So how many of you were at Aella’s birthday party?

I don't get the fascination with her. At all.

I just learned her real identity a few days ago after following some threads from the guy doxxing eigenrobot, realized I'd already heard of her father separately, and I think now my reaction to whenever I hear her mentioned, after whatever the newest escapade is, is just going to be feeling horrified that raising a child can turn out that badly.

I don't have daughters and always wanted one but sometimes imagine this kind of thing and wonder how I'd react. Not well, I'd imagine.

There is a reason honor-killing exists.

There is also reason why the "having a daughter is the ultimate and final cuck" copypasta has the power it has, that most men feel a sense of existential dread at the thought of having a daughter, and many #girldads find ways to cope and not think about it (especially if they don't have sons as a source of distraction and compensation).

Another example would be Mayli/Amelia Wang (real name: Kelly Baltazar), father was a Goldman Sachs vice president. She did hardcore porn immediately after turning 18, including Facial Abuse. Her father tried continuously to throw his balance sheet at getting her videos disappeared off the internet, but was not completely successful. Then he died.

Her fun little excursion doing things like rimming some tattooed greaseballs, vomiting on their cocks, and getting facialed can still be viewed on sites like Spankbank.

Then my friend has a strikingly beautiful daughter who is now 19, speaks two languages fluently and is studying to become a veterinarian. I suppose it's never too late for vomiting on cocks for cash, but one has to think positive.

Indeed, growth mindset 📈.

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!
