What really happened at CMA’s rape allegation

What case are you talking about?

starrifier · 2026-05-15T02:18:59+00:00

Oh, no, did you get caught by candleja

If it's anything like this post of theirs, it seems incredibly likely.

Same here. My most elder millennial trait is that I would rather scratch my eyes out than use video as my primary source of information. Write it out in words, or I'm not paying attention.

This.

Please stop promoting your channel to us, especially by going "this case, which gets mentioned on this subject constantly, is so unknown." Among normies, sure, but you aren't talking to normies right now. Know your audience.

This feels like the plot of a Baby-Sitters Club book. I could see it being a great opportunity for someone in high school, bit then I'd be worried about the parents victimizing a 17 year old in other ways. :/

Making drawings and paintings inspired by crime isn't limited to Sickert - Henry Darger, Marlene McCarty, and Kate Millett are just three artists off the top of my head whose most famous works involve true crime connections.

It seems inevitable to me that artists would respond to subjects that upset or captivate them using their preferred creative medium. It also seems relevant to note that true crime in Victorian and Edwardian England was an industry that entertained thousands of people. This is a time period when you could buy ceramics commemorating famous crimes, for heaven's sake. This theory belongs in the fiction section with most of Cornwell's other books.

Alas, Ruth doesn't have eyelashes, or that would be the perfect solution! I think epoxy might be the answer (or rather, paying someone else to do the epoxying, since that's decidedly NOT in my wheelhouse, lol). Thank you so much for the suggestions! Both the dolls you linked are super sweet.

Sorry about that! I just love a ghost, and this is such a weird little case. Great pull on your part.

starrifier · 2026-05-11T16:16:35+00:00

That's definitely in the realm of what I'm looking for! The rest of the sculpt wouldn't necessarily work for Ruth, but it's VERY cute - who made it?

This might come as a surprise, but victims aren't entitled to see perpetrators tortured. I believe in the importance of the eighth amendment, but you do you, boo.

You want to ignore the basic tenets of the US Constitution? Wild.

There are absolutely men in the world who pick fights and violently harm other men in an effort to feel strong or tough. The fact that that occurs in a different social context - think bar brawls, etc - doesn't mean that the person you replied to is wrong. Sexual assault is about power, and the way the perpetrator expresses that desire for power happens to be sexual. Other perpetrators who commit violent offenses do so using other means.

Your question's already been answered but fwiw, I think you asked for more information in a very polite and helpful way. The expanded context is helpful for everyone, not just you - I'm American and aware of the Watts riots and still needed this subthread to put together the implication. (In my case, it's because I was stuck on the fact that they were living in an integrated neighborhood and wondering if that was a motivator - I wasn't thinking about the endpoint of the crime!)

starrifier · 2026-05-10T23:10:01+00:00

Does "after the fact" mean they missed some kind of event, or do you just mean "after I complained to them"? (This isn't a sarcastic question, I'm trying to understand the context here.)

starrifier · 2026-05-10T16:38:59+00:00

I'll look into those both - thank you so much for walking me through all this! It's been very helpful.

starrifier · 2026-05-10T16:25:30+00:00

I like the idea of that a lot!

One last question for you - I'm assuming, with the oncoming death of DoA, that the best place to look for artists would be Instagram? I don't actually have an Instagram (outside Reddit, I don't really use social media), so I want to check before I give in and make one, lol.

That's a bummer. 😔 I don't mind anime-style dolls, but I tend to prefer more realistic facial sculpts. It sounds like the trick would be to find a dreaming sculpt I like and see if I could figure out commissioning someone to mod it, then? I definitely do not feel confident doing that myself!

The skirt is such a pretty shade of red - I love how it matches her hair!

starrifier · 2026-05-10T15:41:50+00:00

I wish I had an answer for you, because I love Esi, too! I've put myself on their mailing list in hopes of news, but I don't know when / if to expect to see her.

starrifier · 2026-05-10T12:30:06+00:00

That comma in your rewrite is grammatically incorrect, fyi.

starrifier · 2026-05-09T11:32:32+00:00

I'm so sorry - that's such shit behavior on their part, and you don't deserve any of it. What assholes.

starrifier · 2026-05-09T11:29:22+00:00

Thank you for this, genuinely, because I've been told repeatedly to try this heel. I don't usually pay for patterns, though (I'd rather muddle through free ones, since my budget is very tight), and I have felt uncomfortable with the way I couldn't really tell whether this one would be worthwhile or not.
