The rapists need to seek help before they act violent and crazy.

This is sexual violence as a form of terrorism. It is political violence and it is chilling and horrific, and AOC was absolutely right to be terrified that the goons (now pardoned) laying siege to the capital would rape her if they found her. Small changes won't fix this. FLIP THE TABLE NOW

Yes. Turn the shame onto the people acting antisocial. It's not "powerful" to rape someone - there's something wrong with you! It's not powerful to hurt anyone, it's demonstrating that you are unregulated and need therapy.

Agree it's untrue that AFAB folks have inherent empathy that AMAB people don't. it's also true that AMAB people are disproportionately committing the most violence. White women fucking with Black folks is unequivocally bad. It's not at the volume of DV or rape, is the thing we need to deal with.

a little louder for the cheap seats in the back

One of the biggest myths is that men rape by mistake. Like, "Oh, they need consent training." But research is very clear: Sexual violence is not a mistake. It is an intentionally made decision by people who know they don't have consent. They just don't prioritize consent over things like status, power, domination, and sexual gratification.
For my research, I got a certificate of confidentiality from the National Institutes of Health, so my notes couldn't be subpoenaed. One of the reasons I call them perpetrators in my work is because every single person I interviewed confessed in that context. The first question I would ask them was, "When you received that email from Title IX that you were under investigation, did you know what it was about?" Every perpetrator I interviewed said "yes." If sexual assault were a miscommunication, you would be wondering, What have I possibly done wrong? That is not the way that any of them reacted because they knew.

Yeah. It's important, when creating a 3D figure, to look at all the angles it will be observed at, not just how nice it looks from the front. Signed, a sculpture major.

There's a big statue of Jesus comforting a kneeling, crying person at the local cemetery, and when you drive by, most angles make it look like Jesus is getting a blow job. We obviously call it Blow Job Jesus.

This paragraph builds and builds the insane comedy but you're not ready for the kicker.

Atelier Missor, active since 2021, describes itself on X as a “classical foundry in Paris, on its way to building a new Rome.” Its founder, Missor Movahed Ghaleh Nouri, has claimed he was drawn to pursue classical sculpture after receiving a vision of Napoleon I while wandering the Place Vendôme in Paris. His staff wear identical tan suspenders, billowy shirts, and unkempt facial hair, and—per previous versions of their website—spent much of the first half of the 2020s producing bronze and clay busts of such figures as (of course) Napoleon, Nietzsche, and Jordan Peterson.

Exactly this. And in fact, many models *have* been created this way, and decades of prior machine learning systems *were* created this way, consensually. These things are choices! People are STILL working this way! It’s not just that a better world is possible — it already EXISTS. We can nurture it.

I have a trans friend who was shot in the face for her country, and we're not sure if she would fall under "no weirdos" (she is so boring) or "no fatties" (the VA meds she's on makes her shot-at face a little puffy) She's retired now but maybe Pete can send her a letter letting her know.

The press will do stories on Republican sex creeps, but it will never, ever point out -- much less make an ongoing narrative out of -- the fact that the GOP has been *ridden* with sex creeps for decades. You have to be blind not to see the pattern.

That seems to be what AI can do. Take the creative fun parts of jobs, does them poorly, and us humans are left with the grunt work. We want machines to do the grunt work. That seems to escape the brain trust of Silicon Valley, none of whom have ever read or understood a book.
