Also the way this whole situation is being memed online, and the lack of cobtextualization. You realize andrew tate was found out to be keeping 6 women captive and forcing them to make pornography and raping them. HE HELD SIX WOMEN CAPTIVE. This is in no way "a funny internet moment situation", the fact that this couldnt be done without greta and twitter is sad and alarming. And the trial is nowhere near happening, he is not sentenced yet, "the evil" is not "defeated"
and this isn’t a rare case either here in eastern europe, laws that would protect women are nearly non-existent, rape is almost impossible to prove, even violent rapists and even sex traffickers regularly get away with it
#when I was a young teen we had one of those prevention classes and we were straight up told not to call the police#if we manage to fight off an attacker because we would be the ones who get a fine or a sentence (even if there are witnesses or cameras)#pepper sprays are especially illegal and if we have one we are immediately considered the aggressor#don't know about the specific laws in#romania#and every other country in the eastern block but I know we all have this problem and the laws are similarly unfair#posts I commented on#current events#internet#greta thunberg#Twitter
