“As Bowie reminds us, abusers do not look or act a certain way. They aren’t pure evil. They aren’t monsters. They are men and women, and everything in between, and sometimes they are the ones we love. When we tell ourselves that we need to overlook rape and sexual assault, just this once—because it was a long time ago and he did so much good and meant so much to so many—we become part and parcel of the rape culture we otherwise decry. The marginalized communities who embraced Bowie’s music are better than that, and we owe them and ourselves more than that.”
Are you motherfucking serious? Are you actually fucking serious right now? Heaven forbid a fucking LEGEND receive any respect after his death as long as brainless “feminists” have anything to say about it. You’re talking about rape charges that he was CLEARED OF. The accuser seriously claimed that he “exposed her to AIDS”, despite the fact that both she and Bowie tested negative for it.
Shit like this, and the people like you that repost it, honestly make me fucking sick. You are just another reason why no woman in any first-world nation needs what is laughably being labeled as “feminism” these days. You have no fucking respect, and you don’t care who you exploit–living or dead–so long as you can continue to pretend to be society’s biggest victim, despite being so revoltingly fucking privileged that a man’s life can even be snuffed out in a public street over a single, spiteful false accusation.
Fuck you, and fuck your “rape culture” bullshit. Get educated before you use someone’s fucking DEATH as an excuse to whine about something that DOESN’T EVEN FUCKING EXIST.
On a parting note, it’s funny how people will bring up false accusations to demonize a man after his death (”Oh no! This MALE is receiving too much love and attention! I HAVE TO MAKE THIS ABOUT THE STRUGGLES OF PRIVILEGED WHITE WOMEN!!”), but will scream from the top of every mountain that Sarah Nyberg somehow magically didn’t admit to wanting to fuck her 6-year-old cousin literally hundreds of times in her own forum (she absolutely did), and that it’s totally “normal” that Lena Dunham diddled her younger sister since INFANCY.
I guess it’s totally okay to molest actual children, so long as you call yourself a “feminist”.
Remember when this revolting overrated pig openly admitted to molesting her own baby sister her entire childhood and basically got a pass? Yeah let that sink in.
