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?”
Victim blaming. I have seen it happening.
SA warning
It was "but they were both on drugs" and "but they were in a relationship".Often from women.
Then there's the cherrypicking; one allegation was rape, the other that the guy was grooming her because he was much older than her. People got hung up on the age difference as something that shouldn't be an issue, and ignored the much bigger issue: "what, now I can't try to pick up young women anymore? You're creating an athmosphere of fear and prosecution!" - No dipshit, you just can't rape them.
The same applies to the person who stands with the victim (that was me): "but I've seen you flirting with younger women too! Don't be so sanctimonious!"
Frankly, just trying to support her was a horrible experience. Can't imagine how it must have felt for her. So brave to come forward.
But I wouldn't miss this experience for the world.
I hope you're doing OK.
Even years later, when I tell my story I get victim blaming comments, even from people I otherwise trusted. I no longer bring it up outside of with other women I feel safe with.
CW: SA
"You can't just take back your consent."I didn't. I said stop, they didn't, because finishing was more important than my comfort. Consent can be retracted at any time. Stop means stop, and no means no.
"Did you even defend yourself?"
He was bigger, stronger, and had already ignored my "stop" and my "no." I was scared and I shut down.
The person who assaulted me never faced any consequences. I still freeze up during intimacy. I hope Jane Doe gets justice and closure.
If I go out to eat, I can take back my consent at any time. I don't see a difference here.
"This [food] sucks, I'm out."
Shit that this happened to you. I hope you're better.
Yes this is a clear cut case where consent was withdrawn. If you had said “no stop I’m not feeling it” and he said “ugh I’m close can I finish?” and you said “okay finish quick” then your consent would have been back being given. The issue with the Cornell case is that anything she said no to was respected (at least from the documents I have seen) - which implies that she could have said no way I’m out of here and nobody was going to stop her.
No. She was intoxicated. Therefore consent could never be given in the first place.
You missed the title so your spoiler didn't work.

Thanks, will fix. FWIW, it works as ~~is~~ was in Piefed.
