"Can I rape you anally"

Feb 06, 2007 23:53

So I am watching "To Catch a Predator" on the web. Which is convenient. I am not sure how to feel about this. On one hand it is probably a valuable tool in preventing a lot of pedophilia-fueled meetings. At the same time, it would seem like this would be counter-productive in rehabilitation of criminals. Broadcasting these stings on a national ( Read more... )

I lost it when his screen name was revealed. But wasn't it "I Want to Rape you Anally"?

I don't understand the charges, really. Because the decoys (both at the homes and online) are not underage. It seems like they are criminalizing fantasy.

My friend is active in BDSM chatrooms, and says that underage fantasy is a staple. I wonder if the men who flee are fleeing because they find out that the girl they are meeting is ACTUALLY (in their perception) underage, when all they meant for was to "rape you anally" an of-age woman in pigtails and training bra.

Well, I don't know the exact process they go through, if they are going into the Fall Out Boy chatroom and doing this, then I could see a definite problem. If it's a chatroom like you said, then I'd be more inclined to give sympathy.

The japanese have far more horribly depraved porn (though we're getting there! GO USA!) and their rape rates are also far lower. So perhaps there is something to be said for 'getting it out of the system'. I'm basing that off of something I read like 8 years ago, though. Some may call it inaccurate, I call it political know-how.

How do you know the name of that chatroom? Or was that some creativity on your part?

I guess I just don't see the crime. I'm not a big fan on prosecuting intent. And in this case it's not even that...because the decoy is of age.

Lame.

Good show though. Wish they had more rednecks. Like COPS.

I am just guessing that all the underage tail probably hangs out in chatrooms devoted to bands I find pretentious but still know the name of.

I understand your point. I pretty much agree. But I am still torn between the part of me that says "dude was trying to fuck a 12 year old". And I mean, they are seemingly trying to follow through on the thought, which is wear it takes the jump from bad thoughts to messing with a child's life. My head hurts from thinking about things now.

What COPS is to rednecks, To Catch a Predator is to college-age programmers. And maybe successful doctors.
