[Serious] PSA: Rape Apologetics
#31
RE: PSA: Rape Apologetics
He joined another atheist forum (that I am a member of) many months ago, and got biffed for preaching by an admin. He disappeared so I thought maybe he had been banned. But he just "discovered" that he's a member over there and is making a nuisance of himself already. His stuff will likely end up in the "Dump Pile of Crazy Troll Posts".  Hehe

The banning is most likely a mere fortification for his beliefs: they banned me because they couldn't handle the truth.

I think it bothers him quite a bit. He's been here today under another name.

Perhaps this is the only place he hasn't been kicked out of...until now.

I would suggest a captcha for personality disorders, like identify the picture with other people's perspectives.  But that could seriously limit content.

We all saw enough to know the guy's a whack job.  Rattle his cage and he barks for days.

I wouldn't doubt it and I care not.

Drich's biggest sin was his contention that Cosby's drug and rape victims were not really victims because they should have known what they were getting into.  That is a disgusting point of view, but would probably be more prevalent if this discussion were taking place in the 70s or 80s.

People won't just change their views because we ban them.

No, they won’t. But members of the forum who are survivors of sexual assault shouldn’t have to be subjected to his harmful rhetoric.

That’s a slippery slope when one of the main reasons I see in a lot of intros on this forum is trauma from religious guilt and fear. Replace sexual assault with religion and that would make a case for having no believers on the forums.

Being religious obviously isn't a reason to be excluded from this forum and never has been.

I’m aware it hasn’t been, I was just remarking on the slipperiness of said slope.

Looking back over your remarks it seems you may think Drich's comments should have been allowed. The topic of rape apologetics has been coming up more frequently on the forum in the last few months...should we have continued to let it build?

How do you think things should have been handled? You aren't the only one here who seems to think the topic should be given a pass.
