Well that's the thing, very few can ever be 'good enough' by the standards of today. One has to have been abused into a state of constant victimization, that's very difficult to accomplish over the course of a lifetime.




This is an interesting position that seems like it comes from a state of constant victimization

rather than very few ever being 'good enough' by the standards of today

very few are ever actually criticized for their abhorrent positions by the standards of today

you speak as tho there is some impossible standard being held up that no one can get to
but the reality is there is a very basic standard that most people already adhere to and very few are being needed to be uplifted to

Did you not see the painting I posted that he did, it's is a dank ass mountain landscape painting, better than Bob ross. How is that not good?

This is Hitlers



This is a bob ross



Hitlers use of color is more advanced than bob ross, Hitlers is way more intricate and use of complex colors. Bob Ross painting looks elementary comparitivley.

There's a famous quote about never meeting your Idol (with social media it is too easy to "meet" them) so prepare to be disillusioned.  I am also an extreme cynic.  It wouldn't surprise me if Greta Thunberg was playing a part to make a brand for herself and make money.  Now I'm not saying I mind if she makes money incidentally to her work, but that her work was premeditated as a way to make money, a bizzaro Alex Jones if you will.  But like I said I am cynic, human depravity knows no bounds.

So recognize that with what happened to your parents a lot of your talk about this dude being "dad" and the community he ran
likely meant you had a lot more invested than it is possible for me to relate directly to
and would like to reassert that you being willing to share this with us is huge

you mentioned in discord that you want to deny this until you are white in the face
but that you need to stand with women first
and that you adopted that view, and deleted the smilies from the server means more to me than you may realize
because it affirmed my having a safe place to deal with these issues around you -- that is the community you have given me as someone who has been an outcast all her life :heart:

but what really struck me was some of the characteristics of what he said
and am going to actually try to do a sort of compare and contrast with another artist

while we were talking about this all in discord and stuff, Alanis Morisette serendipitously came up in my youtube recommends
and as soon as firing up Hands Clean, immediately remembered it is a song all about grooming
or, rather, about being groomed

Alanis sings about her being groomed and abused from the ages of 14 to 19

worth noting that at the time of her abuse, 14 was technically the legal age of consent in Canada (now 16)
so the illegality of the affair comes out of the relationship she implies
she speaks about the abuser being in a formal position of authority over her, which immediately voids a portion of the law and makes the age of consent 18

it is important to note that Alanis has never named her abuser
the overall lyrics of the song heavily imply it was her producer who put out her first album around the age of 16
and a lot of people in her fanbase jump to accusations of him, but personally feel it important to recognize not to blame someone without an explicit identification from the victim when available


verses are parroting of things her abuser told her, chorus is her
Quote:

[Verse 1]
If it weren't for your maturity, none of this would have happened
If you weren't so wise beyond your years, I would've been able to control myself
If it weren't for my attention, you wouldn't have been successful and if
If it weren't for me, you would never have amounted to very much

[Pre-Chorus]
Ooh, this could be messy
But you don't seem to mind, and
Ooh, don't go telling everybody
And overlook this supposed crime

[Chorus]
Well, fast forward to a few years later
And no one knows except the both of us
And I have honored your request for silence
And you've washed your hands clean of this

[Verse 2]
You're essentially an employee and I like you having to depend on me
You're a kind of my protégé and one day you'll say you learned all you know from me
I know you depend on me like a young thing would to a guardian
I know you sexualize me like a young thing would, and I think I like ya

[Pre-Chorus]
Ooh, this could get messy
But, ooh, you don't seem to mind
Dude, don't go telling everybody
And overlook this supposed crime

[Chorus]
We'll fast forward to a few years later
And no one knows except the both of us
And I've more than honored your request for silence
And you've washed your hands clean of this

[Bridge]
What part of our history's reinvented and under rug swept?
What part of your memory is selective and tends to forget?
What with this distance it seems so obvious?

