But he got the truck back later? It's a weird detail to throw in because of that.

See, afterward he had to drive the truck back with "STOLEN CAR: ARREST ME" written in peeled-off paint on the passenger side through the largest speed trap in Texas....

Late on the paedo/molestation chat, but let me say it is just as creepy from the other end.

I taught high school for a year, and maybe one or two of the girls got a crush on me. And it is creepy as gently caress to be 35 year old man and have a 16 year old girl smile at you in *that way* and touch your arm during class. You have to shut that poo poo down early.

We've already seen a dead horse
My high school's drama teacher got arrested for loving some boys backstage. He wasn't a Star Trek fan, but he did look like Jared from Subway.

Many of his students were disappointed that he couldn't teach anymore, because his classes were usually spent watching Star Wars.

When you say "boys" do you mean students, or did he just bring a bunch of elementary schoolers backstage and hope nobody would think something's off.

I wouldn't say just as creepy (an adult doing it is way creepier than a dumb kid), but it is unnerving in its own way. As adults, though, we have a lot more power to get them to knock it off than the reverse situation.

I love how much the doctor screws with him in his story.

"I'm sorry, sir. With your condition survival is unlikely."
"It's worse than we thought. You have 24 hours to live."
"Oh actually looks like we were wrong! You're going to be fine. False alarm!"

That part reminded me of a forum drama I heard about years ago, probably through the now defunct Fandom_Wank. Some girl who was apparently a big-name-fan claimed she was dying of a disease so rare that it didn't even have a name, and at one point her "sister" (rather obviously the pseuicide poster herself) claimed that the doctor had calculated that this patient with the ultra-rare nameless disease had exactly one hour to live. And the poor sad girl was watching the minutes tick away and not wanting to live anymore because no one on the forum believed her... At least no one demanded photos of feet.

Didn't a bunch of similar drama occur on Tumblr just last year, too? I think a bunch of people claimed they'd attempted suicide over anonymous hate, and then tried to dismiss these posts as the work of hackers.

I think it was during the "4Chan Raid", which mostly consisted of a handful of assholes actually posting gore and porn in random tags and hundreds or thousands of Tumblr users freaking out thinking that the whole website had been made unsafe. There were some false claims of suicides and attempted suicides over it that only fueled the Tumblr rage, and a good number of people still believe that some horrific attack occurred.

This reminds me of a roleplay board I used to be active on. It was basically an American take on Battle Royale, with a large player base and well over 100 unique characters in each installment of the game. Very tight-knit community where members would add each other on Facebook and occasionally meet or even hook up in real life. Unfortunately, this also meant that pretty much any drama took a toll on everyone. One member (who distinguished herself by being a very vocal communist) got banned after her character was randomly chosen to be killed off and she flipped out, threatening to report the board for violating the terms and conditions of the hosting provider with its sexual and violent content and get the whole game shut down. Another member got banned a year later for threatening to do the same poo poo to try and get her ban overturned.

Relevant to this thread was the sudden discovery that two members were actually a catfish. They were supposedly an Irish lesbian couple, but someone eventually noticed that their pictures were taken from social media profiles. Investigation and interrogation eventually revealed that both girls were actually a single guy who had been pretending to be a lesbian couple....for some strange reason. Even though the fake profiles were around for years and had made friends with many members, he got banned because it was just too creepy for anyone to stand.

Yeah, that's part of the stereotypical Tumblrite package: extreme avoidance of any kind of discomfort or bad feelings.

Basically, people on 4Chan claimed that they were going to flood popular fandom tags with gore and hardcore porn in an effort to trigger sensitive people. In reality, very little of this was actually done and I never once saw a thing. But the crowd that usually freaks out about this sort of thing did think it was actually happening and began flooding the site with warnings and panicked screaming to try and mitigate an "attack" that barely happened.

The only part that was really funny was the Homestuck crowd shrugging and being completely unaffected by anything because they're all loving weird as it is.

Years ago on a webcomic forum this one guy made his own comic site and forum and a few members followed him there. A spin off, not a split. One day someone got his login info, or I guess it could have been him, and posted on the front page that he was the guy's cousin or something, and the guy had died. Everyone was pretty sad about it until it got cleared up a few days later. Okay, file under internet poo poo. A few weeks later one of his regulars, he called himself Blackthorn or some other mid-2000s forum thing, made a thread back on the old, bigger forum. Hey, this is Blackthorn's cousin, and, well, no easy way to say this, he died. Yep, he's dead. All be very sad now plz.

Pretty much the entire population of the new site had come from the big forum, including a mod. I still wonder how he expected that to turn out.

Cyberia's right. Victims of sexual abuse tend to normalize outward sexual behaviors in ways that are different from just typical hormonal teenagers. And since teachers are mandated reporters, they need to err on the side of caution to avoid being on the wrong side of any laws.

That may be true, but having been a teenage girl, sometimes creepy incompetent flirting is just creepy incompetent flirting.

Mandated reporters don't have to report horny teenagers who flirt with or have a crush on an authority figure, which is good because then everyone would get reported at some point.
