Literary Clusterfucks 2013

it's difficult to square the seemingly paradoxical notions that a person can be a victim of abuse/oppression/etc and their behavior can only be understood in that context and then, as we so often do in the very next breath, assert that they are personally responsible for their own actions regardless of the larger determinative context. but I think that's exactly the kind of complex thinking these kinds of situations ask of us. You can try to be attentive to both.

solid post

what a strange license plate

Contradicting oneself and acting erratically are not qualities to be cherished and encouraged. They are part of the damage inflicted by the abuse. Pointing these out as undesirable behavior is not the same as taking sides against a victim. It is something they need to see, acknowledge and heal from. They are part of the pathology of abuse, not symptoms of a lack of moral fiber. But that doesn't make them good, or right, or even neutral qualities.

WHY DO PPL CARE SO MUCH IF SHE IS GOOD OR BAD OR NEUTRAL JESUS CHRIST stop needing to judge the situation that doesn't involve you for like ONE SECOND. Speculating and wondering what's happening behind the scenes and reading her writing, even not LIKING her writing, fine, but the emphasis on reaching a definitive judgement is SO WEIRD and all lofty like.

i've only speculated in this thread i have no inside information

Why are Sociopaths Considered Attractive | The Body Language Attraction...

we ard all sexperts

http://thebodylanguageattraction.com/why-are-sociopaths-considered-attractive/

Male sociopaths are successful with women because they readily know how to charm and attract women as if they are the masters of psychology of attraction. Indeed, they appear open and friendly to women from the start which makes them likable. They can make a few compliments which can make a lady feel pretty good. They will also appear appropriate and stylish to women – always smartly dressed and organized in appearance or presentation.

The typical sociopath has a character trait that so many men lack, CONFIDENCE. Nearly every male in the world that suffers from their own psychological problems related to never being able to find a female to care for them.

what

WHY DO PPL CARE SO MUCH IF SHE IS GOOD OR BAD OR NEUTRAL

Her specific actions can be discussed without making universal and absolute judgements about her moral worth, can't they?

there's usually a point I reach in these obsessive/manic argument threads where I think "maybe I ought to give my old therapist a call"

Nearly every male in the world that suffers from their own psychological problems related to never being able to find a female to care for them.

If this sentence even made sense it would be hilarious.

mordy, i can't imagine why you would post anything about sociopaths unless it's a bizarre attempt to pathologize people who commit abuse

hey i gotta run, but it's been unreal.

#dichotomyisnotalie

I keep trying to read this in a way that makes it rhyme

with "totally," right? Me too.

or actually I guess it would be more logical to just have it rhyme with "dichotomy"

#mydickisnotalie by my dick

i just want to say that although i dont think everything mordys said itt is otm i sympathize w/him, feel like hes being a lil bit attacked w some fuzzy logic, tho tbf hes done some of that himself too

okay lol AP

HAHAHAHA

this thread is long. do i need to read it? kinda passed me by...

isn't there still supposed to be a big gawker reveal-all article coming or was that a joke. I am torn between wanting to read it and wanting to just take some hallucenogenics and zone the fuck out of life right now.

i'm still waiting for the ghetto hikes expose!

scot everyone is mad and we didnt really get anywhere and its a p depressing horrible story w no resolution or even dependable facts, so idk let yr conscience guide you

conscience or "con science"? makes you think.

otm

dichotomy or "o my dick hot"

the literary clusterfuck is still a clustefuck, both out in the world and here at home on ilx

and for the record, much as I haven't agreed with a lot of mordy's stance itt, I do think Lagoon's kinda otm