[Verse 3]
Just make sure you don't tell on me, especially to members of your family
We best keep this to ourselves and not tell any members of our inner posse
I wish I could tell the world cause you're such a pretty thing when you're done up properly
I might want to marry you one day, if you watch that weight and keep your firm body

[Pre-Chorus]
Ooh, this could be messy, and
Ooh, I don't seem to mind
Ooh, don't go telling everybody
And overlook this supposed crime

[Chorus]
We'll fast forward to a few years later
And no one knows except the both of us
And I have honored your request for silence
And you've washed your hands clean of this




the part that resonated most for me with the bassnectar audio
was when she talks about her abuser telling her he might want to marry her one day
akin to lorrin telling the victim that he couldn't take marriage seriously until she was 25-26
a time frame to string the victim along, and a promise of being so special as to "potentially" warrant a monogamous relationship

it chills me to think of just how many girls her age he may have fed that narrative to, bang now with no commitments but you are oh so special

back to Alanis tho
her not naming her abuser gives me a double-edged respect and frustration
the lack of naming makes the song accessible to others who have gone through manipulation and abuse
and that is a hugely empowering thing, and think that is the actual reason she keeps it this way

but it reflects on another issue with grooming
it is often very difficult for victims to get to a headspace where they want to speak of the experience at all
let alone do something to hurt the abuser in instances of grooming
because there was so much uplifting and affirmations of themselves at the hands of the abuser
that there is a risk of it all having been made up and not having anything to fall back on to
this is especially embraced in the first line of the song "If it weren't for your maturity, none of this would have happened"
she was 14 years old, with an older man telling her that his attraction to her was her "fault" due to her "maturity"

have known other women who were involved with men decades older than them at that age
and they speak of the experience with a confidence
that makes me want to say "wow you really internalized the manipultion"
because they treat having been in that relationship as a factual indicator that they have been mature from a young age
because that is what they were told over and over to justify playing with an old man's junk

and this plays back into my concerns that one recording is potentially indicative of a pattern of abuse
since he also seems to have a method of delivery set up for it as well

so with what you supplied in discord with regards to Lorin's response to the situation
really felt it of value to this topic to be able to highlight contrasts between his response and that of another

so Lorin made a statement that the community has been dissecting



and while critical of his statement with regards to "rumours" compared to what has been available for me to listen to
would instead like to highlight the incredibly positive response on his part
none of the above excuses what he has potentially done
but they are really big steps to mitigating damage done to individuals
and to extend in to helping people not impacted by him directly but impacted by similar circumstances

forgiveness and a sense of balance can only really be defined by the victims of the actions
but it is also not my place to pass judgement or push for more than what they feel is sufficient

but would like to contrast this with Rowling's recent outbursts and actions


J.K. Rowling's statements and doubling down on them resulted in other artists raising awareness for the issues she spoke against
but this is certainly not the same thing as recognizing actions as hurting people and seeking to make ammends
she has actively opposed further efforts to educate her or foster empathy for those she hurts
and continues to use her position of disproportionate power to punch down on a minority

it is my hope that history properly recognizes such responses as much so as the initial transgressions
an individual's growth or lack thereof is important -- as much as prison is a corrupt and heinous system
the theory of rehabilitating rather than eliminating members of society is sound
and rehabilitation is a holistic process that covers a lot of things beyond just the transgressive behaviour

I think its weird people who get passes. Mark Wahlberg committed unprovoked racial attacks on numerous minorities and no ever mentions it, Michael Richards aka Kramer dropped some N bombs on hecklers and never worked again.

I watch Roman Polanski movies and he drugged and raped a child, not even any maybe like MJ, he fucking did it. So it feels hypocritical of me not to watch a racist guys movies like Mel Gibson, or James Woods just because they say bigoted shit. 

Also I kind of make the dead vs alive distinction, reading Lovecraft isn't making him rich as he's long dead, whereas buying Harry Potter makes JK even more money.

Its that Celebrity Privileges'. Its like White Privilege but much more blatant. Harvey Weinstein was guilty of it then he finally got caught and his privilage was done-for.

When you are rich, famous and an artist, you have the privilege to bend the rules of Ethics. But they eventually get in trouble later down the road....and its happening more and more it seems.

“The establishment” determines whether or not a lot of these people catch heat over shit they may or may not have said..  good little lap dogs get away with a whole lot more than ones who may struggle with sit/stay/roll over..
