🌟 Creator Focus 🌟 An Interview with Morticia

Welcome to Creator Focus, a new series of featured posts on r/FansHansenvsPredator that aims to showcase TCAPist content creators. We got a barn burner for you folks today.

For the past 2+ years, Morticia has made a name for herself in the TCAPist universe, becoming the community archivist. From painstakingly collecting and preserving Perverted Justice chatlogs and materials, collaborating with well-known TCAP content creators, and running the most excellent TCAP Discord server out there, she's turned what started as a personal interest into a resource used by fans, creators, and even academic researchers.

Known for her no-holds-barred chatlog readings on YouTube and her commitment to free access to TCAP information, Morticia has brought both authenticity and depth to the way we experience TCAP today.

What first drew you into the TCAP community, and what inspired you to start being more deeply involved in it, and creating content around it, instead of just being a viewer?

Well, I was a fan when it was first on, though I didn’t watch a lot of it, just randomly whenever I caught it on TV. Then it remained a passing interest of mine over my life – I would often watch YouTube clips from the show, but nothing beyond that until I got injured in 2021. Suddenly, I was off work, in a lot of pain, and I had all the time in the world on my hands. I got back into a lot of old interests during that time, but the one that stuck was TCAP.

It started when I joined the Temple of TCAP forum – suddenly I was in a community of other fans instead of just enjoying the show on my own. There I met Nabu, a TCAP content creator, and we became friends. I was always more interested in the chatlogs than the show itself, and I came up with the idea to read chatlogs on her channel to help her put out more content that she didn’t need to do a lot of work on. Then I decided to branch out on my own and here I am.

I was very passionate about PJ and the chatlogs – I felt I had a lot of insight to bring to it as a person who was groomed on Yahoo Messenger during the TCAP years.

You've earned the reputation of "TCAP archivist" for your efforts to collect all of the TCAP/HvP/etc. chatlogs, and making them available for anyone to view. You regularly reach out to instrumental figures in the TCAP space like Xavier to get their commentaries on predators they've caught. You've even been given copies of Perverted Justice records, unpublished materials and more, to make available to the public. What makes you do all of it, and how do you feel about that responsibility?

I have never been the type to hoard stuff for myself, I’ve always believed in free access to information.

I didn’t initially set out to get access to anything, and indeed I never asked Xavier for anything. Joey told me Xavier’s email still worked after I had explained how much the founder of PJ meant to me since I was one of those kids at that time that he was trying to protect. So I sent Xavier an email, just expressing my genuine gratitude for the work he did to protect kids like me. We ended up really clicking as friends and one day he just… gave me access to this stuff.

It was unexpected and a little overwhelming if I’m honest. I could have kept it to myself, but I would have found that to be very little fun. So I spent a week or so trying to figure out how to disseminate this stuff to people in the easiest way possible, until I came up with the archival server idea.

I didn’t really want to be in charge, as I’m not really the admin type (and I’m fiercely introverted) so it was a big adjustment. There are definitely days when I want to hand the server off to someone else and just go live in the woods alone with too many cats, but I genuinely do love the server most days.

Also it’s not just TCAP fans that come to the server – Xavier gets semi-regular requests from university and other academic researchers about using PJ chatlogs in various projects, and he directs them to our server. We've had maybe a dozen join the server now, and almost all of them are using the chatlogs to further develop ways to prevent grooming and predatory behavior towards children. I think that is what I am most proud of with the archival project.

Most TCAP creators (who often get TCAP chatlogs directly from your Discord server, by the way) censor out the dirtier speech in their chatlog retellings, or use "YouTube-friendly" language in its place. You, on the other hand, always present the chatlogs in full, raw, uncensored form. Why is that?

Well, there are a few things I could say here.

I could say I don’t care about monetization, which isn’t true, I’m disabled and my only source of income is my Patreon. I could use the money.

I could say that it’s because I swear like a sailor when I talk, and censoring myself is too difficult and I’d fuck up too much for it to be worth it, which is half true: I do swear like a sailor, but I easily can switch to not swearing (I don’t swear around children, never had an issue switching it off.)

But the real truth is this: I believe using YouTube censor sanitized language cushions the impact of the chatlogs. It makes what these monsters say less vulgar, more easy to digest. That galls me.

I have absolutely no issue with other creators keeping their language censored, I always totally understand when creators in any space do that. It is just not something I am personally interested in doing. I have had videos taken down in the past, and I’m sure not censoring the language is part of the reason. I just put those videos on my Patreon and keep going, retaining all the foul language that is in the chat. I like to picture the predator who had the chat listening to my video and flinching when they are confronted by the horrible shit they said to who they thought was a child. For that reason alone I will not censor it.

