This article feels super rage bait-y to be honest. Like my first reaction at the title is of course, being like "thats fucked up" but as im reading it, it feels like this article was written in a manipulative way. There's no sources at all, can't find any using English google, decided to literally figure out how to search Dutch google in Dutch just to find something more reputable and there's only this one site, which has 2 articles, the only 2 links in either is one article pointing to the other, and another link to what is clearly (from the add/article layout) a Belgium tabloid of some kind.

Like nothing about the people involved or the situation, but this website is some shit, and so is the other one covering this. They may be on the right side of this story but this website itself feels incredibly un-credible, and I wouldn't think to assume Belgium has some sort of news media problem where like, the gossip tabloids are the last bastions fighting for bodily autonomy and consent, where it would make sense that there is no other source.

Of course you, who looked into this, barely have any notice.
