i understand the charge, but why do media outlets keep posting pictures of the girl? not only is she underaged, but i also feel like it just opens her up to abuse from online trolls/weirdos.
Not to mention giving her first and last name.
She's an alleged rape victim and they're posting her info like it's irrelevant. Disgusting.
People really need to stop misusing the term rape
It’s technically statutory rape, but yeah she’s more likely being groomed
statutory rape and forcible rape are different things sure with different levels of punishment, but both are predatory behaviors regardless.
I do kinda hate how stuff like this has the same term as someone physically forcing themself onto someone else. It's all bad but one is sooo much worse
It’s not a competition bro both are rape. Minors can’t consent
But apparently they can brag about it on social media…
Because kids/teenagers are dumb, immature and have not a fully developed brain. So yes, that only proves the point that they can’t consent.
side note: your brain doesn’t fully develop until you’re around 25
Dawg what??
i was 17 and had sex with my 18 year old girlfriend did i get raped ???
Bro a comment like this makes it hard to believe you've ever had a sexual experience. Now please don't feel pressured to correct me because I'm also guessing you're a child.
Do you know what Romeo and Juliet laws are? Did you think you were making a good point?
It’s not a competition, it’s the idea that physically forcing yourself upon somebody who is explicitly rejecting consent vs being with someone who is of the age that they cannot legally consent all falls under the same legal definition of rape, when one implies more violence than the other. It’s all gross either way
Minors? Why is the line at 18? An 18 yo fucking a 17 yo is rape no matter what? What about a 17yo fucking another 17yo? Is it double rape because neither can give consent?
Someone being held down and forced on against their will isn’t the same thing as some ditzy 17 yr old white girl getting involved with some 20 yr old rich athlete haha
But the age of consent can vary over literal miles. A person in the US can be legally banging in one spot but if it happened a few miles over the state border then it's now rape... Lumping that in with forceful rape is just wild and diminishes one of the actual worst offenses a human being can commit.
No it literally doesn’t because it’s not a competition. Unless the point your making is that an adult having sex with a minor isn’t that bad of a crime, which in that case turn yourself in bro
It's really not a big deal.
No point discussing nuance about these topics mate.
If you disagree with the crowd they'll just call you a p3do or ragist
"Statutory rape is nonforcible sexual activity in which one of the individuals is below the age of consent"
Age of consent in Australia is as low as 16, so I guess Giddey just messed up by coming to the US.
To exploit the freshness of the situation for ratings/clicks.
Most people in media are heartless bastards that will stoop to ridiculous lows to get ahead.
That link literally refers to a tweet with images from 2 different ppl with two different social media handles. They are making it look like they are the same because they are look-a-like, but clearly not. Also, one appears to be older
You know why. Because it gets clicks.
Didn’t she post this stuff herself on the internet? It’s not like someone stole information she had on her private devices and posted them online without her knowing
Still seems like bad practice to spread around a teenager's information when it isn't at all necessary.
Bruh she posted the photos. Why do we pretend 15 year olds are 2 years old. Yea she’s way too young for Josh but she posted this shit herself. She knows what she’s doing
The article says someone else posted it
Conversely, she literally took a photo on her phone of her and Josh giddey and uploaded it with the caption “just fucked Josh giddey” and she submitted the photos to the media outlet.
Actively ruining her life while simultaneously taking the moral high road preaching about justice for the victim.
Just another day on twitter.
Any sites posting this haven't stopped for a second to think about it, all they care about is generating content. You dangle a carrot in front of them and they will bite without checking if its rotten.
I watched the Robert Stone documentary a few years ago, in it there is a scene where he is bragging about how easy the media is to manipulate and he says something like “the media is either stupid or it’s evil” he was trying to imply that he could say anything and they would just report it without fact checking.
and as much as I hate the dude It sure seems like he is right.
