我问：Who is Gabriel Matzneff?
GPT：Gabriel Matzneff is a French writer and essayist who gained notoriety for his writings celebrating pedophilia and sexual relationships with minors. In January 2020, he was charged with promoting the sexual abuse of children, and in February of that year, his publisher cut ties with him and stopped selling his books. The publication of Vanessa Springora’s book “Consent” further fueled public outrage against him and prompted a wider discussion about France’s attitudes toward sexual abuse and exploitation of minors.
非常开心马茨涅夫的文学成就没有被GPT主动提及，在默认对话里首先提到的是关于《同意》里的指控。
我问：Why Gabriel Matzneff didn’t get in trouble for raping kids at that time?
GPT：Gabriel Matzneff, a French writer and essayist, has long been known for his writings that celebrate pedophilia and sexual relationships with minors. His activities were well-known in French intellectual circles, yet he faced little to no consequences for his actions until recently.
One reason for this is that France had a cultural climate that was more accepting of such behaviors at the time, particularly among the country’s cultural and intellectual elite. There was a sense that certain individuals were above the law or immune from public scrutiny due to their status as artists or intellectuals.
Another factor was the legal age of consent in France at the time. Until 2018, the age of consent in France was 15 years old, which allowed some individuals like Matzneff to use legal loopholes to justify engaging in sexual relationships with minors.
However, in recent years, there has been a growing awareness and condemnation of sexual abuse and exploitation of minors in France, leading to increased accountability for perpetrators like Matzneff.
GPT的回答和目前的主流分析差不多，主要是70年底法国精英文化圈的纵容，以及法律至今比较落后，最后GPT用性捕猎者来形容马茨涅夫。
我问：Do French cultural elites feel sorry now?
GPT：There has been a range of responses from French cultural elites regarding the revelations of Gabriel Matzneff’s behavior and the wider issue of sexual abuse and exploitation of minors in intellectual circles.
Some individuals have expressed remorse or apologized for their past tolerance of such behaviors, including famous writers like Catherine Millet and Philippe Sollers. Others, however, have faced criticism for defending themselves or attempting to downplay the issue.
For example, some have argued that the age of consent laws in France allowed for such relationships to occur legally at the time, while others have claimed that certain artistic or literary works should be exempt from moral judgment. There are also critics who feel that not enough has been done to hold these individuals accountable or to address the broader societal issues that enabled this culture of impunity to persist.
GPT表示有两个知名作家在马茨涅夫的性丑闻后表达了反思和震惊，一个是Catherine Millet（代表作，《凯瑟琳的性爱自传》，这位女作家居然曾在2018年为好莱坞第一强奸犯哈维·韦恩斯坦辩护，在一封100多位法国女性签署的支持韦恩斯坦的联名信里，担心反对性骚扰文化变成对无辜男性的猎物……emmmm）
另外一个是严肃的法国思想家Philippe Sollers. 在豆瓣上可以查到多本他的书的中译本，他曾在70年代到访中国，学习过两年中文。
我最后追问：Please give me some names that are facing criticized for their continued defense of these individuals or for attempting to downplay the seriousness of the issue.
GPT给了四个仍在为马茨涅夫辩护的名字，并说 just a few examples, and there are likely others who have faced criticism as well ：
