[@gameznotgames2435]

I have brought up this issue with men in my life (not this gross dude, but having unresolved mental issues) and the answer always seems to be: "What good is talking about it going to do?" or "I can just talk to you about it." While I am happy to listen, I unfortunately never finished my psych degree after the epilepsy got out-of-hand and am nowhere near the hours I need to be qualified. I cannot provide the tools or resources that a licensed professional can. Yes, speaking to a professional is entirely different than family or friends. There is a reason they go to school and have to intern for so long. They use different methods (depending on what they studied in particular or currently practice) to help you approach issues from different angles with different actions to help end up with different (hopefully better) results than where you're at. I think this concept is woefully lost on the majority of boys and men out there- most especially the ones who need it the most. The specific issue of rape has always been one met with skepticism and ridicule, regardless as to gender, but I can see that it is far less believed within the male community. This is astounding considering that 1 in 5 girls will experience childhood sexual abuse and 1 in 8 boys will. Now, that's just the reported numbers. I personally have not met another woman who hasn't experienced something horrific below the age of 17. I don't have any doubts the numbers are higher for men, too. I know it took my cousin a long time to get over the undue shame he felt, the questioning of his sexuality (children are not sexual beings, so this is a moot point), and ultimately feeling weak and disempowered from the whole experience. This idea that the only appropriate emotion for men to show is anger is stupid. You're just as human as the rest of us and anger is such a surface-level emotion. Dig deeper. What's beneath it? Frustration? Shame? Confusion? Digust? Remorse? Shock? Sadness? Regret? YOU ARE NOT ROBOTS: FEEL YOUR FEELS. I had no idea this was going on on TikTok, but I definitely would have sent some emails to the US Team as it turns out they aren't doing the ban on Sunday (shocker.) I will say that it's a bit insulting to say that this mockery of victimization and giving a platform to predators is unique to men. Without getting too into it: look at those in positions of power. Look at freaking Nick Fuentes who single-handedly has traumatized an entire generation of school-aged girls with his stupid catchphrase.....which was immediately turned around on him in the form of, "Your house, my choice." Dude ran to mommy for safety while people destroyed his house. Such a based, red-pilled, alpha male right there. I live in a Frontline ban state where the threat of this very thing is made on a regular basis. Women and GIRLS are getting DMs with the most repugnant stuff ever written. I am honestly considering arming myself and I despise those things....but it is an ever-present and very real threat.

[@gameznotgames2435]

I genuinely recommend that anyone who has had any kind of traumatic event (that is defined by you, nobody else. It can be as simple as not feeling good about yourself because someone said really ugly things to you), give counseling a go before you knock it, ESPECIALLY if you have the insurance to do so. It is a process of trial and error to find the right one, but most do free consultations where you can ask questions and get to know them a bit. Highly recommend going through Psychology Today as they do some pretty damn good vetting on the people they list. You can filter by preferred age, gender, background, method of meeting (online/in-person), ect. You just shoot off some request for consults and you'll usually hear back in a very short amount of time (they really do want to help. Most go into this line of work because they care, not for the money). Alma is also a good resource, but whatever way you get there- give it a go. No judgement, nobody telling you how messed up you are, just someone listening and trying to help.

@@boogidwnej179 if fleece actually served time for all +150 individuals he hurt, he'd still be in jail, even if he only got a few months for each offense. the reason he isn't serving more time is because of how society and media are treating him like a silly goofy weirdo instead of the serial r*pist he is.

[@DhaniellaRose]

This is really disgusting. If he sa'd a woman instead, This will be a whole different thing and would be treated differently. It's really disheartening to see this. I have a friend that was Sa'd by their neighbors and this video just reminds me of him. He tried to tell everyone but no one was believing him because people like this is spreading bs. We need to understand that everybody could be a victim and could be a damn predator. This is so wrong. I'm so fucking disgusted. Disturbing.

