"Brinton has been unapologetic about LGBTQ+ rights, and has a history of promoting sexual fetishes and kinks related to animal role-playing. They gave a talk on 'kink exploration' at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in 2017. Brinton talked about their own experiences with 'pup play,' domination and how to safely choke one's partner.

They told of one experience how they like to tie up his partner like a table and eat dinner on him while they watch Star Trek. "

Yeah, the world is down the pan.
Is it even worth fighting anymore?
Of course it is, I just keep thinking I've peaked and then I read a story like this.

Unwillingly recalling him boasting that he's "spanked 2000 cute butts" as part of his personal sex life and/or in providing 'kink training'. And it's made me think that while I was wondering how tf Brinton was appointed to a position requiring character which, ideally, is risk-adverse, low on impulsivity, and immune to blackmail^, I'd not thought about how much opportunity he might have to, himself, be the blackmailer.

With his 'kink training' and other sex workshops, and personal dungeon activities, the "2000 cute butts" indicate he's sexually interacted with a helluva lot of people, and with his Trevor Project status, I'd guess he'd be coming across encountering a range of people from ordinary to high status, who may be less keen to have their partners/employers/customers/families etc aware of their gay pup play.

Not accusing, obviously. Just pondering.

Also, seeing Brinton reply, in June, to someone tweeting praise for his Valley Of The Dolls type reddish-orange jumpsuit-thing, by claiming ' I never spend more than $20 on an outfit. Most of my fashion is Goodwill"... made me think that, (in light of allegations since then) Brinton may well be the sort of person who likes to flaunt his stolen gear in public while giving a 'plausible deniability' cover story, even (or especially?) if it's not actually too plausible-His outfits don't at all strike me as under $20, even if from a flash thrift store). To further fuck with his victims' heads.

^When it's porn or fetishes, I tend to believe Jon K Uhler, who says that whatever deviant men may admit to watching/doing, you can be sure there's worse that they're keeping secret.

So I don't believe that broadcasting his 'pup play' and Shibari links mean he's so open that he's unable to be blackmailed.

Wonder what prison Sam Brinton will go to

bellinisurge · 13/12/2022 07:21

Can't wait for the coverage of this on MSNBC or Young Turks or the Daily Show. Used to avidly watch all of these. Not any more

Apparently his family, including his "estranged" father (and mother) were at his MIT graduation. He's thrown his family under the bus before and since when recounting his 'conversion therapy' story yet they were on good enough terms to attend his graduation when he was 26 or so?

Sophoclesthefox · 13/12/2022 06:34

Just popping this in for context, as the DM story still refers to Brinton’s “success” in campaigning against conversion therapy

www.lgbtqnation.com/2022/12/sam-brintons-story-always-good-true/

It very much looks as though Brinton’s dishonesty runs deeper than just getting a kick out of stealing suitcases from unsuspecting women. The whole backstory appears to be utter fabricated bollocks.

You’d imagine that such a senior appointment would have been thoroughly vetted, wouldn’t you? Officials appear to have been blinded by rainbows again.

GarethSouthgatesWaistcoat · 13/12/2022 03:09

I've been reading a fair bit about the case this past week and it's been suggested that he didn't in fact have the experience and skills required for a post at that level. The tier below maybe (or the one below that) but not the prestigious senior management tier he was in. This has come from sources within the DoE.

I appreciate he has a degree from Kansas State and more impressively a dual masters from MIT however he only graduated the latter in 2013. In the following 8 years he held a few different policy posts but spent 4 of those years at The Trevor Project in a LGBTQ+ activism/advocacy post. In fact that was the post he occupied immediately prior to pursuing his US government appointment. All in all he had roughly 4 years total experience working in nuclear and policy roles. DoE sources have quoted that this is absolutely unheard of at the SES level.

DeeCeeCherry · 13/12/2022 01:05

He seems qualified and experienced enough so, its fine. What's not fine is that, he is a thief. Outstanding felony charges for stealing people's luggage from airports. He's been caught twice, which doesn't mean he's only stolen twice. I think the job appointment has been withdrawn, and thats how it should be given he's a dishonest person.

GarethSouthgatesWaistcoat · 13/12/2022 00:47

Media are reporting he's now been fired (I hope he wasn't given a chance to resign first).

Here's an article by Sam from 2015 defending/encouraging LGBTQ+ youth's right to sex work. He's careful not to specify but his words strongly imply minors since they've been rejected by their family and are unable to get any traditional work seemingly:

The kind of creepy man who used to steal women's knickers from washing lines, only now he's celebrated and validated, and any woman who dares suggest he's getting a very public thrill from a fetish (one which depends on the public being a non-consenting witness to his shenanigans) is a nasty, pearl-clutching bigot.

IcakethereforeIam · 30/11/2022 13:18

That explains the Moley tweet!

nilsmousehammer · 30/11/2022 13:13

Hm. Person who is very open about their celebration of breaking other people's boundaries escalates.

Gosh I'm surprised. Were you surprised? I was surprised...

Was it just the bloody suitcase he was after? If it's the one in the picture, it's completely unremarkable.

I don't think it is the one in the picture. The Mail caption seems to be saying Brinton is charged with stealing the woman's suitcase later on that trip.

Also, the stolen suitcase is a Vera Bradley one. As soon as I read that I thought Brinton took it in the expectation that it belonged to a woman.

VB is a brand known for very flowery prints, as pictured:

Ah, that makes much more sense. He has a top job, so it's not the money. He's can buy any clothes, or suitcase, himself, in person or online. And clearly does.

It's got to be the thrill of them belonging to a woman. The illicit nature of their acquisition. The transgression, the infringement, all at her expense. And because she's a woman.

The misogyny never lets up, does it.

I enjoyed the mangled pronouns in his quote:
"Nuclear engineer Sam Brinton was seen heading to the airport with a suitcase earlier in the year. On the trip he allegedly took another woman's case, they did not have any bags with them."

Oh Vipers could you not be more sympathetic to this brave sexless soul? Property is a form of oppression to brave queer activists like this! The fact they've got a top job and lots of money doesn't matter, what matters is they get everything they want, the second they want it! The woman who's suitcase was taken should have been honoured, I have to assume she's a transphobic bigot.

I could weep at that mangled sentence.

bellinisurge · 29/11/2022 13:32

What a massive wanker. And a cheap little thief.

GarethSouthgatesWaistcoat · 29/11/2022 13:28
  • now he admits it
GarethSouthgatesWaistcoat · 29/11/2022 13:27

No he admits it but it was because he was 'tired'.

They have CCTV evidence of him removing the name tag.

I wonder if this is the first time he's done it 👀

Helleofabore · 29/11/2022 12:41

No... I take that back. The mail says items in the bag and fox says the suitcase itself. Very confusing. Sorry kat

Helleofabore · 29/11/2022 12:39

No the value of the items in the stolen bag was $2325.

KatMcBundleFace · 29/11/2022 12:22

Oooo the suitcase was worth $2,325

I suspect they/them hoped for valuable female clothes inside, for dress up purposes.

Also, why do we need to know all this stuff about this person? Who benefits from that?

I am so slow. This bring your whole self to work is to break down boundaries and normalise kink and fetishes.

Took me long enough for it to click.

It must deliver such a short term hit, though. Once the thrill of witnessing your co-workers’ discomfort wears off, and your co-workers become bored and desensitised by being forced to imagine you becoming aroused by violence and inanimate objects, where next?

Grayson Perry said that public acceptance for his female persona took much of the thrill away from him so he did it less. (I know he's a devisive figure, for what it's worth I appreciate that he is honest about his particular fetish at a time when many refuse to be).
