tl;dr: "I'm a rapist, but if I donate enough money to charity, that'll make everything better! Please forgive and love me again despite the fact that I've misled every single one of my friends about what I did and still roleplay rape threads."

In all seriousness like. This is the sort of thing that I would HOPE someone with that sort of fucked up actions in their past would do? Work to correct the mistake, donate to help victims, etc. So if he's actually serious about that then eh, I'll give him that at least.

But everything else jesus wtf

It's not the fact that he's donating to charity that's a bad thing. It's the fact that he's holding it up as a shield and using it to say "I'm a great guy now!!!"

It would be meaningful if he accepted "I'm a rapist" instead of tapdancing around it with "what she experienced was undoubtedly rape."

where do you draw the line between "i am a rapist" and "i was a rapist"

What does this comment even mean?? If you committed rape, you are a rapist. Where does 'was' come into play? Are you trying to say that if you are not presently committing rape right at that very moment, you're only a rapist in the past tense...? That makes no fucking sense.

Once a rapist, forever a rapist.

if you say i am a rapist, then yes, that does make it sound like you're still out there actively doing it

He didn't say "I was a rapist" either, you stupid shit. I'm pointing out the way he uses weasel words to make himself sound better.

See, that's not how I read it at all. I don't know, some of the wording was off and made me side-eye hard, but it read as genuine to me? I didn't think it came off as LOOK AT ME I'M A GREAT GUY as much as I fucked up, this is how I am trying to improve.

I'm as disgusted as anyone but I'm willing to give him the benefit of the doubt? At least if anything I think he's an idiot rather than actively seeking to harm people like Ken or Hellion.

intent becomes completely irrelevant when one considers the consequences of his actions

and i mean it took him raping somebody to decide to donate to these charities

he has also remained somewhat close to his victim's social circle and extorted acquaintances for sympathy

no sorry this guy isn't just an idiot. he's a piece of shit.

that's how i read it too, anon. he seemed genuinely remorseful, like he wanted to not be such a shitty person and do right. i too am appalled by all of this, but i took this confession as a desire to do better and apologize. it doesn't erase the fucking terrible things he's done and the deceptions he's perpetuated, but i am also willing to give him the benefit of the doubt.
