While I refuse to engage directly with the individual that said it, I can't not point out in a general sense that when we are assaulted (because that's what it is when you bite, or intentionally, non-consensually hurt us in any way), there is no 'other side to the story' that condones, explains or excuses this behaviour. And this exact attitude and others like it, are a large part of what makes it so hard for us to report SA's to the authorities. It's in line with 'But what was she wearing though' when women are d.
What's he gonna say... 'I was hungry?', 'my mouth accidentally connected with her skin and I accidentally clamped down with my teeth even though she asked me not to? 'I have rabbies?'...
Blackmail is also a crime, so is sexual coercion and again there is absolutely nothing he could say in 'his part of the story' that could take any of the hurt or very valid fear away from what Malibu experienced with this POS!
Normally I stay out of discussions like these but...
Shifting the what now?!
I don't think there's anything wrong with suggesting WG to make an effort to boost security or screen their clients better.
There are assholes out there, many of them, you think they'd stop being asshole just because we neutered our speech here?
No.
Us suggesting improve security and to better screen client is not us "shifting the blame to the victim", it is our attempt at "protecting the victim" via suggestion, because how else are we supposed to help the victim on this forum?
If I know there's violent gang members active after 8pm in x town, I'd tell all my friends to beware after 8pm x town, preferably stay in doors. Because I know damn well I cannot control the gangs with my speech and behavior.
If giving warning/suggesting safety measure means I'm shifting the blame to the victim, then I'm sorry, I'll be glad to always, and I mean always and forever, be a victim blamer.
