Can you summarize it because I don't think I have the fortitude to read it but I also don't want to repeat lies about it's content?

Zero is a groomer who beats women and, silences them with threats of legal action. Sky's house enables this. There's multiple underage girls that stepped forward to call him out in it.

There's some evidence that Vanessa was underage when she started dating him and being with him, but she released a statement through Omni earlier saying it's not true and any abuse/getting yelled at etc was her fault for not being stable enough.

Reading through the lines it actually sounds like pretty much everyone in the house was in on being a creep to her.

Choco creep manifesto posted:

At the beginning of our second year, about 7 months into our relationship, M ran. She went to a Safe Place. She was dragged back home after a few hours by her sister and the police. A few days later, M’s mother and stepfather (who traveled to Arizona just for this) went to the local courthouse and files an Injunction Against Harassment against me, which is essentially a restraining order. They lied all throughout the application, yet the injunction was granted. This did not mean that it was legally binding… yet. The document had to be served to me by a police officer in order for it to go into effect. Since it was a minor restraining order, M’s mother and stepfather would have to pay the police for the delivery of this document. They didn’t do this yet, but left it hanging over me, looming on the horizon. Seeing as I wasn’t legally bound by it, I continued to see M every few days after my work ended, only meeting up in secret for 20-30 minutes at a time. This went on for months, until M’s mother caught wind of us actually communicating. To counter this from continuing, the document was served. I was immediately bound by law not to communicate with M or her stepfather.

When someone speaks up and other people see that they are believed, it gives them the confidence to speak out themselves. That's usually why you get the 'dam bursting' thing because so many people have to hide the abuse they suffered for fear of being punished.

That manifesto is narcissism.txt, goddamn. He ends it by saying he'd be willing to forgive the child he was exploiting for what she put him through. What she put him through was apparently not worshiping the ground he walked on.

I met M at a Japanese anime convention. She was very pretty to me, with a beautiful smile, good facial features, and a curvy figure that, while she had some excess weight she needed to shed in the coming years, still attracted me very much.

this might not be applicable advice given current times but next time you go outside, every sixth woman you see, statistically, is a sexual abuse survivor.

we're talking communities of thousands of thousands of people, and even with not that many women in the community, hundreds of women. this is not abnormal. the fgc, or gaming, or whatever, is not going above and beyond. this is the status quo. the only thing thats changed is that people are feeling confident enough to say it.

When the stuff about Vic Mignogna came out I remember reading about it and being struck by how laissez-fair the entire con scene was even though we're in the Twenty--loving-teens. It really seems like every fan community is a fiefdom onto itself, and while some are careful to ensure vulnerable people are protected that is by no means a requirement, let alone a guarantee.

I can scarcely imagine a better petri dish in which predators could flourish.

DEEP STATE PLOT posted:

Growing up, I had the misfortune of knowing several men in their mid-twenties who were at one time or another in "relationships" with teenage girls. When anyone brought this to their attention, they would all spout some variation on, "hey, she came on to me," like it was their loving catch-phrase. They twisted themselves into knots trying to portray anything even approaching a power equilibrium because they knew that misogyny had created just enough wriggle room for them to evade the consequences of their actions if they sufficiently muddy the waters.

Thankfully, this is changing, slowly. But you still see these guys leap straight into playing this poo poo off as if it's normal relationship drama and a depressing number of people still buy it, even if they wouldn't admit to it publicly in the current social climate.

Every one of these guys has a story to tell about why they are The Exception. They think that some appropriate stew of circumstances will be enough to excuse their crimes and staunch their guilt; if only they could explain their side of the story.

He wants validation, and he'll probably receive it from some small fraction of the community. He'll fixate on that sliver of enablers and tune out everything else.

When I was about 20 me and my housemates had a big house party. It got a bit out of hand and far more people came than we knew. A bunch of underage kids turned up, we chucked them out.

Not because we didn't like them, some lived down the street and were good kids, it was just very clear to us that it was massively inappropriate for them to be here around people drinking and taking drugs. This poo poo isn't hard.

This sky dude is complicit regardless if he knew or not about the grooming. It was his house and he let these kids into an environment that was unsafe for them.
