Rumour Jon Patton

[Wosh]

Just a reminder not to cross the line, BF does have rules we all abide by regarding mental health issues and unacceptable comments and jokes. Feel free to discuss any topic reasonably but please think before you post.
And please stick to the topic only.
Thanks.

Pretty alarming that these woman are publicly naming themselves and being interviewed by the news. That spells doomsday for Patton. This is going to get a lot uglier.

 

[Gralin]

You are avoiding the question and issue though.

Are Paton's actions responsible? Would you be happy for your direct family to receive unsolicited penis pictures?

I'm not happy with someone I don't know getting treated like this.
I also know that this is common for women to experience and it doesn't have to be a footballer in the other end of the phone

I bet there’s a lot of nervous footballers out there at the moment. Can’t be the only one and usually there is a pile on nature about this sort of stuff once one or two come out.

It's common throughout society unfortunately

 

[LanceRomance]

I am not sure what is worse, the fact he sent the dick pics or the comments he made when one of the girls rejected him.

Damian Barrett’s Sliding Doors says...

IF the girls hated receiving the unsolicited dick pics from Patton back then, THEN they would be absolutely loving outing him for it now.

I'd laugh it off and feel sorry for the bloke. Beauty is that you can block these callers now.

If he laid an unwanted hand on my daughter though. Well.....

 

[Lavender Bushranger]

Cannot believe how common this is amongst younger men these days, was talking to a female friend who is back onto the Tinder scene and she told me she gets dick pics all the time from guys who want to date her. Seriously WTF are they thinking? She led me to believe that many men think this is normal behaviour these days. I just don't get it but maybe I'm getting old!

What happened to a mix tape?!

 

[Lavender Bushranger]

past tense? Hawthorn Football Club have to stick by their player here. He needs counselling and support for the rest of his contract.

But sometimes 'support' can (and should) involve consequence for your actions.

Sometimes the best form of support is to make someone accountable.

Laughing it off is the same as condoning it. It brings the action of sending unwanted sexual photos to the level of a joke.

 

[Golden_6]

Would the repeated unsolicited dick pics and videos to multiple women be classed as sexual assault? Would certainly come under sexual harassment.

It’d be interesting. How is okay to send these pictures to people who quite clearly not want them, but not okay to expose yourself to someone in public? To me they’re much the same.

There's 100+ that could come out lol

You asked my opinion. You can have yours.
There are worse crimes, is my point.

 

[edgie]

50 years ago he’d be that dirty flasher in the park.

Needs to be sentenced to having his wang slammed in the door half a dozen times to teach him some manners

Sentence should be having clips of him playing with his wank leaked... that would clear it up for good I reckon.

 

[Linda_Lovelace]

Feel sorry for Patton, probably developed this habit whilst stuck in bed with all the knee recos, not like the could get out and about, lot of spare time and he has needs like all young men.

As a person who grew up before this shit was invented I just do not get it. But then again some people like getting under glass coffee tables so each to their own.

I'm 100% certain some girls would think it's an attractive thing to do and 100% some girls lie about finding it disgusting. Throw a hundred dick pics out there, save the time of doing the chatting up, if only a couple get a positive reception, it was worth it.

It might be a good idea to quite whilst you are a long way behind.

It reeks of "I will defend the indefensible because he plays at my club - however I will be outraged and post incessant derogatory comments if someone from another club were to do the same thing".

So 99% of posters on here?

 

[Mentallo]

Literally blown his chances of entering the celebrity jungle one day.

Literally "blown" up in his face from what I read this morning as well.

I completely agree with you.

The Patton stuff is concerning due to the number of woman coming out, if this was a couple of girlfriends, then who are we to judge? It genuinely seems like he used these dating apps to take advantage of woman and treat them with absolutely no respect. Did he ever intend on finding 'love', or was it all just about amusing himself during Covid?

 

[Cdog71]

True, I’d never lick a chicks foot.

He’d want to get his sequence right.
Athletes Foot in your bung hole...nobody wants that

 

[LanceRomance]

As soon as Patton saw Clarkson craft a hole in the wall he knew that Hawthorn was the team for him.

If they were to criminalise it, it would cause an explosion of cases in the court system - but might discourage people from doing it. It's the continual problem of the legal system being slower to change and adapt to new technology than society adopts it.

But I agree - the sending of unwanted explicit pictures should be an offense. It does create a potential issue of consent - what counts as acceptable interest from another party before the pics can be sent.

One thing I have often wondered is why cannot the access to the internet etc be removed from people with serious convictions - such as child pr0n offenses. Why cannot all the Telco's simply agree not to provide Person X with an internet or phone service ??? Perhaps if Patton lost his ability to send such pictures for 6 months, he might learn from it.... Is access to the internet a basic right for everyone ??

(sorry for the slight/massive tangent....)

That's what it is. He throws 100 darts and even if only 1 or 2 girls are interested, which let's face it some will be, he gets his fun for that week and moves onto the next.

It's still mega creepy and gross behaviour though (the unsolicited part, nothing wrong with consensual or mutual flirting/sexting/images), but why I think he's a creep is if the end goal is to have sex with random women, he could quite easily accomplish that just being a wealthy, athletic looking pro athlete and there's 100 places in Melbourne he could find a new woman a week and have sex. There's an element to this that says this guy is not quite right and a real weirdo.

Still, for an AFL footballer to sexually harrass this many women, that can't be good for his career prospects.

 

[edgie]

... and there's 100 places in Melbourne he could find a new woman a week and have sex....

Not in Melbourne in 2020 there wasn't.

Are you kidding? That’s the exact vehicle he will use to get the public back on his side. Fev showed how it works

Yes, the "cancel' generation cant get enough of flirty reality TV.
