Another cutter down...

It seems Her Majesty's law enforcement has finally caught (https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/17565800/ ... ated-film/) up with the person who ran the site which shall not be named.

Of course, since it's from The Sun, it's a sensationalistic headline to make us all out as freaks. Did you know we're all part of a cult now?

NOTE: The photo associated with the article isn't related to the people involved here; it is a new arrest.

Remember kids, if you want to be castrated or nullified, use a doctor! There are legitimate options to get this done now which didn't exist 10-15 years ago.

Castrated Live. On Film.

Here is another article on it.

Isn't that picture the chef guy who castrated himself, cooked his testicles, and then served it to people who paid to be at his dinner?

I noted the photo wasn't of the person arrested recently, and both articles went on at length about the Japanese person in the photo and what they did, and had very little to say other than calling people with dysphoria members of a cult. They clearly are going only for shock value or are being lazy in their reporting.

Scratch that, they're doing both.

I thought the media in the US was bad. Apparently in the UK the media is worse.

I am surprised it didn't happen earlier

Same here. The site seemed a bit too cavalier about what they were doing, in my opinion, and I expected that the "band it twice, chop it off, and immediately go to the emergency room" technique they used would eventually catch up with them. Fortunately it ended before someone had a serious health consequence, or worse.

Do we get T-Shirts? "Member of the Nullo Cult". We all gotta get secret decoder rings too. Gotta be able to read our secret messages from the Great Leader, Paolo....or is it Jesus...or maybe LT?

Jokes aside, because the "cult" thing is just rage-inducing and needs a dose of humor added to keep us from getting too pissed, please do use a legitimate doctor/surgeon. There are PLENTY of choices nowadays and I'm sure one of us will be happy to point you in the right direction.

If you don't know the secret knock, you can't come to the meetings.

The cult thing was sloppy and lazy reporting for no reason other than to get attention for those publications advertisers. What I'm frustrated about is the timing, as it's the last thing the community needs with the SOC due to be published soon.

A view from the UK ----

Things here are very bad at the moment from the perspective of sexual minority rights, and the country has been criticised internationally recently for rowing back on LGBT rights. All this falls into the same movement that is characterised by the 'gender critical' movement, which has been shown to be a smallish band of activists funded by the American right wing, aiming to destabilise the modern progressive consensus. The impact of this has been increased by a rightwing newspaper media, and by government appointments to institutions like the BBC (British Broadcasting Company) and EHRC (Equality and Human Rights Commission) made by the openly transphobic Minister for Women and Equalities. All of this has been called out by the majority of UK LGBT charities, and by respected international bodies. Indeed, New Zealand has even accepted trans people from the UK as recognised refugees.

Not all of the UK, or even the party in government, shares the regressive views, but the trouble is that people who are doing damage are in positions where they can. It is alarming and embarrassing as a UK citizen, and hopefully things change soon.

I don't know about all the other Admin's, but I was contacted by "the site which must not be named" (or someone from it) and I flat out said NO to any promoting on this site.

Of course, users of that site were welcome here, so long as they didn't mention "them".

I'm amazed that they lasted as long as they did. They were even promoting it on Tumblr, before the great 'porn' purge.

And for anyone here who might be interested, or concerned, NO - THE EUNUCH ARCHIVE WAS IN NO WAY, SHAPE, OR FORM AFFILIATED with these people!

Well, with no more gate keeper (EU) of course the UK was bound to regress. The island nation was one of the last in the European region to remove homosexuality as a crime. If I were gay and British, yeah...I'd be looking for shelter too, and just so no one thinks this is American superiority, I'll say the same for America too, one more right-wing nutjob populist president and we'll all be outlaws.

The person I have the most empathy with is Trent, the young man who Theo convinced to castrate himself and remove his own penis on video, which Theo then used to launch the site that shall not be named.

I believe Trent didn't do anything he wasn't pre-disposed to doing anyhow. Unfortunately, he's gone down a rabbit hole of conspiracy theories I'm not sure he'll recover from.

We really reached out to Trent (and I wonder if he sees this?) to come to the MOMs - if nothing else, so that we could FEED the poor boy. I guess that's the paternal instinct in me? Certainly looked underfed to me.

I just hate knowing that the MET now have a lot of information on me thanks to my profile, pics and vids I had on the site before EM closed it down. I was amazed it took them this long to find them. Must have been lurking somewhere.

[Losethem (imported)]

I'd not worry about it. So long as you're not one of the folks who did this to others, they are more likely to treat you as a "victim." That, and it's not worth their time to pursue you in another country if you were not doing anything other than viewing the site.

[justapup (imported)]

Fair points! I will fret on it no longer.

[pauazul78 (imported)]

I bought 3 videos on that site and now Iam freaking out about that. I should have been wise not to be involved in all of this. Do you guys think downloading content there is punishable?

[fhunter]

I highly doubt it.

[ToTheQuick (imported)]

Jurisdictions vary so wildly that you'll want to do some research there.

[Paolo]

I would say it's a safe bet that they don't want to spend the money on chasing down anyone who is an adult who patronized the site.

It's much like taking a company to small claims court in a small/remote jurisdiction. You want to sue for, say, $1,000.

Sending a rep there would cost them more than that, so you win be default when they don't show up.

[Losethem (imported)]

There is a marked difference between watching a video and making the video. In my experience, nobody has been prosecuted for seeing the material, it's the people who created the material who get in trouble. Now, that's no guarantee, but I'd expect you're in a much better position not to worry than you might think.

[pauazul78 (imported)]

thankyou so much for all the answers - Iam a bit more calm now

[HumanFly]

It's illegal if it involves children (under 18). Downloading pornographic material involving adults is legal, even if the nature of it meant making it was a crime.

I fear it's under fed and over drugged. So sad, just breaks my heart.
