I think there may be some confusion here. Are you talking about willing participants to sex, or to the thread?
@MrDibble’s post was in reply to this one:
I don’t think @gnoitall was defending the folks who made their gross jokes, was instead commenting on the troll’s success. But I agree that the troll’s success in no way means that the folks making gross jokes are off the hook (not aiming for a fish pun, but I can’t think of another phrase that gets across the idea).
By emphasising the troll’s part, they minimized the blame of the other participants. That is a kind of defense.
Okay, thanks
That’s not a defense. That’s fighting ignorance, which probably explains why you didn’t recognize it.
Of course it’s a defense. You’re explaining away their own agency in posting their rape-minimizing bullshit. Completely a defense.
Keep digging.
Keep defending the indefensible
Keep being stupidly wrong.
I’m not sure what you’re not understanding. If you say people had no choice – they “must strike without being able to refuse their impulses” – that is excusing their behavior. I don’t think that’s what you were trying to say, but quit trying to argue you didn’t say it.
@gnoitall gnoitall called them “willing participants” in the rape jokes. That seems pretty fairly granting them agency for their actions.
The troll stirred it up. The others ran with it. No defense of either.
Any chance that a new version of that troll started a thread in MPSIMS about another unusual sexual assault case (woman receiving a sentence for pretending to be a guy and using a dildo to penetrate another woman under false pretenses - that’s all I recall as I didn’t look at the article)?
I took one look at that thread, from a brand new poster, and said, “yeah, right.” I can’t find it now - am guessing it was cornfielded. And my WAG is, same troll with a new name.
Yup, I saw the thread last night, reported it, and Aspenglow banned the trock (and cornfielded the thread) within minutes. We had a bunch of trocking going on last night.
That sounds like it could be the basis for an anthology.
Night of the living trocks!
Saturday Night’s Alright for Trocking
Usually the username gives it away.
How so?
The last one, asking about the woman mentioned above, I think the name had jok in it.
Not usually, but many do at least.
