if you think thats bad wait till you find out indins threatening rape against a child because they lost a cricket match,
I would love to say that I am shocked, but I am not.
I'm convinced UP is the Florida of India. Whenever you hear something crazy out of there, odds are it was Uttar Pradeshman.
Bruh this is sick even for FL standards
I don't disagree.
FR FR, not even an ounce of cocaine involved, absolutely uncivilized these rapists are!
I want to agree but I feel like it might be mostly:
- Florida makes its crime data much more accessible than most US states
- UP, if it were an independent country, would be one of the most populous countries in the world
UP might be the America of the world instead of the Florida of America. Idk tho.
This is such a stupid take for such profoundly appalling crimes. Forget this ↑.
Before even clicking I guessed correctly -just from the unbelievable cruelty- that this has happened in India. Of course rape is a problem everywhere but Indian rape culture seems to be especially horrific.
Uttar Pradesh strikes again. Sad
Why? Is it like the rape-capital or...? And what makes UP so special in thst regard?
Birds of a feather
But... Do people actually move there because it's so... "rapey"? That does sound too cynical, even for my cynical ass.
Less because of that PRECISELY, and more likely because the culture of machismo (which is sort of what allows this to happen) is much more pervasive there.
It's so sad... But machismo alone can't be the reason. You need some very psychopathic (i know the term is outdated) tendencies to even consider rape. Humans are garbage 😔
No, you actually don't, not if you don't consider it rape. That's the machismo bit - to these people, they're simply "taking" what they're "owed". It's why rape is so prevalent in fundamentalist religious communities here in the US - if your religion or your culture tells you that women exist solely to be subservient to men in every way, then it's not rape to have sex with them even against their will (by that logic), because they're made to serve men, whenever, wherever.
I don't really care for the religion but in Hinduism they treat girls like literal goddesses to the point that almost feels sexist towards boys. Girls get free money during 'raksha bandhan' which is like a yearly bodyguard contract between a brother and a sister where the brother pledges to protect the sister and also pays her for the privilege of protecting her. And also in multiple other festivals they get money or get prayed to as a goddess effigy of sorts. Source: i was born into the religion unfortunately, and at no time I was taught to see myself as superior or that anyone owes me anything. These people are just sick.
Sure, you're right. But yet, a woman screaming or begging "no" should still trigger something in them. As those "creatures" are the same "thing" as their beloved mothers. How could one seriously not see any connection there unless psychopathic? How can religous delusion make the mother holy and all other women unhuman toythings?
Then again... Religious nutjobs are already experts in mental gymnastics. Maybe i should just retract my question and just continue being misanthropic. Ugh.
My first thought reading the headline: this is Uttar Pradesh, isn't it?
Of course it is.
Yup, India's Florida
Uttar fucking Pradesh. I swear to god you guys need to get your shit together.
please dont be UP, please dont be UP - checks article. it's UP.
India is wild :(
try pasting this on reddit without modi bots rolling in the thread.
it will never happen.
I was just about to say this! I never saw any "xxx country is a shithole" post on Reddit without so much backlash. It was annoying.
When the good family he apparently comes from comes after you to do worse, you know it's gotta be fuckin' Uttar Pradesh
That is such an insane thing. Wow.
UP, and India in general is just fucking awful when it comes to personal safety in society (doesn’t stop there tho)
