What?! You mean...there is no difference at all between being a victim, and having a victim mentality? Damnit! 😏

If it turns out she was definitively assaulted, we'd have another attitude. Furthermore, no one is blaming her. They're not saying, "It's your fault such and such happened to you." They are questioning whether it was assault based on her and his actions, which is how you analyze any scenario like this. To victim blame, you have to say something like, "It's her fault she had that dick in her face because she was wearing a short skirt." not, "It's unclear whether this is assault because she appears to have given consent and then decided later that she didn't consent." (I'm not going to argue whether anyone's interpretations of the events is the same as mine. We've been over this.) What revived this thread was a wall of text aimed aimed at insulting those who disagree.
My issue is with those proclaiming that nothing untoward happened. That's all, nothing more.

As an actual victim of an SA, I can wholeheartedly say to those who still think I was victim blaming: you can go Fuck right off. You know nothing and you have a lot of fucking nerve.

I am a rape survivor myself.
