If I had a libertarian magazine, I'd be trying hard to avoid confirming the stereotype of libertarians as being strictly out of touch white men who mistake their own chin-stroking blatherings for insight.

no victim shaming

Because, alas, when Kinja came out moderators were relegated to the commenter forums. So the mod tools are all there and it's up to the writers to hit the ban button here. And they're busy writing and we're still busy moderating, but we can't help them out the same way nowadays :(

Google tonic immobility. Here's a quote about it, "Research suggests that between 12 and 50 percent of rape victims experience tonic immobility during a sexual assault, and most data suggests that the rate is actually closer to the 50 percent than the 12 percent." Here's the link to the article this quote comes from…

Okay, so why didn't you just stop yourself from asking such a dumb fucking question? Not shaming you for being a fucking moron, just asking why you are a fucking moron!

Possibly because he froze up and didn't know how to respond? Maybe he just didn't know what to do, not because he was super committed to his art but because he was too shocked. And it does sound like victim shaming (why didn't he stop her, he could have done something).

You are right, that's not victim shaming, that's straight up victim BLAMING, and it is NOT ok.

Thank you. I was coming here to say exactly that, but you phrased it perfectly.

That said, I can't wait to hear more insightful and well-informed commentary from all the people who crawled out of the woodwork to say "even though he was there and said he was raped, I, random internet asshole, am better-informed than he…

I have learned so many bad things about myself when I first heard the story — because, even though I believe every female rape survivor who comes forward with her story, I still felt incredulous at LaBoeuf's. I fucking hate how primed I am to think about men who are sexually assaulted. It's not fair to them, and it's…

I just want to say before the comments get full of people doubting Shia LaBeouf that anyone who continues to claim he wasn't raped is a rape apologist, a victim blamer, and an asshole.
