline with his penis. You want to get your political/law takes from a dude who doesn’t know how a condom works?
Really weird you think this is cancel culture.

Its not innocent because taking your penis out and masturbating in what amounts to "public" now is not innocent, even if you thought you weren't being observed. He didn't accidently leave his fly down or something.Originally posted by Jeff Lebowski View PostReally stupid mistake, but how was it not innocent? There was some bad intent here?

I had a hard time with this one. Ultimately I thought he should be fired, but I was close to saying give him another chance. I could still be persuaded of the latter. But I don't think this was exactly innocent. Some of the witnesses described him looking at what they thought was another screen. Probably had pornhub up on his other laptop.Ain't it like most people, I'm no different. We love to talk on things we don't know about.

Yeah, not sure how this is "cancel culture" (whatever that means). The guy was caught masturbating during work on a work video chat. Seems like it would be a fireable offense for anyone.
(BTW, can you imagine a more boring zoom call (pre-masturbation, obvs; I'll bet people perked up then!)? Sounds like they were war-gaming the election? With JT representing the "courts?" Woof.)

Sorry Dude, I'm aiding with fusnik on this one. Toobin could claim Costanza ignorance, but it should be well understood - especially by an attorney - that masturbating during a Zoom call is cause for termination. That should easily cover any "for cause" termination requirements at the New Yorker.Originally posted by fusnik View PostJust because there wasn’t malicious intent doesn’t mean the mistake was innocent.

CNN might have more trouble terminating him for cause since the Zoom call was not connected to CNN. There's probably some clause that covers them in this type of situation, though.

But he's not a janitor. In the corporate world, the length of your leash is proportional to your value to the company. It's naive to expect them to held to the same standard.Originally posted by fusnik View PostThis isn’t cancel culture give me a break.

This is an odd definition of "not innocent". Crazy me, I thought that issue had something to do with intent.Originally posted by falafel View PostIts not innocent because taking your penis out and masturbating in what amounts to "public" now is not innocent, even if you thought you weren't being observed.
