BULL SH*T HAPPENED
According to this interview ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WWPxoj9CrsE ) between the magical Bone and H3H3Production's Ethan Klein, false reporting on behalf of the site known as "Gizmodo" has resulted in the tainting of his name with false allegations that he supports rapists and is some form of sexual deviant for looking at the leaked nudes of Jennifer Lawrence. Furthermore, this resulted in the initial charity sale of his famous red sweater being scrapped as he was seen as a distasteful individual. And the c**ts didn't even apologise or change their articles. I don't care if this goes to Imgur heaven, I just want to know I played a part in changing some false perceptions of this man.
Finally, if you would also tweet at Gizmodo, asking for a public apology. T'would be great.
Night folks :)
hitshappens
The new york post is not a legitimate news source. They're just as biased as Fox, if not worse.

I heard that he's got some radical views tho. He supposedly said some extreme things after the Trayvon shooting... I'm not a fan
ZedEhBee
The folks at gizmodo come from mos eisley spaceport. What do you expect from them?
samsonguy920
Doesn't surprise me. Gizmodo and all of its sister sites: i09, Jezebel, Kotaku, etc, need to shut down and go away.

You can take fake jounalists out of gawker but you can't take gawker out of fake journalists.

Hugh Mungus / Bone for president.
IamPyres
haha. papa bless
Treefur
I'd vote for a Hugh Mongus Bone for president. Who could be more qualified!?
terrafiore
They'd be better than the Gigantic Dick(s) that are running now. Hah!
Boopdog
Funny thing is everything he said was body positive and supportive.
fuck123456789
Where were y'all when the fappening happened, should the celebrities get apologies for their nudes being leaked?
TinyOctopus
Tiny Octopus was actually glad that the cesspool that was Gawker Media got killed. He's sorry for the people who lost their jobs, but ugh.
TinyOctopus
Nick Denton was a total asschamp. At least in Tiny Octopus' opinion.

Didn't Gizmodo get sued for showing Hulk Hogan's sex tape?

Gizmodo is the checkout lane tabloid of the internet.
JaimeFookinLannister
That's an insult to checkout lane tabloids.
thunder2132
I used to read them all the time because of the decent tech articles. That said, I removed them from Newsstand a couple of weeks ago because
thunder2132
They were getting really mean and super political. There's no need for that in a tech publication. Looks like I dropped them at a good time.
NeoHelios
Gizmodo type journalism is like attention-seeking in terrorist acts. The less we talk about them, the faster they will simply fade away.
pdxenburg
Some people swear those are sources though. Fox News is reporting on the Hillary lesbian handler from an Enquirer article
gorillaClutch
dude his comments are so G rated it makes him even more adorable, fuck people who want to make this dude a bad guy
Treefur
But....but he wanted to see nudes of an attractive actress! That's totes gross!
gorillaClutch
Maybe it makes me a dick to say but just because she says looking at the pictures is sexual assault doesn't make it that
bobtheaxolotl
It very clearly isn't sexual assault. Nor is it a crime. It's now public, like it or not. The people who did the hacking are the criminals.
badwolfandtheoncomingstorm
Someday, if I ever get famous, I'm relieved to know I can trust Imgur to defend me.
TheMightyKung
Watched this earlier. Ethan nearly swooned when Ken said he loved his channel.
Hiphopapotomus
He was so happy! I love when Ethan has man crushes.

malonb1
Ken Bone isn't such a great guy afterall.
poppedtheclutch
well, anyone who thinks gizmodo ISN'T garbage is probably just an uninformed or actively stupid individual
Angbadang
The problem was that they tainted his name first, and then their content was essentially 'reposted' by other media outlets.
sanguis4k
honestly anyone who thinks modern journalism isn't just a fucking joke after this election hasn't been paying attention.

So I never really cared about this guy at all, but I'll say this. We want our superheroes flawed because we can relate to them more 1/2

Apology for what? Pointing out that a guy the internet takes to adoring is in fact human?
ZaphodBeeblebrox451
For false reporting, you twat.
OneOof
The fact that one site claimed he was supporting rapist, and calling rape victims disgusting. (Spreading lies to gain Traffic to their site)
OneOof
He is not this godlike person (Watch H3H3's video). But going the exact opposite, and trying to twist words is not what should've been done.
spetcnaz
He or anyone ever has not claimed that he is Ra Son God. Yet false rumors were spread about him, because cunts are lazy to fact check.
grabus
Why are you getting down votes? This is important. This is why i use imgur because i believe we can make a difference
M1d1g4
Probably from the people that use imgur but don't like him because of the debate stuff. Atleast I wouldn't be surprised if it was.
IamMelonLordeYaYaYa
This news is literally fucking weeks old guys
Ghostwish
Everything gets downvotes. Asshats post something, and downvote everything else in a pitiful attempt to raise their own post.
CoolGuyCoolDude
That shit pisses me off so much. I think the pointless downvotes that I sometimes get is the worst part of Imgur. Fucking infuriating.
Angbadang
Beats me, apparently Imgur doesn't like Bone.
Angbadang
More likely, Imgur doesn't like me xD

