So are we slut shaming people now?

Who said anything about that? I have yet to see any shaming in this thread.

Putting it up for ridicule is shaming. If its safe, sane and consensual, let them play.
I think it was put up because itâs amusing. I donât think anyone here really disapproves. Itâs just an oddity, something quirky, and BBâs all about Wonderful Things, after all.

Iâd agree if the original poster, by which I mean the chasee, agreed to this. And, to be fair, he posted on a public site. But I feel we should be better, as a group, then to laugh at him for his personal proclivities. It seems mean spirited to mock him in a public forum this way.
Um, you might want to go back and re-read the post. Admittedly, Robâs headline is pretty confusing. The person who posted on Craigslist sought a chasee, not someone to chase them. I seriously doubt any of the longstanding Happy Mutants are going to judge either the chasee or the chaser. It may be a bit out of the ordinary, but then thatâs pretty much weâre about around here, and frankly itâs certainly no more S&M than your average kinkters, which I donât doubt we have a few of here.

As a runner this weirdly appeals to me. I am not fast like I once was, and in peak shape I didnât put too deep a dent into under 20 minutes for a 5k. But still, I felt fast as hell. Yeah, itâs weird, but I could see the fun as the chased.
The chaser I donât get. It is a little rapey.

If you canât handle people getting a kick out of your hobby, and finding it a little amusing, then youâve got skin like graphene. Which is to say, astoundingly thin.
I donât think anyone hereâs making fun of this guy, and I personally am not laughing at him. If anything, I think itâs kinda cool. It conjures up a funny mental image, and the specificity of this guyâs ad seems like heâs put a lot of thought into this. Canât fault him for knowing what he wants out of the situation.

What movie is that from? That style of claymation looks so much like Wallace and Grommit.

Assuming, of course this isnât a wild goose chase.
The more Napoleon Dynamite details about high fiving and Facebook posting and such still make me think someoneâs pulling a fast one just to see the reaction run wild.
Frankly, in the long run we run the risk of finding out it was no run-of-the-mill ad and weâve been pretty much running in circles.
Iâll just let this discussion run its course. Itâs already running out of steam.

It is by Aardman, but Iâve never seen the film myself:

Aardman explains it. I never saw the pirates movie. Off to âNetflixâ.
Goddamn it itâs not there. These days it seems more like Nyetflix⌠âSpeak into toaster, âI vant nyetflix,â and in 16 to 27 months, dvd movietape shows up in post for vcr. Tell no one what you see.â

My girlfriend still pays good money for Netflix, even though her main interaction with it is scrolling through for half an hour or more saying, âthis is fucking shitâ then asking me to torrent something for her.

Yeah⌠I have netflix too. But itâs for the whole family. So, thatâs 5 people. Plus animals we put sedate documentaries on for when we leave.
I donât know if they like listening to Ken Burns talk about the Civil War for six and a half hours. But dammit, I want them to feel like theyâre not neglectedâŚ
The old folks actually do get a lot out of the documentary selection. But Iâd really wish there were a solution for anime dubbed in English. Iâm what you might call a thorough reader", I donât read very fast, because I read âword-for-wordâ and have a very high level of reading comprehension. Skimming does nothing but confuse me. So I prefer English dubbed anime with subtitles cuz I donât hear so great either. The raver lifestyle has its impacts. I donât have sharp canines (teeth grinding) or good hearing.
Aaaaaanyway, Netflix+Amazon Prime lets me get a lot of stuff legally, but Iâll be damned if I sign up for several different anime distributors. One should be plenty. And it really should be Netflix or Amazon. I shouldnât have to sign up to Mad Dog, and Pioneer, and Funimation, and and andâŚ

We? You.
But I feel we should be better, as a group, then to laugh at him for his personal proclivities.
that is a fascinating piece of passive aggression. This is a group (your word) you nominally joined on Jan 27.
Welcome, dear leader.

Perhaps itâs a homophone, and the person would like to be chaste.

I agree. but you have to know the first month is free for a good reason, and that Netflix, like all exploitative relationships, will have ever diminishing returns. AmazonPrimes catalog is getting similarly thin. I may wind up with only acorn.tv before long.
