      To be fair, the stream of bullshittery is so vast that it’s very easy to miss one specific thing.

        It’s American news, so that might be why I haven’t seen it up to today, thanks Velma!

        That’s why I asked lol. The conversation around rape has been pretty active this week in the news from multiple stories.

          I thought you were referring to some dude whining about feminism, but it’s actually about rape? I’m with the first guy, I got no clue what you are referring to.

            There’s been a lot of whining from the manosphere about the Cornell rape case that has been in the news a lot the last two weeks.

              I knew about that, but didn’t connect the meme to the Cornell case. The meme has been true for a very long time.

              Ah, there’s my problem. I tuned out of the manosphere long before I’d even heard it referred to as such.

                I’m genuinely happy for you! Protect that peace if you can.

                I remember watching some youtube channels around that time who went hard into it over time and they became progressively more off putting to me until I dropped them.

                Shame, as I know some actually mentioned real problems faced by the working class initially and that is what I was there for. Then more and more of this anti-feminism bullshit starts appearing for some reason and I lost interest.

              Haven’t heard about this until now so this was initially rather confusing. Maybe its a bigger thing in the US.

                Definitely bigger here in the US. There was a congressional candidate who was raped while she was campaigning recently as well that’s hit the news cycle this week, too.

                There’s a lot of rape here.

                No, the rapists have been extensively condemned in popular media and person-to-person conversations here.

                  That’s why Jane Doe has been swatted and is receiving death rights, right? Everyone is super supportive of her?

                  Yeah.
