>A Fox News contributor found herself on the receiving end of death threats earlier this week—from Star Wars fans—when she appeared on an early-morning talk show on the network and began talking about some of the trolls that had come out of the woodwork to make fun of her for not having seen the films.
>In a segment that aired last month, Katherine Timpf mentioned that she had no interest in watching Star Wars: “Yesterday, I tweeted something, and all I said was that I wasn’t familiar with Star Wars because I’ve been too busy liking cool things and being attractive. People threatened my life.”
>The Internet’s response? Well, one doesn’t have to look very far to find both death threats and YouTube videos lashing out against Timpf, but the ironic part is that the show she was on is self-labeled as a satirical news program—so one would think that it would have been easy to discern that her remarks may have not been entirely serious, and to not take them personally at all?
What's with nerds and their complete inability to take a freaking joke?

>>63111951
>too busy being attractive
She's not that hot desu. With that being said I think it's kinda pathetic the way so many man children get worked up over star wars. Only 2 out of the 6 movies are actually good, it's schlock aimed at children.

Oh right, she's the cunt on the Social Thought Committee (not even joking) that tried to get my professor fired.
She also said, "I have never had any interest in watching space nerds poke each other with their little space nerd sticks, and I’m not going to start now."
Not that any of that justifies threats, of course, but it did kind of seem like she was being inflammatory for the sake of being inflammatory.
The trouble is... Star Wars is just kind of boring
A hot girl like her probably DIDN'T bother with nerd shit like Star Wars because its demographic is geeks and fags. Just common sense really
yeah, you can label something as satire as much as you want, but if it sounds exactly like something that people actually seriously say... it's not satire, it's just saying horrible stuff and thinking it's funny.
>>63111951
>What's with nerds and their complete inability to take a freaking joke?

>>63112132

Ahahhhahahhahahah
That's actually pretty funny
>>63112132
She is right though. If she says she doesn't like Star Wars because it's nerd shit she shouldn't receive death threats. I mean it makes Star Wars fans look worse than they already do.
Why are the women at Fox News such cunts?

>>63111951
How come what she says isn't considered "harassment"?
>>63111951
Fuck off Disney marketing team.
You know, Timpf did gave me an idea! I don't know if you heard about this, but she said the reason she won't apologize for her anti-geek remarks is because ''people are becoming way too PC, apologizing for every little thing that may offend people, etc. etc.'' Not her exact words, but you get the idea! :p
Sounds familiar? I don't know about you guys, but I've heard that line quite often in the feminism debate on geek culture. Heck, the people that sent her death threats are probably the same people who get all threatening and harrassing against feminists, the same kind of people that likes to say that ''the world is becoming way too PC''.
And now you have Timpf using the very same argument against the kind of people who, too, use that same argument! So why not do it ourself? ''I won't apologize to those guys who are offended that I pointed out this video game/T.V. show/movie/etc. is kinda sexist because people are way too PC, too scared to offend anyone''. You know, that same line can so be used both ways! :p
Katherine Timpf might have provided feminists a new kind of argument without realizing it: The ''too PC'' argument can now and forever go both way! :p
>>63112268
It's great because she's insulting herself as much has them and ends up coming off as better and more self aware if you actually watch it in context.
That being said, I don't blame all the geeks for getting riled up, and many of them are too used to begin insulted seriously and just probably saw the clip out of the blue.
isnt star wars its on religion? like literally you can pick jedi on the census
she deserves it for mocking someones religion, just like drawing muhammad

lmfao. she isn't wrong. if you're getting your man tits worked up over Star Wars with the release of the prequels and now a literal ape starring in the latest film, you probably aren't attractive, and you definitely aren't interested in cool things.

I love how /tv/ is split right down the middle on whose side to take.
Do you side with the harassed woman who also works for Fox News and is conservative as fuck?
Or the Star Wars nerds who are more relatable to you personally, but have also recently been associated with Black Boyeggs who you really fucking hate?
>>63111951

Kek, does she honestly believe this?
>>63112948

>>63112971
:^)
There's no split here matey. You can both hate her for being a vapid cunt that's mocks nerds and hate the people that go to the trouble of internet defending Star Warswhile calling her a cunt to her face and being a kek irl. This is the internet after all, where everyone has an opinion that HAS to be heard.
>death threats
>online
Either way, she made a joke, the nerds made a joke, and she's laughing off.
It's literally not a story, stop posting it
>>63112971
I side with the one who isn't a manchild sending death threats over kids movies about laser swords lel
She also said she refuses to apologize and be a part of the current shitty overapologetic politically correct culture. Based IMO.
>>63113104
I refuse to apologize for fucking your mum in the ass.
I'd say that makes me pretty based.

