I'm no longer allowed to trend because I'm "causing drama". People who support what has happened can still go K&P but anyone speaking out against it can not.
*********************************************************************************
I want you to do something for me.
Humour me.
Close your eyes.
No, really...go ahead and do it.
Imagine you're having a great day doing all the things you like to do with your time. You're outside, maybe. Strolling down the street.
You're minding your own business.
You turn the corner and in front of you is an 8 year old child.
He asks naively "Do you think I'm hot?"
Before you can answer him...to tell him he should go home and not talk to strangers, a young woman pipes up:
"Awwwww. So cute! He wants to know if he's hot! His name is So and so and you can find him on facebook. Everybody look!"
And then, things spin wretchedly out of control.
A man, nearing middle age, begins to mock the little boy.
He repeats "Am I hot" several times. He puts on vocal intonations making sure you know that he's not supporting the question or asking for validation.
It's outright mockery.
He laughs, quite pleased with his witty impression of this small child who...again...shouldn't have been talking to strangers, but was in no way prepared to take on the actions of an adult who clearly knew better.
The man then announces to a crowd that had formed that the child, So and So, could be found in a certain place and by name.
The crowd, made up of more adults who should know better then advance on the child.
Leering.
Drooling.
Yelling sexual epithets.
Making sexual suggestions.
Telling the child he should drink bleach...faggot.
Following him from place to place like he has no right to not be swarmed by a crowd.
And through it all, everyone laughs. They're having a great old time.
What would you do?
What you just imagined was pretty much the same thing that the owner of this website and many of the members engaged in the other day. The only thing is, it wasn't on a sunny street corner. It was here.
In the darkest recesses of the internet.
Would you turn away, seeing a group of adults torment a child for sport?
Or would you do something?
Would you act?
Would you blame the little boy?
Or would you expect the adults involved to know better and not do it in the first place?
Would you hurl accusations at someone who tried to help the boy and get him to safety?
Or would you do everything in your power to help?
I'm disgusted.
I'm angry at myself that I only saved so much of this atrocity that I witnessed, but happened at such speed that documenting it and trying to help was impossible to do at the same time.
I'm angry at myself that all I can do is repeat that it's not right.
I don't care that the middle aged man was doing it for lulz.
I don't care that the girl thought it was "cute".
And I certainly don't give a flying fuck in space that the justification to this heinous act against a child *on an adult website that doesn't allow imagery of children at all* is that he shouldn't have put himself in harm's way.
That maybe he and his parents will know better next time.
Like they're doing a public service
I don't care that people are worried that this might destroy this website.
Actually, I kind of hope it does.
I don't care that people are worried that the people who have stepped up to right this wrong are being "indiscreet".
There is no expectation of discretion when you involve a child in your malicious kinks for shits and giggles.
There is no expectation for mercy from the court of public opinion if you support this.
And there's no saving yourself from what has been captured. And shared. And is being scrutinized right now.
If you were so concerned about what this is doing to the reputation of "good people", you'd be asking how the child is doing. Or how the parents are doing. Or how you could help.
But no.
You wring your hands and worry that you won't be able to log into fetlife anymore and you might have to meet real people...yanno...outside your mom's basement.
You worry you'll be exposed for the heartless and soulless shells you really are.
I worry about the child.
I pity you.
And I hope everyone gets exactly what karma will bring them.
I'm no longer allowed to trend because I'm "causing drama". People who support what has happened can still go K&P but anyone speaking out against it can not.
