I guess Anna thinks that people should just shut up about the rape in this context. I disagree.
Call me crazy, but I don't think this trivializes the victim at all. Are these dudes paragons of the feminist mindset? No, probably not. But I think its helpful to remind people, loudly and with choreography, that Winston is a scumbag rapist.
THANK YOU! People on one account say that others need to "step up" and say something to shame people do who rape, but when it's done, they don't like the context so it's "trivial" and meaningless? Not getting that. At all.
I have to disagree. I think they were calling out a fucking rapist who has been gloating and getting put on a goddamn pedestal because he is (usually) good at a stupid game. They handed said rapist his head in the game and then told him karma is a bitch. That's okay by me.
As someone who has been involved in anti-sexual violence work for over 20 years and was seriously dismayed at the circus that FSU turned their "investigation" (cough, cough) into in order to protect a football player and someone who will earn millions of dollars for the university . . .

Um yea. Everybody gets itchy. You know what we do? We fucking deal with it. We expect you to fucking deal with it. Nobody cares about your itchy dick.
Not talk about it. You can just do the right thing without telling everyone. That's not only for issues of racism, it's also just a general rule. You shouldn't need positive reinforcement for being a decent person. Just be one.
I find most of this essay very powerful. One area I wonder about is where you think good white people feel like they should be rewarded - what should good white people do then? Not delete trolls? Not be outraged? Keep the outrage to themselves? I understand the frustration of people seemingly wanting to be…
She's saying that she cannot clarify where she went or what occurred between when she got in the cab and when she woke up the next day. Nothing confusing there.
Actually, title/image aside...it seems pretty good?
Haha, I worked in TV for 8 years and you're exactly right. The affiliate I worked at would broadcast some of the high school state tournaments, and people would lose their mind. Giving them the choice would be huge.
I mean what he said hardly sounds outside the bounds of current technology, even if you do have some idea of how the systems work.