Is that really why you use imgur, Grabus? Reaaaaalllly?
IPutAHexOnYou4c6f7665206d65
who is this dude and what happened? (not in the US if that helps...)
grabus
He is Ken Bone. He got a lot of attention after last presidential debate, because of his looks. He did an AMA and his fame went to shit.

Because I have a hard rooted policy of downvoting ANY and EVERY single article that uses a phrase like "I don't care if X" 1/2

It's super annoying and it hurts me to downvote otherwise good posts, but I refuse to compromise the policy. 2/2
CocaineAndSelfPleasure
The more I use imgur the more I'm convinced that I don't think I can make a difference here. Opinions are pretty set and everyone bandwagons
LordMitchimus
What pisses me off is the rapists thing. He said the exact opposite of support. The woman said she was told by her boufriend that she 1/2
LordMitchimus
Was filthy and worthless after her being raped by another man, BoneZone swings in and writes a paragraph telling her why she isn't filthy2/3
LordMitchimus
And tells her that he cares about her. And that nothing anyone can do to you will make you filthy. He's a damn hero.
Zenbo
Huge surprise that a deadspin/gawker related website spun a story to taint an individual's reputation that was ultimately disingenuous
PeopleSeemToHaveLongNamesOnImgur
Still waiting to that Dez Bryant video to come out from like 2014. Also Hulk Hogan has a 10 inch penis. Terry Bolea does not.
Villainary
I remember reading that one of the articles was written by a high schooler, so that pretty much sums it up.
eskimowins
Even if the allegations were true it's a joke. He might have made a couple of off-color jokes. Congrats on not being a boring asshole Ken.

Much less of a perv than most of us.
beartato
On reddit, someone summed it up very well. "So he likes porn and his stuff is tamer than ours. Whats the issue?"
TheEternali333
Exactly dude. If i got famous overight and people started looking into my amputee midget porn I'm sure I'd come off looking weird
sumowoman
A dude does nothing. People start obsessing about him. People start hating on him. Someone digs out shit about him>
sumowoman
>It's the kind of shit we all do. Alas! This person who did nothing and became a celeb against his own will is now tarnished. People...
GodEmperorOfImgur
Honestly, his most "pervy" thing is that he likes pregnant women dressed up sexily. And... so fucking what? That's hardly even a thing.
YourLocalPagan
Wait what
Angbadang
Exactly, he never asked to be characterised as a saint by the internet. He's just a normal dude trying to live his life of oxygen and porn.
Cowhoney
And not even that weird of porn, like Jesus said "he who hasn't seen at least one bukkake video, cast the fist stone"

Rabble rousing aside, he chose to use his previously anonymous reddit handle for an AMA. And people could then look through years of (1/2)

I saw nothing wrong with his ild reddit comments.
IamMelonLordeYaYaYa
Didn't he delete the worst ones once it came to light? He didn't say anything that bad, just some cringey stuff.
jonbristow
you cant be an internet celebrity, accepting endorsements and post stuff like "i like Jlaw buthole"

Yes you can.

Unless you're Trump
ARandomHelljumper
But you can be a presidential candidate.
Ad4pt
He didn't claim himself as an internet celebrity, he just did an AMA
jonbristow
he posted twitter ads, endorsed by Uber and other brands. He's getting paid to tweet now.
ToastedVanilla
Are you implying Reddit is by any means anonymous? The user handle is right fucking there. There is no anonymity in Reddit.
GeorgeHWBushsGhost
Don't know why there are so many downvotes. The only places that I know of that are the closest to anonymity are the Chans.
Applefaces
He wasn't on there as KenBone or Redsweaterfan. No one need ever have known that old account was his
stickitinuryolo
anonymous in the sense that nobody knows who you really are

I wonder how much info is out there on the username Zreen...

what was meant to be anonymous shit and connect it to him. If I suddenly got famous, I sure as shit wouldn't say I'm ErinFromTheOffice (2/2)
KeeleonOhms
If anything it just further proves how great of a guy he is. We need people like him, who stand behind what they say, in office.
J2xF
Most of us are cowards. He knew exactly what he was doing by NOT creating a throwaway account... shouldn't he be awarded a medal of bravery?