it's something commonly referred to as a joke. people who aren't autistic use them to entertain themselves.
>>63111951
>and to not take them personally at all?
>ending statements with a question?
>>63112118
Story?
Who the fuck send death threats to someone, regardless of the situation? Like you have to be literally autistic/retarded.
>>63113935
Death threats seem to be part of the job these days if you say anything negative about anything publicly.
>>63113935
People have odd idea of what death threat is. Like rememember the woman who sent herself threats? Don't remember who she was, but those didn't sound like threats, just sexual fantasies.
So, on the internet, you anger people they say something mean like "I hope you die", and people will pain it as threat for PR.
>>63111951
>I’ve been too busy being attractive.
i've yet to meet the tranny that'll publicly admit to looking unattractive
>>63112022
She's either in her early 30s or approaching them fast. This is when a single woman goes crazy if she's not in a relationship.
With men it has the opposite effect; a man can relax at home, play vidya, watch movies and hang out with his buddies.
Women are biologically designed to start to panic when their ovaries are shutting down for old age. Men can keep on producing genetic material until the day they die.
>>63112118
>Social Thought Committee
As much as a cliche as it is, that looks like something straight out of 1984.
An indoctrinated SJW would probably use the book as a manual than a cautionary tale these days.

You can just tell that the person who sent the threat browses 4chin

>>63111951
Pre-internet, it used to be said that if you are a reporter and not getting death threats on a regular basis that you were not dong your job.
Then the internet came along to unite autists and give them anonymity against reprisals and social behavior enforcement.
>>63112635
It's not satire, that guy is dead serious 100% of the time.
why do people acknowledge that anonymity enables people to say things they couldn't normally but don't then go on to acknowledge that the things people are saying anonymously are trivialised by said anonymity
>>63111951
You really can't tell when it is or isn't parody with Fox.
>>63111951
Don't even feel sorry for her. This is the age of the internet. Majority rules, I'm afraid, and on the internet, nerds hold the power, nerds hold the majority. That's democracy in action, play by our rules or don't play at all. She crossed our line and she's dealing with it.
>>63112510
You can pick whatever the fuck you want on the census. If I say my religion is potato, who are you to disagree?
Katherine Timpf is just jews trying to win smart men like us over with a qt blonde who has right wing views
>>63115650
holy fucking autism
>>63111951
Sounds like a self-obsessed cunt. It's not even about Star Wars as much as it is her self-congratulatory attitude to not having seen them, like she's somehow the first person ever to be uninterested in watching a movie. That and the implication that hearing this one insignificant millennial's opinion is supppsedly more important than one of the most influential movies in history.
The best part is how she instantly turns around and plays victim when people tell her that her opinions and experiences are worthless, and it makes actual news headlines. Liberal media, everyone.

Stop it.
Im sure the death threats were probably satire as well

>>63116477
The term "death threat" has completely lost its meaning due to the internet.
>all I said was that I wasn’t familiar with Star Wars because I’ve been too busy liking cool things and being attractive
But that isn't all she said.
She essentially called every Star Wars fan a pathetic nerd. I'm not saying it isn't true, but it wasn't said as a joke, she meant what she said. If you're going to fling shit around, don't cry like a bitch when someone decides to fling shit back.
>>63116655
didn't she just call them all faggots on national television instead of crying about it?
GUYS ITS JUST A PRANK
WE COOL
>>63116675
She has been playing the victim card ever since it happened.
>>63116726
Isn't she a victim of aspergers as fuck nerds though, thus making a completely valid case for using that card?
I've been looking and I can't find any of these death threats she's talking about.
>>63116765
She initiated it, she knew people would get angry and she still did it. She's either incredibly fucking retarded for not knowing this will happen or she did it on purpose for publicity.
>>63116853
Look at her Twitter you fucking sperg. She's having fun with it because you jerkoffs are sputtering with rage over her making a few quips about a children's movie that you've invested time, money and resources into instead of watching and moving on with your life like normal people do.
>>63116853
Doesn't change the fact that all the nerds getting buttmad are still in the wrong. It's like if I tweeted I hate niggers, and then a bunch of niggers started threatening me, I initiated it but if I get raped by a pack of wild niggers it's their fault for being autistic enough to get enraged a tweet.
>>63114657

>>63111951
>fauxnews
don't care
I'm a friendless nerd and I still hate Star Wars. Good for her for having taste and not pretending to like popular things. Star Wars geeks are unbearable.
So since she's now saying she was joking, she's essentially a shitty /tv/ troll
No wonder so many of you are defending her
Star wars is literally the most mainstream thing ever
>>63114657
Sisko looks extremely niggerish actually. He is like an American equivalent of Booyega.
The reason I dislike Boyega is because his accent is shit.
>>63118352
