Straw man

When countless women are pissed off with a man and the man repeatedly implies they are scorned, jealous crazies who are upset because he didn’t wanna fuck them?

That should be a red flag. What it shouldn’t be is an excuse to fawn over or white knight the man in question. Perfect example of internalised misogyny.

Speaking for myself, I did not wanna take a ride on EROS’ pixel dick. I knew things about him fairly early on that made him a no-go zone for flirting, let alone sexting. I also took his comments about not wanting to be sexualised to heart. No matter that his actions and words often belied those comments, if someone says they don’t want to be sexualised, I’m gonna try to respect that.

As for jealousy? Jealous of who, exactly? I have countless examples of him being the jealous one but sure, go off. We all wanted his dick and couldn’t have it so we hate him for it now.

Every single time a bunch of his patrons leave or are booted, there’s a wild flurry of announcements or speeches where he claims that the people who are gone simply didn’t respect his boundaries. Sex work is always brought up, the implication being that those who have left are puritans who have no respect for those in the sex work industry. Jealousy is raised. The idea that we wanted something from him that we were not entitled to. The self deprecation is laid on thick. He’s just a regular guy, and not even a good one. A really shit one, in fact. Has never claimed otherwise. He’s just trying to do good. To be better.

Then, of course, everyone runs around spreading the good word on social media.
“Blah blah boundaries blah blah!”
“Blah blah noone owes you shit!! BLAAAAHHHH”

Stop and think about it for a moment.
This is not about his boundaries being crossed. It’s not about SW or jealousy. Oh, he wants you to think that, sure.

People are told those who left are the unreasonable ones.

Very adult. Very wise.
Entirely hypocritical.

As are the people fervently agreeing with him, all while still following me and my friends on social media. You know, people who have left and are being lumped into the “jealous rejected women” category thanks to his vague, manipulative pontificating.

It happens every. Single. Time.

Think about it.
