Cybersex, Lies, and Virtual Rape

- Part III -

VIRTUAL RAPE

Well, dear readers, this is the last of what has been described as my rage against the IRC machine, which has lasted for several months. At times I write good humor, but that doesn't make me the Good Humor Man. At times I write very dark comedy, but that doesn't mean I constantly walk under a Schendi rain cloud. Usually, something in particular catches my fancy, and off I go writing on the topic. It might make me laugh while I pen the words, or it might make me grunt and become foul in mood. Invariably, it gives me gas… or perhaps that's just bad paga and tarsk rinds.

In any case, let us embark into the final segment of this trilogy, which will deal with the rape of a female across a vast network of telephone lines, fiber optic cables, modems, modem hubs, and even the airwaves if a cellular phone is involved. Seems like an odd concept, considering that the male organ, mine at least, is neither thin enough, nor long enough to reach the next room. So how is it that someone can claim someone oceans away on another continent can do such a thing? Well, on the surface, I would say that no one would ever allege such a thing, but as you can see, that is not true.

Interesting. A shame she doesn't keep logs as well as I, but this wasn't the first occasion of that particular slave discussing this "incident". That was, of course, the reason why I decided to pursue the issue further. So I entered that channel and asked the little slut about her remarks. After repeating the same bosk manure about not really knowing who, why, or when, I got this…

Not surprisingly, the girls was frantically paging her master to ride in on a white tharlarion to save her from the evil clutches of the mad would-be rapist master from the horrible lands of Dalnet. Of course, he came…

And so we went through it all again…. Now, before I get to the real meat of this piece, I want to note that the free man in the log above was not exactly concerned over the matter I had brought forth. I am sure you are all as shocked as I was, but pick up your jaws from the larma core littered floor and stay with me for a minute. I do have an apropos quote, but if you know me at all, I love going off on tangents not germane to the topic because…. Well, because I can.

So what was the fellow concerned about? Was it his slave being displeasing? No. Was it his property running about discussing free men to others? Nope. Was it a concern over a free man not receiving hospitality in his inn? No, it wasn't that either. Reread the second part of the log and see if you can figure it out before going on…

It seems it doesn't matter if slaves anger the free, and it certainly isn't proper to correct one by means of a slap. The slaves actually did it again while the man sat there, and nothing was said or done… except by me, of course. At one point, I went to the website to see what I could find. And there it was, I thought, a little button to click which said "Slave Rights", I had them now! I clicked…. It said, "Slaves have no rights"… and I was genuinely startled. What about a slave being able to kick a free man? What about slaves speaking freely without concern of reprimand? What about… this?

I am so glad that the little spying slave sent me this information. Without it, I would never have known the qualities of a "True Gorean Master". According to these events, one must come running to protect a slave from the horror of being confronted, allow a slave reign over free persons, and coddle a slave after she is corrected in order to be a "True Gorean Master". In addition, wait until another man has left channel before drumming up the testicles to set a ban and stomp around yelling about the injustice of it all. Aside from this lesson in true "Goreanness", The other item I garnered was this quote, which incidentally, brings me back to the original point of this article.

Ah yes, my friend Modred. Now, stop your gasping and pick up your jaw again. Yes, I used his name, and yes, I discussed the matter before writing about it. When I asked him if he had a reply to the accusation that he is a cyber-rapist, I got an answer that I probably expected, but was as concise as it could be. He said, "One cannot rape that which has no free will". Simple and to the point, but perhaps a bit of explanation on rape can clear up this matter once and for all. Generally defined by the dictionary, rape is "carnal knowledge of a woman against her will". For you dummies, "knowing" a woman means slipping her the manhood, and has since biblical times. If you don't believe me, tell a preacher that you know his daughter… but only in a biblical sense. It is sure to elicit a reaction. The difference between the preacher's daughter and a Gorean slave, is the fact that, while the preacher might try to limit it, the daughter has free will. Once a girl says, "I am a Gorean slave", she forfeits that will. Oh yes, she can howl about being a white-silk-owner-only-cherished-and-loved slave, and she can click on the little "X" and run away, but in the end her fate is decided by men. So then, can a slave be raped on Gor? Of course she can… Because John Norman wrote that using a slave and slave rape are the same damn thing.
