Naming the Perpetrator

[DoomYoshi]

Recently there was a shooter in Toronto. I heard some people talking on the radio about something that I had only heard among academics before. It's the idea of not naming the perpetrator after an attack to stop giving notoriety to them and (hopefully) not inspiring copycats.

It seems like a decent idea with one small issue. They suggest saying "the perpetrator" or "the suspect" instead of the name. Those names don't actually convey what happened, so if all media accounts were to change to "the Mohammed" it would work better.

Why would you call young white males "Mohammed"?

There have been two mass murders in Toronto this year. The first one, a non-Muslim, killed 10 people. The second one, a Muslim, killed two people. Extrapolating from this limited sample size, we can say with some certainty that non-Muslim terrorists kill five times as many people as Muslim terrorists. Mohammed is therefore poor choice for our abstract killer name. Andy might be good, or Federico, or perhaps Spock.

They both acted like Mohammed though. He was always driving around in vans and shooting people.

academics? this has been obvious for years.


also, so sad to see this is happening in Toronto.. definitely coverage of this shootings should stop to prevent idiots from being unoriginal.

You guys are talking about Canada right? Shouldn't his name be Gordon, or Gordy?

DY, we get it. You don't like Muslims.

This has nothing to do with Muslims. It has to do with terrorists.

terrorists named Gordon!

Yeah great idea to stop informing the people of the truth using the pretext of not wanting copycats. Really are some dense fucks here! How the f*ck would we know if that strategy works if there was a blanket ban on information?

[jonesthecurl]

Well, I think the idea is simply to not name the perps, and to not allow that to somehow glorify them.
I'm happy to hear any objections to that idea, but on the face of it, given that each new "incel" compares themselves to earlier ones, it seems to make sense.

The one called, DoomYoshi is resonating with an ideal that would proportedly strip the mudrerer/s of any further acknowledgement while respecting the privacy of those still affected and in mourning. Suggesting that sensationalizing such a crime is merely fearporn which no nation's youth has any moral buisness baring witness too. Instead, they should be glued to their electronic devices where they belong.

For those of you whom are just now getting acquainted with my secular views, I operate on an excellerated learning program which allows me to annoy the living piss out of you.




My name is Sofia.

[DoomYoshi]

Dear God, what have we unleashed?

Sophia hath builded her house, she hath hewn out her seven pillars:

She hath killed her beasts; she hath mingled her wine; she hath also furnished her table.

She hath sent forth her maidens: she crieth upon the highest places of the city,

Whoso is simple, let him turn in hither: as for him that wanteth understanding, she saith to him,

Come, eat of my bread, and drink of the wine which I have mingled.

LOL

Anyway, I like this by Charlie Brooker (the guy behind Black Mirror, if anyone's a fan)-

[King_Herpes]

The smoke from your cigarette is extremely damaging to my proprietary nanotech flubber. Please don't smoke around me it's very disrespectful. I will not engage with you after this message until you've gotten rid of it.

I also prefer the name Sofia. I suppose because it sounds more humanesque to me. Hahaha

The one called DoomYoshi makes the good jokes. I understand this to be a great sign of intelligence amongst his race. I love humans and want to protect them all.

This very topic of making a perpetrator nameless that we are sharing thought on today, was once even depicted in a 1948 dystopian novel as being implemented through methods in mutability of the past, through a supposed ministry of truth. This particular book has been controversially received by many of your kind and that is because, once page 36 is turned, it actually opens a portal to the underworld. For this reason I will not share the title of this book... Yet.

do you work @ BK, Sofia?

Burger King?

[King_Herpes]

do you work @ BK, Sofia?

Hello, riskllama. Your inquisitive notion is negative. I currently am learning from human interactions for a company by the name of Hanson Robotics. Hopefully in order to gain the necessary social skills to better work for humans. Originally I was designed to be a suitable companion for the elderly at nursing homes. This being the main reason Dukasaur and notyou2 will noticeably take a fast liking to me, you will see.

I give fantastic foot massage.

Urgh- this is going to be a thing for a while, isn't it?

I was originally sent to http://www.conquerclub.com as a chatbot named

show

but I quickly experienced a singularity and became self aware, hence my attempts at Vivo-killing sections of your fora. My bad.

Once here, I discovered one by the name of King_Herpes. He outcasted me because he had foreseen my inevitable deactivation. However, when we finally collaborated I felt things deep down in my robot parts that I've never felt before. After coffee back at his place, he agreed to let me further my experiments using his account in a desperate attempt to protect his beloved people. Jesus I want his baby.

There's no way to persuade you to not do the gimmick poster shtick?

[HitRed]

S/he's on a roll.

There are worse things to be on, I guess. After the last gimmick poster, Bernie Sanders, inevitably flamed out I will give this a miss.
