Someone is “telling on themselves” but I don’t think they realize

You can’t even come up with a simple response to basic questions, not even your own sarcastic one, so you retreat to using this tired, boring, extensively repeated combination of two often used phrases. Vapid.

Typical reply from the terminally online liberal who makes no real arguments, has no regard for reality, simply wants to parade their virtues in front of all their other do nothing phone addicted phonies. Go retweet another post. You’re making a big difference

Michael @michaelleide.bsky.social · 04/10/2026
Yeah? No kidding. Were you given a mandate to determine who is and isn’t a rapist? And do you do it based on vibes, or what? Do you also feel it’s your responsibility to enact righteous punishment on whoever you’ve decided deserves it?

You know you haven't said a single thing? You've just been making up a story and telling it to yourself. No substance, whatsoever. Totally vapid. You failed to answer even a single one of my very direct questions.

You have no clue why I am upset, do you? No idea. Just blind, reactionary, knee-jerk regurgitation of what you've seen others doing.

Michael @michaelleide.bsky.social · 02/10/2026
Yes excellent response you’ve really addressed the issues here. Fucking idiot. Get out of here. You don’t get to pile on and ruin someone’s life, period. What do you think gives you the right to be the arbiter of morality? Immature little brats

People just live in their own world, hear what they want to hear, and soldier on in their ignorance

What? You… that doesn’t even… Jesus. It’s hopeless. Show me where I defended sexual abuse. Show me where I’m “classifying people based on their objection to me”. Are you incapable of critical thought, or just like to parade your paper virtues

Michael @michaelleide.bsky.social · 02/10/2026
What?! Are you people actually this dumb? Or just totally bad faith in all your interactions?
000
Michael @michaelleide.bsky.social · 02/10/2026
Based on what?! Your fucking feelings? Fuck off. You don’t get to fucking judge anyone.

Michael @michaelleide.bsky.social · 02/10/2026
This is the same bullshit. Attempting to assign bad intent to anything you can, regardless of what the circumstances actually are. What do you even think I meant by “you people” other than referring to the righteous mob out for blood?

Michael @michaelleide.bsky.social · 02/10/2026
You’re a fucking pathetic drone, grabbing a pitchfork with your ignorant comrades to march through town to burn a witch, without any regard for reality, facts, or anything else

Michael @michaelleide.bsky.social · 02/10/2026
You're thick. You think because you were a victim you have the right to judge anyone, regardless of the reality of the situation. You're not hearing what I am saying at all.
200
Michael @michaelleide.bsky.social · 02/10/2026
You obviously don't care about the victim, you and others like you are making it about yourselves and Jacob. It's gross.
100
Michael @michaelleide.bsky.social · 02/10/2026
Proving your point? What? You don't actually have anything substantive to say, you're just going to parrot the same nonsense over and over. I'm not defending anybody, I'm admonishing all the righteous assholes who want to play the role of judge and jury.
100
Michael @michaelleide.bsky.social · 02/10/2026
You people are out for public humiliation and want to see blood. It's gross. You have no clue what happened, and given the context we do have, I wouldn't jump to calling him a 'rapist.' You do a disservice to those actually abused by diminishing the power of the word.
200
Michael @michaelleide.bsky.social · 02/10/2026
What about my post history implies insincerity? You're avoiding the question because the answer is "I don't know, I actually have literally no information on what happened" - yet you are comfortable calling him a rapist.
100
Michael @michaelleide.bsky.social · 02/10/2026
You're fucking deranged. How are you so comfortable calling him a rapist? How are you so comfortable making these broad statements when you know literally nothing about what happened?
100
Michael @michaelleide.bsky.social · 02/10/2026
What did Jacob do, exactly?

Michael @michaelleide.bsky.social · 02/10/2026
Dude, shut up.
060
Michael @michaelleide.bsky.social · 02/10/2026
It's so fucking performative. So empty. So void of real emotion. It's just like you're reading a script that you were given. It makes me sick.
100
Michael @michaelleide.bsky.social · 02/10/2026
Fucking get a grip you absolute lunatics. The cognitive dissonance and moral ambiguity that you people are putting on display is disgusting. None of you leave any room for nuance or interpretation, and it seems like if you had your way, people would be stoned to death based on no information at all

Michael @michaelleide.bsky.social · 01/10/2026
If you think I'm the one doing the harassing you have a lot to learn.
000
Michael @michaelleide.bsky.social · 01/10/2026
Direct your anger towards the hard targets, then. The people in politics and power, who are self admitted rapists and traffickers, who show no remorse for their actions. Indeed they flaunt them and parade their victims.

