How can he "groom" an adult?
Men are gonna be scared to interact with women the way things are going whether frank is guilty or not.
I'm not sure how you could look at that persons twitter feed and come away choosing to believe any of the gibberish that's been spewed up. If she was mentally deficient at the age of 20 then how the fuck do you get married?
Whole thing stinks.
Autistic adults can have the mental age of children.
Right.This forum needs another section, call it "Social justice" or whatever and GTFO with these kind of threads there.
All I want is to read news regarding my hobby...
yup we've got where consensual relationships between adults are now abuse if the woman decides this retrospectively
Imagine a large game developer comes to you, a straight, white male and says "Hey we think you are great and we want you to be our community mananger, be present on social media, game forums, visit conventions etc and you know, just be out there loads and spend all of your days interacting with our fans."
You would need some pretty big balls, a load of Larry David consent videos to take that job on without sweating.

Heartbreaking and disappointing. I talked to him on Era and he seemed nice, but off from his postings. Taking advantage of someone autistic is disgusting even if she was of age. I hope for Stinkles sake this isn't true.
Stinkles is a respected member of the community so of course we are going to be shocked. :/
Fixed it for youI'm not sure how you could look at that persons twitter feed and come away choosing to believe any of the gibberish that's been spewed up. If she was mentally deficient at the age of 20 then how the fuck do you get married?
Whole thing STINKLES.
This her?
Just kidding. I honestly don't think that this will cause a significant percentage of men to stop pursuing women; the desire is too strong. Men will just accept allegations of sexual predation as a risk that they have to take.
Autistics deserve love too... Specifically O'connors loveNothing as far as I can tell, the only thing would hinge on her being legally not an adult at 19 due to autism, which needs to be addressed in court if its real, otherwise it shouldn't be brought up IMO.
well said!Can’t groom an adult. I’ve never seen a culture so dead-set on deflection and projection. Our society is profoundly, terminally unhappy and unable to critically examine themselves to find what could make them better.
None of this navel-gazing and hostility will end well. It’s insulting to actual victims/survivors of abuse and it waters down and distorts the presence and impact of actual sexual crimes.
NeoGAF TaySan is the best TaySan.Now you've got me wondering if NeoGAF Taysan and ResetEra TaySan are actually the same person.
Which one is Parody TaySan?
How can he "groom" an adult?
This immediately sprang to mind here too.I'm not sure how you could look at that persons twitter feed and come away choosing to believe any of the gibberish that's been spewed up. If she was mentally deficient at the age of 20 then how the fuck do you get married?
Whole thing stinks.
He is a leftist. He didn’t do a thing.So how is THIS Era thread going?
It's an additional layer of defense for the fantasy-persona they make. For instance, an old friend recently came out to me via text as trans but also made sure to include "I am also dealing with some autism/apsie symptoms" which is a farce. Prior to the transition they'd been in therapy/counseling for YEARS (including a psychiatrist at times, who would prescribe pills) and neither a diagnosis of autism nor aspergers (which is on the autism spectrum now) ever came up.On a side note, has anyone noticed that these types of people list being autistic almost as often as the list their prounouns and include #BLM in their bios? Is claiming to be autistic the new trendy thing for the SJW crowd or are the majority of them actually autistic and that's why they are so easily manipulated and unable to think or discuss rationally?
Well, men aren't forced to pursue women; men choose to do so.Whats the phrase feminists and women use... Oh yeah... "We shouldn't have to be forced to accept/deal with that."
If that's her...
I know what they say, whatever you do...don't put your dick in crazy! But...
Did you do any actually reading? For curiosity sakeThis the very active Era poster? LOoOoOL
Era seems to have shut their thread down. Must be nice to have allies cover for you when accused of this.
Also I didn’t realize he was “Upper Management” lol now I really want him to suffer for this.
Way worse than Angry Joe having one awkward night
Fair enough. Still there are so many people online these days claiming to be autistic, even then there is a spectrum.
Having autism doesn't necessarily mean you aren't capable of being a functioning adult, even though that's what many people generally think when they hear that.
You'll have to forgive me for being so skeptical.
Well yeah what she is saying is sketchy AF, but that never mattered, believe all women no matter what.
We live in a world where crazy people are given a soapbox instead of a straight jacket and a padded cell.When i read that thread i legit started to question my sanity.
Like, what the fuck is this world we are living in?
The title of this thread is click-baity, teenage girl makes it sound worse than it is.
19/20 is not an age you may be groomed. Autism probably doesn't help with the issues there, but this girl clearly has them as she appears to be quite the social butterfly for being autistic.
Are we just assuming Frankie is guilty of this? I can't recall a time where he gave off a creep vibe.
I went to Kotaku to look for some professional reporting on this story. But there does not seem to be any. They seem to have covered all the other stories this week, what could possibly be the reason this isn't newsworthy?