Holy internet points! You have alot!
GodEmperorOfImgur
Well, that's all the more awesome to him, he doesn't feel like he has anything to hide from the public, and he's not even running for office
captain420ofmarijuanatown
Yeah, I don't think the article was wrong at all, op didn't back up his assertion at all. What's so great about ken bone anyway?
WhyKid
Besides being a decent human being, mind you not great but decent, not much.
DontL0seYourWay
But as the video points out they vilified the guy like he was some kind of kiddy porn peddling rapist. When he's not that at all.
AlmightyHamSandwich
It wasn't wrong at all. This post is complete nonsense. And Ken Bone is a fucking doofus even aside from his Reddit history.
GodEmperorOfImgur
A doofus who didn't even want to be famous, then became famous, saw a chance to donate 10k to charity and then got called a rape 1/2
AlmightyHamSandwich
http://gizmodo.com/ken-bone-forgot-to-delete-his-porn-comments-1787780939 Did we read the same story?
GodEmperorOfImgur
apologist, kiddie porn loving monster by online media. Yeah sure, Ken is the "doofus" here. 2/2
SeeTheNumbersTasteTheViolence
Dude, they accused him of calling a rape victim "disgusting" - when actually it was very the fuckin opposite and was a beautiful piece
captain420ofmarijuanatown
Alright then. The sweater wasn't my favorite tho
Kamasu0Tra
Alright cocksucker, you backup your allegations then. Lay out your evidence that this is a man we should ridicule.
GodEmperorOfImgur
And so what? If you can take something and sell it for 10k to charity who fucking cares if it's a red sweater?
SeeTheNumbersTasteTheViolence
The sweater is part of the meme. He tried to sell it. Got offered $10,000 for charity, gizmodo artical made buyer backout. Pieces of shit
StonerCatJay
They reported that he called a rape victim disgusting when he actually called her rapist disgusting and was trying to lend his support.
captain420ofmarijuanatown
I read the article, but I can't really remember, I think some of this is gamergate hatred of gizmodo. Fuck it though idc
GodEmperorOfImgur
What the fuck does Gamergate have to do with this? Gamergate didn't make Gizmodo write a literal lie to slander a poor guy.
ZaphodBeeblebrox451
They removed it from the article.
Dmahney
Was going to comment on this - so some of those allegations aren't false.. OP is misinformed.. :/
GodEmperorOfImgur
Which allegations are true? The only one I can think of is Jennifer Lawrence butthole.
InternetGoodGuy
The only one I'm aware of being true is that he looked at Jennifer Lawrence naked pics. Is that really worth a negative article?
sumowoman
Hell, everyone looked at them. Even me. Probably shouldn't have, but I did. It's not like Ken is a meme of his own will, tho!
TheoreticalPhysEd
Looking at the pics that were released without her consent is still a sexual violation against her. YES it is worth being criticized for.
KeeleonOhms
Even Michelle Obama looked at them!
spetcnaz
Yes. Given how many useless busy bodies, with superiority complex there are, that would have been smarter. However, as he says in this video
spetcnaz
he did not think at the time that someone would go through so much trouble to find something some guy said on reddit two years ago.
spetcnaz
So let us, sort of not victim blame. Oh nooosss he saw a naked photo of a popular actress. Let us all judge this man for doing what we just
spetcnaz
did 20 seconds ago before we switched our browser tabs to make this self-righteous comment so we can feel better about ourselves.

All fairness though, 2 years of reddit history and the sketchiest thing he said was "I've seen Jennifer Lawrence's butthole"
woopwooppulloverdatasstoofat
and "beautiful human submarines" (personal fav)
TheNinjaPervert
Yeah the dude probably didn't think twice about using his reddit account because he doesn't have anything to hide.
MostOfImgurGenerallyPissesMeOff
AND he liked it
IamMelonLordeYaYaYa
That's not the only questionable thing he posted, though I agree it's all blown out of proportion
TalkRlyehianToMe
He also said a rape was disgusting, and Gizmodo (Maybe not gizmodo) said he was calling the rape victim disgusting.
TalkRlyehianToMe
(Which, by the way, is slander.)
BigBluFrog
Technically it's libel! Slander is spoken.
DomVanSuave
When in all actuality he was referring to the person committing the rape as disgusting. They just twisted it for a juicy article.
TalkRlyehianToMe
Exactly. Journalists nowadays are sociopaths.
spetcnaz
The guy is a regular decent guy. It is just that we live in a society full of outraged, self-righteous asshats
