@@simgem Yes, exactly, they seem very respectful of women, but also, anyone who has been, or potentially could be, SA'd. I'm not Hindu either, but I have a lot of respect for their faith, and, though I'm not religious myself, I think they have some of the most awesome deities in just about any religion. Kali, though she represents destruction and death and rage, also represents change, and creation. She's a multifaceted Goddess, and I think she's a perfect representation for the message the song is sending.

Does that include Shane Seyer, who at 13 had been raped by his female babysitter, and then subsequently ordered to pay her child support despite her having been convicted in the criminal trial? Or every other boy or man in a similar situation where every single judge, without fail, ruled exactly the same due to the precedent set by Hermesmann vs. Seyer? Does it include the 1,715,000 men that the CDC's 2012 NIPSVS discovered had been raped... sorry... "made to penetrate" (as the CDC calls it) within the previous 12 months, over 80% of whom had a female perpetrator? Compare that figure to the 1,473,000 female victims of what the CDC did consider to be rape within the exact same time frame. Yes, you did read those numbers right. Does it include my boyfriend, himself a rape survivor? Since, y'know, we're talking collective responsibility for a specific kind of crime on the part of a specific demographic (and only that demographic) that hosts millions upon millions of victims of such crimes.

@@tundrance Is it only men? That’s a rather extraordinary claim. I assume you have extraordinary evidence to back up your claim that it is *_only men_* to blame for female rapists being swept under the rug. While you’re doing your darndest to scrounge up the evidence I’m sure you have, ponder this quote by high profile feminist (and woman) Mary Koss: “It is inappropriate to consider as a rape victim a man who engages in unwanted sexual intercourse with a woman.” The very same Mary Koss who served as senior consultant, expert panelist, advisor, etc. etc. etc. with the CDC on the very same National Intimate Partner and Sexual Violence Surveys whose 2012 numbers I quoted verbatim in my previous reply. In which they followed her “expert” advice exactly and *_excluded female-on-male rape from the definition of rape._* She served in that capacity for *_decades._* Ponder also the fact that in Israel, they almost passed a law that would have expanded the definition of rape to include instances of female-on-male rape, and it was shut down. By feminist groups. I’m sure some of the members of those groups were men. But I highly doubt all. Or even most. Just a hunch.

[@radicaldreamer927]

@@tundrance Also, I like how your response to me conclusively proving that a highly significant number of rapists are women is not to acknowledge that this should therefore be an issue that is everybody's responsibility to address, heavens to Betsy no, your response is to double down on the idea that it is men's and *_only men's_* responsibility because... it's allegedly only other men who make it more difficult for male rape victims to be taken seriously. That niggling little detail that the vast majority of those who rape men are women is inconsequential, of course.

Now that I am older and I broke free, nearly dying to free my three sisters who were lucky not to be abducted but in a bad situation also... it feels so... freeing to hear that there are men that actually understand the pain and want to help... you can hear the rage and anger in their voices.

I realize that, in India, they legally don't acknowledge all forms of rape, but I'm from the US.

[@TheKarret]

@@DrachonaTheWolf tbh, this is still a step in the right direction - the overwhelming amount of rapists are men, even if sometimes their victims are also men. Female rapists exist and they're horrible for sure, but most of the world - the West included - lets even male rapists get away; there are extremely powerful men - who each rape hundreds of women; and they were allowed to do so for _decades._ Yes, there are female rapists and they're horrible... but I don't know exactly how many of them have the reach, power and body count that male rapists often have. Currently, male rapists are the biggest threat; they simply aren't the only threat. They also talked about "change their kind with my mind" but until then, they beat up the rapists. I mean shit, there are male survivors here in the comment section supporting this song, so you're not even speaking out for some unheard or unseen victims.

[@TheKarret]

@@DrachonaTheWolf Also, with the line "Fuck every man for himself; It's every man for every man and everybody else" like... you could also interpret "man" in the general "mankind" way, where all huMANs look out for each other, which would mean everyone looking out for all survivors. But you just want to see things in an adversarial light where no one cares about the issues you're talking about, sowing more division instead of helping to solve the problem and be a part of the human collective working to make the world a better place. Re-evaluate your priorities a little and learn when the fight you're talking about needs to happen; because there are definitely times where the points you're bringing up are good and needed.... but this isn't one of those times. At least not in the way you broached it.

Scandinavian here, playlists full of soft voices and melodies - love haunting kind of sad songs - quiet songs like musical poetry. I want my music to say all of the things I feel and have no words for in a pretty and soulful way. Something I can whisper along with and still feel understood. That being said, I fucking love this song. I don't know the words and the culture is foreign, but the rage - the message. It's in my bones.

