    Maybe it’s just the coffee hittin different this morning or that this post was underneath the goblin titty post but my take away here is that our stereotype of molesters and rapists being unattractive social outcasts who have to turn to a coercive dynamic to get human interaction is just dead wrong.

    What even causes people to behave like this?

      I think they feel like anyone equal to them is too threatening. Its like with the epstein express. All these billionaires who could be fucking supermodels instead are getting with 13 year olds. Because of their money they get whatever they want from anyone without considering anyone but themselves. They become used to it. And anything else starts to feel threatening and unauthentic.

      Being in an intimate setting with someone is an intense experience. Sex often times feels more real than the rest of life. Our insecurities and subconscious whatevers love to come out. Experiencing all of that with an equally developed person is intimidating and difficult. Some people just aren’t up to the challenge. All they want to consider is what they want, so they seek out the vulnerable people they can take from.

      Take a conservative whose entire ideology hinges on their right to take what they want from people who are beneath them. The idea that they can’t have whatever they can take is threatening. I think from this angle it feels a lot less surprising. This is a pretty white conservative woman who is used to getting whatever they want. That will turn them into a threat to others over time.
