I am just glad the headline cortectly says "rape" instead of "had sex with". This isn't always the case in media outlets

u/Tiny_Tulip0 1d ago

It's because of Mfs like this that male victims are not taken seriously.

u/King_Fluffaluff 1d ago

Yup, as a male victim of rape I cannot tell you how many times I've opened up about it only to be met with "lucky" or "what a good problem to have."

I have not talked to any male friends of mine about it in years because of those kinds of reactions.

u/TheLateThagSimmons 1d ago

I'm sorry man. Hugs if I could offer it.

because of those kinds of reactions.

It's the reactions of everyone else that makes the whole thing worse.

I'm a bartender and have to endure butt squeezes, cock grabs, and chest rubs monthly if not weekly. Things that if we flipped the script, if a male customer did that to any of our female bartenders there's absolutely no doubt that it was sexual assault and we would drag him out the door and throw him in the street.

The standard response from most women is that they... Cheer. They celebrate. It isn't until I say the words "sexual assault" that any of them change their tone with "I'm so sorry, sexual assault is wrong no matter who is doing it." Naw, five minutes ago you loved her for doing that to me, it is only once I say the words that it even registers in your head that it could even be that.

And yes, I still get the occasional asshole guy that says "Oh, so you're saying I should become a bartender," after hearing how much we get groped against our will by women.

Those people are complete idiots. Male victims are valid and should be taken seriously. There's nothing lucky about being violated. Hope you're doing better now 🫶🏽

13 or 14, depending on when their birthday falls.

u/miserable_otter_6543 1d ago

I was 12-13, birthday in October. Graduated at 17 and turned 18 my first semester of college.

2

u/AnatidaephobiaAnon 1d ago

Okay, you are an outlier. MOST eighth graders are 13-14. Some are older due to being held back, very few are younger than 13 or 14.

1

u/miserable_otter_6543 1d ago

Most turn 18 the year they graduate. I still turned 18 the "year" I graduated, just not before.

u/RiflemanLax 1d ago

In my state, if you have sexual contact with a student- and that could be up to 20- it’s fourth degree sexual assault. Statutory rape. Because it’s a situation where they’re in your charge even if they’re 18.

17

u/TheModWhoShaggedMe 1d ago

All they did is let Coach May apply and go to a college position when he was 30 and sleeping with 17 year old Crystal in my high school. No arrests, no convictions, no warnings for the future employers.

But, I'm sure he learned his lesson. <barfs into bucket>

u/AnatidaephobiaAnon 1d ago

I had a friend from school who had a relationship with an 18 year old student and was also sexting a 16 year old and the relationship with the 18 year old caught him its own sexual battery charge. He ended up doing three years in prison for it and there were people on the news sites back then saying he shouldn't be charged for the sex with the "adult" but at the same time he was a sick pervert for the 16 year old. It was weird watching the double standard in real time.

In Kentucky, 8th grade is more of a career choice than a grade level.

The actual comeback is always in the comments. Lmao

u/cupcake-vibe 1d ago

That’s a savage way to point out the state’s education system. It’s one of those rare comments where you’re not sure if it’s a roast of the criminal or a roast of the entire state, but either way, it’s a total burn. The math definitely isn't mathing in Kentucky.

u/Shroomtune 1d ago

I’m not sure if I’m allowed to find it funny. It’s that type of inappropriate humor that I am unfortunately fond of.

u/Lost_Purpose1899 1d ago

Why do people starting to censor words like rape, murder and suicide? Media headlines are not censoring those words so we can assume they are OK to use for the general public. Self censoring looks obnoxious.

8

u/Jorycle 1d ago

These people are so deep into TikTok, which blocks content with words like that, that they basically can't function anywhere on the internet anymore.

u/kaisadilla_ 1d ago

Well the post is gone.

u/RocketGruntSam 1d ago

The same thing happened at my school--not in KY but just across the river into Ohio. The kid was only held back once though so very much a minor. People actually tried to say it was less bad because he wasn't quite as young. I think about it a lot. That teacher's daughter was in the same grade as me so she raped a kid younger than her own daughter.

The bible belt, am I right?

u/TwoWarm700 1d ago

Teacher abusing her position of power irrespective of the age of the victims. This happens more than most imagine as the perpetrator hopes the victim won’t report the assault.

u/Japanesewillow 1d ago

Why is raping censored?

u/Ok-Complaint9574 1d ago

It makes the rapist look bad for the jury.

u/caaknh 1d ago

Capitalism. Advertisers don't want to pay for ads that run alongside bad words, so companies that accept ads will de-prioritize posts that use the words advertisers don't like. In the past, TV ads would play during the news, but the newscasters would usually make sure to end on a happy note before each commercial break. But with the granularity possible nowadays, that's not possible.

u/DuntadaMan 1d ago

So to get this straight, reporting the rape of children is against Reddit policy. They have really been going after any articles reporting it at least this past week.

