basically this was the most over-the-top example imaginable of someone unambiguously farming their own suffering in the attempt to use it to coerce someone else into doing their bidding amazing what just knowing with certainty that people are like that does to your politics

Checking for understanding: So (having googled Keith) a star trek novel author dumped your ex and your ex articulated that as a GROSS INJUSTICE to get you to do what she wanted?

yes, but only as a device toward getting Keith to do what she wanted

wait, so the scheme operated like "tell you about her suffering so you would do stuff so that guy would want to come back to her so she can break up with you and come back to him"?

not the breaking up with me part, we hadn't been together for a long time at that point and were just friends, but using me as a plague carrier, sure see, the rules in the relevant social circles are we care about people who are hurt, so if she hurts enough she gets her way

and dgmw, she was suffering, exactly the same way as if somebody repeatedly pokes themselves in the chest and abdomen with a sharp needle they'll suffer

well, I'm not entirely sure this counts as fake consequences. Claiming smoking is harmless is faking consequences. Claiming sexy pixels/porn cause sexism is faking consequences. This... seems to be something else.

Agree. It is something other than fake consequences, it’s elective suffering. To me the more interesting question than whether
@kradec caused CP’s ex’s suffering is how this cat maintained access to the geocities site generator: http://decandido.net1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

Sorry. From his picture, I thought he would appreciate the implicit empathy for his struggle. From his apology for his website on his website, I thought he would be down with the geocities joke. If not, my bad.

My web site is awful, I freely admit that.

Replying to @KRADeC @chaosprime and
No blocking here. And the geocities joke is totally fair game given how horrendous my site is. Improving it is on the very long list of Shit I Haven't Had Time To Deal With. As for the rest, I'm spectacularly uninterested in discussing my personal life on Twitter. Carry on. :)
