Fetish and reputation

My initial reaction to the Ghomeshi's Facebook post was chances are good he wasn't fired simply for having an unconvential sex life, not in this day & age. If (IF) the accusations against him prove to be true, his firing might stand legally.

 

It's really hard to know how to take it. He could be telling the honest truth; he could be an abuser and trying to cover it up; he could also be telling what he thinks is the honest truth and have coerced partners into going along with something that they were not OK with.

 

As someone with no horse in this race, it seems just really odd that a couple of women, out of the blue, would make up similar stories about at best a low level celeb. The unfortunate thing is they didn't go to the police first. This could be a smear campaign of sorts, but why? Who gains?

 

It's nine women now, with three that are speaking to the police.

 

I didn't quite say that right then, I mean the idea that they were just making this up doesn't seem logical.

 

That is a damn shame. I am very disappointed in him.

 

Wow, I'm gone for a month or two and the legendary infamous mixedmedia returns in the very first thread i read. People talked like you were gone for good.

Back on topic though, I've thought about this subject many times before, ever since I discovered the existence of online subcultures and fetishes and such - I always wonder if the macho conservative dudes I know in the military might be secretly gay/bi or whatever, or if the stoic super-clean housewives I meet have some weird fetish. I think I've gotten used to the idea at this point; as long as it was something that really didn't affect my life, then it's just a detail of someone else' life - unless we share the fetish, then we could either hook up if said person is single/female, or else maybe pool knowledge of online communities and resources.

 

Post was from a year ago, dude. MM split shortly thereafter. Unfortunately for all of us.

 

No, no, she really did post in the Sex Times thread a week ago. Startled me, too.

 

OMG, really?! A return of mixedmedia?! Could we be so fortunate?

 

Oh right, for some reason my brain saw that it was posted in December 2013 and registered that as "recently..." But that was almost a year ago now that I think about it... I can't believe 2014 is almost over already!

Oh well, hopefully Street Pattern's right and she is indeed back! The more the merrier!

 

oh, you people, your flattery will get you nowhere with me.
but your sextalk might.
