Actually, the “Slutcon” “controversy” is very simple and straightforward. “Slutcon” an organized pimping ring.
Let me explain. Men pay thousands of dollars to attend (just like a customer!). Women apply to work the event (just like an employee!). Female workers either get paid directly, gain work connections and leverage, and/or boost their own sex work side hustle careers. Open your eyes: it’s an event organized so a group of hired female workers can financially benefit in exchange for providing sexual services that men pay for.
Aella, like millions of successful-but-aging prostitutes before her, is making the transition from prostitute to pimp (or madam, as they used to call it).
The fact that supposedly intelligent “tech people” from the “tech sphere” are such utter philistines and naïve rubes that seemingly none of you are even capable of identifying the oldest trick in the book is truly risible. Instead, what we get is literal days and days of “nuanced” and breathless discourse over “the delicate issue of Slutcon🥺”.
You are all rubes. Marks. And so utterly arrogant in your belief of your own exceptionalism that you count yourselves above human nature, too interesting to learn any human history, and that’s why this sphere is constantly defeated over and over by the simplest and pettiest villains of the human story: cults, hookers, and swindlers.
Slutcon recap:
- There's an autistic sex party. This isn't my thing, but fine, autists like sex and need help socializing and having a thing where autism is normal is for the best
- Some autistic sex preferences are out of line with mainstream sex preferences. Not normal "weird," but trigger a disgust response. Probably irrational per se, as most disgust responses are, definitely a thing that's happening.
- However, the slutcon attendees overlap 80% (lets say) with AI safety advocates, which means most attendees are politically and professionally involved in an emerging industry with public facing goals
- Therefore, professional advancement and networking are gatekept by attending the consensual rape orgy, through no fault of the organizers, because it's coincidental that the overlap is so huge
- This is also terrible publicity given that they want electoral support for their political goals
Most of the slutcon attendees are my mutuals, they're just trying to do their thing, they're not trying to do anything "wrong," but the organizers are oblivious to the fact that this is something where optics matter and it's cooking their political goals.