[@mariaf.1732]

@@thespcrewroy8716 People in Sweden should rape less? I would argue people everywhere should rape less. As a victim I get to indulge in selfish thoughts of violence and anger: This piece of absolute art speaks to that (in regards to myself)- and to the mentality of community responsibility to stop a rampant issue of victimizing others. People holding each other accountable and responsible for stopping problematic/rapist culture. But I do not condone a government - mine or my neighbor's - to abuse their power against its' citizen - because you cannot treat a symptom of dysfunction with more dysfunctional behavior: You cannot make a person change by making them suffer, and a country cannot abuse their citizen and remain civilized. That's not what my comment was meant to convey, and I apologize if I gave you some kind of impression by mentioning my roots. I only meant to highlight that I'm foreign to the subtleties and significance of the nuance in the video - and despite that, it still speaks to me in a way I understand and connect with. I would rather my abusers be treated professionally and humanely (because we have the means to), so that they never abuse, rape, or molest another ever again, than giving in to satisfy my darkest and innermost desires of vengeance. It's not my call to make, but since you replied with your comment here, I'll make my stance clear. My monsters were born and bred from my own country's soil: And they're not the only monsters native to my country. We have our own issues with the old preying on the young - with violence, and with rape. We don't need to point outwards because the issue is not something suddenly arriving, it's been here since those who could and would began to take: And that issue is as old as human kind, directly related to how we nurture and treat our kids and each other. Furthermore, I've been met with more kindness from complete strangers than my own family - my own friends and lovers would continue in ignorant bliss than confront wolves in their midst, or change their own predatory ways. I wouldn't be so fast to condemn those foreign just because they seem unfamiliar. Your mind is conditioned to seek out what is familiar because you know what to expect and the unknown feels dangerous. In Scandinavia we have many generations of familial bonding with our neighbors who look and sound and think similar to ourselves - but that doesn't mean that the traumatized asylum-seeking or hopeful immigrating population deserve any less of what we might offer: For would we not be some kind of monsters to prey on them? In a way, that is victimizing them for not being born and raised among us, and that is also monstrous, in my opinion. It helps to think of all people as human beings, same as you - regardless of skin tone, heritage, or culture. We are people, and all people deserve a space for growth and understanding. Please, be kind. Immigration politics are unnecessary in this forum. Rape is rape, no matter who does it.

[@qantaloupemelon2791]

Of course violent solves nothing, but whoever defines self-expression and violence, needs to reconsider the definition of self expression and violence. Thinking or saying the things you angrily desire to do to those who have harmed you, that’s not violence, that’s venting. As long as it doesn’t exceed that and it’s not repetitive for years on end, meaning you’re not basically wallowing into the emotion and just expressing oneself like they are here, which I expect also you’re probably in the good so don’t worry, but anyways yeah I’m just describing and further validating that there’s nothing wrong here, and this does not go in the category of violence, rather self expression, which is important. Your feelings are hurt, and they need to be heard. It’s about time that we take away the stigma of expressing oneself in whatever means necessary as long as it’s not harming anyone. You don’t have to be nice and express yourself, that’s hindering. If you have to think about social norms while self expressing, then that’s sad. I wish you much healing, and much love and hugs 💕🤗

Big part of the problem is the ridiculous "us against them" that exist between genders and it really doesn't make sense.

I like that the lead dancer painted herself in dark blue, which imply that she portrays herself as Kali, the goddess of destruction and power. While various mythologies tend to associate goddess with beauty, love, motherhood, or fertility, Kali from Hindu mythology is associated with time, change, power, creation, and destruction. She is the illustration of Shakti and she destroys the evil in order to protect the innocent. In a song about fighting sexual violence and protecting sexual assault victims, portraying Kali as an icon is very suiting, in my opinion.

Kali Maa is also a Mother Goddess. In some myths She is born from Durga's rage at Her children being harmed. Kali is sometimes viewed as an incarnation of the collective protective fury of mothers.

@@justincider8892 its one thing to condemn it and another thing to constantly allow it to happen even if you're just doing it subconsciously. if more guys put their foot down and threaten bashing a rapists head in, i think more men would take it seriously than if a woman says it.

I love how Bloodywood has broken most stereotypes of metal bands being run by hyper masculine/ misogynist men, especially in our country where metal music is rare to see. I wish a bright future ahead for them, into mainstream culture and the popularity that they deserve

man. like half of the time I listen to this, I start crying. like as a survivor of repeat sexual abuse and assault it means so much. it's not treated as a simple thing to not due just because it's bad, it's because it ruins people's lives and it's a disgusting thing to do that affects *real people.* idk so many messages about anti rape and the like feels so flat but this feels so genuine. like they *actually* care and it's not parroting it from other people. this song makes me feel believed and protected in a weird way I can't explain

11 years ago a stranger broke into my home and raped me... very violently. The attack lasted around 4 hours. He beat me and choked me and threatened my life. I am lucky to be alive. I didn't have the strength to turn him in. I stayed home from work and healed for a few days and then just went on as if nothing happened. I finally found the strength to talk about it in 2017. I tell my story now in hopes that other individuals going through a similar situation know they are not alone. I felt alone in my secret for so long. If you have experienced sexual violence in your life and you're afraid to talk, please break your silence. Don't let the monster take anything else from you. I spent years in my own personal hell. It wasn't necessary. I now know everyone still loved me and respected me despite what had happened. And that beast no longer has power over me. If you are struggling with your own story, know that I love you. This song shows that there are people half way around the world from me that would've protected me. There are so many good men out there. Thank you Bloodywood for making this song. It gives me hope for my daughter's future.
