As someone who studies sex offenders, I suppose I'm supposed to weigh in on that article. You know, THAT one discussed on the last day of #ASA2022 published in QR that I won't link. (Content warning: sexual violence) 1/8
First: I have no idea what the IRB was thinking. Purposefully inducing a physical sexual response to drawings of children "for research purposes" is wildly irresponsible. While studying those who cause harm is necessary, trying to become them is not. 2/8

I used to be tight with B I even had her crash at my pad when she was in LA doing her fieldwork. She a out of towner of course. For years I had shared copies of my work with her pre-publication even though she had never shared anything she was working on with me. 2/
