#help rape victims

[oliveoilisedible]

Fun fact, a boy in the parallel class raped a girl from the same class.

The school had to keep him for the year (for reasons I do not know) but knew it would be stupid to keep him in the same class as the girl he raped. In the SEVENTH. GRADE.

THEY WERE FUCKING 12-15

Did you know that every single boy, not only ignored the fact that he abused someone but respected it??? They'd clap him on the back and whisper to each other “did you know Elias raped a girl?”

The other boys would later say that nobody liked Elias, and it was true (he was very insufferable), but they wouldn't say it to his face.

I want you to think about that for a second.

The importance of the allegations against Neil Gaiman being public

Claire on the podcast: Am I Broken: Survivor Stories.

S4 Ep2 - Claire "I Ignored It and I Believed Him Because He's the Storyteller [Neil Gaiman]"

"There are a few reasons why I'm coming forward now. And honestly, most of them have to do with how things went that first time that I tried. Um, that was back in 2019 that I first tried to share my story, and I reached out to a handful of journalists and I had several conversations off the record, but... Yeah, that message I got, across the board, was pretty much that what happened to me wasn't enough to establish a pattern of behavior. Because I was just one person, and back then everyone was looking for a serial rapist, right, like not one-off creeps."

"So when the journalist said what happened to you isn't enough to establish a pattern of behavior, what I heard, of course, was that what happened to you wasn't enough. And I was really shaken by that experience."

"It turns out – I wasn't the only one. Uh, three weeks ago from the date of this recording, uh, two other women came forward with allegations against him of rape and sexual assault. And one is – was in 2002, and the second in 2022. So my experience falls right in the middle of that, in 2012, and – that's a pattern! So, I decided to come forward, and ... knowing what I know now, I – I wish I'd come forward sooner, like I – no – (sigh) it just – it broke my heart hearing how one of the victims, Scarlett, had been googling "neil gaiman sexual assault" when she was trying to piece together what had happened to her, because I did the same thing! For years!"

"I was – I felt so alone, back then, and I don't want any of his victims to feel that way ever again. So, I'm sharing my experience, in solidarity, to support those women who've come forward and the people who will, and the people who can't. And... I'm also doing this for myself, as a... continuation of my healing. And I've never told my story so completely before. And... I'm choosing to do that through this podcast, because in this space, unlike in most spaces, it's not about him. It's about me, and my story."

"in the original myth medusa was a rape victim!" i'm literally banging my head against the wall

[amerasdreams]

I'm sorry but you're either for Ukraine or for russia. There is no middle ground. I don't care what your normal politics are. This isn't about politics. This is about people's lives. About them not being taken over by a country that is not only bombing them but raping and torturing them.

If you don't think we should do all we can possibly do to stop such evil, you are on the wrong side of history.

[clementimetodie]

Abuser is abusing me. I am going to respond by dragging myself down to their level and abusing them in the same way they abused me, but it's okay when I do it, because I am Morally Righteous, God Himself even told me so!

[atopvisenyashill]

if i gotta see one more person say “it’s bad to compare aegon to literally any character because he’s a rapist” or god fucking forbid a “grapist” EYE am gonna start feeding people to dragons.

Sometimes I see people misinterpreting Arya's character and honestly, all it does is make me appreciate her that much more. George could've easily written her into as a basic archetype and instead, he gave us one of the most complex and well-developed characters in the series and I'm forever grateful for that 🫶🏾

[cold--carnage]

I genuinely, wholeheartedly do not believe that women are statistically more likely to be rape victims. I think the numbers are probably pretty balanced but men just don't come forward about it because the reaction is always some variation of "well it was probably another man who did it to you so men are still the problem" or fucking whatever

[nyvoirquedufeu]

I know you've got to be vague for safety and all that but what is your job overall? Are you like a clerk or an administrator?

no I'm in crisis support/de-escalation as a peer specialist so I deal w/ppl who are having suicidal ideation, dealing w psychosis, or any other mental health crisis. we are sort of a last line of defense before hospitalization. most of what I do is just talk to people (face to face or on the phone) & try to make them feel less alone, peers also disclose our own mental health struggles when appropriate bc that's the whole idea behind having us as staff rather than clinicians (tho we do get clinical training too, I'm working towards my CRSS license). I like the job aside from the annoying complicated paperwork but the emotional toll it takes can be very high

[alicentflorent]

I read that the dyana scene was added last minute so I wouldn't put too much thought into it the writers clearly didn't. Do you think Ali genuinely cared about dyana though?

It was added last minute?!?!!! Well that does explain a lot. Were they even planning on having aegon be a confirmed rapist?

I think a lot of people see the Alicent / Dyana scene as black and white (or rather it’s how they see the entire show)

Alicent is either the evil witch who didn’t give a fuck about the victim or that her son is a rapist but only cares about herself and her family image. Dyana was just a problem to be solved and aegon just needs to keep his depraved nature hidden but they claim she doesn’t care at all about him being rapist.

Alicent only cared about Dyana in the moment and genuinely was trying to help her to the best of her abilities. She saw her younger self in Dyana and truly wanted to help her and felt nothing but disgust towards aegon.

My interpretation is that Alicent was genuinely horrified and had empathy for Dyana. She meant what she said when she told her she believed her and wanted to help BUT she also wanted to protect her family even if she was completely disgusted by her son. There was a moment when she’s hugging Dyana where her demenure changes and I think this is when she realised she needed to do damage control. She paid her to start over probably thinking she’s helped the victim as best as she can while also avoiding a scandal and ‘dealing’ with aegon herself. As for bringing up herself, helaena and how aegons crimes impact them when trying to get her point across - this is an unfortunate part of rape culture, using the “you have a wife, daughter, sister, mother” narrative to get through to men. She cared about Dyana when she’s face to face with this young girl in distress , who suffered at the hands of her son, her heir but like most nobles they care about their own family, privilege and image more.
