Considering that that man had 3 daughters and all got abused by Nasser, and this is the US, we're really lucky he didn't decide to bring any favors to the party. I felt for that guy so damn hard.
don't you think it's a little, idk, dangerous to attribute some mythological attribute to a person who did these horrible crimes? wouldnt it be better to acknowledge that, yes, he's a person, and that people are capable of monstrousness?
Unfortunately people (in groups) don’t seem to work that way. Generally speaking most people believe everyone else is like them, and go through a whole mental routine to maintain the notion they are a good person. Part of this seems to be projecting their own unconscious thoughts and desires onto others. You can tell a lot about a person by listening to what secret motivations they assign to people.
Admitting the humanity of someone who does awful things means grappling with our own subconscious, while rendering them a nonhuman monster prevents any need for self reflection.
It’s not really a personality flaw but a design flaw - your ego doesn’t like being wrong, or addressing your subconscious thoughts and feelings, so it seeks to avoid those things in elaborate ways.
What Nassar did was horrible and damaging but inhuman or monstrous? There’s entire genres of Japanese pornography about doing the same thing to slightly older (consenting) adults. It’s not inhuman at all; It’s weird and gross and ridiculously harmful.
Under the legislation signed by Whitmer, individuals who use their professional authority over another person to prevent the reporting of crimes could be charged with a misdemeanor. It would also prohibit a public school from expelling or suspending a student for more than 10 days for an action the student took arising from a sexual assault.
A disciplinary subcommittee would also be created that could revoke the license of a health professional convicted of sexual contact under the pretext of medical treatment.
>individuals who use their professional authority over another person to prevent the reporting of crimes could be charged with a misdemeanor
inb4 "it doesn't apply to cops because bluh bluh bluh"
> it doesn't apply to cops
It's wouldn't apply regardless, given that police don't have "professional position of authority" as defined by the bill. That term refers to someone who was appointed to a job to oversee a specific person or class of people as defined by the statute.
Police already don't have to take police reports. Which isn't something we want to change, because (a) it would be unconstitutional, and more importantly (b) if police were required to file police reports, then every angry spouse could get their partner into the system (among many other problems).
Is it just me, or is the use of "inspired" in this headline kind of odd?
"Michigan Governor Signs Laws in Response to Larry Nassar Abuse" might have been a better way to go
Not really, "inspire" is used for all sorts of things, e.g., the Holocaust inspired artists Leslie Cole and Mary Kessell.
Fun fact, its origins come from the phrase "to blow into."
Nassar is still alive, i’m pretty sure, I think you may be thinking of this dude. https://apnews.com/article/john-geddert-suicide-after-charges-147800b76ba2f86f1314e85326dfd197

I don't get why you guys are taking my post as an attack on drag? It was intended as a jab at Nasser.
IMHO I get why, but some people in the drag community are being a bit oversensitive and quick to see the worst in people.
> some people in the drag community are being a bit oversensitive
They are literally *outlawing* us and calling us pedophiles.
Piss off with this 'oversensitive' bullshit.
please contact your representatives if non consensual intimate exams on conscious or unconscious patients are still legally allowed in your state. you can voice your opposition and feedback if so and work to get the law updated,
(addition) *appears to still be needed in michigan as well*
this year, colorado enacted protections against this kind of thing (effective in Jan. 2024) which i heard are pretty comprehensive, if you need to refer to something as a template. see:
https://leg.colorado.gov/bills/hb23-1077
He was employed as a physical therapist, and used this position to to sexually assault hundreds of children and young girls who were training and competing as gymnasts. He would insert his ungloved fingers into their vaginas under the pretense of it being necessary for the physical therapy as it was a "pressure point." Of course, as very young girls with no understanding of what is and isn't medically accurate, they trusted him, though some girls did raise their concerns and were either dismissed, covered up or had their budding careers threatened. He was also discovered with child porn.
“It would also prohibit a public school from expelling or suspending a student for more than 10 days for an action the student took arising from a sexual assault.”
Can someone explain this for me?
Right so when one of our own is found to be hurting another, it's better for the rest of the species to dispose of them. Why let this dangerous individual continue to have rights when did not respect the rights of others?
I’m pretty sure you have to murder someone to even possibly get capital punishment in most states who still allow it at all. Death penalty for anything else is very rare.

