Notch Tweets Rage Over Minecraft Party Sexual Assault

[duchaked]

ugh whenever this crap happens at parties it's all I can do to just whisk my female friends away from the situation without also clocking the offending guys' jaws off

I'm part Asian lol and this guy is pathetic beyond imagination

 

[Zaik]

lol, this sounds like something you would see in some sort of high school drama tv show.

Srsly though, I find it interesting that this claim is basically being taken as gospel despite there being no corroborating evidence available at all. It's like a bizarro version of the 50s where instead of sexual assault being a joke, you automatically go to jail(only if you're male though) without trial because someone claims you did something.

Then again, I expect nothing less from you Escapist. Keep white knighting it up.

Who cares what she said?
You're just as incorrect if that's the case because you just said "I will not suffer like that because I don't put stock into my genitalia".

She said I will absolutely be traumatized. She didn't say probably. She didn't say most likely. She said that I absolutely will.

Just to back this train up.

]Coming from someone that has fucking been a victim you have no idea what you're talking about. The emotion pain and the upset isn't even something you can comprehend without going through it.

Just stop.

And, like I said, you have no idea what you're talking about. You're just pulling this out of the air when you admittedly have zero experience with them.

She is absolutely not saying anything of the sort, she's just calling you out on your bullshit about how you don't have anything to back up what you're saying and you're purely theorizing on how you would react.
You're welcome to hold your opinion but when someone who has clearly had some involvement with such a terrible act says "You have no idea what it's like until it happens" it kind of overrides your "I guess I'd be ok because I don't value my junk".

You literally shoe horned in what you wanted to read out of those posts.

Ok, who did not see this shitstorm coming?
Seriously, this topic devolving into what is has become was visible from miles away.

I'm pretty aware of how annoyingly white knighty I'm sounding right now, I do think the situation in the OP was pretty funny though. Woman should have just smacked him in the dick and been done with it, but hey not everyone can handle shit I guess.

 

[Zombie_Moogle]

Wow, lots I could say, but I'll just post this:

Notch, bring the thunder.
He's a guy with a lot of pull in this community. When he speaks, people listen. Not to mention he's got the resources & capital to back it up. He almost seems more pissed that the actual victim, & for that I have even more respect for the man than before.
Plus, this was PAX. I don't think I need to remind anyone here of how swift & brutal Jerry Holkins & Mike Krahulik can be when provoked, just ask Paul Christoforo; They destroyed his business & turned him into an industry pariah for being a dick in an email.

Oh lord, this thread devolved quickly...

Coming from someone that has fucking been a victim you have no idea what you're talking about. The emotion pain and the upset isn't even something you can comprehend without going through it.

Just stop.

I think you don't understand one simple concept: I'm not you.

For sexual assault, I would not give a shit in the vast majority of situations, and I know that for a fact.

For rape, I said that I HONESTLY DON'T SEE MYSELF being traumatized in most non-painful situations. Maybe I'd be wrong. There's only one way to know for sure. What I do know is that some victims of rape walk away emotionally pretty much fine, while others like you think that it is unable to comprehend, with everything in between.

Maybe YOU personally suffer extreme emotional pain, but to say I would suffer the same is insulting, and to say that the pain is incomprehensible is unfounded (and insulting to other victims that weren't harmed emotionally to your extent). I've been through a lot of nasty shit, and I see little that could compare emotionally for myself. As in, for me. Not you. Not him. Not them. Me.

And, like I said, you have no idea what you're talking about. You're just pulling this out of the air when you admittedly have zero experience with them.

You're ignoring what I said. You are an insult to other victims with your presumption that I would suffer like you would, or that all emotional pain is equal.

I'll repeat this: I don't hold much stock in my sexual organs. I already clarified that I see no real distinction outside of society's forced distinction between being forced to grab a creepy dude's arm and my hand being forced into creepy dude's crotch, so what makes you think that I'd be bothered by being forced to penetrate someone, even if it was unwilling, so long as it was painless?

You may as well be commenting on the flavour of the moon, for all the authority you have on the subject.

