Now that’s good comedy.
I’m sick and tired of explaining this. Sick. And. Fucking. Tired. Let’s try one more time, and see if the jackasses here on display finally get it.
Not quite. I quoted her mother as saying something, which turned out to be not true . Or I misunderstood her - given what happened that day, that’s entirely possible! If you look back on that thread, it’s pretty obvious that I was confused and unclear on the situation. When the dust settled and the facts were all there, they turned out to be:
She was 16 at the time
She was not mentally handicapped but rather suffering from a disorder - GID, to be precise.
It’s really that simple.
Speaking of it’s really that simple: look up age of consent laws in Maine, fuckface. Even if you were right (which, I repeat quite emphatically, you are not ) that I was 18 and she was 14, it still would be legal . It would be kind of weird, but let’s get real here - either I’m a pedophile because I broke child statutes, in which case I did not either way; or I’m a pedophile because having sex with someone 4 years younger than you at that age is bizarre, in which case if you look at the thread it’s very clear that I thought she was 16 up until that point . Because, and this might come as a shocker to you, if I knew she was 14 I would not have done it , for hopefully obvious reasons. Similarly, if I had thought at the time she was mentally handicapped, I would not have done it .
Give it a fucking rest already. Even if everything you said was true, the worst you could say about it is that I was misinformed (by her) and made a mistake that was just on the right side of the local age of consent laws. But it’s not true.
No, my position is consistent. His joke was in poor taste and context; my joke was as well. They were both very stupid.
You raped a retarded child?

Nope. Age of consent is a legal construct that has nothing at all to do with sexual maturity, and being attracted to someone who is sexually mature but underage does not inherently constitute pedophilia or ephebophilia.
GID .
It’s entirely reasonable to refer to someone as one gender at one point, and as another at a later point. Richard Raskind was a damned fine athlete; he had a killer serve. Renee Richards still had a pretty good serve; she beat Mandlikova and Shriver. Same person, different times, different pronouns. Transitioning is tricky on language.

Relax, he’s not muscling in on your turf.
Don’t worry, you’re not at risk.

Oh for fuck’s sake, why is anyone even giving this idiot any more attention?

Given how this thread has progressed, you’re gonna need to be more specific.
Budget_Player_Cadet:
Hey, if that’s the full extent of the claim, I agree - I should have used better judgment (and, to hear it from some others on the board, probably still should).
<snip>
This is all just stupid, mob-mentality smearing. There’s nothing to it; none of you people who keep ragging on about it have the slightest clue what’s going on.
What’s going on is that by your own admission you have an ongoing predilection for pursuing inappropriate relationships with troubled girls younger than yourself . The legality of your relative ages aside, do you not see that that brands you as predatory and manipulative?
There is a recent thread in GQ about whether allied pilots should have disobeyed orders to bomb civillain targets in Germany during the bombing offensive in WW2.
BCP is a good argument that the campaign should have been given more resources.

Knowing that I’m in your fantasies has got me all horny.

I’m sure everyone’s read my Drunky /Lobo fanfic by now, yes? I re-imagine them as bishounen brothers. It’s hawt.

Yeah, not so much. Don’t call other posters cunts, or say “fuck you” to them in the Pit.
No warning issued.

But he did make it clear that it was just an edgy joke.
Yeah, see that’s going to get you no where. You can be edgy, but there is pretty low tolerance here for FUs and cunty language.

This is a bit close to breaking the “no wishing harm on other posters” rule. Let’s watch it with stuff like this, okay?
Still not issuing any warnings.
Noted. Won’t happen again.
The mod note has been upgraded to a warning and Budget Player Cadet has been put on notice that he is out of rope.
To bring this matter to a close, Budget Player Cadet is being formally warned.
Ellen Cherry meant to go back and assign it but she has been out of town and not able to get back to the board, so I will do it.
Budget Player Cadet, I must tell you that anything, anything at all, no matter how small it might be, anything that is is any way untoward will be the last thing you will ever do here.
Not strictly, no - it’s not a fetish at thet point. If the 18yo turns 28 and still only wants 16yos then yes.
IvoryTowerDenizen:
This is what BPC is attempting to explain with the /EdgierThanBismuth. /EdgierThanBismuth is a form of meta-textuality, a comment on the “jokiness” of the previous joke. In what has become a hallmark of modern humor, it’s the reflexivity of the statement that is the source of the humor. Part of the reason reflexivity has become so widespread is because it automatically provides a context for humor because it intrinsically contains two levels of narrative, the subject and the comment on the subject.
Indeed, if it were someone else who made the reply “Jews” and BPC replied with /EdgierThanBismuth, it would at least be mildly amusing because there is a subversion present between the two narratives. The previous replier would have thought their joke was funny, otherwise they would not have made it and BPC would have caused an subversion by cutting down their expectations. However, because both statements were made by BPC, no subversion can happen because we know BPC cannot simultaneously think he is both funny and unfunny.
As a result, no subversion, no humor. But I hope this proves to you that while, this was an unfunny joke, it’s not an anti-semitic one because the joke is not about Jews, it’s about meta-textuality. You could replace Jews with any other placeholder offensive term and the basic structure of the joke still stands.
The real joke is that Bismuth is only ranks 2-2.5 on the Mohs Hardness Scale. So clearly, either he has no clue what he’s talking about, or he’s declaring that his joke isn’t very edgy at all – and even then he’s clueless, because his joke was only about as edgy as chalk.
Fag. /edgier than Chromium, baby!
See, this is a fair complaint, given what I’ve posted. I understand where this comes from. In my defense, in neither case did I notice they were “troubled” before I was emotionally invested in the relationship, and both started when I was 18 - in high school or fresh out of high school. At that point, my circle of friends was largely my friends from high school. I do have problems with sensible relationships - I get too invested too fast, I miss red flags… But I’m not trying to be manipulative, and I’m certainly not trying to be predatory.
