@amerika Lmfao that's fucked up, are any of them even actually people who knew Emit, or are these relatives born after his death? His mother and father are definitely dead, and all I read online are surviving cousins of his, doesn't say if they actually knew him, but I barely know my fucking cousins.
@furgar Where is this? Same school both? Where? Looks uk-ish, ireland? England?
I don't know how the alt right belief that the society is too aware of rape and too prone to accusations managed to settle in the map community.
It's literally not true.
The society has a punishment problem, and it will go after everyone who's believed to engage in non normative sexual behavior (consensual or no, they think rape is just a logical conclusion of gay sex or kinks). But the key word is "believed".
The majority of sexual abuse is done by people in a position of authority - parents, rich people, bosses, doctors. And you, especially as a child, would need to go through literal hell to prove you were sexually abused. I was that child, trying to establish sexual boundaries and speak up, I was immediately gaslit to believe I was making it up because I was too sexual.
Basically the only two cases where you, as a rape victim, will not deal with as many obstacles, is when you were raped by someone way below you in the social hierarchy (an immigrant, a homeless person, a drug addict) or when you have someone powerful on your side pushing for the accusation. Which is pretty rare.
And then you still will have to deal with the rape stigma, because, unsurprisingly, the victims are also believed to be perverted and corrupted by sex. And that's why many victims choose not to speak.
The society is not anti rape. Especially it's not TOO anti rape.
