Damn Peeta, the Hunger Games changed you.

I cried during Catching Fire when Katniss was talking to Rue's family during the victory tour. Soooooooo sad.

I look forward to the Sunday part of the trilogy where she's at college, and panics about finals, but ends up just drinking bow wine and marathoning netflix with her roommate.

Yeah, I mean, watching yourself in the mirror? Who even does that? I think he's just a massive narcissist and misanthrope who loves to bully people.

SO, SEATTLE PEOPLE. Real question, because I dunno who/where else to ask.

By the time I got to the section about how annoying women are (after reading how amazing men) I stared to wonder if this guy was closeted. Then I got to his description of masturbation being a homosexual act (I'm assuming he thinks women don't masturbate) and being a sin especially if you're a guy watching yourself…

I went to high school with this guy. He was in my older sister's grade. I can assure you, he is THE WORST.

You do understand most child molestation is not physically forced right? That usually predators groom their victims and manipulate them to the point that they think they are consenting and that they won't tell because they don't want to get their molesters in trouble. They don't have to have physical power over them…

Exactly what I was thinking. Yes victims of child sex abuse have all the power when their molestors tell them "don't tell or I'll get in trouble". That's part of the head game. Jesus christ on a pogo stick! As the girl says in the article "I did not want to get him in trouble." She wasn't sitting there reveling in…

I'm 38. I'm a woman. I was not a woman when I was 17 and in high school. Yes, adults can manipulate teenagers, no matter the gender.

He gave her all the power? Are you fucking kidding me? That's exactly what child molesters do - don't tell anyone about our secret, or I'll get in trouble! You don't want me to get in trouble, do you? - it's disgusting, manipulative, and abusive.

Better words would be pressure, persuade, and manipulate, then. Please don't tell me that a 17 year old girl has all the power over a 33 year old married man who talks her into taking sexy pictures. He is an adult, with an adult's mind, who can plainly see the insecurities in a teenager and navigate how to…

Creepy man preys on unaware girl's poor life choice to trust a stranger. Man realizes he can and was caught, feigns apology.

Just as disturbing as the actual event is the shitstorm of the commentators. That really underlines how this is not the isolated incident of some gross weirdo but simply the due extension of beliefs that exist among many.

Yeah, 'cause you only need the threat of violence to coerce someone. The fact that he is a 33 year old man taking pictures of a 17 year old girl, manipulating her teenage need for acceptance as well as her burgeoning sexuality, can't be a form of coercion. Nope. Teenage girls should be fair game for married adult…

When I was 13 about to turn 14 (& entering HS) a 26 y/o man came onto me, going so far as to kiss me. I was dumb and didn't know wtf I was thinking. Years later he apologized and also claimed he was in a dark place. Good for him. That doesn't excuse preying upon young kids/teens.

Boom.

You're saying "sext" like it's nothing but text that they exchanged. He coerced naked photos and pornographic video out of her. She's a minor.

Off topic somewhat:

"I was in a dark place" or some such bullshit... I need to add this to my running list of things that men say when they get caught cheating or doing some other bad shit.