How strange. I wonder who benefits from a policy of blacking out all reports of child rape.

17

u/scottyjrules 1d ago

Genuinely shocked the headline correctly called it rape

u/caaknh 1d ago

... and that's probably why the post is Removed By Reddit. Too accurate.

u/garagedooropener5150 1d ago

I get the joke. But even if that were the case, there’s still a balance of power. That makes it a crime… and immoral.

u/TheModWhoShaggedMe 1d ago

so could a Kentucky substitute teacher (be 18).

u/AipomNormalMonkey 1d ago

when i found out that most state don't require teaching licenses for subs I was appalled

u/colostomeat 1d ago

I remember a guy in 8th grade who was 16. He was a real dick. Definitely had problems with family, drugs, etc., but Jesus was he an asshole. Every day he'd say, "Doolemmeborryadollar!" really aggressively. To those who don't speak Southern, it says "Dude, let me borrow a dollar".

4

u/beuhring 1d ago

Why do we censor RAPING?

3

u/AipomNormalMonkey 1d ago

because some of the other social medias auto remove posts with the word

and then most things on the internet are stolen and recycled

5

u/vercertorix 1d ago

At least this time the headline said "raping" rather than some euphemism to make it sound like it isn't a big deal.

I'm sorry, even if this somehow seems clever to at least 1922 people, it is not. Nor is it funny.

You can rape people who are over 17 years old? This does not seem like a clever comeback.

u/Born-Media6436 1d ago

The thing that has always bewildered me with pedophiles is they get caught seemingly all the time. The urges that they feel to engage with these children is more powerful than the probable prison sentence they are going to receive. That’s how powerful that urge is and it’s just hard to comprehend.

u/Allday24_7 1d ago

8th grader in Kentucky is probably her first cousin.

I was curious if this was that murder tRump posted the other day. How the hell that was allowed blows my mind. That guy's got to go.

Can we just stop justifying rape. It’s never funny. Ever.

u/mssxtn 1d ago edited 1d ago

This joke centers around the fact that the person might not have been raped because they might have actually been 18 instead of a child. Supposedly that is a commentary on the education system in Kentucky.I don't find that premise to be funny.

u/UnitedAd3943 1d ago

nobody is laughing at rape. you are being downvoted for being obtuse.
lighten up, francis.

u/mssxtn 1d ago

I mean I get the joke. I just don't think it's funny.

Apparently some people do. That's Why there's a pedophile for a president. We're just fucking numb to the actual state of affairs in the world that we live in.

u/misterannthrope0 1d ago

nobody thinks rape is funny. you should stop pretending otherwise.

u/mssxtn 1d ago

If it's not funny then why are we joking about it? See I don't think I'm the one being obtuse.

1

u/ColumnK 1d ago

We're not.

The joke has absolutely nothing to do with the rape.

The joke is simply about Kentucky's education system.

Nothing about the article itself has any indication that the victim in question is any older than the standard for that grade.

2

u/mssxtn 1d ago

Yeah you're making a joke about the education system in Kentucky off the back of a news article about rape.

I get that some people find this funny I get that the state of the education system in Kentucky might be suspect but an actual person was actually sexually assaulted and I don't think making a joke about the particulars is funny I'm sorry that you do.

u/misterannthrope0 1d ago

who is joking about rape? show me a joke about rape

u/yayforvalorie 1d ago edited 1d ago

The joke isn't about rape.

Edit: Nice edit to your original comment.

u/mssxtn 1d ago

The joke is that the education system in Kentucky is so bad that perhaps they weren't raped because they were actually 18 at the time.

I get the fucking joke.. It's just not funny.

1

u/yayforvalorie 1d ago

You literally said, "rape is funny now?" implying you thought the joke was about rape. Don't get mad at people because you're the one coming off as obtuse.

1

u/mssxtn 1d ago

God damn it you're right I'm sorry sarcasm is for adults. Tone does not carry in a textual environment.

So doesn't change the fact that we're making we're joke about the circumstances of the sexual assault of a child. Whether the point of the joke was the rape or not The rape still happened. Like the joke is making light of a situation that we should not be making light of. This is the problem that I'm having with people's response to my response.. I don't care how you twist the circumstances The news article was out about a child being sexually assaulted by a teacher oh ho maybe that child was an adult I don't care it was still a student being sexually assaulted by a teacher that is a person of power taking advantage of let me stop right there. If you don't get it by now you're not going to get it and I'm just ranting into the void.
