      If part of the point of hashing out these tales in public is to warn people about creepers, should this convo re: Merek be spun off to a so-titled post of its own?

        @Bessarion my first job out of college was managing a group home for adults with cognitive disabilities. It is really important to not infantize adults. Just because someone needs that level of care does not mean that they don’t have sexual feelings and cannot act out sexually. The reality is that I did have to do a lot of coordination with other habilitation counselors as well as occupation folks and also monitor in house with 2 of my guys in particular that struggled with appropriate behavior. And we did not have internet!

        I would never dismiss someone capacity to be invasive and inappropriate in sexual interest and communication because they live in an adult group home. Many adults are interested in sex/sexuality is important/they have drive. Just because someone has cognitive or emotional impairments doesn’t mean that they don’t.

        And it is very very important that we don’t say to people who have been encroached on that they should tolerate it more because of the person targeting them has a certain life circumstance. Or are they sure that person is capable of it.

          Merek wasn’t enabled on Aoa. If anything he was belittled and ignored. I don’t know about him being a sex pest there or other places.

            Honestly? From my brief skim of that vague MSB discussion, from three years ago about an event that happened over a year before that, it seems that he had a rather inappropriate request, was rejected, and respected that boundary.

            So perhaps we can talk about something more recent, and less vague?

              throws some red meat, to get things back on track!

              AoA staff just wiped the nom counts of most of the banned players, so that Hadrix & Co can bask in the glory of being best. They must feel so proud of themselves.

              (The point being the players that were ousted were the game’s best, with the nom counts that went along with that).

              Suck it, aoa. You’re a dying game.

                    Yeah, they also demonstrate that Star Wars is only really good when an unsung woman (and presumably a team under her direction) did a bunch of work in editing because the men weren’t that great at writing.

                      It’s worth noting that ONLY the people who were on the noms list had their noms wiped. They aren’t even hiding it well lol

                      Before:
                      75d97cef-2165-470d-9009-ebfe187c7a14-image.png

                      After:
                      c903f883-1044-49bb-a8ce-846792454990-image.png

                      ALSO the guy that they were so proud of banning was still on the noms board until this. So, this “banning policy that has always been there” (which magically was enacted to ban everyone suspected of involvement or guilty of checks notes being angry that this harassment occurred) didn’t apply to David Ironsides - who was sending people sexual images a YEAR AGO - until they pulled this.

                      They were quicker to take action against the staffer who moved against predators than they were the actual predators. They were quicker to take action against people who said “uhhhh this seriously happened and y’all didn’t care???” or who were simply ASSOCIATED with the people who moved against predators than they were the predators.

                      So much for “Standard procedure”.

                        @Drowsy That this is called “Cujo’s Cup” – the jokes are writing themselves.

                        I wish you would.

                            This is more the angle I was thinking about ‘cup’. But, you know, that’s the angle I’m always thinking.

                                  @mietze I was not implying that he wasn’t capable of being sexually inappropriate, but rather that given my own experience with him, it felt out of character and the commentary felt like punching down. I have since been corrected in my understanding.

                                  I am/was tek. If this means something to you, do as you see fit with this knowledge.

                                    Perhaps the default assumption, in relation to instances of sexual abuse, should not be “bitches be lying” or “bitches be mistaken” when it’s brought up, even if an individual personally did not experience it. Can we perhaps not do that? Fucking please?

                                        @IoleRae Yeah, that was my bad and it’s not cool. I genuinely thought they were mixing people up, and even if that was the case, I shouldn’t have said anything unless I knew for sure that they weren’t.

                                            You’re not wrong. Each nom level had a description, and Cujo’s Cup said something like “Think about it” as its description.
