If the first thing on your mind after hearing some popular figure you admire is a rapist is about what you can do to help the rapist I don’t trust your intentions and never will.

The person who needs to be intentionally restored to the community in the aftermath of intimate violence is the victim of that violence. To do that often requires attacking the perpetrators’ power/access to victims. Asking “but how can we fix their heart?” as a bystander is deeply inappropriate.

The disproportionate concern with “rehabilitating” abusers and rapists (nearly always code for maintaining their position and recovering their social status) is actually part of the problem.

My favorite bit is when she says the counselors let Jason drown because they were too busy "making love." Not just going down on each other on the bottom bunk in the Seneca cabin, *making love.* Generous, romantic, tender love. Can you begrudge them this intimacy, Pamela, truly? Search your heart!

My kids are goody two-shoeses and if this was the worst they ever got up to I'd consider myself lucky, but try explaining that to the world's most dangerous "middle-aged churchgoer who has a bumper sticker that says 'Keep Christ in Christmas' on her car and brings blondies to the bake sale."

It's really funny seeing the kind of degenerate sex drugs and rocknroll behavior the doomed teens get up to in this one: playing half a game of Strip Monopoly in the most chaste way possible, having relatively romantic teen sex (in an actual bed!) and then sparking a j afterwards. Oh no!!!

Last night I saw Friday the 13th, the original, for the first time. The "twist" comes out of nowhere since we've never seen this woman before, and the film looks like it was lit by giving the tallest members of the crew flashlights, but it's always fun to watch murders. Okay let me rephrase that

Instead of saying "I'm hungover" or "all the spicy peppers I ate last night are shredding my asshole apart" say this: "the sins of my past.... are catching up with me." Sounds way more ominous and badass

restorative justice is when nothing bad happens to the guy who did the crime but anyone who talks about how he did the crime gets yelled at

I've decided to revisit my thoughts on this piece because my rambles last night were more charitable on account of exhaustion and alcohol. I think the discussion about rehabilitative justice within the social media landscape is well considered. Deploying it in this way is deeply irresponsible.

this sucks. you want "restorative justice" as opposed to punishment, but what has he restored? what has he done? what does a youtuber losing his career for admitting to be a rapist have to do with carceral abolition when he has never and will never see prison time, or even actual consequences?

You’re not being wise you’re not being radical you are saying more-or-less the same shit that the Christian right says about rapists. You care more for saving the souls of rapists than you care for giving support to their victims.

“This popular rapist brings to mind questions of rehabilitation and repair—“ Shut up!! Shut up. If you’re not the victim, or responding to a victim *specifically* asking for action that centers rehabilitation, shut the fuck up! It’s actually fucked up that this is the primary thing on your mind!

I agree that we have to have conversations about rehabilitation if we're to pursue restorative justice. But why do we demonstrate concern and fight for the rapists when we've barely begun the work of supporting victims? Why all the effort for THIS man? ...because you don't know how to let go?

So you bought a book of his and now you're bummed. OK? Why do you make intellectual authorities out of dudes who have a YouTube channel? why is it so difficult to read an essay and go "cool, I agree" and move on? why does fandom and admiration become part of the intellectual engagement?

It's true that rehabilitation and change and growth and all of these things should be factors in how we gauge whether or not someone deserves to move on from their crime. But accountability starts with taking responsibility, which Gellar sought to avoid for a decade.

I would love it if we could spare even an ounce of this concern for the victims who have been forced out of game spaces for speaking up. I have never once seen a writer try to reconcile how we've forced people out through gossip, ridicule and lack of compassion

I was fine yesterday but now I'm just annoyed. Spare me the talk of how he "did his time" when he quite literally did not: he got a slap on the wrist school suspension. He did not face justice for his crime.

"What to do about Jacob Geller" I dunno, move on? A single person's work is not so integral and sacred that we need to wring our hands about what to do with it. There are a lot of people whose work you could be reading or listening to. Stop making icons out of random dudes. is that so hard

The same arrogance that led him to pursuing being an influencer despite knowing what he did would eventually come out betrays just as much about his character as the act itself I'd argue

He knows about consent, which is why he deliberately avoided letting his peers know about his history, down to obfuscating the college he went to because he was infamous enough that people apparently still talk about him there

I'm all for restorative justice but forgive me if after sleeping on I don't exactly think Geller has really learned to respect consent when he knows damn well he never would have gotten where he did if he was honest and forthcoming about the skeletons in his closet, so he actively avoided it
