So rape is fine so long as you're sufficiently bullied beforehand? Or neurodivergent?
did you even read what i said. to clarify, i said that i think it could’ve been avoided and it wouldn’t have happened if the person doing it hadn’t been bullied for decades. bullying puts an intense stress on somebody, and i can’t imagine how normal senses of morals could feel eroded when you’re turned into a fucking freak show on the internet, constantly being scrutinised and not allowed to express any sense of personhood at all for fear of harassment. i am saying nothing about the topic of rape itself, as much as it is horrible it is also caused by people who have personal histories and experiences. i just think things could’ve possibly been avoided and i’m tired of people scapegoating holding any responsibility to the internet for bullying somebody for decades which, before she committed sexual assault, from what i know was just because people thought she was weird.
things didn’t change, people didn’t realise that what they did was wrong, they never stopped treating her like a freak show, the only thing that changed when she committed sexual assault is that people felt justified for doing it now - and i think that tells some things about the biases people have held. it’s the lack of self-reflection, that to be honest i thought would be evident to most people not to treat someone this way, for again, literal decades. i hope this clarifies what i said in those tags.
#to be clear i don’t actually know enough about chris chan and my actual knowledge could be inaccurate#i just remember being on twitter and being annoyed by many aspects of the discussion around her#anyway. should this need a rape cw. i don’t think so? but tell me and i’ll put one on#also damn i thought i had explained my points well in those tags i didn’t expect an ask like this.#might be someone generally outside my ‘audience’ but idk. if there’s a better way i could explain my thoughts i’d like to know#i might also go delete those tags if they’re this easy to misinterpret. oh well
