I have a fundamental question about this case: was he there physically with her? Coercion is one thing, but the word "force" implies he was somehow in control. I am in no way defending him, but it reeks terribly of the "look what you made me do" vibe and I feel somewhat uneasy about how this played out.
Omegle was a piece of the internet I never partook in. It never appealed to me to talk with random internet people. Perhaps I don't understand why he had power over her.
Edit: thanks, I everyone. I get it from a subjective position.
One can have leverage over another person by threatening to harm oneself or someone else.
There's been many cases in omegle of people threatening "show me your boobs or I'll kill this pet". If the victim complies, the agressor may continue through blackmailing.
Jesus man, you can't be serious. That is like the epitome of all the "I'm better than you" condescension I've seen so far, and I'm not even a quarter way down your profile page
That's a pretty flimsy line of thought. You're losing your edge, bud.
Of course, the point is that only a narcissist would think to compare a child in this situation to themselves in an attempt to find fault, but that's gonna go over your head because you're just around to disagree.
Anyway, this is just another example. I'm not gonna engage more than that
I honestly can't tell if you're still trolling or you really don't get what's wrong with what you said. It's great. You're an awful human being either way
That's the spirit. Broad stroke denial. Of course you can't be wrong! You literally don't know how to admit fault! That's why you're so condescending all the time, because you are unerringly, always right.
I guess it makes sense that you have to be a narcissist to play a troll so well.
There that stonewalling I've been expecting for awhile now. Back to that tactic now that the insults aren't working, huh?
I'm proud of you, bud. I'll be around. There's nothing quite like poking an internet troll while they're in the middle of something.
