Could always not watch it. Just a suggestion.

Hey, MisterMcGibblets... I say this with the utmost conviction and sincerity:

You are an idiot. Nobody wants to be humiliated like that. Harassment isn't complimentary, it's sexual bullying.

I was told that the Straw Hats reaching Saobody was around the half way point of the story, so it may even go longer...

Thank you for your kind words! I'm happy to report that I've been symptom-free (or near enough) for some years now. Knowing my triggers and taking meds when I need to have made all the difference.

Exactly! A common symptom of mania is hypersexuality, but that doesn't translate to sexually aggressive behavior unless you're already sexually aggressive. If, in your normal state, you respect others' boundaries, you don't suddenly become a creep when manic. You might go to a bar to seek out sex, you might hook up

I happen to have bipolar disorder type I. Although I've done strange things while manic that I would never do in a healthy mental state, I've never sexually assaulted anyone. According to my team of doctors, being manic just amps up your ordinary personality; it doesn't turn Jekylls into Hydes. Kinda like being drunk.

I think that being bipolar, being in a manic state with psychotic symptoms, and having reality testing issues does diminish your capacity to some extent. It doesn't make what he did any less serious, any less despicable, or any less of a crime. The question of whether he did it as a result of suffering from a mental

How the fuck is this a sane response to this issue?

I saw a case where a judge called a seven-year-old rape victim "provocative."

What the judge said IS upsetting, but they DID also make him seem worse than in the original article by omitting some information.

Seriously. It's disgusting how much more we value property rights than a woman's right to her own safety.

That's because once you realize rapists are ordinary guys it can only change your worldview. Believing rapists target only strangers makes the world safe———-for men and their illusions. They just have to toss women under the bus.

Bullshit.

I also find this depressingly, yet hilariously, misandist (miisandristic?), given that it is often spouted by men. Dudes: do you even hear what are you SAYING about menfolk when you say this shit?? That you're all just a few "right conditions" away from being rapists? I know a shit ton of rape survivors who have a

What the judge is saying is truly contemptible and outrageous, but amidst the outrage let's not forget that the guy IS going to prison for five years.

Given that only 18% of rape victims were raped by a stranger, this judge has a dramatically ignorant misconception of who the "classical" rapist is.

Arguably, it shouldn't be their responsibility, your whole tipping culture* is utterly ridiculous. Nobodies wage should depend on someone elses whim.

Nope.
