[QUOTE]Vancouver Island University is facing a human-rights complaint that it failed to protect female staff who said they were being sexually harassed by a student who engaged in fetishistic behaviour in and out of the classroom.
The complaint is led by the school's former director of human rights and workplace safety, who says she was fired because she continued to investigate the matter that pitted the rights of employees against a student who argued his behaviour was a condition that needed to be accommodated.
She said the sexual-harassment claim is about empowering the women involved. Through her investigation she said she knows of six women who were harassed: two professors, two staff employees, one counsellor and one medical professional. She said the student's behaviour included following women to isolated areas, repeatedly asking them out on dates and leering.
Prof. Ledwell-Hunt said the university official later told her the student was threatening to file a human-rights complaint and was arguing he was being "discriminated against on the basis of his exceptionality." The official said the student also suggested he had a disability but did not immediately provide additional evidence, according to the e-mails obtained by The Globe.[/QUOTE]

[QUOTE]A 105-page complaint filed by the Nanaimo school's former director, Human Rights and Respectful Workplace, Katrin Roth, said the man's behaviour was treated as a disability when it should have been dealt with as a potential threat to female staff.
"He will not stop unless we make him," said Roth.
"I truly believe that he needs to be medically assessed as to whether he's a risk to the community."
CBC is not identifying the man who was involved in the complaint. He responded to a request for comment saying he was unable to speak about the matter for legal reasons.
"I will say I am special needs and 3, so I am not in my 40s," he wrote to CBC.
The student in his 40s asked to be treated as an infant, demanding children's books be read to him, speaking in a baby voice, wearing a soother, and even submitting a selfie of himself in a diaper to one instructor, said Roth. She believes that as soon as the university knew the student had what it terms an "atypical sexual drive that he may impose on non-consenting individuals" staff needed warning.
In the document she said he presented himself to female staff at different campuses — in several cases asking them to change his soiled diapers. Eventually he came to Roth complaining of discrimination.
English professor and chair of VIU's women's studies program Janis Ledwell-Hunt describes the man who was her student in spring of 2015 as somebody who left her fearful.
He handed in an essay with a selfie of himself in a diaper with a baby bottle and a soiled diaper. When she refused to accept it he became belligerent and she turned to VIU authorities for protection, says the complaint.
After the student was finally asked to leave her class in late May — after she raised numerous concerns — he then threatened to take his case to the B.C. Human Rights Tribunal because he was being discriminated against for his "exceptionality," according to documents filed with the tribunal.
Ledwell-Hunt believes he's no longer a student, but says he never stopped sending her messages — as recently as this month — at first complaining she wasn't sensitive to his "special needs" then saying he forgave her for "tattling" on him.[/QUOTE]
Ageplay diaper fetishists are nothing new, I'm amazed he lasted more than a single day. What a bizarre story.
That is horrifying
If he identifies as a 3 year old why the fuck is he at university? A better question would be why did the university take this mess of a persons side over one of their staff who was a victim in this case?
If he's into roleplaying as a 3-year old, wot's he doing at uni? Surely the best part of being an infant is having fuck all life responsibilities.

Goddammit.
maybe its just an avant garde protest
How and why do these people get accepted at universities

Yeah seems like people aren't buying it, bud
Holy shit, reading this makes me so goddamn angry.
guess he needs to be put in time-out?
jokes aside, there is no reason to be condoning nor supporting this ludicrous activity. There is protecting students' rights and beliefs, but a fetish is not a lifestyle. Especially not when being forced onto others (to the point of harassment) in a non-sexual and public setting

Hmm... A weird fetish like that is bound to be the result of developmental hang-ups from infancy or childhood. Especially in this case. It sounds like the guy needed help but never got any.

Thats total bullshit afaik
The dude's obviously a creep, constantly going after women and giving them a selfie of themselves in a shitty nappy isn't a disability, no matter how "exceptional" they call themselves.