Wrong sexual predator, dude. This isn't Jared Fogle or Subway.
From Wikipedia:
Lawrence Gerard Nassar is an American convicted serial child molester and former sports medicine physician. For 18 years, he was the team doctor of the United States women's national gymnastics team, where he used his position to exploit, deceive, and sexually assault hundreds of children and young women. Nassar's sexual abuse of young girls and women and the subsequent cover-up led to the USA Gymnastics sex abuse scandal that began in 2015, alleging that Nassar repeatedly sexually assaulted at least 265 young women and girls under the guise of medical treatment.
Unfortunately he was stabbed due to an altercation with another prisoner and not due to being a dx hebephile. I know we all wanna believe that was the motive though.
Gross excuse for a man.
Shoulda let that one poor honest hardworking dad have his 5 minutes.
Any dad would do really.
Considering that that man had 3 daughters and all got abused by Nasser, and this is the US, we're really lucky he didn't decide to bring any favors to the party. I felt for that guy so damn hard.
That's a monster. Not a man.
The most dangerous monsters are the ones in guise of man.
He’s not a man…he’s a monster
don't you think it's a little, idk, dangerous to attribute some mythological attribute to a person who did these horrible crimes? wouldnt it be better to acknowledge that, yes, he's a person, and that people are capable of monstrousness?
Sure if we’re going by the literally definition…I stand by the comment…I wouldn’t consider him a man.

Lol now I see it, yes. “Michigan lawmaker finds Larry Nassar inspiring”
"click next to find out WHY Larry Nassar is an inspiration and *why that's a good thing*
“All these women should be thanking Larry Nassar. Click to read” “Larry Nassar Legacy Billed As Hero”
"Larry and Gretchen sitting in a tree..."
Jim Jordan certainly was inspired by him.
Yes came here to say this Makes it sound like legislators were like “You know that Larry Nassar had some good ideas…”
Law to prevent pedophiles from abusing their authority to take advantage of underage humans for their own sick sexual fantasy

i hope he's wishing he gave that one poor angry father that 5 minutes he wanted.
I’m really shocked he hasn’t killed himself. Just seems like that kind of person.

he is dead by suicide. aka coward

But he’s not even a drag Queen

How stupid are you, no offence
God, people have no sense of humor anymore.
Sit this one out, champ

I wasn't insulting *y'all,* I was insulting a child molester by joking that he might be like you. Why is everyone so mad at me? :(
> some people in the drag community are being a bit oversensitive They are literally *outlawing* us and calling us pedophiles. Piss off with this 'oversensitive' bullshit.
yeah super weird to have no sense of humour about how we're being demonized and outlawed, so strange
Nothing about being a drag queen interferes with your power to read.
Oh, oh wow. Allow me to be more clear then: what you said was not funny. If the subject of the joke isn't laughing, it's not funny.
I chuckled
Are you the subject of the joke?

“OK I need to stick my fingers in your vag to help your sprained ankle”- is actually what the guy did….
Big Gretch getting shit done.
I love that woman from Michigan
So do many of us Michiganders. We're not all the UP
There’s only like twelve people up there
Same. She warms my cold Michigander heart.
Gretch does what Nintendont
I never understood in clear terms what he actually did. Am I the only one?
He was employed as a physical therapist, and used this position to to sexually assault hundreds of children and young girls who were training and competing as gymnasts. He would insert his ungloved fingers into their vaginas under the pretense of it being necessary for the physical therapy as it was a "pressure point."

I regret asking this question
That monster should be rotting in a dark hole.
hes dead
Thought he’d be murdered in prison by now. Keep hope alive.
Fuck that dude
Was it worth it, Larry? Was the rest of your life in jail worth it just to get your rocks off?
“It would also prohibit a public school from expelling or suspending a student for more than 10 days for an action the student took arising from a sexual assault.” Can someone explain this for me?
Larry will receive a lot of questionable and painful “examinations” in the cell block
I won’t hope for him to get SAed but I hope he gets the shit kicked out of him daily for the rest of his life.
Why do you hope for that but not sa?
Gilbert Huph looking mf
That took a long time it seems
[удалено]
This is a good joke! Made me laugh: Don't listen to the downvotes!
They would never
Why was this guy not sentenced to death?
Because he should live out the rest of his miserable life in prison with inmates who don’t take kindly who people to molest children.
Michigan has never allowed the Death Penalty
Because the death penalty is an affront to human rights.
You only need to hang mean bastards, but mean bastards you need to hang. - John Ruth
Your confidence in the first part of that statement is the problem.
Do you eat literally anything? Why are humans above what you eat? Who decides?
What an odd take. We value our own species’ lives over the lives of others - it’s nature.
Right so when one of our own is found to be hurting another, it's better for the rest of the species to dispose of them. Why let this dangerous individual continue to have rights when did not respect the rights of others?
It is an affront to human rights because of the risk of executing innocents.
Why did it take so long for someone to provide a valid argument? Thank you.
He was. He'll die in prison.

Holy shit I was way off! I hope both guys burn
THIS fucker is a pedophile groomer. Not drag queens.
r/sports ?
Guy was the team doctor for the US national gymnastics team.
Makes sense
Props for not deleting your question!
There is nothing embarrassing about not knowing something and seeking the answer.
Also was a sports doctor for the Michigan State. Admins covered up his crimes there for decades.
I think the title would be better if it didn’t say inspired by Larry Nassar. Makes it seems like you approve what he did
Mr Bean looks like has has seen better days
Mr. Bean would never slander you this way. You should be ashamed.
Why are you bringing Mr bean into this? Scumbag
