hannahbanana Posted November 15, 2014 Share Posted November 15, 2014 http://thesmokinggun.com/documents/drunk-girl-viral-hoax-video-785463 So there was a video released recently, spurred by the viral video of a woman getting catcalled in NYC, of a drunk girl walking through the streets, and men trying to take advantage of her state. It turns out that it was all staged, and furthermore, the men in the video were lied to, being told that the video was for a student film, and a comedy. I'm pretty disgusted by the underwhelming response. Most sources don't make a big deal out of it, and some even try to pull things like "Sure it was a hoax, but it reveals the true nature of how our culture treats consent." Not sure exactly what that means, or how a fake video gives any truth or information regarding this statement: http://www.independent.co.uk/voices/comment/is-the-youtube-video-of-men-trying-to-take-a-drunk-girl-home-fake-does-it-matter-9858512.html I guess this shouldn't surprise me, but it's still pretty upsetting. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wuzzums Posted November 15, 2014 Share Posted November 15, 2014 "Is the YouTube video of men trying to take a 'drunk girl' home fake? Does it matter?" "Are jews not actually to blame for all of Germany's woes and not an inferior race? Does it matter?" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kahvi Posted November 15, 2014 Share Posted November 15, 2014 If it were real, the message it is sending to me is "Don't be stupid and get blitzed out of your mind in public places." Of course there will be people who will want to take advantage of a woman in that condition. It's not an indictment of men in general and is gives no further credence to this "rape culture" bullshit. If a man were to walk around a city with cash half hanging out of his pocket and it was stolen, everyone would be telling him that he's a fucking moron for walking around with cash half hanging out of his pocket. But feminists want everyone to believe that a scantily-clad, drunk-ass woman who gets raped is purely a victim who had no control of her situation.

Ken Cotton Posted November 16, 2014 Share Posted November 16, 2014 Reducing women's personal responsibility for their safety is a disservice to women in general. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackfish64 Posted November 16, 2014 Share Posted November 16, 2014 I see a drunk girl, or a drunk man walking down the street, I steer completely clear of them. Have a nice day! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
