@Johnny.SS zawg what 😭

[BBQboi-_-]

@Sup3rSwaggyy1983 I’m saying that you’re stating the obvious and missing the even more obvious point that women and children are the main targets,Obv it could happen to men but it rly hasn’t,also “children” is an ungendered term so the comment was pointless 😭

[w1ckedsticky1983]

@Johnny.SS not really? The original comment @_Izzy_ made was mainly referencing women, and I made an inference that they meant female children as well. It's not a useless comment, I was just saying that women aren't the only ones suffering from this issue. I'm lowkirkenuinely js tired of people defining shit by gender, there's sm male victims 😿

[BBQboi-_-]

@Sup3rSwaggyy1983 “male victims” “male victims” yeah obviously,nobody is denying that but if an issue mainly affects women and the perpetrators are men, it’s gonna be a push mentioning gender because it’s more excepted,this isn’t the woke progressive take you think it is bc it removes the social context of women online

[w1ckedsticky1983]

@Johnny.SS I'm not trying to be "woke" or "progressive" as you put it, nor am I attempting to seem like I'm dismissing all female victims of creeps online. I quite literally agreed with what @_Izzy_ said. However, I'm just trying to present the problem that males are also targets of this behavior. I don't wanna start some kind of debate or whatever, but the kind of mindset you carry is the reason why many male victims are invalidated. This isn't supposed to come off as me pretending to be pretentious and fake-nuanced, but to shed light on an actual issue going unnoticed- there's a plethora of Male deepfakes that circle the internet, I've come across plenty. I'm not saying that women aren't a sole target for this disgusting behavior either. Both genders face these issues 🤧

@Sup3rSwaggyy1983 SPEAK FOR THE PEOPLE SWAGGY:bangbang: THEY NEED TO HEAR THIS:bangbang::fire::fire::eagle::eagle:

@Sup3rSwaggyy1983
I AM a male victim of assault, so if we really want to go band-for-band on this topic, I have a reason and motivation to speak on it. You can focus on women’s experiences while still acknowledging male victims. Male victims are often invalidated by OTHER MEN. It’s largely a toxic masculinity issue.

Saying that women should be able to talk about how assault affects their gender specifically—just like men sometimes talk about their own issues—shouldn’t be seen as invalidating because it’s objectively not

I can talk about how skim milk is especially hated and still talk about how whole milk is as well

[w1ckedsticky1983]

@Johnny.SS I'm a women too of sexual assault. I just don't see many male representation, so my bad Brodie 😿

pointless arguments that shouldn't even have happened... man.. I tell ya. I wish we could stop turning what people are saying around and shaping it into something that it's not meant to be.

to keep things simple, if you don't like something, GTFO and use the block button.