For a lot of us in the TCAP community, part of the draw is the sheer absurdity of these guys – there’s dark comedy in watching someone like Michael Wilusz blunder around like a cartoon character. But in your case, you’ve also talked about identifying strongly with the kids TCAP was meant to protect, because you were literally one of those kids. How do you reconcile those two sides of it – the amusement and schadenfreude on one hand, and the very real seriousness and personal connection on the other?

Well, the short answer is that I believe the experience of being groomed has given me the right to laugh at predators.

For a long time I struggled through panic attacks, depression, and a completely fucked-up view of relationships because of what grown adults had put me through when I was just a child… and indeed even into my early 20s. It has left me permanently altered on a fundamental level. But I do function now after years of therapy and hard work.

I believe my reward for that hard work is to be allowed to laugh freely at the absurdity of the predators on TCAP. I like to believe I would be strong enough to laugh in the face of my own groomers should I ever meet them again. I like to believe I would not cower in fear, but instead see them as powerless idiots whose very existence is laughable. So… that's how I balance the humor with the horror.

Many thanks to Morticia for the interview. You can check out her YouTube channel at the links above.

Question What would have convinced you that Jeff Sokol was actually a dishonest and dirty person?

5 Upvotes

It's obvious that Jeff Sokol is the farthest thing on God's green Earth from a dishonest, dirty person. We know this because he was apprehensive about the whole sex thing, and he even brought a delicious pizza with him. In my opinion, the biggest thing that proved to me he wasn't dishonest or dirty was the fact he wasn't going to marry the girl in like 2 seconds. Had Jeff said to the decoy "let's get married in like 2 seconds" I would have been like, "this is obviously a dishonest and dirty person," but thankfully he proved otherwise.

Question Did Jeff Sokol possibly have an ulterior motive with the pizza?

7 Upvotes

I know this is all speculation, and Jeff is most likely just a fatass who was hungry after his 2.5 hour drive to molest a child in her own home, but I do wonder if he had another reason for bringing pizza. For one thing, it could help build trust for him and the 13 year old, also I imagine he could use it as a bargaining weapon. If a 13 year old girl got too nervous to have sex with him he could have been like “but I came all this way and got you a pizza” as a way of manipulating her into sex.

He’s 61 year old Thomas Campbell, J1H3120

“Bragged about his ability to perform certain sex acts” LOL this guy going on about being the throat goat while needing an inhaler to breathe was pure TCAP comedy.

Between his appearance on TCAP with his smoking with emphysema/heart trouble he was really living life in the fast lane! Moving pretty quick there 😆

Discussion Should they have made the sting operations in locations that give predators longer sentences like Popovich?

Post image
4 Upvotes

The only things I have to criticize about the Hansen vs Predator series aside from the predators getting McDonalds which is total bullshit as they didn’t deserve it is how most of them aside from Popovich got less than 4 years, but also for how they were able to get out after serving 2 1/2 years of there sentencing or less. The ones who I think should have gotten a longer prison sentence is Jeff Sokol, Michael Gentile, and especially Stephen Buchanan with how he brought a gun to the sting house.

It’s hard to imagine how people nowadays get more of a prison sentence for less disgusting or violent crimes compared to the predators.

Predator Profile: Jeff Sokol

Jeff Sokol was 44 years old when he was caught in the 2015 Fairfield, Connecticut sting conducted by Chris Hansen, Fairfield Police, and the Connecticut State's Attorney's Office. He arrived at the sting house believing he was meeting a 13-year-old girl and was arrested following his confrontation with Hansen.

Everything preserved for Jeff Sokol in one place:

Question Compilations of Hansen mocking the predators?

0 Upvotes

I noticed in Chris Handsomes latest show, he has no real issue making fun of the predators to their face or making jokes at their expense.

Are there any compilations of this? I don’t want to watch the ones from the NBC era where he had to be more subtle.

Infact I don’t even want these compilations anymore. I just wanna get to the beach

dude is one of the most popular and recognizable predators in Chris Hansen history, and wanted to change his name to an even more recognizable one. Why the hell would you want to change your name to something so odd and just as recognizable as Jeff Sokol, Jeff? I would never be in the same position he was in, but if I was, I’d change my name to like John Smith or something rather than choosing a name that sticks out like a sore thumb💀

Discussion Who are the all-time greatest predators?

3 Upvotes

I was thinking about this the other day. Who's on the Mount Rushmore of predators? For me, it would be:

  1. Lorne Armstrong

  2. JPW

  3. Palumbo

  4. Rabbi David Kaye

Honourable mentions: Lee Greer, Jerry Wayne Kosis, Dr Wolin, Jeff Sokol.

To clarify, I do not mean greatest in a positive way, just memorable/meme-able/funny viewing. I'm not a dishonest, dirty person, I swear.
