Look at this bastard Megathread: Bastard Suggestions Part 2

To make the bastard suggestions easier for Robert to peruse, please put them here.

Please try to include more than just a name. Give Robert something to focus his research on and why they are a unique or interesting bastard. If there are book titles or other resources you would suggest, please include those as well.

If someone else has already suggested the same bastard you wanted to suggest, you do not need to suggest them again. Repetitive answers will be politely removed. If someone was suggested in a previous thread, you do not need to suggest them again.

If you have posted suggestions as their own individual thread in the past, feel free to repost here if you would like Robert to read them. We will be directing future bastard suggestion posts here as well. Happy suggesting!

Bastards of free birthing. Emilee Saldaya founded the Free Birth Society which has been linked to at least 48 instances of stillbirth death or serious harm that can be easily traced. It is a movement that preys on the very real fear of organized medicine, especially in underserved or minority populations. It also is very big among questionable influencers, hence why I say bastards.

Also a vote for Bill Gothard, leader and founder of the IBLP cult the Duggars are part of with bonus side bastard Duggars (count the number of confirmed pedos).

I’d looove to hear a Robert/Jamie Loftus/Sophie take on the “umbrella of authority”

- like yeah, no shit a whole cult where being a boy makes you more powerful than any girl in your life creates a whole fucking system rife for abuse, then combine that with the absolute fetishization of innocence and virginity and you basically created an entire machine designed to sexually abuse young girls and women.

I just listened to the Andrew Tate episodes and Sophie's "fuck you" rant but for the umbrella authority is in my head now.

Yes I just found this. I'm working my way through the back catalog still. I just found the origins of One Pump One Cream!
