Thank you for your answer. I see your point. I was thinking more about the specific situation described in the comic, and not one where it had already escalated to the point where police and the justice system got involved, and I have to wonder what kind of life the cop lived through to reach the conclusion that “women fake it all the time.” But even worse than there being cops like this is the fact that even if it came to light that they were like this there is a high chance they would not be punished at all.

Case in question, in my country, a cop fatally shot a guy because he “looked like he had a knife.” That’s already disgusting enough, but as far as I know, he wasn’t going to be punished until big protest erupted. It’s a sistematic issue, and unfortunately, there’s not much we can do aside from voting.

With trump being elected, this issue is sure to become even worse. And since trump seems to be specifically against women’s freedom, it will probably get even harder for women to defend themselves and bring the perpetrator to justice.

But I sincerely hope that a situation like that doesn’t happen again, to you or anyone you know. Good luck in the future, and stay safe.

As a sidenote, and don’t answer if you don’t want to, why did you decline his arrest? Was there any chance that could turn against you?

I don’t usually comment in these types of gender discussions, so I don’t really know why I am commenting this. I hope you don’t take me badly.

You say that we live in a society that caters to men first, which I unfortunately agree in general, adding later that, due to the usual prepertrators of the hideous crimes you listed being men (which I also agree), women usually jump to the conclusion that the man is the abuser. Knowing that, couldn’t it be said that in this specific situation society caters to women rather than men? After all, you can’t say “most abusers are men, therefore this abuser is a man.” Each person is an individual. From a purely mathematical perspective, it indeed makes sense to suspect the man first, but that being the case, wouldn’t bringing up that first point be:

a. True, but in matters unrelated to the discussion? b. Contradicting what you say in the end?

And therein lies my question to you. I am not that informed in these gender-related affairs and I am sorry if anything I said was wrong/insensitive, but I still ask this question, for no reason other than probably being sleepy. Thank you, and I apologize if I misunderstood anything. I did not watch the show that was mentioned, I really just wanted to ask about that specific part.

To be completely honest, this whole thing seems to have nothing to do with godot at all. These bullies found a target, that’s all. I can only assume that once this whole “controversy” dies out, their reaction to godot will be “godot? Wazzat? Never heard of it.”

So I don’t think anything like a godot-gate will come out of it (assuming a godot-gate would be something like boycotting godot, or campaigning against its use)

Yeah that makes sense. I guess that the lack of positive replies could be attributed to the fact that the “real godot community” has long since left twitter. It’s quite sad that the only people who still use it are those who spend their time spreading hate for whatever reason… Though on the bright side, them having their own little far-right social media to play means that there’s a smaller chance they’ll pervade other social media, which is a good thing. I definitely don’t want to see those type of people here on lemmy!

Ahhh I see, that would explain it. I was kinda confused with how little positive comments there appeared to be compared to the sea of hateful ones when clicking the more replies button, but that would explain it - I hadn’t thought about it. I’ve gotta admit though, surprisingly, even after I scroll past the blue checkmarks, although the positive/negative comment ratio is much more in line with my expectations, most comments are nevertheless pretty hateful. Though I guess that can be explain with just twitter being twitter.

Thank you!

After seeing the thread, I don’t think even understand what caused the outrage. There was so much unfounded hate everywhere, what the hell? Is this normal in twitter? Or do people there simply have some sort of hate switch that gets turned on whenever someone says woke (word which, honestly, I don’t even fully understand what it means)

Reading those comments made me feel like I was reading a contest to see who could be the most hateful though, holy damn…

I’m more of a jjjkkkjjj kind of person, but I think both are correct

For me, typing a certain amount of "j"s into the firefox search bar (with duckduckgo as the default search engine) gives me that suggestion. Since as far as I know duckduckgo uses bing in the background, I am assuming it has to do with that

(I didn’t explain since it was a shitpost lol)