I don't even know how the fuck the staff of that university was even putting up with that shit, let alone the students. I would honestly be peeved as all hell when I'm studying for an exam, and suddenly this fucking degenerate disgrace of a man runs by screaming ''PEEPEEPOOPOO'' with his soiled diapers while screaming how a teacher should change his soiled diapers. In all honesty, how the utter FUCK hasn't there been more complaints from him from other students, it would be sorta hard to miss this guy being a massive creep to the teachers in question by the looks of it. Or wouldn't it be considered tolerant on Canadian universities to report things like this?
There's nothing wrong with having fetishes, even some as bizarre as this. But they need to be kept private, like all fetishes.
Someone with a foot fetish who demand that their professors massage their feet would get reported for sexual harassment. This guy is taking his fetish and turning it into his entire identity, which means his behavior necessarily becomes sexually harassing. It'd be like going to class in bondage gear and asking your teacher for a spanking when you got an answer wrong - it's not appropriate, end of.
Like, seriously, if you want to pretend to be a literal infant in the privacy of your own home, go for it. Just don't impose your fetishes on others. Go find someone who shares that fetish and engage in it on your own time - don't demand your professors fucking read you children's books because you get off on pretending to be a child.
I should try pretending Im a three year old every time I get pulled over.

I'd argue that his inability to separate his fetish from his life is a rather clear sign that his mind isn't operating on a base level. Obviously he can function well enough that he can face disciplinary action and should know that what he's doing is wrong.

Some universities have completely full-circle on inclusion policies and rights that they're pubishing victims instead of perpetrators.
[QUOTE=RIPBILLYMAYS;52896332]How and why do these people get accepted at universities[/QUOTE]
The full article details how his behaviour seems to have emerged over time; he started wearing a pacifier to class and then the diapered selfies started and all that shit. So, it seems likely that he hid his freaky side when applying, and only after he got in the door did he let his real nature show.
Which, if true, only makes it even creepier: He knows how to be normal but after he got in he felt comfortable with selfishly pushing his fetishes on women on campus.

My guess is he was doing it as a way of riding on student loans instead of having a job. What's more infantile than dodging your responsibilities and having someone else pay for you to dick around at a place with lots of younger women for you to come on to?
The worst part is, this is my school. If this asshole harassed any of my former instructors I'm going to be unreasonably pissed off. :sick:

Sounds more to me like he's perfectly aware and he's just using this as an excuse to be a pervert in public without repercussion.

Yeah but being willing to shit yourself in public for sexual pleasure and imply you'd rape people, regardless of whether they justify it or not, is a sign someone is fucked in the head in a very real way. Being turned on by shit is one thing, not comprehending the basic human interactions necessary to understand why it's not okay to approach strangers and ask them to change your diaper is another thing completely, and one that probably requires some therapy and medication.

This is all true, unless you can claim your fetish or "age dysphoria" as a mental disability/get out of jail free card. The guy knows what hes doing is wrong, and he knows he cant get in trouble for it at a university unless he physically assaults someone.

[QUOTE]Psychological research has shown that [B]many fetishes appear to be the result of early imprinting and conditioning experiences in childhood or adolescence[/B] (for instance, where sexual excitement and/or orgasm is paired with non-sexual objects or body parts) [B]or as a consequence of strong traumatic, emotional and/or physical experience.[/B] Fetishes may in part be influenced by rejection of the opposite sex and/or by youthful arousal being channelled elsewhere (deliberately or accidentally). Some children have been said to associate sexual arousal with objects that belong to an emotionally significant person like a mother or older sister and is known as symbolic transformation. However, there is also evidence that some fetishes have more biological origins such as those people whose fetish results from conditions such as temporal lobe epilepsy.

Mate, this stuff was taught in my first year psychology class. I wrote my essay on child development and I can assure you that it's not total bullshit.

You are correct in that a lot of Frued's work is disputed, but your point is irrelevant as I am not referring to any psychodynamic theories. [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Imprinting_(psychology)"]Imprinting[/URL] and [URL="http://www.britannica.com/topic/conditioning"]conditioning[/URL] are both from the behavioural approach to psychology.

"Sir, you're far too young to be driving"
the best way to prevent all these fucking wierdos
is to be good parents
this is why a huge amount of thugs come from single-parent households (especially single-mother ones (because males commit the most crime and father/son bonds are the glue that keeps men from doing bad))
and also why things are going so badly
helicopter parenting isn't the way to do it
and neither is abandoning your children to the great unknown like others do
it's a damn shame this is allowed in any way, too
someone got fired over this freak rather than the freak getting help instead of just plain attention
Really not sure his claim of actually believing he's 3 years old is going to fly when he's out propositioning adult women.
I mean, I guess it would be a hell of a lot worse. At least he's not actually interested in 3-year-olds, and has only bothered women who have the power to get something done about him.
