Something something "the implication"...

[–] Reverendender@sh.itjust.works 16 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Are you saying they’re going to rape these women?

[–] monkeyslikebananas2@lemmy.world 24 points 3 months ago (1 children)

No! Of course not! But you know, they can’t really say no, because of the implication.

[–] Reverendender@sh.itjust.works 17 points 3 months ago

...Now, you've said that word "implication" a couple of times. Wha-what implication?

Almost every single escort offers FMTY (fly me to you) dates. This is nothing new and is just someone trying to capitalize on sugar baby and escort culture as a middle man

I believe they were called pimps

[–] taiyang@lemmy.world 16 points 3 months ago

At least pimps offered protection, supposedly. I somehow trust tech bros somehow considerably less.

Now it's digital services. Whoever made the onlyfans service is rich.

[–] etherphon@midwest.social 5 points 3 months ago

Yeah for sure, what a dream to just think of one thing like that, have someone design a site and just rake in the money nothing else really required. I suppose it isn't quite so simple though, you probably have to suck VC dick every day for a while.

Don't know about you, but I get a weird sort of thrill when reading something I sense as Never Been Said Before In The Entire Written & Oral History Of Mankind; just you go search in the archive, I'll wait!

I can’t believe I’m saying this, but Epstein’s johns were vetted (in the sense that they had to be successful enough that blackmailing them was worth the risk of engaging in sex trafficking and blackmail) While Epstein was a soulless monster, he still had an interest in preserving his ’investment’ in the girls because they weren’t completely disposable to his operation. Some techbro bullshit app, wrapped up in contracts and lawyers will just write off missing girls as “they knew what they were getting into” or if some john gets caught, he’ll be a bad apple, and they’ll reconsider their processes, blah, blah, blah.
Being totally real, they’re just going to grow the business until they get to the tipping point of bad press and gullible investment firms so they can offload it for maximum profit.

Yeah I have an understanding of how he operated with the info we have, it was just a throw away joke, is all

[–] Monument 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Definitely. I over-explain things. My “I can’t believe…” is that I was offering a statement that was in any way positive about Epstein.
Really, I wanted to opine on the vile nature of people with no morals who use technology to launder suffering and exploitation into investor dollars, and your comment was a great setup for it. (But I did get your joke, and I thought it was a good one.)

[–] Jiggle_Physics@piefed.zip 2 points 3 months ago

Oh, don't take my reply negatively. I just was unsure if you were ignoring the fact that it is a joke because of the seriousness of the subject matter is all. Just wanted to put out there that I understand how disgusting it all was, and, in this particular instance, I am dealing with it via humor.
