the simplest message in the universe is "don't use your status for sexual gratification"
oh look at me ive had a comic book sold in shops i think i must be god's chosen vessel for the intimate affections of young people
if you've got entertainment industry cache—if you're "a creator" or if you "could get someone in" or etc, and dont lie—you have to treat sex and dating like a Good Girl would. Just say no. Avoid it. Wait for the One (the One is over 25)
And if you even think the merest whisper of the word "groupie" you have to wait one extra year and seek out literature on the gross entitlement of white masculinity.
You should be afraid of hurting people, because hurting people is possible and if you avoid—because you're afraid to do—things that hurt people then PEROPLE GET HURT LESS.
cameron stewart can eat rocks and so can all the other guys who do this pretending they have no idea that without their brand glamour they'd just be a regular old man
including warren ellis, apparently! fuck you and fuck your dog!
OK this is a note that comes from a memory of a previous caught-out humpty's self-defence—if you're in the power role—if you're the established one, older, etc—you can't just "let" people at you.
Literally, appropriate sexual ettiquette for cool guy strongdick man-men has to include the word "no." Sometimes YOU have to say no. You have to know when YOU cannot go further IN GOOD CONSCIENCE. You do not have plausible deniability. You have responsibility.
You have to stop yourself from being a predator, that's simple, and some of you won't because you've got shitty souls and don't care. But some of you will remember that you have to try. I'm there, in your mind, watching you choose.
This was about men specifically because men had just been named and because the narratives in place that allow men in great number to lead themselves down wicked roads are obvious. To address women’s predatory action would take a different thread
