VGK DUBS AFTER ANOTHER DISGUSTING CHOKE JOB WE'RE UP 2-1 BITCHES!!!

[tartymae]

I am a sexual assault survivor. Chants like "no means no" at VGK games are nothing more than social justice cosplay, and this performance is a very unfunny farce.

Want to make a real difference? Do actual social justice.

Donate to the local women's shelter.

Vote out the GOP/GOP equivalent in your country. (Vote in your local elections, because that's where those fuckers first take root.)

Insist that there be actual, comprehensive, medical fact based sex ed in your school system. Young people have the right to know about their bodies, what healthy sexuality, and what healthy relationships look like. (Sex ed I assure you the Hockey 5 never got.)

Sex ed that covers:

*Issues of consent, like power dynamics

*how consent is an ongoing process -- check in early and often

*the fact that nobody is owed sex, EVER

*that consent can be withdrawn at any point in an encounter -- a person's body is their own and they have the right to stop anything that doesn't feel good or feel right for them. (Yes, even when it's your spouse. Yes, even if they're a sex worker.)

*if you are too drunk/high to drive, you are too drunk to consent to sex. You don't have to be reeling drunk to be too drunk. (Everybody in that room was too drunk to consent!)

*"slut shaming" is a tool of oppression and is toxic to both men and women. (EM's allegations can also -- understandably -- be seen an attempt at reputation repair. She was a "good girl" and a good girl could never, ever want to have a group sex encounter, doncha know?)

*never do anything that could be taken as preventing somebody from leaving an encounter. If somebody wants to leave, let them go.

Do anything but trivialize sexual assault down to a chant meant to get in the opposing team's head and smugly pat yourself on the back for having done your good deed.

(And for the record, what happened in that room was not a "no means no" type of event. And Carter Hart was not the ringleader, that was Michael McLeod.)

[tartymae]

Imagine replying with this to somebody (who was violently sexually assaulted*) when they make a post about don't trivialize sexual assault for the purposes of getting into somebody's head, because that is not social justice it is social justice cosplay.

I pray that this person fixes their heart. And soon.

*EM did not say no to almost everything that happened in that room. The records are very clear about that. Which doesn't mean that what happened in that hotel room wasn't awful, but it wasn't a "no means no" event.

To give an an idea of how complicated it can get? Kyle Beach actually orgasmed during his sexual assault. Trivializing all sexual assault down to "no means no" plants the wrong ideas about what a sexual assault can be; that if a person didn't say no (because they were too afraid to, or otherwise coerced into saying yes/going along with it, like Beach) it's not a sexual assault.

At any rate, my point stands -- chanting "no means no" for the purposes of getting into any of the Hockey 5's heads is not an act of social justice. It trivializes the very real experiences of people like me, who screamed "no" and "please stop" and made it absolutely crystal clear that we did not want this to happen.

ok lets get this bread

would you mind explaining the red flags of someone making a false accusation? for future reference so I can hopefully recognize them from the start and not months later when they've already done heavy damage

Refusing to Show Evidence - This is self explanatory.

Emotional Blackmail - If someone responds to requests for proof or doubt with a big emotional spiel about "Believing the Victim" that's a massive red flag. Victim and Accuser are not synonymous, and this kind of emotional blackmail is unnecessary when you have an actual case. This goes double for "But if it's true then it's really bad!" That warrants more scrutiny, not less.

Mockery - Turning the subject into a punching bag casts doubt, because sexual abuse is a serious topic and should not be funny. And if the accuser is treating it as a big joke, it's clear they already had a bug up their ass about the accused before these came out.

Hyperscrutiny - Spending more time scrutinizing the response to the accusations than presenting evidence. Again, if you have proof you don't need to do this.

Association Fallacy - If the proof of accusations is just shit from their social media the accuser is twisting into "self reports." Proof of actual wrongdoing is the only acceptable thing to submit.

Gish Gallop - A hundred unfounded accusations combined with the above two. You don't need to drown someone in accusations if you have actual proof.

if you call yourself an activist or advocate but you don’t believe in rehabilitative and restorative justice once someone personally makes you mad, opposes you or hurts your feelings, i don’t fucking trust you.

