That is insane, no one has a right to dictate how you may or may not feel.

What is the number of rapes needed for someone to have trauma? Is it two? Does that mean two little rapes is trauma, but not one big one? Is three rapes too much trauma?

Come on, Met Police, define your fucking line, you bastards.

(Also yes for those of you keeping score at home, there’s no such thing as a big rape or a little rape, it’s all just rape and this whole fucking premise is absurd. I am incredibly high on flu drugs and am trying to fight flu A, be gentle on me and all cops are bastards.)

High on flu drugs and no racist rants.. Woah! And also clarity! Woah!

[-] tanisnikana@lemmy.world 1 points 6 hours ago

Clarity there was luck.

I've been doing some accidental cunkposting here and there.

[-] slacktoid@lemmy.ml 2 points 4 hours ago

Cunk! No! Please never

The Ancient Greeks died out when they suddenly realized they were all made of marble, and stopped breathing and moving. They're still there, you can touch 'em and give 'em high fives, they like that, they smile inside. But outside they're dead. That's how you know. They got that "encased inside marble" bit about them that must be rough to live with.

Someone should rape the Met police...just once so as not to upset them.

Huh? This is about an officer that was raped.

[-] SeeMarkFly@lemmy.ml 28 points 12 hours ago

No, this was about an officer that was told her rape was "no big deal" because she was only raped once.

I suggested that her censors should try it once to see how much trama it causes them.

I'm willing to bet they ALL decline my offer.

Well, if they have the option to deny and they do agree, it's not rape.

[-] SeeMarkFly@lemmy.ml 2 points 8 hours ago

I'm going for the trama.

[-] exaybachae@startrek.website 8 points 11 hours ago

Somebody should show them what that means.

So, Lemmy and associates.

Is she a bastard too? The phrase is absolutist. Is a rape victim also a perpetrator of corruption and rape culture?

Go on, now's your chance. 'ACAB no exceptions' is what I see daily. Put your money where your mouth is, or shut up and stop using it.

[-] Th4tGuyII@fedia.io 4 points 4 hours ago

Because those who perpetuate the systemic abuse of others through abuse of authority can't ever themselves end up as victims of that same system?

That's pigeon shitting on a chessboard level of gotcha right there.

[-] neukenindekeuken@sh.itjust.works 11 points 7 hours ago

This is not the "gotcha" you think it is, and says a lot more about you than any other point you were trying to foolishly make.

[-] CrypticCoffee@lemmy.ml 1 points 4 hours ago

Ah, an enlightened centrist throwing out a phrase I have not seen once in the years I have been here to try and win some fake argument for their own fragile but stinky ego.

Do you not see how insufferable you are behaving?

[-] PoastRotato@lemmy.world 18 points 9 hours ago* (last edited 9 hours ago)

The implication that a victim of rape cannot possibly also be responsible, directly or indirectly, for the perpetration of rape culture is just as foolishly absolutist as you claim the phrase to be.

[-] NoneOfUrBusiness@fedia.io 9 points 9 hours ago

Is she a bastard too?

I mean, probably? Police systems pretty universally force cops to act like bastards in certain situations (anything to do with labor, for one), but we can't know what she personally did.

[-] southsamurai@sh.itjust.works 10 points 10 hours ago

Really? Rage bait shit like that can go back to fucking reddit
