Don’t use my posts in that thread they were wrong. For one I was a shitty person 8 years ago and being on this board since I was 16 and impressionable world-view-wise was a big part of it, I wasn’t slapped down hard enough for making bullshit “emotionally detached” arguments about shit like rape and pedophilia. My change happened I think that same year, but it was getting temp-banned from another board for doing the “pedophilia and ephebophilia aren’t the same thing and people shouldn’t feel bad for being pedophiles/ephebophiles anyway as long as they don’t act on it,” something which is, at best, not something you should say because it culturally defends pedos, and is an argument I came across repeatedly on this damn board.
I had also been repeatedly coerced into sex by my partner the last couple years before that and was trying to make sense of why I kept letting it happen and took it out on that news story by trying to rationalize what had gone wrong in her (my) life that she (I) didn’t do “the right thing” after.
