    I bet there’s a non-zero amount of westerners who support this conflict and escalating it because they would get tons of vulnerable women flowing into their hands.

    There’s already sex pest websites and organizations that market the idea of human trafficking as “saving/rescuing” Ukranian women. A lot of especially treatbrained sex pests and potential predators don’t just want to creep on vulnerable women: they want to be thanked for it.

      they want to be thanked for it.

      I kinda think this is a result of the part of them that isn’t awful trying and failing to get them to realize this is bad, so they are left with guilt that they need their victim to absolve

        Main Character Syndrome at work. They can’t be bad for craving what they crave and they don’t want to stop, so it must be an act of heroism instead.
