So, Lemmy and associates.
Is she a bastard too? The phrase is absolutist. Is a rape victim also a perpetrator of corruption and rape culture?
Go on, now's your chance. 'ACAB no exceptions' is what I see daily. Put your money where your mouth is, or shut up and stop using it.
The implication that a victim of rape cannot possibly also be responsible, directly or indirectly, for the perpetration of rape culture is just as foolishly absolutist as you claim the phrase to be.
This is not the "gotcha" you think it is, and says a lot more about you than any other point you were trying to foolishly make.
Really? Rage bait shit like that can go back to fucking reddit
Really? Forum vs forum shit like that can go back to FunnyJunk
Because those who perpetuate the systemic abuse of others through abuse of authority can't ever themselves end up as victims of that same system?
That's pigeon shitting on a chessboard level of gotcha right there.
I mean, probably? Police systems pretty universally force cops to act like bastards in certain situations (anything to do with labor, for one), but we can't know what she personally did.
If a rapist is raped by a rapist is the rapist still a rapist?
Check mate!
How many rapists can a rapist rape itf a rapists can rape rapists?
These are the deep philosophical questions of today.
I see you are not familiar with the perfect victim fallacy.
Ah, an enlightened centrist throwing out a phrase I have not seen once in the years I have been here to try and win some fake argument for their own fragile but stinky ego.
Do you not see how insufferable you are behaving?
