An interesting comment in a recent Reddit thread about the “AI sex cult” and Slutcon:

Here’s a sampling of what Aella, a key organizer of Slutcon and a fixture of the rationalist/AI safety social scene, has said previously on Twitter about rape, teenagers and consent, and power imbalances in sexual situations:

don’t like that about cat-calling! also she claims the “sister on only fans” thing was a prank but like, that’s a weird prank, dude

When I was a grad student at MIT, at some point one of my profs and I were walking over to LCS (Laboratory for Computer Science), and he referred to “those horny CS guys” over there. He was pissed about how they treated the few women there. These creeps have been around a long time I’m afraid

Playboy has a fairly extensive article about Aella's upbringing and dances around admitting she groomed her sisters into camming.

Just to confirm: was a young woman in 1970s. Hated being catcalled then; my woman and girl friends hated it, too. The older women I asked hated it. I doubt Aella asked anybody over 30 about what women "used to" like.

There’s a bit on I Love Lucy where they’re on a train and Lucy is worried someone is a “masher” (ie a groper) and Ricky just laughs her off. Women have always hated that shit, and men have always laughed at it!

She's such an idiot she can't figure out why women don't like cat calling?
Because it's gross and creepy and uncalled for.

I'm much older than this berk and neither I nor any of my peers ever experienced catcalling as a compliment. It was always associated with aggressive creepy men (and the implication that you maybe weren't modest enough / out at the wrong time/place / men gonna be men so protect yourself ladies!)

"only important for your body, not your livelihood or property"
i mean, no it tends to also be important there; BUT your body is literally you. it's not something you own that is separate. there should in fact be qualitatively different rules about qualitatively different things! jfc
Dustin@dustinn.bsky.social·2026-09-27T21:57:36.002Z#
so much of this is downstream of treating human society as a logic problem to be solved. Oh, the way we treat teenage consent is different if the partner is an adult? Ok? Why should it be perfectly consistent?

ohh, yeah, that March 2020 is extremely fundy-bias.
(and a very relevant part of Dr Eleanor Janega's book about medieval women, when it was an "of course" thing that women were the hornier, sex-obsessed ones, not men)
keri@keristars.bsky.social·2026-09-27T23:37:31.350Z#
actually, the consent stuff is pretty fundy, too. children as property/obedience to elders/any sin is as mortal as the worst sins

Disparaging the use of the term 'survivors' to describe rape victims is maybe the most offensive thing I've ever seen Aella say, and it's not exactly a short list.
Bonus awful points for trying to cloak it in this breezy 'I'm just ceaselessly curious' sort of way.
Pufferfish 🇪🇺@culturesurfer.eurosky.social·2026-09-27T21:10:43.095Z#
Survivors in this context means, that they did not kill themsleves yet. Aella does not see this.

I have no reason to think this is in fact the case but this reads very heavily like a victim of statutory rape or similar activity rationalizing not being a victim of abuse

All of this is revolting, but that jab at survivors is particularly loathsome. Wholesale dismissal of the trauma and lasting (sometimes fatal) impact of sexual violence.

I wouldn't touch her CNC views with a 10 feet pole, but that seems just her super weird way to point out murican laws around consent are based on puritanism (see also the drinking age) rather than any kind of psychological insight about understanding and power like happen in most european countries.
