Yeah well I thought I could post here to get advice without petty fucks using it against you. Guess I was wrong. Regardless, I’m no angel. Never claimed to be. People change for the better.
Someone reassure me that they are just trying to say that women are shallow and impressed by guys with good taste in liquor.
People who’ve changed for the “better” don’t go into a thread about someone with clear boundary issues trying to push a line that’s getting eerily close to sexual assault to respond with “Oh but if prostitution was legalised and women stopped getting upset at being called sluts and whores then rape will go down and it’ll all be good!”
Yuo = fucking retard.
I think you misspelled “asshole”, no? A neuro neutral, gender neutral term that is very appropriate. Thanks for playing.
Thing is, pan, there’s an interesting discussion to be had over the effects of legal prostitution on rape statistics, just like the discussion on the effects of legal porn on rape statistics.
But your bringing it up in that thread was wholly inappropriate and out of place.
If you want to have that discussion, do it elsewhere. Do it in a way that doesn’t threadshit on someone venting about an asshole. Your bringing it up was a non sequitur; your continuing to harp on it was an asshole move.

Nope! Pretty sure I got in one! But thanks for your smarminess anyway!
Well I was just making up a number anyway. I don’t personally feel that legalizing prostitution would ameliorate those issues really at all, since I don’t believe there are a ton of people who go into turning tricks who aren’t forced to do it either through sex trafficking, fear of violence, lack of additional monetary options, or drug addiction. I mean, sure, everybody wants to be that high class call girl who makes $250,000 a night and gets tipped in Ferraris, but there’s a limited market for that sort of thing, and I feel like it would get saturated pretty quickly. Not everyone is lining up at the prospect of giving away $20 bj’s in the alley and finally being able to file as a 1099. This sounds like an interesting GD thread, however.
I agree. I threadshitted and hijacked in IMHO. Dick move. I got caught up in the discussion because mostly everyone their had real good things to say.
I know! Because just going through life assuming that women aren’t people with fully functioning brains is just a* worldview that deserves respect*, y’all!
Correct me if I misunderstood, but there seem to be people in here who think rape is about sex. Huh. .some old legends do linger, don’t they?
pan, the men in the thread insisting that women don’t actually mean no when they say it and the PUA recommendations that men ply women with alcohol, relentlessly push for more physical contact, persist in using guilt to persuade women to dispense sex are the reasons that guys like MOL’s date ignore the word no. Your insistence that we take pity on the “sexually frustrated man” rather than the woman who he attempted to take advantage of is really shitty. No one is owed sex. Horniness isn’t a legit social, emotional, or physical illness. The fix doesn’t require government intervention or oversight; jerking off will end the “suffering”. We recently had a very ugly thread in which women who expressed wariness of strange men were shamed relentlessly for taking steps to ensure their safety. And in this thread, we’ve got men telling us we can’t extend courtesy to men because that indicates we want them to attempt to have sex with us, even when we say no. Men telling us we don’t really mean no. Men telling us that letting men into our homes obligates us to have sex with men we don’t want. The contradictions would be infuriating if they weren’t just incredibly disappointing. No means no, and we don’t need a magic bullet to figure that out.
I still don’t feel like you understand why you got dogpiled. The only person deserving of sympathy in that scenario was the woman who, after stating clearly that she was not interested in sex but wanted to be nice to her date, was cornered, pawed, and trapped with a persistent jerk who ignored her “no” and attempted to push her into sex. That douche does not deserve pity, sexual release, an outlet, or anything other than derision and a swift kick in the dick for being a pushy asshole. And you insisted that we provide him with an outlet for sexual release since MOL didn’t service him? Well, how about your mom? Can he come over and release his sexual frustration on your mom, or is she as unsympathetic as MOL?
God, Troppus, between this and “ThinksWithDick, AllYourNoesMeanYessss, and ButWhatAboutMyBallz” you are KILLING me tonight.
Er, not to Junior Mod or anything, but this is perfectly consistent with the rules and board tradition. It’s always been that as long as people express odious opinions without resorting to personal insults it was fine. As bad as some of the opinions were, nobody on their side (which, again, I completely disagree with) were using personal attacks. We’ve suffered plenty of racists here that we kept around as long as they didn’t attack anyone directly. It has nothing to do with whether their opinion deserves respect, but how it was expressed. (Though I’m a bit surprised I didn’t get a warning because I did get pretty snarky there for a bit).
Oh, I know. Which is why I have contempt for this board at times.
Because it’s okay to say black people are dumb and no means yes, but if you call someone stupid, you can get banned.
Sorry MOL, my wife says Treis is right. That is why she had to sleep with the plumber, the cable guy, all five guys who came to give an estimate on remodeling our kitchen (it was much less than I expected, but took way, way longer to finish), the furnace guy (they do free monthly inspections), and the pool boy (we are just in the planning stage, but I guess you have to get on the list early).
Apparently Idle Thoughts is over in the original thread warning Troppus for using fake usernames to make fun of people and using the word “douchebag” but not directed at a specific poster, which is also worse than saying you can ignore a woman’s verbal “no” because it doesn’t really mean no. This place sometimes. Fucking insane.
Shit, no matter what I say or how many warnings I accumulate, I’ll never achieve that special rapey infamy of having my name on the sex offender registry like some of the posters here. As long as I cling to that old “no means no” chestnut, I guess I’ll never get laid, either. I really should grow a pair if I want to run with these dogs.
After reading the thread linked to about his infatuation, I wouldn’t be that harsh. My understanding is that Panaccione :
1)Is Young
2)Lacks social skills
3)Is unsecure
4)As a result of 1,2 and 3 he never had a relationship
5)As a result of 1 and 4, he’s very horny
6)As a result of 4 and 5, he wishes he could at least see a prostitute, which he can’t
7)He’s clueless
- As a result of 5 and 6 he felt the urge to inject his frustrations into MOL’s thread
9)As a result of 2 and 7, he didn’t realize how irrelevant it was and how dickish his comments would appear.
However, I think he might not be a lost cause if he comes to realize that when every single poster tells him he’s wrong it probably means that he is, indeed, wrong (this applying to his own thread as well as his posts in MOL’s thread).
(Treis, on the other hand, deserves all the scorn he’s getting as far as I can tell)
