Nowhere was I making excuses for actual exploitation. I won't argue that Chris is exceptional, but where I diverge from your point of view is the fact that Chris was competent enough to fight off aspersions and insinuations on his sexuality in the past. Today, although he's crazier, he's still referring to Sockness as sexy.
Oh, I just don't think Chris cares about being seen as gay anymore. I think he's gotten to a point where he rationalizes the world as "gay, straight? what's the difference??", but I also don't think that fundamentally changed what he actually finds attractive. I don't think he finds men attractive anymore now than he did in the past.
(Well, and whatever the HRT has done to his libido is ancillary to this.)
I've actually worked with victims (children and adults of sexual abuse/molestation) and never once have I ever heard from evidence of them referring to their aggressor as "sexy".
I agree that what the ideafags *might* have done is tantamount to battery or assault, but the thing between Chris and Sockness seems to be rather symbiotic. Have you ever thought that maybe Chris is using roleplaying to finally explore his sexual attraction to men or his "bi-curiosity"? I mean, it's not unheard of for tranny fetishists to get off on the idea that they're so sexy and irresistible that people will seek sex from them through any means possible.
I'm curious as to the context of that statement. I think if we saw the whole conversation, it'd probably be more mundane. Like maybe Sockness was jabbering at Chris about how he's dressing up sexy for Chris, and Chris replied "oh yeah you're totally sexy". Which is stupid, but it's less like it came from Chris' own initiative and more like Chris is just saying shit.
I think Chris thinks of himself as sexy regardless. I don't think he feels the innate need to get compliments from Sockness.
I really just think Chris is just enduring Sockness purely because of the merge. I don't think Chris is being driven by lust.
Oh, and I do agree that Chris and Sockness have a symbiotic relationship. I just don't think it's sexual on Chris' part, and I think Chris is insane and Sockness is taking advantage of that. Not necessarily a criminal offense, but he is taking advantage of Chris' insanity regardless.
I mean, Chris sliced his taint open. If Chris was just being weird and roleplaying, I might not be so convinced Chris isn't consciously / intentionally pursuing this shit. But he sat down on the toilet, took a box cutter, and sliced his taint open because he believed (he felt a lump that he was convinced was his clit growing in) he was growing a vagina.
I just can't regard any decisions that man makes as willful, adult decisions. I don't think he can consent. He's that bonkers. And speds like Sockness are taking advantage of that.
