What I like is how it is so nakedly obviously why the cop tracked him (Not stopped him, his lights were not on and he gave no lawful orders) Brock flipped the cop the bird when he saw him harassing a woman. This, naturally, isn't in the report because that's not a legal reason to arrest someone.

a tldr of this situation is that a trans man flipped off a cop as he was driving by, which is an action protected under the first amendment, the cop stalked him, pulled him over, beat him until he had a concussion, then lied about it after the fact despite the fact there was video evidence. the trans man was then charged with three bogus felonies, sexually harassed by at least one other officer, and then put in a women’s holding cell. he has lost his job and will likely have extreme difficulty finding another and the officer — who, again, lied about an event that was caught on camera — has not faced any consequences. this man’s life has, as the article states, been ruined by the heinous, though unsurprising, actions of this cop.

fuck cops. abolish the police. and stop erasing the state sanctioned violence being perpetrated against trans masculine people. this is the third story of police violence against a trans man i’ve read about this year, and it’s only been from other trans men talking about it.

Let's all stop being weird in the notes right now, and instead shut up and put your money where your mouth is. I haven't seen his GoFundMe link posted, but as of July 26 2023, an update has explained he's still in need of assistance with bail+legal fees.

unrebloggable

maybe op made it unrebloggable because they realised that making fun of a man being sexually harassed and bullied by thousands of people wasn't very funny. i hope that's the case.

that is exactly the case. i thought when posting it that if it gained any traction at all, it would be mostly "ha, that's funny the person said that having no idea, and he's having a sense of humor about it" .. y'know like those tony hawk tweets where ppl are unaware he's literally tony hawk. every other post i've had that's gotten notes, the majority of notes are just people reblogging it not even adding anything! but instead this one turned into my entire notifications consisting of people either posting explicit comments or discoursing about if he "deserves" it or not. i'm really not interested in a constant barrage of explicit comments nor becoming the middle man of john green discourse so i turned off reblogs.

underdiscussed benefit of auditory processing issues is that I’m basically immune to catcalling because I fully. do not understand a single word of what people are saying. half the time I barely realise it’s me they’re talking to because it‘s not like I can figure it out based on content and context clues. there’s just Some Guys Yelling on the other side of the street, and it barely occurs to me to feel addressed because I am, at any given time, too busy thinking about the menacing duality of rhododendrons

Face blindness helps with this too lmao

One time a fifty year old guy came to harass me (20 in that moment) at the street acting all flirty and as he knew me, and blocked my pass.

But since I forgot half of the faces in a unfamiliar environment, I wasn’t sure if I knew him and he was acting all friendly so when he asked me how I was ,or something like that, my autistic ass nonchalant answered:

“All good! And how is the Miss?” (Cause you know everyone have some lady as a friend, mom, aunt whatever that you can refer when you have to try to pretend remember someone when you don’t)

Let me tell you, I never saw a guy back down SO quickly, apparently he was married and he thought I was indeed someone he knew and didn’t remember but more important someone who knew his wife. He instantly let my pass and stop all flirty bullshit looking extremely uncomfortable answering that she was good and at home. To what I end saying “oh, I’m late, send her regards!” And keep walking.

It took me two blocks until my brain wrapped around what actually happened, but I’m pretty sure that guy doesn’t harassed anyone else that day (just in case she seem to knew his wife).

Watching Tumblr fall into purity culture and callout frenzy once again, as if people don’t have actual shit to worry about outside of Catholicism 2: Electric Boogaloo

Wow dude it’s so chill that you nonconsentually made someone’s sexual life a public commodity in order to shame them and push them to repent, that’s so totally chill.

Y’know some of us can’t afford to fucking eat.

And ya know I’m also just gonna throw this out there: it’s really high time that we all start coming to terms with the fact that callout posts and public displays of ‘accountability’ are not healthy ways of interacting with other human beings and typically allow for actual abusers and predators to manipulate a set of social rules in order to put themselves in a position of influence while silencing all opposition.

so the academy is reviewing whether or not to remove Will Smith’s award and here are some interesting tweets about that :)

pls

The fact that they’re still tight about this after all these years is so funny to me like they must think about it every single day

Man it wasn't even the copypasta. I saw folks eviscerating the guy for daring to write YA stuff. Teen love for teens. And how that made him a pedophile. Like that's what's being talked about here. Not the cock monologue. It was the endless hate and vitriol like I remember distinctly my dash being flooded with "he's a grown man who writes stuff for kids. That's super sus of him" and him literally being called a pedophile and other such smears. Like the cock nonsense was the absolute least of what happened. Don't be a derisive dick. If you're referencing that then obviously you were around to see all the toxic bullshit too and you should know all of this

But oh noooo! It was obviously the goofy taste of balls post that did it! Because tumblr is good and always correct /s

It is particularly cruel to me that John Green was harassed essentially off of the internet in the way that he was because the poor man has OCD and is very open about it.

The way he was treated is horrible and disgusting for anyone at all, but John Green has for years and years (along with his brother Hank) tried to make the world a measurably better place while living with a horrific mental illness. A mental illness that makes something like being called a pedophile over and over again horrific in ways that unless you have OCD, or are very very close to someone who does, you will never understand because OCD targets whatever you value and makes your world a living hell over it.

And you know what? He still writes his novels, and he is still out here doing absolutely everything he can to make the world a measurably better place. The cock monologue was just the straw that broke the camel's back.

--

Also if anyone did this to my brother I would never ever forgive anyone involved. Never. The fact that they are still engaging with the internet in the way they do, with vulnerability and kindness is remarkable.