[@DhaniellaRose]

Plus the fact that people actually find this funny and not disturbing is beyond me. Everyone seriously needs to get the f off their phone and self-reflect. If you're laughing at people's story where they talk about sa'ing someone, You need to seek help. ASAP. We don't need more useless and disgusting people to be famous like that hawk tuah girl. Enjoy the damn spotlight as it won't shine and focus on you forever because people would eventually (and hopefully) realize that this is disturbing and he really shouldn't be famous for doing/admitting to these bs. I'm all about "second chances" but he clearly don't show remorse. KZbin really needs to rethink their stuff and what they should and shouldn't monetize out there.

[@womanenjoyer22]

Not to invalidate your point but I just think people are desensitized now. Like I saw a video on IG about a CHILD being rap3d and killed and the comments were just “game is game”. People are saying how they simp over Junko Furata, and saying how they would’ve done the same thing as the men who killed her. If you don’t know who that is it’s a very disturbing and disgusting case. Even the whole Diddy situation is just being memed and no one takes it seriously, just calling it “gay” and laughing at it all though men, women, and children were abused. People will comment on a video of a baby and say some shit like “game is game”. People do this with everyone. Even animals atp. Social media has caused people to not treat serious topics as serious anymore. Rap3 is basically a joke atp.

What gets me is other men (the gender of his victims) give him the platform! Not that women giving him a platform makes much more sense, but it’s disturbing to me that men tend to harm other men the most. I’m not implying women don’t do these heinous acts too!! I see those awful stories too. I’m simply saying I am disappointed how men often defend predators in general, whether that predator be their friend or someone they just find powerful. I am passionate about mental health care, and I admire men that are honest about their journey. This guy should be seen as an example of who not to become or defend, and an opportunity to let men know they deserve safety, respect, and dignity just like everyone else. Thanks for talking about this August. This topic is incredibly important even if it’s heartbreaking.

it's deeply fucked up that our society treats rape as a joke just because the victim's a man. It's not just prison rape too, people ted to treat F on M spousal rape(F on M rape in general) as punchline more than even a whole joke. And that goes double if the victim was the one doing the penetrating. ("Oh, you shoulda just enjoyed it", "What are you, Gay?" etc). Likewise(if not moreso) if it's an F teacher(or other position of power) and M student(or subordinate) victim. People, including NEWS ANCHORS act like the victim 'got lucky' instead of being raped. Then again, ours is also a culture where a tiny-fingered rapist with 34 felonies can get off basically scott free and become president, or where a rapist can be let off without punishment or conviction because "he has his whole future ahead of him". Come to think of it, our culture seems to have a really fucked relationship with such a heinous act.

As a Christian, I can't say I didn't have a visceral reaction to seeing a man take the notion "Follow God, not Culture" so lightly to the point where he would shamelessly, without remorse or compassion, wear it in a video where he idolizes an unapologetic and unsympathetic serial rapist. It's disgusting. He doesn't condemn or seriously question any of his actions or words so I know he isn't trying to help Johnson get on a better path in life. I have had non-Christian and Christian friends who were so clearly spiraling out of control that I stayed close to in order to pray for them and help them get back on track. But even then, I always kept a distance because actions and opinions can rub off onto you. It's clear this young man Hustler spirit clearly doesn't have any true friends to help him see that what he says and does don't line up with what he thinks he believes; neither does he desire to help Johnson see how his actions and words affect others. My heart goes out to all male and female victims of such heinous crimes. May God give you justice; may God give you peace🤍

I might make some people think I’m being over dramatic when I say this but I think the reason why this stuff happens is because of the fact that literally EVERYONE makes jokes about this kind of sh3t! You cannot deny that sex and rape jokes have become a part of our modern society more then ever. People make so many jokes to the point where you never go over the limit until the “joke” goes too far and you actually do something like that. It’s so bad that my friends at church all make rape jokes occasionally, IN CHURCH! The fact that people will make jokes about rape and being raped while in a house built to serve a holy god and be holy is disgusting. I literally heard my best friends little brother make weird jokes and say stuff like “AYO that’s definitely gay” or something when I was sucking on frozen slushy! The kid is 10! How does he know what that means!!! I seriously think theses jokes need to stop or seriously slow down because at this point it’s everywhere and even little kids are hearing these jokes and figuring out what it means and it’s making them think about sexual stuff every time someone does anything that can even be interpreted to that stuff.
