[+] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip -32 points 10 months ago* (5 children) That's not an excuse to assault somebody Hold people accountable instead of blaming the victim permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 10 child comments replies: [–] rafoix@lemmy.zip 54 points 10 months ago Who’s blaming the victim? I’m blaming the one-way relationship celebrity culture. It seems like a breeding ground for people with serious social issues. permalink fedilink source parent [–] ech@lemmy.ca 19 points 10 months ago Pointing out who is likely to be a fan of hers isn't "blaming the victim". It's being realistic about what she has to deal with. It shouldn't happen, but bad people exist. Can't ignore that. permalink fedilink source parent [–] 474D@lemmy.world 9 points 10 months ago You need to re-read that comment permalink fedilink source parent [–] Jax@sh.itjust.works 6 points 10 months ago attracts the most unhinged obsessed fans Did we read the same message? permalink fedilink source parent [+] biotin7@sopuli.xyz -32 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (3 children) Let's be a bit honest here, Emiru is literally a bland do-nothing person who cultivated her fan.... I mean cult in a certain way to make it easier for her to fleece money off of desperate men. No one's denying it is assault & at the end of the day, the person will go to jail (& he deserves it), but this was a case of their toxic manipulative behaviour backfiring on them. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 6 child comments replies: [–] KaChilde@sh.itjust.works 16 points 10 months ago (1 child) You make the women in your life uncomfortable. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [+] biotin7@sopuli.xyz -12 points 10 months ago* Says the creep, who wants to be that one good man so that he can get in their pants.

People who say “she deserved to get raped” are acknowledging that a victim was raped. I’ve not looked into Amouranth. This thread is about Emiru. Who is not culpable - in any way - for her assault. This is not something “backfiring” on her. permalink fedilink source parent [–] DoucheBagMcSwag@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 points 10 months ago (1 child) she was asking for it Are you hearing yourself right now? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] biotin7@sopuli.xyz -5 points 10 months ago That's YOUR interpretation.
