Comment on Algerian man found alive after 26 years in neighbour’s cellar
IzzyScissor@lemmy.world 1 month agoWhat? Where did you get that? No one is saying that, and also that makes no sense.
I’m saying that the reason for the kidnapping in the first place might have something to do with homosexuality being illegal. If you would already go to jail for consensual sex, the threat of jail for kidnapping/rape isn’t as menacing.

Nah, it tracks. In a bizarre, backwater country where homosexuality is persecuted, it is possible that the kidnapper (perhaps both men)…to borrow from your words…enjoy acting on the tip. 😏
Things aren’t always as they appear & we might not know the truth. We know only what they tell us. A man being restrained in a sheep pen for 26 years? A man “put under his captor’s spell”? At this point, it is remotely plausible that this great war was seen as an opportunity to run away from his family, disappear entirely & be presumed dead, to live with his lover that he knew. ¯\(°_o)/¯
