I also forgot that the one who started that whole thing, Karma Monkey's girlfriend was actually friends with the child rapist. I still don't know what they were thinking posting that for support.

Not just friends, but *best* friends. It's mind boggling.

I have a fairly small, tight group of friends. About 10 years ago one of them was arrested, tried, and convicted of raping his niece and filming it since she was 5. He is no longer our friend in any respect.

:smith: :hf: :smith: High five on that, a guy I literally grew up with got arrested after high school for grooming an underage girl he was babysitting with porn and molesting her. Pretty much everyone in town unpersoned him after that, it especially sucked because his family were like the nicest people too.

I feel like that person being in prison would ease that transition greatly, though.

The only reason Karma Monkey even posted it is her circle of friends were all convinced this was the lightning rod of a case that would change minds and they needed to publicize and rally around it to advocate for major change.

I thought it was said somewhere in the thread, but there was a stellar quote like "Gay/Trans people are already facing horrific levels of abuse and discrimination, and one of the most common attacks is to accuse them of being child molesters; holding up a trans child molester as a martyr for the cause will do far more harm then good"

I feel like if my best friend was in prison on even the most heinous of crimes I'd still offer them a level of human support, if not friendship; but raping their own child and uploading it to the internet might overwhelm that fanciful notion of grace.

Yeah I remember posting what I did because I was getting riled at people defending transphobic takes on it but ugh I shouldn't have at all. There's no defense at all for being friends with a child rapist

Even the most objective reading of that thread derail would not be kind to the people standing their ground and insisting the real problem was how the child rapist was being misgendered and how she was a lovely beautiful person who's death was a tragedy.

You can pretty much guess who the good fyad posters were from the bad ones in that thread. The permabans from that thread are pretty indicative of the people who felt that making lovely trans comments about the whole thing "ironically" was more important then actual humor making light of the entire context of posting that child rapist as a martyr.

Were a lot of those posters from fyad? I know a couple were but I don't remember who all everyone is from back then anymore

Does anyone else remember a thread where OP's roommate and his girlfriend were openly into bdsm to the point where they had a human sized cage in the living room, and everyone else was trying to watch TV while the girlfriend sat silently in the cage?

I skimmed through the goldmine and didn't see it, so i might be confusing it with a reddit relationships post.

I think I remember seeing this in the goldmine. The roommate was leaving the girlfriend locked up while he left to run errands, and the OP was worried how he'd explain it to the cops if there was ever an accident with this super safe scenario.

Does anybody remember an ancient TCC thread where someone with no growing experience and very little equipment managed to grow marijuana from a seed in a styrofoam cup? He posted updates throughout the process and a bunch of know-it-all grower goons kept telling him he was definitely going to kill the plant or that it wouldn't produce usable weed but I think he managed to raise it to maturity. His janky closet setup was heartwarming if I recall

If my best friend raped a child then they would no longer be my best friend. This would solve the dilemma of being concerned about my friend in prison.

Being extremely charitable it sounded like the person who was best friends with her was also in prison? And if you're a trans woman in prison your pickings for friends and self defense are kinda slim so you gotta stand your ground where you can.

Doesn't explain why they thought it was a good idea to take it to the internet though

Oh man that sounds familiar. I think maybe that was the context for what I posted in that thread, about her possibly being the only other trans woman around. Otherwise I'm honestly not sure why I would phrase it that way. I dunno I feel 2015 may as well be 20 years ago nowadays

toward the bitter end of the last sagas thread, where the topic of argument was whether or not fyads were using neopets as a derailing discussion topic to silence trans posters trying to speak for change, in the middle of an unrelated series of posts i said "destruct-o-match". for the record, this was accidental. the post had been sitting there for about three hours while i wandered the house in a daze, and i didn't refresh the thread before i clicked submit. it wasn't an attempt to derail the conversation, nor to defend fyad in any way, but by the time i realised what i'd done the opportunity for ninja editing had passed and an apology post would have just inflamed the situation. i hope that nobody thinks less of me for what i did

Did anyone ever talk about the one goon from the Anonymous Confessions thread who sincerely argued in favor of hiding secret cameras in dressing rooms and bathrooms because he thought cranking it to strangers was a victimless crime as long as you didn’t put it on the internet?

He ate a perma for it but I always thought it was funny that he literally only ever posted there and in the Overwatch threads
