Mod of Reddit’s Jailbait subreddit shocked – shocked! – that dozens of commenters there were begging for nude pics of a 14-year-old

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.

Do the words ‘we need to palpate the region’ appear anywhere in it, Holly?

I just want to know how many dudes (and ladies) now have a Pavlovian reaction to hearing a Latex glove snapped. 😀

I’m on my phone (at OccupyBoston preparing for a threatened police action, actually)

Oh dear. The active chemical(s) in pepper spray aren’t very water soluble, so wash your eyes with whole milk or something if possible (you want an organic, not aqueous, solvent and fats and oils count.)

Bagelsan: More than a few, judging by my gaming groups reaction to a character pulling on gloves (to clean a door).

Evidence: The Twilight women. But are we talking about arresting them? No. The manginas and H cubeds here only care about MALE ephebos.

“Women, I’ve noticed, are more ephebephilic than the average man. ”

Really…I thought the trope was younger women like older men because they can take care of them/are more manly/have money etc. And aren’t MRAs the ones who consider age of consent laws misandry? don’t most MRAs and PUAs consider women over 25 old hags? And as I keep seeing in comments all over the internet, don’t men have this natural biological instinct to mate with younger women because they’re more fertile? Throughout history, was it not underage girls who were married off to adult men?

You’ll also notice that there is a Jailbait thread with adult men asking for pics of teenage girls, not adult women asking for pics of teenage guys.

“Feminists = pwned.”

I’m not sure if anyone else has posted this, but please report this here. It’s the reporting form for the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, and is probably the best place to report it to multiple law enforcement agencies at once.

https://secure.missingkids.com/missingkids/servlet/CybertipServlet?LanguageCountry=en_US

I know it’s a terrible form, but most of the information isn’t required. I’m not sure if you can add the screen shot, but you could link to it.

David, you’re full of sh*t. Reading your post demonstrates that you go to jailbait. I think the denial is actually more creepy than the accusation.

MRAL: If you’re talking about the movie, all the actors are over 18. The books… eh, Edward is something like 108 and the werewolf is, okay, underage. But that’s books. I’ve yet to hear of an adult Twilight fan taking up with an underage boy because he looks like Edward or what’s his face.

Last I checked, Robert Pattinson was 25, so he’s a legal adult. 40-year-old women fangirling about him is… interesting, but it’s not illegal.

Now, if you meant the Twilight fans who are themselves >18 and are passing around nekkid pics of a 25 year old man, that’s probably a whole ‘nother convo.

Yeah, keep attacking that strawman. Meanwhile, we’re busy living.

Oh, BTW, here’s the link with Pattinson’s b-day. I assumed he was much younger as well, so I had to Google.

Dude, I condemn sexual abuse all of the time. Whether they have a penis or vagina or whatever has little to do with it.

Stop assuming what we talk about and do.

The Twilight women? Who would that be? And no, no one is talking about arresting anyone, man or woman, for creepy fiction. I notice that MRAL remembers to call the guys requesting naked pictures of a teenage girl ephebophiles but thinks that women who like a chaste mormon vampire romance are pedophiles–I’m pretty sure Bella Swan’s older than 14. Yr dble standrd, it iz showing.

Taylor Lautner was underage for the first two movies, and the wimminz did not attempt to control their ‘gina tingles.

Molly: I kind of assumed that the main actors were all over 18, because Hollywood usually casts adults to play high schoolers. Should see if the werewolf guy is actually over 18… Eh, wrong-o! He’s 19 this year. Almost from my hometown, never knew that.

“I’m pretty sure Bella Swan’s older than 14.”

Wait, now I’m confused. MRAL, did you mean the female *characters* in Twilight or the middle-aged female *fans* of Twilight?

David, are you saying you’ve been falsely accused of going to /r/jailbait? The irony.
