#metoo

12 posts12 participants1 post today

have a hard time trusting ppl, especially Black folks that want us to live in these digital silos. After the Civil Rights era digital activism has been one of the primary ways to hold ppl accountable. #metoo #blm & many others wouldn’t have had the impact if it was gated behind #fediverse instances. I get that there’s a lot of white people here so it’s not really a thought, it’s easier to just block out and isolate and pretend the bad stuff isn’t there. Black and Brown folks don’t typically have that luxury & it’s not usually just the threat of mean words but fairly often the threat of physical harm

There's a reason these sorts of actors never get any work now, they're awful people.
Why should anyone have to put up with this?

I commend Bella Thorne's bravery in speaking out, but she should have to be having these experience in the Entertainment industry now.

@mhoye add to that anger being one of the few socially acceptable emotions for men...

That goes towards explaining some of what #metoo is about

One exception to the usual rules of male emotion occurs during live sport: where hugging, and crying are acceptable. There is a reason it is so popular.

I like to read the news. I read across a broad range of content. I sometimes look at the Metro because although it's a shit publication, it's sometimes unintentionally funny and it's the most read news publication in the UK. However their 'news' is just repeating what randoms on social media reckon about stuff.....

Jammybuns from TikTik commented: ‘She didn’t cut it out of our show, the other week. We got a very big scoop and I 100% believe her.’

Any #Christofascist want to leave #Brand alone w/their daughter or wife?
"Not that many of them will engage w/the actual allegations against Brand, lest their view of him as a godly man get disturbed, but frankly, the details are shocking even in the #MeToo era. One alleged victim said she was 16 when she 1st had a sexual relationship w/the 31-year-old Brand. She says he orally raped her so violently that she started to choke, only escaping by punching him the stomach."
