I love how people are like "men can't even talk to women without having their entire lives destroyed!!" and yet tor dot com just put the Open Source Boob Project dude in my fucking inbox.

If you are a young un or simply were not on LiveJournal, here's a primer on the Open Source Boob Project: https://fanlore.org/wiki/The_Open-Source_Boob_Project

Anyway, true to one of the better responses to his bullshit: if you and I are ever in a public place together and someone is skeeving you out and you need to be rescued by a heavily tattooed muscular dude, hit me up.

I am happy to be a Volunteer Sketchy Lookin Dude to extract you from a situation, provide escort so you don't get into one, etc.

I will not lay a hand on you, I will not hit on you. I will talk to you about lambs and the weather and get you somewhere safe and make sure you can call someone you know better than me, and if you want me to i will stay with you until they arrive.

And then I will go away and you won't owe me a goddamned thing. We keep us safe.

Y'all, dude's name is in fact "Ferrett" and he's apparently "ferretthimself" on Twitter these days.

He blocked me years ago for mentioning he'd never actually shown any understanding of how skeevy OSBP was let alone all the other rapey shit he wrote about doing.

What other rapey shit?

Oh I'm glad you asked. https://twitter.com/brigidkeely/status/1390382804018606085?s=19

"But that was years ago!"

Dudes who refuse accountability do not stop being a problem. https://twitter.com/MarySueSays/status/1390384655547846656?s=19

More receipts on Ferrett being a rapey fuck and I am not kidding with that description. Take care when reading the links in this thread. https://twitter.com/98nemraK/status/1390446776658939904?s=19

Ferrett being racist as fuck - he can add a generic note to this but if you're going to be racist and whorephobic a better option is to just not republish that shit, or if you must then fucking acknowledge the racism and whorephobia. https://www.theferrett.com/classic-ferrett/the-night-i-hired-a-hooker/

Anyway yes, he's been promoted by social justice darlings like Scalzi because white cis dudes in publishing are gonna white cis dude, and they're gonna stick together and try to let this skeevy rapey fuck reinvent himself as A Nice Guy without ever addressing his shit.

Please remember that skeevy dudes will in fact make sure they groom a witness pool of people who will say "but he hasn't been skeevy to me!" so if he hasn't been skeevy to you then congrats on being part of his plan to be a famous author while being a skeevy dude.

Anyway in case you were wondering how Ferrett reacts to people who know he's a skeevy dude who has never actually taken accountability for that, he's had my ass blocked for years.
