MA-1: Morse accused of inappropriate sexual relations with college students

[Adam Griffin]

Who care? This is straight ignorance of LGBT culture at best and homophobic at worst. I'm getting real sick of the puritanical socon BS coming from liberals lately. I guess this is what happens when you swallow the suburbs!

What many straights (and apparently some teenage gay Atlas virgins/incels) don't seem to get that when there is literally less than 5% of the selection available to gay men that is available to heterosexual/bisexual men & women, there's going to be a naturally higher tolerance for age differences in relationships and sex (or else many would just end up being celibate; we're not all attracted to each other, you know).

A guy in his late 20s bangs some guys in their early 20s: that's a Wednesday night in Gay America. An insane number of gay relationships have a decade or more of difference in them. The overwhelming share of my own partners have been a few years older than I (a trend that has stuck from the time I was a teenager until now, despite it being unintentional on my own part), but it's just how things work out; these are my preferences. It doesn't make my relationships "inappropriate", it doesn't make me a "victim" and I highly doubt any of his partners could be considered such, either.


Furthermore and with regard to "muh power structures and student/teachers":

1) When did these events happen? I'm doubting they happened this year.

2) Are these "students" actually his students or just happened to be on the same campus that he taught at (along with 28,000 other "students" at UMass Amherst)? I imagine had he had sex with college students from a university halfway across the country, the headlines would be the same ("'teacher' banging 'students'!").

3) How long has he been a teacher on-campus? As far as we know, he was 25 and banging 21 year-olds before he was even a teacher there. This is a guy who got elected Mayor when he was 22 years old: I'm sure even had it not been students, some of the usual suspects would've been telling him back then that having intimate relationships with people of his own age and gender would have been "inappropriate" for somebody "of his position".

Nobody can claim "POWER STRUCTURE" nonsense if the "students" weren't students of his - and even then and from the sound of it, this was a voluntary, consensual, mutual matching of individuals that was initiated off-campus/on a dating app. If he was banging children or coercing his own students in-person without mutual interest expressed prior, then it's "inappropriate". Otherwise, it's just relying upon most people's ignorance by using buzzwords to paint a portrait largely rooted in the female-centric objectified sexual victim mentality, to which gay men obviously aren't bound.

Zoomers really are the f[inks]king worst. You'd think anybody - regardless of age or taste - would learn to stop entertaining the idea of physical or emotional intimacy with them. That's Morse's biggest misstep here out of the explicitly-articulated reporting I've seen thus far.

"I've spent my whole life online and socially awkward from a lack of human interaction - I HAVE THE RIGHT to not ever feel uncomfortable in ANY social situation!". In retrospect, this is perfectly reflected in why the pre-2010 teenage Atlas community transformed from c[inks]k-destroyers into the post-2010 Atlas community of priests, virgins and incels.

Zoomers really are the f[inks]king worst.

And so are their scumbag defenders.

Just made my first donation since Bernie - oddly enough, to yet another maligned Jewish man who just so happens to have been the victim of vicious anti-gay sentiment to boot.

IF IT'S ALL FAKE, then why are state Democrats launching formal internal investigations (which of course won't be concluded until after the primary)? Additionally, why aren't they making full-throated defenses of themselves saying that these claims are outright lies if in fact they are?

It's obvious: what's been released by The Intercept is the truth. They know it and so does everybody else not looking for a homophobic out to embrace the establishment. It doesn't take a month to verify whether or not select individuals made comments, recommendations, etc. It's a CYA situation where the apparatuses either expect to make some modest tsk-tsk noises at those who ginned this up if Morse wins, or release some after-the-fact findings (or perhaps none at all) if Morse loses, perhaps with some generic "we'll do better next time and/or have one sit-down with MA Stonewall Democrats to learn from our mistakes" statement.
