empty, clinical, deracinated, joyless

Reading the blog it sounded like everyone had a great time with lots of fun. Probably not much emotional intimacy, but I don't see why that matters. It was done with precision and rules, but that's just because rules keep things orderly. You might as well call a game of Monopoly clinical and dispassionate because people agree ahead of time to take turns in a specific order.

It really feels like your whole reaction is just "This is really gross to ME, so I am EXTREMELY offended that other people do it!". Bad enough that you think you know Aella and the participants better than themselves and that you think you can judge that they'd have been better off not doing it. It's much worse that it's emotionally affecting you to such a degree and that you seem to think they deserve some sort of punishment or at least social ostracization from all of society for having a gang bang.

By her own admission, Aella was terrified going in, had to be (consensually) pinned down to prevent her from striking or biting the men fucking her, and says she'd never do it again. Reminds me of that joke "9 out of 10 people enjoy gang rape". Not in the sense that she was raped (it was consensual) but in the sense that I don't get the impression she enjoyed the experience half as much as the male participants. (Although that being said, I wouldn't be terribly surprised if in a few years when the OnlyFans money dries up, she decides to reinvent herself as a #MeToo icon and cites this experience as an example of the humiliation and coercive control she experienced at the hand of an abusive boyfriend/the entire rat community.)

Consenting adults can do whatever they please in private. I can respect this right without being happy about every specific thing they do.

What is this place?

This website is a place for people who want to move past shady thinking and test their ideas in a court of people who don't all share the same biases. Our goal is to optimize for light, not heat; this is a group effort, and all commentators are asked to do their part.

The weekly Culture War threads host the most controversial topics and are the most visible aspect of The Motte. However, many other topics are appropriate here. We encourage people to post anything related to science, politics, or philosophy; if in doubt, post!

Check out The Vault for an archive of old quality posts. You are encouraged to crosspost these elsewhere.


Why are you called The Motte?

A motte is a stone keep on a raised earthwork common in early medieval fortifications. More pertinently, it's an element in a rhetorical move called a "Motte-and-Bailey", originally identified by philosopher Nicholas Shackel. It describes the tendency in discourse for people to move from a controversial but high value claim to a defensible but less exciting one upon any resistance to the former. He likens this to the medieval fortification, where a desirable land (the bailey) is abandoned when in danger for the more easily defended motte. In Shackel's words, "The Motte represents the defensible but undesired propositions to which one retreats when hard pressed."

On The Motte, always attempt to remain inside your defensible territory, even if you are not being pressed.


New post guidelines

If you're posting something that isn't related to the culture war, we encourage you to post a thread for it. A submission statement is highly appreciated, but isn't necessary for text posts or links to largely-text posts such as blogs or news articles; if we're unsure of the value of your post, we might remove it until you add a submission statement. A submission statement is required for non-text sources (videos, podcasts, images).

Culture war posts go in the culture war thread; all links must either include a submission statement or significant commentary. Bare links without those will be removed.

If in doubt, please post it!
