What I don't get is why no-one is slamming Gjoni for being a classless dickhead in the first place - sure, there's descriptions of "jilted ex" and whatnot but where's the condemnation and outrage about his actions?

(I know, I know, he's a guy and it's A-OK. Bleh.)




Because it doesn't fit into anyone's narrative.

Pro-Zoey - You really don't wanna bring up any legitimate criticism of her when you could be playing up the victim narrative.

Anti-Zoey (AKA mysoginists) - The man is obviously a hero for giving that bitch what-for.

Pro-Journalistic-Integrity - Who the fuck is Zoey Quinn, and why can't people shut up about her?

So while he may be a classless dickhead, he's not high on anyone's agenda. Nobody in the trenches cares about Gavrilo Princip.
