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 take it back" refers to rescinding consent during the act, not after the act. You can agree to something and then back out. That is what consent is all about.
Nobody is saying that false reporters don't exist, nor are they saying that people who will claim rape after the fact (who agreed to the act but have second thoughts after the act is over) don't exist, nor are they saying they don't support the victims of false reporters.
That is not the subject of this comic and is not what is being talked about here.
The absolute best thing to do for all parties involved is to get verbal consent from both parties and to keep seeking that consent throughout the act, and to do such while both parties are sober and know what is going on.
If you want to protect yourself from false allegations, that's my advice. If you want to protect yourself from sexual assault and rape, it's more complicated and there are a lot more things you can do and variables to worry about, but that doesn't mean this advice isn't good for that too.
Well, I assumed that after referred after the act. If is during the act then you can and SHOULD take it back, but then using "
after" in the same sense as "during", that's a dishonest use of the language. It probably wasn't something deliberate, but that doesn't make that less misleading nevertheless.Thanks for the advice anyways. And yeah, I just thought better about this and you're correct, it's not the topic; anyways, I felt the need of express that because these kind of posts can lead to very damaging and misleading statements about that topic, and being someone who suffered from both, I know in first person how they are and that looks unacceptable to me in every way, both types of denialism are the worst things ever.
That's why I hate drugs, alcohol and the like. Nobody can consent under the effects of these substances. Hope they get totally banned sooner than later because they're a huge cause of these kind of problems.
I have been drunk, many, many times. Yet I have never raped any women, even the ones I have been attracted to.
Substances are not a free pass for rape, never have been never will be. To insinuate substances have any influence on weather or not a person will rape is insane, and unacceptable apology.
Bad men did this, not drugs.
The cause of these kinds of problems is men raping women
Not drugs or alcohol, but the rapists
It's that simple
What you're doing here is, once again, putting the onus on anyone or anything other than the rapists.
