If you listen closely, you will be able to hear the sounds of thousands of "Shoot your local pedo" bumper stickers being scratched off lifted pick up trucks

[–] Le_Wokisme@hexbear.net 78 points 6 days ago (1 children)

just the first word though, not the whole sticker

2025 is the year pedophilia gets socially accepted amongst the right wing party of the United States.

What a time to be alive

[–] jared@mander.xyz 52 points 6 days ago

Openly accepted.

[–] godlessworm@hexbear.net 60 points 6 days ago (2 children)

i love how in his head he was the victim in his SA because he was a teacher. he thinks somehow this is what gave them the ability to arrest him for assaulting a child.

"they were asking me all sorts of questions about my job, basically love bombing me. i was manipulated. i was the one who was abused. this child is a very advanced psychopath, they are dangerous and uses their looks to their advantage. scratch that last part from the record"

What makes twitter even worse than 4chan is that twitter users have the confidence to post this shit directly under their real names and faces.

[–] theoryenjoyer@hexbear.net 4 points 4 days ago

I prefer the worst people out themselves tbh, names and addresses, as they say

[–] JustSo@hexbear.net 39 points 5 days ago

You know, it's pretty messed up that the Virginia offender registry just shows you this guy's address.

Like, he's a bad guy, but surely there's a better solution that doesn't just allow any random in the world to go to www.vspsor.com and find him so easily with a search for Christopher Ritchie.

[–] Dort_Owl@hexbear.net 45 points 6 days ago (4 children)

So like, shouldn't he be arrested for this?

[–] LeeeroooyJeeenkiiins@hexbear.net 69 points 6 days ago (1 children)

It implies he already was arrested, tried, sentenced, etc. Hence him being on a registry for life.

[–] Dort_Owl@hexbear.net 33 points 6 days ago

Sounds like he was, hence being on the MAGA Republican registry

I was born on July 7, 1991, and named [Name #1] after my father. My legal name has never been CJ, which was a childhood nickname derived from being Christopher Jr. Growing up, everyone called me CJ, and the name stuck through high school and college. I stayed in my hometown during college, commuting to classes while working at the Boys and Girls Club and substitute teaching, which kept the nickname CJ a consistent part of my identity.

On November 11, 2018, I married my husband, [Husband name], and took his last name to honor our union. My legal name changed to [Name #2] by early 2019, reflecting my deep commitment to family, a core value in my life, and as a traditional gesture to my husband. For simplicity in everyday settings, as is common in many bicultural families, I often use [Name #2], while fully embracing the hyphenated [Surname #2] in our cultural context. Those who knew me before my marriage will always know me as [Name #1]. Since November 2018, however, my legal name has been [Name #2]

Is a legal name change even possible when you're on a lifelong [violent] sex offender registry? I pulled up his Virginia database registry, which fully checks out, and it's under his old legal name. Defending paedophilia under a new legal name to obfuscate your past is... man it'd be a shame if someone felt vindictive and had a phone.

I removed the names that he fully lists on his Proud to be a Paedophile Biography for some reason.

[–] JustSo@hexbear.net 9 points 5 days ago

I know they aren't entirely reliable but I ran that bio page through two generative text detectors and they both flagged large sections of it.

The contrition and acknowledgement of causing harm in his bio is entirely missing from his self-soothing twitter confession.

[–] KobaCumTribute@hexbear.net 20 points 6 days ago (1 children)

That would require the (now presumably 20-to-30-something) victim to press charges against him and the dysfunctional legal system to care enough to follow through. Like a case doesn't get opened just because someone publicly confesses to a crime, it requires something to establish that it was even a thing that happened (a police report, a specific currently-still-a-minor suspected victim [which allows the state to open a case on behalf of said victim], a body, a missing person, etc) before anyone might even hypothetically look at it, and even there cops notoriously don't usually bother unless it's something high profile or they have an axe to grind with someone.

I'm sure there are examples of cops just starting from a confession (or alleged confession) and working backwards towards a crime and getting results even in the absence of establishing that any crime took place, but that tends to be a way of harassing minorities or settling personal scores. Remember that cops are both draconian, petty racists and lazy bastards who generally don't care about the victims they do already know about.

[–] Blakey@hexbear.net 24 points 6 days ago (1 children)

He presumably didn't voluntarily put himself on the registry. He was caught and charged. Otherwise it wouldn't have been classified in any way, he wouldn't have been sentenced, and he wouldn't be on the registry.

The fact this experience apparently didn't communicate to him how fucked up this is is a sad indictment of punitive "justice" systems and should lead us to consider rehabilitative justice. This guy should still be doing the work to reform/rehab himself, not just be back out in society defending his actions.

