Friday Fun Thread for October 2, 2026

Be advised: this thread is not for serious in-depth discussion of weighty topics (we have a link for that), this thread is not for anything Culture War related. This thread is for Fun. You got jokes? Share 'em. You got silly questions? Ask 'em.

You understand this has involved posting things like court cases about childhood sex abuse? I have a wicked sense of gallows humor and I'm near impossible to offend, and I'm not offended here, it's just not fun or funny, which is the purpose of the FUN thread.

This material is not tamer than what is in Hollywood, unless you mean like Seven, but that is not a fun movie. Some 17 year old in a 90s comedy having sex with a friend's mom and it being played for laughs is not on the same axis.

Even if you were to find an apples to apples comparison (which I don't think you can) a real person being taken advantage of is a different thing entirely.

Edit: OMG I just checked, one of the court cases involved a man having sexual interactions with his 3 year old and 18 month old. There's zero chance you can find anything in Hollywood like that OMG.

That I'll admit I missed and if you're right then mea culpa. I was mostly going off the two prompts that spawned this thread.

EDIT: Using that history to prohibit routine teenage sexual awkwardness is still quite a leap.

After a certain level of misunderstanding I think it's fair to look a little more closely for everyone's safety.

The CW thread should be pretty close to anything goes, but Wed and Fri threads should be reasonable restricted.

What is this place?

This website is a place for people who want to move past shady thinking and test their ideas in a court of people who don't all share the same biases. Our goal is to optimize for light, not heat; this is a group effort, and all commentators are asked to do their part.

The weekly Culture War threads host the most controversial topics and are the most visible aspect of The Motte. However, many other topics are appropriate here. We encourage people to post anything related to science, politics, or philosophy; if in doubt, post!

Check out The Vault for an archive of old quality posts. You are encouraged to crosspost these elsewhere.


Why are you called The Motte?

A motte is a stone keep on a raised earthwork common in early medieval fortifications. More pertinently, it's an element in a rhetorical move called a "Motte-and-Bailey", originally identified by philosopher Nicholas Shackel. It describes the tendency in discourse for people to move from a controversial but high value claim to a defensible but less exciting one upon any resistance to the former. He likens this to the medieval fortification, where a desirable land (the bailey) is abandoned when in danger for the more easily defended motte. In Shackel's words, "The Motte represents the defensible but undesired propositions to which one retreats when hard pressed."

On The Motte, always attempt to remain inside your defensible territory, even if you are not being pressed.


New post guidelines

If you're posting something that isn't related to the culture war, we encourage you to post a thread for it. A submission statement is highly appreciated, but isn't necessary for text posts or links to largely-text posts such as blogs or news articles; if we're unsure of the value of your post, we might remove it until you add a submission statement. A submission statement is required for non-text sources (videos, podcasts, images).

Culture war posts go in the culture war thread; all links must either include a submission statement or significant commentary. Bare links without those will be removed.

If in doubt, please post it!