Is there a reason so many leftists seem so exhausted? Like they're tired of the news and seem to have given up?

For a lot of people the exhaustion is performative. It's a lot easier to claim you're overwhelmed than to admit you're lazy and don't care.

However, for an equally large amount of people they don't do themselves any favors. They constantly gorge themselves on news, telling themselves they can't "look away" and need to "stay informed" but the brain can only handle so much information at once.

Seriously, BINGING ANYTHING IS BAD FOR YOU STOP FUCKING DOING IT!

Additionally, they have the outrage meter at 11 all the time. Always freaking out, always screaming, always demanding blood and guts and other performative outbursts. So of course you wear yourself out.

You need to learn to let your anger burn slowly. You need to learn to stop performing and letting your anger explode so everyone can see that you have the correct opinions.

I said this about Gaza and I'll say it again here: It's a marathon, not a sprint.

A lot of people don't want to hear that. They want change NOW. But you're not getting change now. You have to do it the slow way, you don't actually get another choice.

"We need left wing populism!" Populism is the politics of the stupid and never actually solves anything. Stop broadcasting that you're stupid.

You. Have. To. Do. Things. The. Slow. Way. There. Is. No. Other. Choice.

I suppose armed revolution is possible, but that would require the vast majority of you to want to pick up a gun. And you don't. And given that, your only choice is to

Vote regularly

Stop making excuses not to vote

Stop holding dipshit opinions about instantaneous change in a 2 party system

Stop whining about the 2 party system while decidedly not voting for third parties at your state or local level.

Stop binge watching news and political youtubers seriously why are so many of you so averse to the basic fundamental reality that binging anything is bad you all need addiction counseling or to be smacked with a really big bat.

Stop throwing a hissy fit when the concept of linear time doesn't adjust to accommodate your minuscule attention span.

You can dance in the rain or sulk in the rain, but it will rain regardless.

So Israel recently claimed that a report on how Palestinian prisoners are raped in their prisoners was blood libel. How accurate is that claim?

None. Blood Libel is when Christians falsely accuse Jewish people of murdering Christians to use their blood in the performance of religious rituals.

QAnon was an example of Blood Libel, insisting that a cabal of Jewish billionaires were stealing the adrenal fluid of children to achieve immortality.

Yeah that's what QAnon was about.

In the last few years, Israel has insisted that any accusation of genocide against Palestinians is a form of blood libel. They are wrong for a number of reasons.

The genocide is actually happening, and therefore writing about it is not "libel."

Nobody is accusing Israel of using the blood of Palestinians for rituals, only spilling it wantonly.

Israel thinks any criticism of its actions is antisemitism, a belief that I personally believe should not be entertained. It's the usual fascist rhetoric from a bunch of wannabe Nazis.

Heartbreaking, this Zionist is now siding with transmisogynists because you didnt support their genocidal ethnostate

"increasingly it feels like I HAVE to side with fascists" no you don't. you don't.

I've noticed you tend to make arguments about practicality rather than morality a lot. Would you call yourself a pragmatist?

Not at all. I do have moral principles. I'm against the Death Penalty, and I'm against the government intruding on the personal lives of adults. What makes it a moral principle is that I still hold that without making exceptions for things I find gross.

It's just that when it comes to real problems, they need to be fixed. Posturing helps nobody and does nothing, especially when it's cowardly little pussies posturing about how they'd become murderers if they had an excuse.

I've never heard a legitimate reason as to why posturing is better than fixing the problem.

Everything Carly said about Jack, even calling him a PREDATOR (which...fucking COOK, girl!), was spot on...until it came to how much culpability Joss owns. Despite what Carly wants to believe, Joss still made the choice to kill Cyrus. She still made the choice to STAY in the WSB, and she's still operating as much with very little presence influence besides her own bruised ego. It's more like a 60% Jack, 40% Joss split in this whole ordeal. He even gave her an out with no strings attached (meaning her killing Cyrus would still be buried), and she CHOSE TO STAY. I don't dispute that he manipulated her at the jump (hell I've likened this version of Brennan to a janitor who has vodka and pervs on the girls), but she was not forced to stick around, nor was she forced into this line of work. She still bears some fault here, even if it's not greater than or equal to Jack's fault.
