> Well, you can’t argue if someone found that hypothetical creepy or disturbing, but people are alleging a pattern, and I haven’t seen it. AFAICT, he likes posting weird hypotheticals with random strange details tacked on.

Why is a thread from 2011 about older posting history even worth digging up?

And that’s just a cursory skim over threads he’s started in the past two years in which he wants to discuss stories he’s concocted which feature rape
