Incel Redditor unapologetically admits to raping an unconscious woman

His argument, boiled down to its essentials:

“Any man would have done what I did, so it’s okay.”

Multiple points of failure here. First, clearly not any man would. Second, just because everyone else is doing something doesn’t make it okay.

Tangentially related story.

When I was much younger, like, 17 or so, long before I had any clarity in my life whatsoever, a girl about my own age and I were talking about sex. Like, not sexting or whatever, just chatting a bit about the mechanics of it cause I was completely clueless at the time.

She asked me what “Blue balls” were, so I told her…not the truth. I told her it was very painful for guys. Even in that moment, I knew I was lying. Even in that moment, I knew I was trying to manipulate her. She was kind, and very few other people in my life were. It crossed the wires in a brain which had been conditioned to expect hostility, and I made bad choices.

Let’s be clear. Even in my darkness, even cloaking myself in toxic bullshit, even unable to think or see straight from how much my conflicted emotions were fucking up my reasoning, I knew right from wrong. I chose wrong.

Fortunately for everyone near me, I never went further than painfully obvious, pathetic attempts at manipulation. I regret every second of those days, and I’ll never be able to make up for it.

The poster knows right from wrong. He knows that even if every person in the universe was a rapist, it’d still be wrong to commit rape. Never believe a terrible person who tells you he didn’t know better. He did, and chose to do evil.

This is why I have no sympathy for misogynists or rapists of any stripe.

It could be a reference to that “14 Words” white supremacist bullshit:

Blue balls aren’t at least mildly uncomfortable? Well, shit, I’m old and I didn’t know that!

Luckily, no one ever tried using that to guilt me, or I’d be hunting them down about now, in order to strew Legos about their carpet.

Men are predators by nature

But remember, it’s feminists who hate men

Redsilkphoenix, I love knowing that ducks get boyfriends that protect them from rape gangs. This almost makes up for the roosters. (Seriously folks, eat more coq au vin, only YOU can stop the rooster menace.)

@Redsilkphoenix Ducks have an even better reason than other animals to hate being raped– corkscrew dicks. Which the female duck anatomy is cruelly mis-structured to accommodate. So even consensual sex would be ridiculously painful and kind of invalidates intelligent design theory.

@JS: Eminently plausible, fits established behaviour, and entertaining to imagine. All the criteria I look for in a Trump Theory!

Nazi Boy says this:

Have I forced someone to drink? No. Have I spiked someone’s drink? No. Men are predators by nature blah, blah, blah.

So if men are predators by nature, why haven’t you forced someone to drink? Or spiked someone’s drink? And why have you removed your comment?

Are you trying to make us believe that you’re a predator who doesn’t belong in prison?

It’s possible that his post is just trolling (I hope it is). On 4chan, people would post Nazi insignia and use slurs casually as a type of in-joke. Common anti-gay and anti-black slurs were used as general insults that supposedly had nothing to do with the target’s sexuality or race. Supposedly nobody is seriously a Nazi, so (trolls reasoned) using Nazi symbolism casually will only offend the most gullible or emotionally weak people. There was also some serious pedophile apologia, of course.

Researchers who studied (pre-Age of Kek) trolls found that trolls have a higher level of Dark Triad personality traits compared to the general population. There’s a spectrum of how seriously trolls take other trolls and whether they mean what they say, but all trolls have high Dark Triad traits (at least high narcissism and Machiavellianism). Some of them are genuinely radicalized into their “in-joke” ideology.

If you look at the politics of 4chan, 4chan has always (obviously) been fringe, but the primary focus wasn’t on far right politics or race or gender (apart from the casual slurs discussed above). Trolls got some level of support from groups like the ACLU and EFF, but no major social or political movement sided with them (even the Libertarian Party was lukewarm about defending 4chan trolls). Then Breitbart and the alt-right came along and gave them IRL political legitimacy by defending their causes, so 4chan reciprocated and started promoting Breitbart/Infowars/RT and far right ideology. They’re Machiavellian, so they don’t care what the far right does as long as it’s allied with them and they’re not personally hurt by far right policies.

So yeah, the GOP’s strategy for reaching millennials was to have literal fascists recruit the worst people they could find on the Internet.

If it weren’t for, you know, the rape, it would be kinda hilarious how transparently desperate this thing is to convince itself that it didn’t do anything wrong. This has nothing to do with what other people think, it responded to a comment that only said “what the fuck” with another pathetic attempt at a justification, as if it’s literally talking to itself! I can just picture this thing sitting at the breakfast table in the morning, audibly making excuses to nobody in between sips of coffee.
It’s also brilliantly fitting that the thing looks ok but calls itself ugly, because that’s not insecurity right there, that’s a scapegoat. It blames it’s looks so it doesn’t have to accept the fact that it’s shitty personality is to blame. Because there’s not much you can do about your looks, but you can change your personality, it’s just hard and not fun. And if this slimy cretin’s actions prove anything, it’s that IT is a weak coward.

CW: Some profanity. Everything else is already in this ultra-cringy news story so nothing else to really warn about I don’t think.

So a few serious questions come to mind.

1.) What the fuck?
2.) How has this child gotten to be like this? Does he literally have no role models at all?
3.) What the fuck????
4.) Please, for the love of Space Jesus, would somebody start prosecuting these people? Have we notified the police about this user’s post? Is there a way to do that easily? Does anybody know a way to check the IP to see what state or precinct it might come from?
5.) Has Reddit Corporate been contacted about this post and this subreddit?
6.) More broadly, what can we do as individual citizens to organize and mobilize support for dramatically increasing the incidence and severity of rape prosecution? I’m sick to death of this “Tee hee, I did stuff to a passed out girl but it’s not rape” nonsense. Bodily autonomy is not okay to violate. Ever. *EVER*.

I’ve had quite a few roosters and hens, and they’re a bit different personality-wise, but basically roosters should have about four or eight hens each. Some roosters are aggressive, and those go in the pot here, pretty much straight away.

Others are passive and gentle, but too passive is also bad, as they won’t effectively defend from predators. You sort of need a balance of…medium assholery.

None of which means anything about humans. Chickens are tiny little dinosaur descendants.

(Always find it kind of interesting that when aggressive people talk about humans as animals, they want to chat about things like violent chimps rather than friendly bonobos.)

I just got banned from whyevolutionistrue, by Freeze Peach Warrior Jerry Coyne himself, for calling him gullible to fall for the Medusa Magazine hoax. Such thin skin, these FPWs.
