Fun fact: People with certain proclivities often cannot conceive of other people not sharing those proclivities. In this case, a serial sexual assaulter and rapist assumes that all men are prone to the same behavior. This is a prime example of what is commonly known as a “self-report.”
I still can't believe the guy who wrote "Speaker for the dead", a book about still having empathy for people you are incapable of understanding, is a fucking homophobe.
OSC: ok, I've got the most far-out scifi idea EVER: what if - just hear me out, ok? - WHAT IF we could care about other people, even if they are different than you??!? [Makes "mind blown" gesture]
Editor: that's... that's just what most people do. It's called empathy.
OSC: no, no. Not like that. It's like... you know how Jesus said to love everyone, but he didn't actually mean, ya know know, those types -
Editor: I'm pretty sure he meant everyone. He was very clear about that.
OSC: no, he didn't actually mean everyone, because you CAN'T actually love those people [winking]. But want if you COULD?