The notes on this post are shit so just to be clear: if you’re following me and you think it’s funny to harass someone, or that it doesn’t count if the victim is above a certain age or if the harassment happens online, or that it’s worse to speak out against harassment than to harass someone, unfollow me because I don’t fucking want you to interact with me

On the positive side, here’s two replies that are actually decent:

"Harassing someone non-stop for months, including graphic sexual harassment and disturbing baseless accusations of child abuse, is funny as long as I think the victim is annoying!" -a lot of people, apparently

I need to emphasize that even if the monologue was the only issue, sexual harassment still isn't funny or cool just because it's happening to a grown man. And based on all the sex and rape joke people made like a year ago when they talked about Misha Collins defending Monica Lewinsky, people have learned nothing.

I hate it when I talk wistfully about the ancient world and then people are like “you wouldn’t survive back then” yeah obviously I would die immediately but do you think achilles would be able to survive in the modern world if he had to send one polite email? no

congrats to these people on being funnier than me on my own fucking post

And he looks

The man has the legs for it honestly

WORK IT KING!!!

we stan a legend

reblogging for the last part (and also he DOES have the legs for it)

that story is total bullshit and has no source. not one interview with mark bryan mentions this supposed workplace harassment situation. he literally just started wearing skirts and heels because he likes them, its not that deep.

can we stop acting like men need some kind of “gotcha” reason to wear dresses and skirts?? constantly trying to make up some kind of justification for a guy wearing a skirt just helps uphold the shitty idea that clothes are gendered and that people like mark bryan are some kind of mystical outlier for literally just wearing the clothes they want to wear

He actually stated in this interview (2020 in the Süddeutsche Zeitung) that he began wearing high heels because he got bored of wearing suits/ formal clothing.

He said that a friend commented on his legs which would look great in skirts so he decided to give it a try. That’s the whole story.

This website makes me insane

Tumblr makes my head hurt. He still looks fantastic though.

Tiktok challenge:

Respect peoples personal space and dont record yourself committing literal crimes.

I see the list of school tiktok challenges and some of these are great ways to get yourself on a sex offender list. Which makes me wonder who made this list, what they were thinking, and if their end goal is to get kids sent to prison.

Like the school to prison pipeline was already pretty bad when I was growing up and that was before we had smartphones.

“Those poor boys”

“She deserves to be punished too.”

“I’m not saying I support rape, but-”

“Sorry to say - she deserved it.”

“She put herself in harm’s way”

“But if she was fingered, then that’s not rape.”

“She ruined their lives.”

“Well she didn’t exactly say ‘no’..”

“Yea, but did you see what she was wearing?”

“Boys will be boys!”

“She should know better than to drink at a party…”

Cannot not reblog.

“She should have tried to enjoy–”

“She’s just saying something now for atten-“

boy am i glad this has so many notes

“But he’s a dude. That’s not ra-”

  “He should’ve enjoyed it.”

“She must’ve lead him on.”

“But she orgasmed. That means she liked it - “

“She’s slept with so many people! She’s a slut-“

“Get over it, at least you’re still a virgin”

“Women can’t rape because…”

“Be grateful it wasn’t a man!”

“I’m sorry she hurt you but don’t call what happened to you rape, it’s an insult to the REAL victims…”

“You weren’t raped, you’re just lesbophobic.”

“She shouldn’t have posted provocative photos!”

“She shouldn’t have been dressed like that … she was asking for it!”

“It’s the woman’s responsibility to not put herself in dangerous situations, she should have been more aware.”

reblogging because it’s gotten even better since last time

I love this post!

“Well he paid for dinner, she kind of owed him.”

“She’s his wife, it’s her job to please him.”

“Oral isn’t rape.”

“Well he wasn’t armed, she could have walked away.”

“Guys can’t be raped, they love sex!”

“She didn’t fight back; it wasn’t rape.”

A good post

I like that people included male rape victims as well! This is a good post

“They shouldn’t have gone out with someone they met online.”

always always reblog

Even my ghost shall reblog this.

The power of reblog compels you, mortals!

I don’t understand how real people can think like this

Rebloging this because I support this cause, and want to punch these rape supporters in the face.

if someone commented "mommy? sorry" on a picture or video of me i'd be like oh yeah you're about to be

like idk i don't think i'm just being a killjoy about this one. commenting shit like that on random strangers' selfies or tiktoks or whatever doesn't feel like a compliment it's just uncomfortable to see and honestly comes across as really fetishizing. like 'mommy' IS a kink thing it's not something you can just call random people on the internet without their consent, it's the kind of thing that honestly could get you done for sexual harassment irl, and if that makes me a prude then shave my head and call me Brother James i guess.

love how it’s become completely normal and acceptable to say explicitly sexual shit to random strangers on the internet, especially if they’re women. girl on tiktok has more than a b cup? top comments on anything she posts are automatically “mommy sorry mommy sorry”. woman on the internet is pretty and also feminine? “submissive and breedable” like that’s not the exact kind of gross, infantilizing shit women hear irl every single day. i constantly see comments on teenagers’ posts saying “hey don’t sexualize her she’s a minor” like it’s not weird or misogynistic to talk about a stranger’s “mommy milkers” online so long as she’s 18 or older. fuck. maybe i’m a prude but i just don’t think you should get to make gross objectifying comments at random strangers just because you think the veneer of a mom fetish makes it #coolquirkyandprogressive instead of just creepy

and this is one of those cases where i absolutely agree with the “well it happens to men too” addition. bc it’s not subversive or feminist to spam random men with “looking submissive and breedable” or pegging jokes or whatever brand of sexual harassment is cool now. it’s just gross.

This is so sexc :/
