The good thing is the consequences have been huge. The players involved have lost a fortune, massive sponsors have pulled out from endorsements with them, and they're suspended from a crucial game. That's gonna go some way to stopping them hurting other women.

And most of all... huge support to the women they hurt that night. You matter and we are behind you ❤️

That's true. From the description of cops showing up shortly after, reporters, a whole disciplinary committee and the actions of the girls themselves, it sounds like much more than a miscommunication.

I have sex workers among my friends and can't help but think of them when I hear shit like this. Thankfully I haven't seen anything disparaging sex workers... yet.

I hopped in the Swans reddit sub. You'll be surprised to hear the manosphere has started attacking them

IDGAF that the women are selling adult services. It changes nothing, it's their choice what services they offer. IDGAF if these women go for compensation, it changes nothing about what the men did plus the women can't work right now! IDGAF if they're "trashy" and if they are, that is maybe why they were loud and assertive enough to get out the room safely. IDGAF if they were really filming cos they wanted to blackmail the men, it doesn't change that they were assaulted. Ffs it's 2026 we should be past this.

I'm not surprised but I'm still disappointed.

I don't care either. They were at work and a crime was done to them. And who knows, maybe they were filming in case something happened, considering sex workers face an uphill battle to prove sexual assault.

Yep! It may also be a tactic to calm clients eg lie and say it's being livestreamed to the agency so the clients work/wife will find out if they don't back off.

Women only trans inclusive This is an inclusive community for all things women. Whether you're here for make up tips, feminism or just friendly chit chat, we've got you covered.

Rules…

  1. Women only… trans women are women, and transphobic or gender critical talk isn’t allowed. Anyone under the trans umbrella (e.g. non-binary, bigender, agender) is free to decide whether a women's community is a good fit for them.
  2. Don’t be a dick. No personal attacks, no aggression, play nice.
  3. Don’t hate on groups, hatefilled talk about groups is not allowed. Ever.
  4. No governmental politics, so no talk of Trump actions etc. We recommend Feminism@beehaw.org for that, but here is an escape from it.
  5. New accounts or users with few comments may have their posts removed to prevent spam and bad-faith participation.
