I suppose that makes sense. At this point, I’m seeing such a bizarre team effort to take Skald down that I’m wondering how accurately the off-board behavior is being described. If it’s being described accurately and completely, yeah, that’s shitty behavior.
Sure, you got a literary reference in there, but this post is really just saying, “I know you are, but what am I?” So give yourself another pat on the back. You deserve it.
I’m not gonna trot after these goalposts any more, but this is clearly wrong. Granted that rape definitionally involves a lack of agency, overwhelmingly his stories involve women exercising their agency, and often the entire point is to evaluate how a particular woman has exercised her agency: do you support her after she hides her husband’s crimes? Do you keep her at the job after she’s said racist things? Do you drive her to the job she’s chosen, although it’s degrading? Should she support a lawsuit against her boss?
Sorry to break this to you motor mouth, but all threads are not about you. Yet you try to work your personal BS into most of them. Cinderella you are not. Forgive us if we don’t stand at attention and salute.
Why is it not okay to post when someone’s behavior pisses me off, as is the case with both those posters? When I pitted Shagnasty, that thread ran to something like 30 pages, so of course I have a lot of posts in it. And I was by far not the most active participant. That would be Shags himself.
Are you suggesting I don’t 100% believe what I’ve said here? As a woman, and a human being, I find Skald’s rape fixation gross and unsettling. But go ahead and handwave it all away if that floats your boat.
Dude, you were an asshole for a long time, then you seemed to get better, now you’re just trolling this thread to attack people.
Take some meds, dial it back.
Yeah, ok, you’ve made your opinion known. You acknowledged that other people don’t believe the same thing. Now you’re just insistently making it about you and your opinion, as if that should be the important thing.
Yes, you are very proud of your Shagnasty thread but it’s clear you have a bit of a problem. You only post here once you’ve been encouraged on the Giraffe board that you’ve acquired a suitable target. That includes the “injured by texting” thread that MfM doesn’t realize is part of the same pattern.
Stalking people and keeping lists of offending posts is 100% creepy. But the cat’s out of the bag now, innit? Sexual misconduct certainly appears to be a recurring theme, and that’s going to skeev some people out. It’s hard to put that sort of thing back in the box.
Conspiracy theories about him not really having impaired vision or stock puppeting fake wives, yeah, that has me raising an eyebrow. But does he inject topics like rape or molestation more often into his hypotheticals than would be expected? Sure seems that way. (I love hypotheticals, just ask my family. But I don’t think I’ve ever asked any about rape.)
Honestly, though, my real beef with his hypotheticals is that they’re far too detailed to be useful at drawing forth insights or intuition about our beliefs. It’s cool to rag on the trolley problem, but its appeal lies to a great degree in its brevity: details left out are details that can’t be used in a game of “fight the hypothetical”.
It’s totally ok. But it appears that 90% or more of your posts here are simply attacks on other posters. That’s a problem, unless the posts are constructive.
Right? Right?
Expecto: have you ever posted on this message board with another username?
I am not assuming that at all. I’ve seen expecto hopping around like the bulldog’s little buddy asking “should I make a Pit thread??”. I’ve seen her soak in the accolades when the Shag thread “worked”. It’s on a level of pathetic similar to a certain “me too!” enthusiast.
It is true that I’m usually only driven to post over here when something pisses me off, or sometimes when I’m just plain puzzled (the Annie-Xmas texting thread comes to mind). I’ll cop to that. But I’m not going through the snark thread hunting for targets to snark on over here for sport, or for attention, or whatever. If I put this much time and energy into dissecting someone’s posts, it’s because they’ve gotten under my skin somehow and this is my way of working it out. Blatant misogyny and description of sexual assault or abuse porn make women uneasy, who knew? And I still find it very distasteful that posters rush to defend Skald and brush it off when women come forward and say he made them uncomfortable, and I’m not going to apologize for that.
I was asked a question and I answered it. Of course it’s not about me. It’s not about you either, but you seem awfully mouthy on the subject. On 2 boards, no less. I can’t keep up with that
Quit playing. You weren’t “plain puzzled” by the Annie-Xmas thread. You thought she was full of shit. So after enough encouragement, you decided to start poking her.
