        Thiel is still an old, creepy gay man. (I’m gay too, so I’m emphasizing the ‘creepy’ here.) It makes complete sense that he’d pick a young, attractive guy.

          Apparently funded by Thiel.

          It comes as no surprise to me at least. In recent years we’ve been hearing how these manosphere and right wing guys are funded by right wing oligarchs. I mean the basic production values are top notch. It can’t be explained simply by the widespread availability of professional film making equipment. Which is the explanation I hear often. You can pick a random content creator with no audience who has somehow procured expensive equipment yet they won’t be able to reach the same level of quailty because they don’t know what they’re doing. Plus they don’t have the money to buy production staff to run everything for them. That in itself gives a false sense of capability behind the characters.

            These guys need to be treated like terrorists. They’re training young boys and men to abuse and assault women. When conservatives cry about public schools teaching kids “liberal” values like sharing, it’s because they’re projecting. They’re the ones brainwashing boys to become violent misogynistic pricks.

          modern psychology doesn’t identify attraction to children as related to normal human sexuality like other sexual attractions, it’s outside that aspect of human behavior, and also not all child sexual abuse is related to attraction often it’s a rapist picking a ideal target.

            “Although some people who commit child sexual abuse are pedophiles, child sexual abuse offenders are not pedophiles unless they have a primary or exclusive sexual interest in prepubescent children, and many pedophiles do not molest children.”

            That’s exactly what I am saying, calling every sexual abuse of children pedophilia makes it seem as if it was related to attraction, when most of the time it’s not.

          Criminality is an irrelevancy IMO, that just means that for good or bad reasons you’ve broken the law and been found guilty. If I degloved a member of the KKK before shooting them that’s illegal but not immoral IMO, if I was found guilty I would be a criminal but not necessarily immoral.

            No I’m not here to argue morality over others or play comparisons with you.

            Simply remove them from harming anyone else. You don’t have any jurisdiction for anything further but to keep yourself safe.

            When they are behind bars: you’re safe. Nothing further should be required for you. It’s a safety concern and nothing further as far as you are concerned.

            You only have to keep your own judgements for your own morals. Not theirs. Engaging or celebrating in torture is not looking after your own morals regardless of how you justify it.

            Your stuff <==//==> their stuff.

            It’s not a comparison. It never was.

    “The charges listed against Clavicular, 20, whose real name is Braden Peters, are one count of rape, one count of drugging someone for sexual intercourse, and one count of procuring liquor for someone under 21 years old, according to the records.”

    Looks like all charges are related to the same event.

      Article about a young woman getting raped, Lemmyites respond by making it about the thing they care about more. Yeah, we all know that the manosphere is closely related to the fascist cultural moment we’re in, but you know that isn’t what you were referring to.

      Have some respect for fuck’s sake.

      Edit: and of course, as is usual on Lemmy, you guys get pissed if you aren’t pat on the back for having the bare minimum sense of morality (allegedly) and being told that it isn’t enough. You aren’t special for thinking rapists and pedos are bad, and you’re bad for thinking you’re enough with that alone. You guys know that you can see profiles of people who downvote, right? I can see that it’s a bunch of middle-aged men pissed at this.

        What is offensive about this, in your opinion?

        It doesn’t trivialize, or even speak on, who this guy raped. If you believe all conversation should be about the victim, that is one thing. Although some victims might not want their trauma the center of conversation.

        What you say isn’t what they are referring to is the only relation I’m seeing. What else would they be talking about?

            Rape culture is a setting, as described by some sociological theories, in which rape is pervasive and normalized due to that setting’s attitudes about gender and sexuality. Behaviors commonly associated with rape culture include victim blaming, slut-shaming, sexual objectification, trivialization of rape, denial of widespread rape, refusal to acknowledge the harm caused by sexual violence, or some combination of these.

            I don’t see how their comment would be described as any of these. Perhaps one could read the joke as listing “rape” as a some simple, necessary credential for politics and, in doing so, trivializing rape.

            However, the subject of the joke isn’t the rape nor the victim, but the rapist Clavicular and the administration, referencing how many of the current administration have sexual assault accusations against them. The joke doesn’t downsize what he did or apologize for it.

            I am genuinely not seeing how that bolsters or perpetuates rape culture.

            Edit: and you just tried to insult me instead of answering my question about what you meant by this

                  I would bet they simply misinterpreted things and thought this was a “ha ha rapist will be raped” thing. But that’s what happens when you go through life with conclusions and work backwards…you get it wrong a lot.

        Oh no guys, we better think twice before downvoting this borderline nonsensical comment.

        Calling the Trump administration the rape administration is not a joke about rape, it’s literal reality.

        Edit:

        Wait, they didn’t call it the rape administration, they said “pedo.” Also true. All the comment you replied to did was point out the reality that the current US administration is full of literal rapists.

        That’s not a rape joke. There’s no joke at the expense of any victim here. You’re losing your mind, bud. Take a breath.

            Don’t know, you sound more like a mix of a ten and a seven to me…

            (Also, 3 isn’t buffoonish, he’s just a bad father, victim of a poor education, unwilling to admit to himself that he regrets the way he treated his son; tragic, angry, sad, but definitely not buffoonish.

            And anyone who calls the flip-flopping milquetoast #12 “unbothered and collected” has clearly not seen the film.

            8, 1, 9, or even 4 would be much better options for the second picture, and, again, maybe 10 or 7 for the first one.

            At least watch the film before you go making ill-informed memes about it; it’s a timeless classic for a reason.)

              Reminder to all that all walks of mental illness are all over social media, and if someone is obviously crashing out it’s best not to engage. For everyone involved.

              Seriously though, a cherry on top that one of you did some faux film analysis out of anger of my meme making fun of the (100% actually is) buffonish juror 3 rather than any of you taking thirty seconds to read about what rape culture is (despite oh so many of you apparently thinking rape is bad [a lie, like the deceitful juror 15])

                Pretty funny coming from the guy who refused to answer when asked what, specifically, was offensive about this:

                Sounds like he wants to get a cabinet position with the Pedo Party. I mean, rape is on 99% of their resumes.

                How does this promote rape culture? Why did you resort to strange ad hominem rather than just answering the person’s simple question. You’re so mad, it should be very easy to explain why.

                And yet…

                Like there are actual bad taste rape jokes in here. This wasn’t one of them.
