NPR's got a disturbing story today about an open-mike night routine that went to a seriously skeevy place: [link]

Now tagless for your comfort.

I can't watch the video. The story itself made me cringe and nauseated.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I can't watch the video. The story itself made me cringe and nauseated.

Me too, on both counts.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

I've been in the situation where I just laid down and took it to make it go away. I want to smash them all.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

I'm sort of amazed that the reporter writing the story was surprised that the guy's attitude ("Look what I did [whether it's fictional or not] -- I AM SO COOL for forcing/tricking my way into this woman's room and bed -- and YOU SHOULD THINK I'M COOL, too!!!") is something new/unusual.

Because it struck me as, unfortunately, all too commonplace.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Aargh. Sadly, I can believe in men raping women like that. Naively, however, I can't properly believe in them thinking it's okay to talk (nay, brag) about it in front of strangers that way. Jesus.

Now tagless for your comfort.

The only video I want to see is some Chicago detective interrogating that asshole to get a rape conviction.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Depressing and disgusting, but not surprising.
