Years, years, years ago there was a thread in which some pretending to be Tao Lin posted, and Tao Lin's twitter linked to that thread with the word "lol". But the tweet was deleted fast and I don't have a screenshot. That is all the proof there is.

This chick is obviously having a mental breakdown. She became a dude, started liking chicks, parrots the "I was always this way" of actual gays, and since she now never liked dudes yells rape.

The emails that even she admits he copied into his book clearly show the sex was consensual

>> No.5522428

It's painful to witness all these tumblrites continue to violently accuse Tao of rape, unknowingly cementing that Tao will sue Kennedy for defamation. What a genuinely fucked thing to witness unfold in real time and while it really is E.R.'s fault it would've never been a big deal if some people didn't feel the need to "boost" some screencaps.

The only thing that's at all good about this is that jezebel might get sued.

He said on his facebook that he will happily give all royalties to her/him/xir/them/it, or order all publishing of RY halted forever if Kennedy wants him to.

Didn't Kennedy tweet that Jezebel is wrong and asked for it to get taken down? He shouldn't have deleted that tweet. Jezebel's story really is crap.

Someone should write a non-crap account of this, someone who actually read richard yates and knows what she's talking about.

it's been gone over in the older threads, ER was 16 and the age of consent in ny is 17
tao writes about it in RY and ER's tweets confirm it so there could be some sort of case for statutory

Does NY have a 5 year statute of limitations for stat rape?

>> No.5522486

She deserves to get sued. Rape of any kind is a serious allegation, and that people actually do falsely claim to be raped is why people don't believe when victims come forward.

>> No.5522492

>>5522479

Yeah but it's been more than 5 years so Tao can't be legally incriminated for it in NY anymore.

And let's be honest, fucking someone one year under the AoC who you're in a relationship does not make someone a "monster" to anyone other than soccer moms and fox news watchers.

Fun thing is she didn't accuse him of "real" rape, only implied it with ambiguous tweets.

All three of the threads about Tao Lin's rape allegations have been armchair analyses using the accuser's tweets, Tao's response, and Richard Yates. It's like when there was all that furor about finding the Boston Bombers.

i don't give a shit. I'm tired of people caring so fucking much about women and sex. who the fuck cares. it's entirely unreasonable that no woman should ever not have sexual encounters that she doesn't desire. it won't happen and i don't want to hear about it anymore