Kinda like how you have no authority on saying that he does or does not know what he is talking about and describing himself and not other people?
Not to sound like an ass here, but stop a moment, take a deep breath and reread his last posts. Sounds like you are getting riled up due to how the topic touches close to home, which is understandable and all, but in doing so, you are ignoring their post.

He's presuming to know what something is like when he has no way of even fathoming it. How he thinks he feels has no bearing on reality. You can think and imagine all you want, but if you don't have the experience, your words are hollow and empty.

Your experience is not universal, get over yourself.

Don't try it. Nothing can shake her from the mighty high horse she rides.

Oh don't worry I'm done with this. It's just insulting that because of one person's experience with sexual assault and how traumatized they were we're all supposed to feel that way. Oh you've experienced it? That's nice well I don't need to give you any dirty details about what I've been through just because I have anonymity on the fucking interwebz /endrant.

She should have right-angled that creeper and removed him from the gene-pool. Idiots like him are what give the conventions black eyes.

Notch, Good on ya! Find out the Guard that did nothing and this Creeper if possible and drop em into the nearest blocks of Lava.... or court of law, whichever is easiest to find at the time.

 

[esperandote]

That made me angry, I wish I witnessed that to kick the guys face.

 

[Redlin5_v1legacy]

When I go somewhere to have fun I don't want people grabbing at me and saying such creepy stuff. No wonder Notch is furious. I feel sorry for the girl. :/

 

[BehattedWanderer]

Get them. Get both culpable parties. Get the jerk who did it, and get the guard who dismissed it as nothing. This needs to be taken more seriously. Get them. Mike, Jerry, Notch, do whatever you guys need to do--find them.

inb4 "It was her fault", which seems to happen every time on this site.

 

[BrunDeign]

All these people getting pissed about the guy (the one with the black-face icon) laughing at the ridiculousness of the scenario is really idiotic. I can only wonder how many of them found prison rape jokes in the media HILARIOUS when they were still relatively common. Of course now any that I accuse will just say "THOSE ARE TERRIBLE JOKES" while they fondly remember that good one with the "Big Ben" character.

On the subject at hand - I hope the guy gets caught and that this is a learning experience for her so that next time (God forbid it happens again to her) she'll just nip it at the bud and get the next sap arrested.

 

[The Lugz]

Why do I bother entering sexual assault threads when I know I'm going to be greeted with classy gentlemen such as this guy?

the guy's a low post counter with a stereotypical pic and Facebook as a badge i wouldn't take anything he says seriously and hopefully he wont last long
he's probably pushing the typical guy response angle because that's what social nubs do
no point raging over it, it just amuses them more

 

[IamLEAM1983]

I'm glad the guy didn't push harder and I'm seriously glad she got out okay, all things considered - but the perp is one sad individual. If the only way you have to try and leverage some awkward attention from the fairer sex is to insistently bring the conversation into the subject of sexual preferences, you've got a problem.

Girls don't give a shit about the size of your dick. We're just told by macho types or male-oriented entertainment circles that "easy girls" who will actually do exist. You want out with a nice girl? Spit-shine your brain and show her how clever and insightful you can be. Empathize with her. Have casual fun with her. Broaden your interests to include her own. Don't just come up to a girl and more or less ask her if by her estimates, it looks like you have the capacity to give good cock.

That's maybe good enough for a cheap XTube video produced on a ten year-old DV Cam with a scenario written on a napkin, but it won't cut it in real life.

Coming from someone that has fucking been a victim you have no idea what you're talking about. The emotion pain and the upset isn't even something you can comprehend without going through it.

Aw cmon, World. Cmon Escapist. Every time you show me a nice woman (no men so far) it turns out they've been sexually assaulted in some way. It's really depressing me now.

I should stop coming in these threads and learning this stuff about people. Not healthy for optimists.

 

[Easton Dark]

For a second I honestly thought you were suggesting something like "Damn, she was nice, but looks like she's been damaged." I just about hit the fucking roof XD

Woah no no no no. It just depresses me. Bad things happen to nice people.

Makes me want to be a super hero, y'know. I'm going to go roll around in some radiation.