[–] JustSo@hexbear.net 8 points 6 days ago

Yeah his registration with that database was updated this year. Someone dropped his mugshot and the record of the conviction / offender registry entry on LinkedIn. He's registered for life as a violent offender.

[–] happybadger@hexbear.net 45 points 6 days ago

My shirt saying "I support paedophiles for 𝓐 𝓹𝓪𝓻𝓽𝓲𝓬𝓾𝓵𝓪𝓻 𝓾𝓷𝓭𝓲𝓼𝓬𝓵𝓸𝓼𝓮𝓭 𝓻𝓮𝓪𝓼𝓸𝓷" has people asking a lot of questions already answered by my shirt.

[–] SorosFootSoldier@hexbear.net 41 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago) (2 children)

I'm fine with this honestly, let them come out and openly admit they are pedos, it's not the win they think it is.

[–] InappropriateEmote@hexbear.net 38 points 6 days ago

On one hand, it's a positive thing that these predators would label themselves like this, making it easier to identify them. Hopefully the end result of that is it makes it just a little bit harder for them to victimize others. On the other hand, the normalization of this kind of behavior is terrifying.

[–] BearerOfPickles@hexbear.net 3 points 3 days ago

"live your truth brother!"

I can't take it anymore, dude. I just can't stand this shit. I must find a way to log off.

My friends and I thought the senior dating the sophomore was creepy. And this man wants people to think it's okay to triple that age gap. AND HE WAS A TEACHER. wall

[–] MarxusMaximus@hexbear.net 35 points 6 days ago

Obviously, the fash will start embracing pedophiles more and more but this guy is also gay and I highly doubt they'll be accepting of that.

[–] i_drink_bleach@hexbear.net 24 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

At age 22, I engaged in a[n] ~~consensual~~ encounter with a 16 year old

No, you {assaulted} a 16 year old. This is the most basic math. 18=16+2. 16 < 18. Under 18 means non-consensual age. Non-consensual age means {assault}. It's not fucking hard. Admitting you're an {assaulter} for trump is not the power move you think it is. Straight to jail. If I had my way it would be straight to the fucking wall.

But of course, somehow you're the victim.

Edit: Removed a specific, applicable word because auto-mod was not happy.

[–] JustSo@hexbear.net 34 points 6 days ago

Mask on? Fuck it, mask off.

[–] BearerOfPickles@hexbear.net 3 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (1 children)

What am I missing here? This guy - I assume he's an American, where the age of consent is 18, just admits to what is sexual assault by the straight up law like it's exculpatory? The teacher part is just a red herring. I know I'm drunk but Jesus what a self own. It's too perfect I don't want it to be a bit

[–] vegeta1@hexbear.net 2 points 3 days ago

MAGA? More like... MAP...GA... whatever man I can't even be bothered to make a coherent pun at this point.

[–] segfault11@hexbear.net 27 points 6 days ago (2 children)

this is how i find out junlper is giving elon $8 per month 😔

[–] miz@hexbear.net 12 points 6 days ago (3 children)

I need this joke explained to me

[–] segfault11@hexbear.net 22 points 6 days ago (3 children)

@CantEverDie originally used the username @JUNlPER (the i is actually a lowercase L) and is a prolific poster, podcaster, social media editor for The Onion, basically a prominent figure in the post-Bernie-2020 online left, and as such has historically been critical of Elon Musk. after Elon bought twitter, he started charging $8 per month for the blue check you see next to some usernames, which most people initially laughed off because it's clearly a stupid concept, but I guess some people have started to buy it because at some point he also made it so your posts get more visibility if you pay for it and less if you don't.

[–] aeshna_cyanea@lemmy.dbzer0.com 20 points 6 days ago

Sometimes Twitter also assigns checkmarks to public figures directly. Idk if that's the case here but for example Cory Doctorow has "NONCONSENSUAL BLUE TICK" in his username

[–] FunkyStuff@hexbear.net 10 points 6 days ago

First off, fuck Elon Musk
Eight dollars too much, b*tch, that's expensive (True)

  • JPEGMAFIA (he would go on to pay the eight dollars after opening the album with these lines)
[–] LaGG_3@hexbear.net 7 points 6 days ago

She must be making some money from the Kill The Computer Patreon lol

[–] Le_Wokisme@hexbear.net 8 points 6 days ago

paid for the blue check, which was previously a somewhat arbitrary "this public figure or institutional account is legitimate" thing on twitter.

[–] Trying2KnowMyself@hexbear.net 6 points 6 days ago

CantEverDie has a blue check and is a replacement for junlper’s banned twitter account.

[–] VHS@hexbear.net 8 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago) (1 children)

Some people get blue checkmarks gifted to them and there's no way to dispose of it
