Disparaging a victim of sexual assault because they had an emotional reaction to hearing the stories of other victims is not okay because you disagree with their politics. It is monstrous and vile, and the others in this thread should be ashamed.
Yeah she sucks, but god damn.
I get where you’re coming from, but she’s actively propping up the rapist from a position of power.
She's still defending the rapists, so....
Fuck that she'd leverage it if she could. Fuck the high road or any decency with theae cunts.
She's like a Jew who survived the holocaust and then took money from Neo-nazis to be a holocaust denier.
Fuck this POS
Fuck this "go high" shit, I don't care how someone suffers if they deserve to
No deserves be sexually assaulted or raped
Fuck her. She's an evil piece of shit.
I partially agree - of course no one should disparage a victim for an honest reaction. However,
her one recorded reaction on one day doesn't align with the months of hateful shit she spews and literally defending SA perpetrators, so it honestly doesn't seem authentic.
being an SA victim doesn't give you a pass for life to be a piece of shit.
It's really hard to have empathy for a person who exhibits none themselves. She seems less human. The schadenfreude of her suffering is a lot easier when it's someone who has themselves deliberately caused so much suffering.
I mean, not to overplay an analogy, but when a mass shooter is killed nobody says "I hope they didn't suffer."
