As I have said a million times on this: we are not a jury. We get to believe Dr. Luke is guilty, and I do. Retracting an accusation doesn't mean much in a world where victims are routinely coerced into retracting by police and the legal system. Also, your phrasing about how any of my arguments on this went down is…

Yeah, agreed on Lucky.

I remember being kind of disappointed by Lucky, but it was ages ago when I read it. What did you think?

Well, of course I'm a liar. I'm a woman!

Oh god, but definitely read something cheerful after. A Pratchett chaser, maybe.

Of course! I read it all over a single weekend. A weekend where I was (mostly) the only woman among 15 guys, interestingly.

I saw that story last week! Stuff like that is exactly why I didn't report, and I was in Baltimore at the time too!

It's okay! I'll admit I was really shocked and was wondering if someone hacked you or something. And thanks for making me still look cool!

Lack of consent is NOT part of the appeal for most people into BDSM. "Safe, sane, consensual" is an absolute rule.

And they're asexual even when they have and enjoy sex! They just don't experience sexual attraction.

No, just like I don't go from gay to straight depending on what gender I'm fucking.

Thank you! I figured, and will admit that it was one of the things I took too long head-scratching about. I'm always happy to be educated though!

Yeah, but you can't know when it's going to be "just intended to scare" vs. when it's going to be serious. Would any of us have thought, back in the day, that our one awful troll would be stalking people/this site after years? I was listening to a podcast today about the woman who created Pottermore: a simple angry…
