DJ Soda, who has more than 5 million Instagram followers, took to social media platforms to slam the unidentified individuals involved.

I specifically mentioned Australia due to its rampant rape culture. Just because you’re not aware of it doesn’t mean it’s not happening.

Just because I’m not aware of it also doesn’t make the original post from False any less unexpected, I acknowledge my own ignorance but the point still stands. If it becomes known enough world-wide that Australia does indeed have a rampant SA problem that it become associated with the country as part of it’s “culture”, then it won’t be any weirder to so a “Sigh, Australia…” when an article comes up talking about it.

I think the point he was making is it’s never good to assume the whole country is like this when it’s individuals doing it, and I have to say I agree. That’s the kind of reasoning that led to people attacking Russian-American businesses and homes when the Ukraine invasion started

It is known world-wide. Western media has been covering it for years. I don’t live in Australia and I know about it.

Minimizing the rape culture of Australia only hurts its victims.

This is exactly why everyone thinks you ~~hexbears~~ Lenin apologists are obnoxious. You made a specious argument which seems intended to pull a third nation into a completely unrelated story for no reason and then aggressively argue about it when people call you out. Take the L and try to contribute something other than rage for a bit.

Bit off topic here, but what’s a hexbear? First time I’ve ever encountered that term.

Woah woah woah. Who’s a hexbear? And stop minimizing rape culture.

My mistake. The same shit applies to lemmygrad, though I guess the lack of actual brigade makes it one tier less obnoxious.

Sources: it is known.

Common lemmygrad L

Literally no one is doing that. There was no excuses or apologies made for sexual assault taking place in other places. There was no “minimizing” the fact that it happens elsewhere. You are perceiving a slight from nothing, or at best a short post of exasperation that it happened again.

When I say minimizing, I don’t mean you personally making excuses or apologies for SA. Of course you wouldn’t do that.

I’m referring to the societal minimization where despite years of news and research, people still don’t acknowledge it as a widespread problem.

because people don’t know about it?
it’s not like we didn’t acknowledge it out of malice.

Exactly comrade. It’s not active malice, but the the lack of acknowledgement that constitute much of rape culture.

There are several countries where I’ve heard of this being a problem, but I’ve never heard this about Australia. Care to share some resources about what you’re referring to?
