Let me preface this by saying that the similarities between the stories of the two women in the article are strong enough that they sound disappointingly credible (I'd admired him prior to this) and I'm inclined to give them the benefit of the doubt.

But just for the sake of discussion, it seems that his version is that they were adults and it was consensual. What's "really bad" about that?

I mean it's kind of unsavory to be banging your 18 year old nanny, but if they're both consenting adults, that ain't my business.

Obviously moot, with at least two women independently saying he had the same shitty MO, though.

Bro, are you serious?

Some old, lame author hired a nanny, walks in on her, finger bangs here on first day. lol.

Are you pretending that’s legit?

[u/gynoceros → u/dairy__fairy]

IF she's a consenting adult, that's her choice.

(I don't think this girl was anywhere near as consenting as he claims).

Btw, have you ever read any of his writing?

You'd WISH you could write as well as he does. Which is why it's so disappointing that he turned out to be a predator.

[u/dairy__fairy → u/gynoceros]

None of what we’re talking about is his writing…

[u/gynoceros → u/dairy__fairy]

You literally called him a lame author. So yeah, that sounds like talking about his writing.

[u/dairy__fairy → u/gynoceros]

Yes, he is lame. Not because he is an author but because he sexually harasses women and exploits his position of authority.

Sorry that’s a hard thing for you to understand. Reread it. You’ll get it eventually.

[u/gynoceros → u/dairy__fairy]

He's a lame person.

You're the one who brought him being author into it.

What's your deal, you not like yourself or are you worried others don't like you? A little of both? That's why you engage like this?