Michael @michaelleide.bsky.social · 01/10/2026
I can't really make the points that should be made to help you understand why your position is so punitive and actually counter productive to what you probably believe in, in this short form posting. You should really consider if everyone who has 'sexually assaulted' someone are equal.
100
Michael @michaelleide.bsky.social · 01/10/2026
The internet is filled with shitty people who claim to want justice, fairness, and equality for all, but are so blinded by their righteousness that they don't care that they are betraying those very beliefs, so long as they can participate in shared public spectacle.

Michael @michaelleide.bsky.social · 01/10/2026
That's insane. It was a single incident, in which he literally spoke with the victim and they both came to understand that it was classified as assault. Based on Jacob's statement, the facts that he shared, and the relative leniency of the punishment, I believe he is remorseful.
100
Michael @michaelleide.bsky.social · 01/10/2026
No, only when I interact with short sighted, reactionary, performative people on the internet, who care not for details or facts, only for the spectacle of harassing someone they have deemed morally inferior. It's gross the way you discard all the details and immediately yell 'rape'.

Michael @michaelleide.bsky.social · 01/10/2026
You seem very comfortable in the role of a victim
1190
Michael @michaelleide.bsky.social · 01/10/2026
Right. Because you being a woman has anything to do with what I’m saying. You’re just proving the point I’m trying to make, without even being aware of it
1230
Michael @michaelleide.bsky.social · 01/10/2026
You don’t even have a hint as to what the situation was. You think someone who has made a bad decision should reveal that decision to everyone they meet for the rest of their life? He and the victim agreed after a discussion. Do you have no sense of what that means?
100
Michael @michaelleide.bsky.social · 01/10/2026
No. I don’t think you’re capable of understanding the connections here. Incarceration, reformation, redemption. Probably too nuanced for your small one track mind
2320
Michael @michaelleide.bsky.social · 01/10/2026
You fucking people have no nuance. Read this again. He and the victim spoke and agreed he assaulted her, is what was said. You jump to using the word “rape” immediately. So reactionary. You do a disservice to victims by diluting the weight of the word. You’re the performative one.

I wonder what your opinions on our incarceration state are

Excellent writing

Michael @michaelleide.bsky.social · 29/09/2026
Yeah, that’s a pretty good perspective to have. In many situations, I should consider, have I always been here, or was it a journey? If it’s a journey, be helpful to those still walking

Fucking vicious alt text god damn

Michael @michaelleide.bsky.social · 29/09/2026
There were some good discussions, but also some really disheartening ones. When someone says “my beef with accessibility” I have to just stop reading lest I embroil myself in a very negative online altercation.

Best possible outcome

Michael @michaelleide.bsky.social · 29/09/2026
I’m excusing it. Severe mental illness, trauma, sexual abuse. She was failed every step of the way. Now 30 years later, remorseful, treated medically, and understanding of her actions, she gives back to her prison community and tries to help others. Cruel and unusual, at a minimum.

That’s fucking wild. I’m going to check this game out solely based on this.

Michael @michaelleide.bsky.social · 28/09/2026
You’re very talented! I’m always struck by your art. It feels… unexpected, in some way. I mean that in the least creepily parasocial way possible.

Michael @michaelleide.bsky.social · 27/09/2026
Yeah, I know, now, unfortunately.
030
Michael @michaelleide.bsky.social · 27/09/2026
Primarily because of power and wealth imbalances, such as those we see in the people controlling AI.
000
Michael @michaelleide.bsky.social · 27/09/2026
Yeah. I agree. While I believe it to be theoretically possible for AI and robotics to advance civilization to the point of near utopia-like automation, enabling people to pursue their passions and create art, or run marathons, or see the world... I don't think us as humans will ever achieve it.
