Ugh. It’s the Jailbait subreddit again. If you’ve been following any of the discussions that have recently been swirling around Reddit’s popular subreddit dedicated to the posting of technically-not-child-porn pics of underage girls, you probably ran across the standard Jailbait apologia: The pics there aren’t nude pics, and besides, most of them were originally posted on the internet by the girls themselves. So it’s all good clean fun, I guess.
It’s going to be a little bit harder for the Jailbaiters to use this bullshit argument in the future. A day or so ago, you see, a Jailbaiter calling himself TheContortionist posted a pic of his (alleged) 14-year-old ex-girlfriend’s ass in a thong. Naturally, the regulars demanded more. The OP noted that the only other pics he had of her were nudes.
So literally dozens of the regulars – I counted around 70 in all — begged him to PM the nudes to them. And … apparently he did send some of them the pics, at least according to a r/jailbait moderator with the charming handle I_RAPE_PEOPLE.
I can only hope that some of the requesters were FBI agents.
Here’s a screenshot of the whole disgusting thread (SFW; in an earlier NSFW screenshot posted to Reddit virtually all of the comments you see downvoted here still had net upvotes).
TheContortionist’s post (and the Jailbaiters’ reaction to it) was first brought to the attention of non-pedo Redditors by Me_bender in ShitRedditSays, then brought to the attention of the rest of Reddit by SRS regular HPLovecraft.
Naturally, this being Reddit, the r/jailbait apologists are still insisting that, hey, even though something like 70 people in r/jailbait publicly requested PMs of child porn, this sort of thing is officially frowned upon by the subreddit’s mods, so, you know, not to worry. As CapNRoddy put it:
The existence of r/jailbait does not mean nudes of children. Those are against the rules. Those posters broke the rules.
And then of course there were various iterations of this non-argument, set forth here by im_only_a_dolphin:
You know what I do about /r/jailbait?
I don’t visit it. Bam. Problem solved.
If by “solved” you mean “ignored, because I don’t give a shit about crimes that harm people other than me,” then I guess, yeah, that is “problem solved.”
I’ve been taking these quotes from the sometimes surreal discussion of the issue on the WTF subreddit. That discussion also produced this rather surreal exchange with I_RAPE_PEOPLE, the r/jailbait moderator I mentioned earlier:
Meanwhile, in another discussion of the topic elsewhere on Reddit, voidsong managed to get more than a dozen net upvotes for a comment that attempted to place the blame for the pics in r/jailbait on “daddy’s little angels slutting themselves up and taking pictures in the mirror” (and, of course, their parents).
I can only hope that the authorities are investigating these creeps, and that the Reddit admins are cooperating fully with them.

Comrade Silva,
I don’t really think vulvas are that scary. I mean, maybe that’s what MRAL is actually upset about but I do think an equal number of young men are freaked out by the vagina more so than the vulva.
@Orion: I guess the vagina is like Jaws… it’s more terrifying ’cause you can’t see it, but you know it’s lurking down there somewhere ready to bite you. ;D
The path that should be clear is, of course, not to take A Song of Ice and Fire as relationship advice.
(Bagelsan: Sisters.)
…
Jesus fuck, MRAL creeps me out. Yeah, he provides some comedy, but…he is just a bundle of anger and contradictions (seriously, hating vaginas, yet being mad when the people who bear them don’t want to fuck you…FUCKING SERIOUSLY?!)

If penises are “better” than vaginas when why do you pursue sex with women, MRAL? Doesn’t seem very logical.

Look, I just think vaginas are disgusting body parts. It’s not a judgement on the people who have them, those people usually also have bewbs, which are great body parts.
o_o
I have a horrified face at the implications of how this conversation is going…
Am fighting urge to drop a link for MRAL — a few years ago, there was a bit hoo-hah over a nude picture of an actor whose name I don’t remember (British actor? think so), because of his penis (he was not circumcised) — a SLEW of fangirls who had adored him up to that point swore off him forever because of the ickiness of the penis. The perception in fandom was that they were mostly American, mostly young, and had perhaps seen very few penises (peni?) in their natural state–but I’m sure MRAL WT would be thrilled to know that girls can be totally disgusted and turned off by the sight of male appendages. It would no doubt be very good for him.
@Ami: *hugs and smooches* Been so busy and I guess so have you–great to see you!
ithiliana. The plural of penis is penes
Yes, women with penises should be properly spared from MRAL related dating horrors as well.
Also, someone who for spoiler’s sake will not be named was a pretty raging asshole until he got his hand cut off.
…Luke Skywalker?
…Ash from “Evil Dead?”
I’m fairly sure that MRAL would see women being disgusted by (specific) cocks for whatever reason as a sign of misandry.
Only mentioning this because I see the need every time this misconception comes up: the cup letter only relates to cup volume IN conjunction with the band size. The C of a 32c is a different thing than a 42C.
That is all.
Reddit sounds like a haven for internet trolls…………I might wanna check it out there sometime! 🙂 Of course manboobz, you do realize that this is the internet and there is really nothing that is too offensive, to controversial, too taboo,too tasteless, or even too illegal to be posted facetiously for the purposes of amusement/getting people worked up.
Wow! You don’t say! Sounds like stuff we should be mocking, huh? Of course, someone who posts misogynistic stuff on the internet in the hopes of getting people who hate misogyny worked up about it are still (wait for it!) misogynists. You know that, right?
It’s weird that you keep posting in these dead comment threads, as if you want to be able to spout bullshit but don’t want to be called on it. Makes me think you know your thoughts have no merit.
Protip: There’s a “recent comments” sidebar. You can’t just sneak in comments without anyone noticing.
There are things are too illegal. For example, child pornography; people gets arrested for it.
Might I add: I have a sneaky suspicions that the other reddit posters were trying to goad MrPedoman into posting those pics for the purpose of getting him to incriminate himself for the lolz of seeing someone else in deep shit(legally mind you).
Suuuuuuuure they were.
Also, “sneaky suspicions?” You are not the person to complain about mangling the English language.
Hey, he could have meant that his suspicions were sneaky. That works, for someone who likes trolling.
Sure! Everyone knows the best way to catch a child pornographer is to ask him or her for pictures, which incriminates yourself in the process if he or she actually sends them. Lulzy fun-time for all.
(Hint: No. No it is not.)
Cassandra, that makes sense because I don’t trust his suspicions.
Katz – “Protip: There’s a “recent comments” sidebar. You can’t just sneak in comments without anyone noticing.”
Indeed, Pretentiously Nameless In French – The best thing to do when you have this sort of pathetic “I GET THE LAST WORD” plan, is to wait for a topic to get really heated, so the recent posts sidebar gets filled up, and it gets easier for you to slip in your really really pathetic brilliant post on a topic that died months ago. So I’m told by all the wise internet toddlers.
“Pretentiously Nameless In French” Why are so many pretentious English speakers so found of our language? Does saying en français make it smarter?
Kyrie: I know *just* enough French to translate “Monsieur sans Nom”, but I’ve been on the Internet long enough that I keep wanting to see it as a LOLcat reference.
