It’s hard to take someone seriously who doesn’t put g’s on the end of words in a reply to rape allegations.

I take it as sincerity.

[Save the dolphin flip]

What a shit fest. This forum is one big government social experiment gone wrong lol. You got the sjw simps vs the insensitive but objective guys.







Thanks, y'all bring out the worst in humanity.

[hateboard]

I think this just goes to show how lame instagram / social media in general has become. All these retards on here who take what is written as gospel because someone wrote it on a multiple image slideshow in a nice font are no better than the suckers who end up in scientology and religious cults. It isn't perfect but the legal system exists for a reason. Im not buying Figgys story any more than the girls for what its worth.

[heckler]

the insensitive but objective guys.

lol

[sexualhelon]

Remember when Instagram was just photographers / pretty photos?

[mtvic]

The worst thing about social media, in my opinion, is that the vast majority of people will not accept being wrong if/when presented with facts contrary to their position or opinion. For some reason humility is almost non-existent. If this girl comes out and says sorry that she was wrong (I’m not saying she was wrong, I don’t really know as I wasn’t there) I hope the people who have made accusations on this site apologize for jumping the gun. One day, if it hasn’t happened already, I fear that this cancel culture will push an innocent to commit suicide.

[masturskater]

If both of them are willing to make public statements on the matter, then they should make a joint public statement to stop everyone from speculating and then settle this shit privately.

I understand this is a serious issue, but they need to grow the fuck up and settle their shit like adults. If they feel they can't do that on their own then lawyer up. Don't expect your friends or the internet to resolve it for you.

This thread is a real gallery of some of the worst posters Slap has to offer.

Statistically she's telling the truth, so I'd forgive people for believing her. And you took the "ruined life" trope lawyers and media use for rape perpetrators to an extreme, which is quite something.

   She said she did not remember.  How did Figgys account of the night even differ from hers?  And if something qualifies to you as a 'trope' does that means it can not hold water to any degree?

She said she hadn't brought anyone home in a while, he said she had a boyfriend. That's just one that sticks out immediately.

She made a long statement about what happened just to say "I don't remember." Right. But that's beside the point. My point, as an answer to the previous post is: "Statistically she's telling the truth, so I'd forgive people for believing her."

And I'm not talking about Figgy's account at all, but the posters who chastise people for believing women when statistically women who do come forward with these account are telling the truth.

A 'trope' doesn't mean something doesn't happen. It means that this is a technique people use to shift the focus away from the victim and their suffering in order to arouse compassion for the perpetrator.

  Long statment but included saying that the whole night was a wash -remembers nothing.  -Is that what youre saying shes statistally telling the truth about?  -okay(?)   Also your saying the trope is Figgys life could get ruined by a rape accusation.    Are you saying anyone mentioning this is actually a "perpetrator" whos shifting focus away from the "victim"?  The lanquange you are using leaves NO room for Figgys possible innocence.   You have already ruled here that he's the perpetrator so what do you need us or a court sys. for?  -You're good.

[Lenny the Fatface]

My biggest gripe between this and the KA thread was that dudes were suggesting that by pointing out holes in a story, or questioning the situation automatically meant that you are in support of rape and/or abuse.

I specifically explained what I meant by that in my reply to you, in very simple terms. But I'll try to simplify it even more for you. Ready?

If a woman comes forward with allegations of sexual harassment or rape, the chances of her telling the truth are waaaaaaay higher than the chances of her lying. Therefore, it is not strange that posters here choose to believe her.

Hey Alan, I’m not making a trope here, at least not intentionally. What I’m saying is that this cancel culture moves very quickly in our social media society and has the potential to cause quite a bit of harm to innocent people. Even if the lady comes out and says she is wrong, there will still be a number of people who associate figgy as a rapist. It reminds me a lot of rumors when I was growing up, they’re easy to start and nearly impossible to end. I agree that most women are likely telling the truth, but we must also allow people to plead their case and have the presumption of innocence. As for being blacked out I used to black out often, I had no idea what I said or did at times and I’ve seen myself on video where I Seemed rather coherent, even though I wouldn’t remember it.

  An account of not remembering anything is not a rape allegation tho.  She alledged that he fucked her while she was still wearing a tampon and that it was doggystyle i presume cause of the mascara on the pillow.  If you were making some general statement unrelated to the thread then ur just wasting peoples time.

[givecigstosurfgroms]

On kinda another topic talking mad explicit shit to everyone about a girl you hooked up with is a form of sexual violence.  I dunno if actually violence is the word but it is a violation.  Don't be that guy.  Or fuck you if you are, Im never an audience for that.
  also related why was dirtbag p the sex shame safe zone for slap?

I think most people would definitely welcome hearing the other side address the allegation, and if it turns out the accused is innocent, as rare as that happens, that should definitely be acknowledge in future discussions about that person.

[Dick_Hurts]

She told her side, he told his. I happen to believe him but I hope she can heal and I hope she doesn't stop posting nudes as I enjoy them.

[passtheish]

A summary

Woman gives account of drunk、non-consensual sex.

Many SLAPers immediately start calling her a bitch and accusing her of lying

Figgy gives alternate account

Same SLAPers willingly believe it and say “case closed” without a hint of irony not a bit the same kind of suspicion they afforded the woman.

This is misogyny

Definitely This . It's really sad that this is what the skate community is.

Really I think you missed my point. If the lady came and said she was wrong how many people who jumped on the hate figgy he is a rapist stuff will apologize?  It’s nice to think that subsequent conversations about him would say that he isn’t a rapist but that really wouldn’t help nor likely happen and the damage would be done.
