Ohhh, so THIS was the "consensual besteality" 'ol googly-eyes Patel was referring to...

[–] snooggums@piefed.world 24 points 4 days ago (1 children)

I am out of the loop here, but somehow not surprised.

The FBI quietly issued guidance this past spring lifting a categorical hiring ban on applicants who had previously engaged in prostitution, and said that it would instead consider the context of the behaviour in at least some cases. The bureau made a similar change regarding bestiality.

"We did not want to punish victims of bestiality, victims who were trafficked. We did not want to make it an automatic disqualification for the FBI to consider you,” Patel said.

If thay was what they meant they should have written about 'not excluding victims of' instead of 'consider the context'.

Thank you for the link!

I'm skeptical about the phrasing "engaged in prostitution", I think the beastiality bit is a smokescreen to distract from that part. I don't think the fbi has had to turn down a lot of former hookers, I think they've had to turn down lot of men who have "engaged with prostitutes" from the other end of the transaction. They are removing this restriction so they can hire more sexual predators.

(inb4 "not all men who hire prostitutes are sexual predators". I know. I'm a sex worker. The ones Donald Trump and Kash Patel want to hire are going to be sexual predators).

Legitimately thanks for that. That had stood out to me as "one of these things is not like the others" but my mind only went to sex workers, I did not think at all about men who bought prostitutes.

[–] Makeitstop@lemmy.world 23 points 3 days ago

If that was actually the intent they could have avoided all the drama by adding broader language to the entire document allowing exceptions on a case by case basis for prohibited behaviors which occurred while the applicant was a victim of trafficking and coercion. This sounds a lot more like an excuse made after the fact to defend an indefensible decision.

I really hope someone in congress follows up on this and demands to know how many agents were hired with these behaviors on their record, and of those how many had been identified as victims of trafficking. Make them go on record with it.

Uhh...who exactly are the "victims" in a bestiality incident? 🤨

[–] snooggums@piefed.world 6 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

Often prostitutes who are only doing it to survive or women who are being trafficked.

Those women are not applying to be in the FBI though, which is why I doubt that is who Patel is claiming are being kept from becoming agents.

[–] ttayh@lemmy.zip 6 points 3 days ago

The israeli iof used dogs to rape palestinians.

I am willing to put money down that similar things happened on Epstein island, his texas (I think it was texas) ranch, and in a certain florida golf club

Just because he's called "beast" doesn't mean he can't consent. This is just furry.

[–] AgentOrangesicle@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

Dogs aren't hot. Consent with a furry beast, however...

[–] Ch3rry314@piefed.social 54 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I'm just picturing her taking that knot like a champ.

[–] OwOarchist@pawb.social 40 points 3 days ago (4 children)

She had no idea he was going to transform into a human -- she was 100% ready for beast form.

[–] FinjaminPoach@lemmy.world 10 points 3 days ago (3 children)

TO BE FAIR i don't think any of the characters are supposed to know about sex. Not because they're in a kids disney movie, but because they're medieval peasants

[–] kreiger@lemmy.world 25 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Where do you think medieval peasants came from? Just sprouted from the ground?

[–] anton@lemmy.blahaj.zone 15 points 3 days ago (2 children)

Conquest of Elysium hive dwarves type concept.

[–] FinjaminPoach@lemmy.world 4 points 3 days ago
[–] CAVOK@lemmy.world 22 points 3 days ago (5 children)

I have a feeling that medieval peasants had a fairly good grasp of sex, seeing how they raised animals and all. They knew.

[–] renamon_silver@lemmy.wtf 10 points 3 days ago

Plus wtf else were they supposed to do

[–] grrgyle@slrpnk.net 2 points 3 days ago

They also didn't think birds had sex, so I don't put much stock in making the connection between humans and other animals. They probably didn't even see people as animals

Speaking monolithically

I know this so don't worry. They are, however, perfect and innocent unicorns, as any good fantasy novel with dragons will tell you.

kash is into dogs, not MAGICAL BEASTS.

[–] cardboardboxfort@lemmy.world 1 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

Kash has been in a happy relationship for 6 years now

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 2 points 14 hours ago

dont let dogs near KRISTI noem.

[–] NaibofTabr@infosec.pub 22 points 4 days ago (4 children)

Alternative interpretation:

This entire incident was a misguided, half-drunk attempt to make the FBI inclusive and welcoming for furries.

[–] wopalopa@lemmy.world 12 points 3 days ago (1 children)

they looked at their IT department and decided they should have more of those kind of people

[–] NaibofTabr@infosec.pub 4 points 3 days ago

Exactly, they were like, "shit all the people who know how to actually make computers work hate our fucking guts, how do we seem more friendly to them?"

[–] Duamerthrax@lemmy.world 7 points 3 days ago

This feels like misdirection away from something else going on, but there's so many dumpster fires all going on at the same time, it's hard to say.

[–] Kowowow@lemmy.ca 6 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Maybe include that elon still wants to make catgirls but they do want them to have human rights so lable them as animals but then you have to worry about beastiality

[–] Duamerthrax@lemmy.world 5 points 3 days ago (1 children)

"Human" catgirls would still be women and they're already attacking women's rights as it is. They would first need to overturn Bush II's ban on human-animal hybrids that promised better organ transplants.

Just fyi we hunt zooaphiles

[–] NaibofTabr@infosec.pub 4 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Oh I know, but try to put yourself in the mindset of someone who is prevalent to making snap judgments based on aesthetics, who has never actually interacted with any furries, looking at the furry community from the outside.

[–] PattyMcB@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

There's that rabid furry hate. Lol

Belle kinda hot

[–] notabot@piefed.social 3 points 3 days ago

Belle didn't mind a bit of rollplay to spice things up, but she was not impressed by Beast's suggestion of how she carry out her investigation. That wasn't standard issue equipment at all.

[–] nightwatch_admin@lemmy.world 7 points 3 days ago

All jokes aside, this was probably necessary in order for Patel to be employed.
