Drama / Re: Plastiware was arrested for child research

« on: January 19, 2023, 11:02:27 PM »

It really doesn't.

I'm not proud of it, but children were among the images of nudists and I probably should have been more clear about that.  This is why I made it very clear that this was not an okay thing.  Still, I do not believe that my arrest, conviction, and sentence were fair given the circumstances.  Regardless, I had some unresolved issues that I'm glad have been straightended out.  Not really an apology so much as a clarification as to where I am, what I've done, and how I've paid my debt to society.

Your debt to society is to hold yourself accountable for your actions, not to serve time and come out and still forget to include that children were in the photos. You intentionally were vague about it, your post did not make it clear it was not an okay thing to do at all. In fact you never actually say its bad, or show any sympathy by the people hurt, you instead included a heartfelt message sympathizing with yourself those who struggle with the same thing...

Stop feeling bad for yourself. No one wants to hear about how bad you had it, we want to hear that you changed.

Interesting that this thread ended up spawning multiple arguments each of which could be used as an example in the OP

how does this translate to "images of young children being raped"

those child anime research drawings contribute to a market of creepphilic materials, and i can bet you that those super vague 'images of nudists' yeah theyre probably nudists but i bet some were children. Hopefully Im disproven, but I dont get a good vibe from that post at ALLLLL

Hello.  I'd like to clarify some things, particularly the timeline of events.  Unfortunately, OP's research is correct.  In February of 2020 I was arrested because I had some loli and images of nudists on a laptop that the police had previously taken as evidence.  This is apparently enough to convict someone of attempt to possess CP in Colorado.  I am not saying that this is okay.  If you have any tendencies toward this kind of thing, seek help.  Talk to someone you can trust about this.  I guarantee there is someone in your life who will listen.  At any rate, at no point did I ever abuse or seek to abuse anyone, let alone any minors.  In July I was slapped with a protection order, forbidding me from contact with anyone under 18, which is why I was pretty scarce and cagey for the rest of that year.  The courts were slow due to COVID, and it took until January of 2021 for me to be sentenced.  I got two years on probation, no jail, which should tell you that what I had wasn't that bad.

As part of probation, I had to register as a love offender, re-registering every year on my birthday.  This is why the registry currently says May 2022, simply because that was my last birthday.  I'm still on the registry, but I'm going through steps to be removed.

Probation was strict.  Early on, I couldn't handle the changes to my life, and I attempted Self Delete.  This resulted in me being hospitalized for a month and unable to walk for much longer.  I'm almost fully recovered now, but I'm still going through physical therapy for strength and pain relief.

My probation ended earlier this week, and I've been gathering the courage to address this situation.  I've served my sentence and been through therapy, and now I'd just like to be able to move on with my life.

I have no intention of retiring the names Plastiware or Reid VanBemmel, or any creative works that I've already publicly revealed.

Im a firm believer in rehabilitation versus incarceration, but theres an expectation of accountability you gain from that, of which I see very little in this. I would like you to clarify - is this like an apology or are you telling us why your accusations are ok?

Im grateful that you are seeking help via therapy and I will keep you in my thoughts because you I know society doesnt like to look at things it finds grotesque. That said, reading this made my stomach turn. Reading this didnt overwhelm me with reassurance, and I instead felt bad for you, which makes me question why this seems to be framed as an apology??

Bisjac is definitely older than you by more than a year. And the existence of Romeo Law romances does not invalidate the creepiness.

Also once again, there's seventeen galaxies between cancelling someone for 10 year old posts, having them lose their job, and us remembering how much of a creep a forumer was. This place gets like 20 eyeballs and the feds are (probably) not a pair of them.
Yeah I had the same experience, however I grew up in super liberal, where there was way more progressive love education, and even still I still knew girls who dated older dudes and vice versa. It's crazy how pervasive it is.

ohh i meant he was in his mid to late 20s when he posted that - when we were friends i think he was 26 that was like at least a decade ago

Pretty sure they're around my age, give or take a year or two, I don't know for sure. What I do know is that 2011 was my junior year of highschool, and I knew seniors 18 or 19 years of age that were dating freshman that were 2 or 3 years younger than them. It's more common than you might think in that aspect. Digging up dirt on someone from a post that was 12 years ago doesn't exactly do much justice - 12 years is a lot of time for someone to change their entire personality. Within that time their entire outlook on life could change.
of course, one must always keep an eye out for what I like to call red flags
whether this was intended to be a joke or not, I am unsure. forgeted up regardless

he was very serious

no permabans handed out for this grade A behavior, what a forum.
how old was he when he said this? Cus I remember hearing Bisjac was 30, and that was probably seven or six years ago when I became privy to that fact.

mid to late 20s

You think I've never had to suffer from the loss of a loved one? I have dealt with it, on more than one occasion unfortunately. In fact, one of my best friends who I met through this game took their own life - do you think it had do to anything with this game though? the answer is NO, because people go through the most real life stuff outside of the internet
it was actually code for creeps, but that stuff is pretty weird too...
I agree, and as I already stated, I would never even say such a thing to my worst enemy.
okay don't chill then D:
I seem to recall Space Guy being a moderator as well, but lost his mod powers at some point out of the blue

being queer or trans isnt weird

i hope at some point you reflect on why youre playing devils advocate

Kompressor is actually a great foil to Badspot, he was a cool guy and if you look him up today hes really successful and has been involved with some noteworthy stuff

A lot of your points arent even points, you just kind of victim blame.

Also who were the other mods I would like you to elaborate
