actually fixing this country is going to require declaring trumpism an inherently treasonous movement like the confederacy. winning their votes shouldn’t be a concern

I don't get why people are acting like someone has a right to be famous on the internet. Like, him getting kicked off podcasts and losing subscribers and deals is not a carceral punishment. People learned what he did and decided they don't want to hang out with him anymore.

An excellent thread and I'm totally on board with Max's thoughts. I do personally fall into the camp of "can't relate if I feel the character isn't 'me' enough", but that isn't a hard and fast rule. I will stand by Tidus being a terrible player insert, however :P

I've been maybe *too* open about my huge fuck-ups (two DUIs and cheating, in particular) but I think the Jacob Geller thing points at exactly why I've openly talked about that stuff. I know I'm very flawed, and I'd rather everyone know where I'm coming from than to pretend to be someone I'm not.

I don’t know what restorative justice looks like in a case like this. I don’t know what it means to hold someone accountable. But I do know how painful it is to see someone admit to doing sexual violence against someone else and a crowd of people immediately rush to minimize it as a youthful mistake

It’s honestly really triggering for me that once again, in the aftermath of people finding out a man who is a beloved public figure committed sex crimes in his past, the conversation has to immediately shift into how and when the guy can return to the status quo he was in

If you feel like you need to post something that empathizes with Jacob Gellar, I get it, but close the app and instead practice empathizing with the victim. I do not say this glibly. Just do it and sit with that discomfort.

100% this thread. I will add that like... How exactly do people expect someone in the public spotlight to "disclose immediately"? Is it when you make a social media account? When you start getting paid to talk about things? Do you make a big list sorted by severity? It's just not realistic.

This reminds… whenever men talk about “natural instincts” or similar fuckery I usually respond by asking how they get through life without having been toilet trained, if they can’t control their instincts. They usually dispute the premise which to me proves my point.

On Jacob Geller

I'm aware of the rape allegations against Jacob Geller, as well as the fact that his name is on a court-ordered list of UNC students disciplined for sexual violence. I've hesitated on whether to post anything about it, because the victim hasn’t been identified and I don’t want to participate in a retraumatizing conversation against their wishes. At the same time, as someone who has collaborated with Jacob Geller, I do not want my silence to be taken as endorsement.

For my part, I did not know about this and I wish I had. What justice and repair look like in cases like these are for the victim to decide, and I do not know their wishes or what accountability processes, if any, took place. However, strictly on a personal level, I’m uncomfortable having collaborated with someone who has presented himself as a nonthreatening feminist without ever disclosing his history of sexual violence to me or any other colleagues I’ve spoken to. I have no intention of ever working with Geller again. Beyond that, the person this happened to ought to be the ultimate authority on what happens next, and how they wish to tell their story if at all.

Remember when Channel Awesome had a swath of women come forward about harassment including a minor that was groomed by a producer and the website made a post debunking this by saying “but THESE women had a GREAT time working here”? Of course they use AI, they already struggled with consent.
