Whooole lotta people in these comments defending the guy who produced and shared Child Exploitation Material. “She shouldn’t have resorted to violence, there were other options” “She shouldn’t have responded to bullying with physical assault” My favourite: “it was made with AI, so it’s not really child porn”
Why is a 13 year old girl being asked to act with the calm sensibility of an adult in this situation, but no one is asking why a 13 year old boy thought it was okay to sexually harass his classmate? If she should have known better, he bloody should have too.
While I agree that jumping to violence can sometimes be the wrong answer, there are at least two cases where you just gotta remind people that polite society has its limits: nazis, and people who are actively sexually assaulting a child. This person was openly sharing sexually explicit material of her with others in front of her. That is sexual assault under Louisiana law. And if you think asking a predator nicely to please stop ever works, you’re a naive fool.
I don't blame that girl one bit for hitting him. In fact, I hope she used her nails. Some people simply have no sense of boundaries until they receive percussive instruction.
In fairness, he "was charged with ten counts of unlawful dissemination of images created by artificial intelligence", so it's not like he was given a free pass or anything.
She's on the Internet for life. I hope he enjoys registering as a sex offender.
He absolutely should not be on the sex offense registry for doing something stupid at 13.
What about 14? Is it ok then?
Hard disagree - he needs to be punished for sure, but if boys are going to be marked as sexual predators without actually touching someone, or exposing his genitals or some shit like that; they'll start touching people physically and exposing their genitals since; "I guess the penalty is the same anyway..."
She got expelled for doing something stupid at 13. Are they the same?
Check this dude's hard drives
Until at least 18 he should be. Making deep fake porn in this day and age is not that big of a deal. Sharing it with classmates is seriously sick behavior. He sounds like an aspiring rapist and needs a serious wake up call.
Uhhh.... ok.... You're entitled to your opinion. But I feel confident that the rest of us who doesn't make deep fake sexual images of others would disagree with you. It is a big deal.
I think they meant. "...not that big a deal" as "it's really easy to do" - based on the rest of their comment.
Only once she hit him.
Im a firm believer that society would be better if everyone had a punch card. You get to punch one person in the mouth every 6 months. You will not be arrested, fined, fired, chastised or anything. Hefty fines apply to any retaliation outside of reciprocal punch carding. Women are allowed a small fist pack if striking a larger man.
I guarantee you people will start treating each other better if you can get popped in the mouth. That boy is never gonna do that shit again I promise you. Core memory unlocked.
Fuck the punch card, if you're an asshole you should deal with the consequences. Getting punched in the face is the least of what should be dealt with.
When I worked on the help desk I used to suggest to my boss that we should get one free "go off on a caller" per month and that it would do wonders for morale. He did not agree with me.
I have actually thought quite a lot about this lol, and I kinda agree with you, violence should never be encouraged, but humans evolved to fear getting punched in the face or being eaten alive by a wild animal, not formal and polite warnings and fine haha, again not trying to make any point but just smthng i find interesting
"violence should never be encouraged" is a total bot thing to say. look at every major revolution throughout history. "violence is never the answer" is propaganda
Welp there is a diff between not encouraging violence and saying violence should never be used in any circumstances, you are right that major revolutions and resistance always have an element of violence in them, thats a different thing
But in a normal everyday life resorting to violence should be the last resort, its unpredictable, not just (what if your bully is stronger than u?) and undermines rule of law, I was replying in the context of the comment abt having a punch card to be used every 6 months, not in context of resistance or revolutions, sorry if the distinction was not understandable
yeah i thought about that after making the comment, solid points
'How I met your mother''s SLAP Bet was amazing.
Hopefully you don't get picked by Deonte Wilder. Kinda a death sentence for anyone that ~~isn't trained~~ isn't able to defend themselves.
I'm convinced that kids starting to get in so much trouble for fighting (really started up about 30 years ago) is why so many people have grown up being little assholes. No one grew up learning consequences for being a dick.
I'm flabbergasted that the school wouldn't let her call her parents. I don't see how they have the right to do that without parental permission, not matter the reason why. But that supports violence. She tried what she was taught to do. The adults in the building failed. So she stood up for herself.
We have fists for a reason. And in this case, I believe it's justified.
I can only be so harsh on the boy. He is a child as well. And while he should be held accountable for the sexual assault, saying he is sexually abusing a child makes it sound like he's some pedophile. It's normal a 13 year old would be attracted to another 13 year old.
The fuck? Even in nature, plenty of animals have social punishment behaviors other than killing.
