Vancouver: voyeur's 'special video' crime 'somewhat mitigated' by loneliness

[GrinitchSpinach]

Guilty plea will be stripped from his record in three years if he doesn't re-offend (or more likely, if he doesn't get caught re-offending, considering the psychologist who evaluated him considered him at "moderate to elevated risk" of doing so.)They haven't even published his name, just his initials, P.B.D.

The court heard that P.B.D. does not have much sexual experience and spends most of his free time alone, playing video games. He enjoys watching online videos of women who've been secretly recorded, and told the psychologist who interviewed him that he thought it would be "more special" if he made his own video.

The psychologist concluded that P.B.D.'s "desire to record unsuspecting females [is] a response to his chronic loneliness and frustration and inability to develop an intimate relationship, for a period going back some 15 years," the judge said.

You're lonely because you spend all day playing video games and masturbating to women filmed without their consent? Boo fucking hoo, P.B.D. Women owe you NOTHING, you repulsive incel, and unless you begin to understand this, you will die alone after a sad, empty life.

FFS. Seriously?

That's depressing.

Canada is fecked.

The psychologist concluded that P.B.D.'s "desire to record unsuspecting females [is] a response to his chronic loneliness and frustration and inability to develop an intimate relationship, for a period going back some 15 years," the judge said.

Another of example of women made me do it, nasty women wouldn't have sex with him so he decides that filming them without their knowledge and wanking to it is a reasonable response.

It's amazing how courts bend over backwards to excuse sexual crimes. It's as if they don't see the victims.

Would it work in other cases? If I found it difficult to get along with people and therefore couldn't hold down a job, would I be looked at sympathetically if I robbed a bank to make ends meet?

This makes me think of that creep economist Robin Hanson, who compared a hungry man stealing a loaf of bread to an incel committing rape, and asked why we're so much more sympathetic to the hungry person. 🤔🤔🤔

In my naivety, I originally couldn't understand how that is even a question, but more and more, I get it. You are right, Zutt. They don't even see the victims.

This is a good actual example of what could easily happen in gender-neutral/mixed sex toilets as is being advocated over here.

Presumably the male was entitled to be in there, as it seems it was a self-contained cubicle, with basin, rather than 'the ladies'. These facts really should have been clarified.

How can UK schools and universities ensure that this will never happen in their new gender neutral toilets? Can you imagine a teenage girl getting videoed in school, dealing with her period? Maybe not recorded with a phone but an easily sourced less detectable device.

It wouldn't be rocket science to set something like that up; why make it easier for the perverts? Or are females now expected to conduct a search before they can pee in private?

Or are females now expected to conduct a search before they can pee in private?

It’s such a big problem in south Korea at te mo that women routinely check stalls for cameras and many carry jars of vaseline etc to obscure the lenses of caneras they find. I’ll admit to paying more attention to my surroundings in mixed sex UK toilets since I read about on the BBC.

Why is it women are seen as fair game for just existing? I want to buy an island and a shotgun for my dd.

I genuinely think a Women's lobbying group needs to start training the powers that be to see women as people.

he thought it would be "more special" if he made his own video.

I had to read that sentence twice, as I wasn't sure if was quoted as he thought that 'he' would be more special, etc.

First of all, it didn't surprise me and secondly i just thought ain't that the damn truth.

So many of the men under this pseudo-protective armour/umbrella think they're special and attempt to cultivate an eccentricity that they simply don't have.

There's an episode of Absolutely Fabulous, where Edina is being her usual self and Saffy tells her off and says (or words to this effect) 'stop trying to find yourself endlessly fascinating'.

Wise words there from Saffy, i'll be bound.
