TW: Sexual Assault
Transcript
7 Panel Comic
Panel 1: White text on blood red background “TW: Sexual Assault”
Panel 2: A guy holds down a semi-conscious naked girl. Her eyes are closed and tear stained. Her mouth in an expression of pain. Around her are more reaching hands.
Jane Doe: This hurts….there’s too many people here…
I can’t breathe…
Panel 3: Beside the girl lays an empty liquor bottle and an empty pill bottle. Hands press down on her head and chest.
Jane Doe: I’ve got the spins
What’s happening
Who’s touching me?
I don’t want to do this anymore
Panel 4: A group of naked men laugh as they enjoy themselves
Jane Doe: I’m scared…
… if I say stop…
…will they get mad?
I can’t talk anyway…
Panel 5: Blood runs between her thighs. Her legs are bruised.
Jane Doe: Ow! Stop grabbing me!
I think I’m bleeding…
…I want to go home…
Just….gonna….shut….down….
Panel 6: The girl wraps her arms around her legs and closes her eyes as she listens to the barrage of insults, vitriol and victim blaming after coming out with what was done to her.
You can’t cry ‘rape’ whenever you regret sleeping with someone!!
Bitch
Maybe don’t hang out with guys!
Your fault for getting drunk!
Whore
You said yes at first! You can’t take it back!
Why didn’t you push them off?!
Slut
She just wants money!
Stop trying to ruin their lives!!
Attention seeker
Panel 7: “Why are they mad at me?”
You can’t really say you want to encourage difficult conversations while at the same time threaten to just block and ban people. That’s not having a conversation. That’s just surrounding yourself with people who only share your opinion. Even if your opinion is probably the moral one.
Not every statement is valid as a discussion, imo. Victim-blaming does not seem like discussing anything, and feels to me like those statements about every opinion being valid and then trying to justify something wild. A bit like ‘scientists don’t know everything, so my flat earth theory is also valid’
Pick a better analogy. Only idiots believe in a flat earth because we’ve seen pictures and videos and have absolute evidence that the earth is not flat. Saying the earth is flat is like saying rocks aren’t hard.
In order to be tolerant, you have to be intolerant of the intolerant.
That’s why it’s ok to punch nazis.
Believe it or not, yes I can, and I will. As for what I’ve seen so far, most all comments are in line with being both respectful and thoughtful. This is the type of discourse this topic deserves. There have been one or two comments that fell out of scope and they were dealt with accordingly. This is how moderation works.
I’m sure it has been that way. You prefaced it with banning anyone who’d say otherwise.
If I said “This comic sucks, the linework is terrible” I have doubts the mods would come after me. The specific issue was “victim blaming”, and the mod was specific.
It’s a bit like using slurs, or claiming the holocaust never happened. Such comments are wrong, never add to discussion, and usually come from someone that wants to see a reaction.
Opinions are fair game. Attacks are not, that’s what moderation is for.
So, you’re saying you want to have an aggressive, screaming match focusing on blame-throwing towards victims instead? I mean, you do you, but I’m pretty sure you could just go to Xitter for that.
