Shagnasty is a misogynistic prick

[Lamia]

I’m going to quote one of my posts from the other thread rather than reword the same basic points:

@Lamia

…I do think the only lesson he has learned with regard to his tale of sexual assault is that people here don’t admire him for it the way he expected. After being told again and again for nearly a decade that what he did was wrong he’s able to parrot that back to us, but he’s also told us again and again in this thread that he doesn’t understand why people here are so outraged by a “prank”, that what he did was harmless, and that if there’s anyone we should be feeling sorry for it’s him.

I’m sure if well-intentioned Dopers keep trying to help Shagnasty become a better person then he’ll eventually learn to more convincingly mimic remorse and empathy, but I do not believe he actually possesses the capacity for either.

I’ll add here that, based on what Shagnasty has told us about himself in this thread – e.g. “I don’t even consider real sex to be the goal. I just make out with one and then move to another within days if they stop responding” and he’s “good at subtly manipulating people to do what I want” – I do not believe that the sexual assault “prank” was really his friend’s idea. I guess it’s within the realm of possibility that his friend had a full-blown cuckold fantasy and constructed an elaborate scheme to bring it to life, but that doesn’t seem very plausible. It seems vastly more likely to me that Shagnasty wanted to make out with another guy’s girlfriend, didn’t care about her consent, and managed to manipulate the friend into believing that switching places during a make-out session and never telling the girl would somehow be a hilarious joke.

I was interested to see upthread that **Morbo **found an old post where **Shagnasty **claims credit as the “brains” behind the sexual assault prank:

@Morbo

The new “maybe she was in on it” narrative is also curious, as elsewhere in that 2008 thread you said it was actually your idea

An alternate possibility, which I can mention now that we’re in the Pit, is that the entire sexual assault “prank” story is a lie. But if that’s the case, it’s pretty troubling that he both wants us to believe it is true and is determined to defend his (fictional) actions.

Shagnasty strikes me as a dishonest person in general, although as others have said he may be the type who embellishes actual events rather than making things up out of whole cloth. Either way, he’s a terrible person and, frankly, a bore. I think **mhendo **really nailed it:

But while it might be based in truth, every story he tells seems to be passed through a fun-house mirror designed to make Shagnasty appear as big and smart and accomplished and competent as possible.

**Shagnasty **is a one-trick pony on the subject of his own greatness. Whenever he shows up in a thread, regardless of the topic, he’s sure to start telling us about how special he is. Even if he were somehow cured of his misogyny, he’d still be a tedious braggart.
