Back again for a bit: people are up in arms about a missing "Mushu" in Mulan. May I remind you guys, please, that MULAN is a historical character? LOL! I think they are trying to make it as REAL as they possibly can. This is CHINA. It's bad enough the language is ENGLISH. LOL!
In for a bit: the thing about the Little Mermaid casting, why is this an issue? Why are people reacting so violently towards it? I think the young woman is stunningly beautiful and IF SHE CAN SING, people should just stop complaining. IT'S A MOVIE!!! IT AIN'T REAL! LOL!!!
@Kimberlys_Tweet @Alphastar007 @GabbySojourner@brchapman65@Alyssa_Milano ... and when they do come forward, in today's society, because of a few incidences wherein rape was used in revenge or because of a grudge, real victims get demonized and crucified first before anyone would show them any kind of compassion. Would you subject yourself to that?
@Kimberlys_Tweet@GabbySojourner @Alphastar007 @brchapman65@Alyssa_Milano but there are many - MILLIONS - who suffer in silence, taking this experience with them to their graves because they are afraid to be branded. Because once people know you got raped, that's all they ever see, until they get to know you, you will always be THE RAPE VICTIM to them
@Kimberlys_Tweet@GabbySojourner @Alphastar007 @brchapman65@Alyssa_Milano I would never wish it upon anyone the victim's entire persona gets hijacked... it took me years - YEARS - to overcome trauma, and believe me when I say I had the best help EVER. So, while the memories still sting, they no longer have any power over me.
@Kimberlys_Tweet@GabbySojourner @Alphastar007 @brchapman65@Alyssa_Milano ABSOLUTELY! This is why this is a debate... because people who have never had the experience, who have no capacity to empathize, are the most vocal about their limited opinions. They never look at what the other person sees... until it happens to them.
@danceatama@johnfag46176157 SLAM DUNKED --> 100%. I think this is true EVERYWHERE now. Because again, the mindset is, it's not me. it hasn't happened to me. so people don't really empathize until it happens to them. then they understand where it all comes from.
people will never have compassion for you until they or someone they love goes through the same kind of hell. In my country, people of power and authority are the ones raping and sexually abusing women, it is easy for victims to get killed when they speak up. STOP BLAMING VICTIMS
@johnfag46176157@Jrzy_Dy Funny...in OUR country even WITH proof the victim gets SLAM DUNKED by people daring to say 'where's the beef'?...while they eat it. Imagine how that feels, eh? I keep seeing that innocent 15 year old girl in the back of a cop car...
@johnfag46176157 however, for a real victim to come up and say she/he has been raped, it takes a LOT of courage and determination. Because people do judge victims, they do get branded and are forever traumatized by the event. simple recollection is torture.
@johnfag46176157 No of course it's not, I think that's the purpose of the justice system and in a perfect world, we expect it to work 100% of the time. And yes, I do know that there are people who have made wrongful accusations in the past.
Victims of rape and abuse often stay silent because they get judged by people who are too eager to brand them as either liars, attention-seekers, provokers, and worse, whores! As a victim, I have heard everything from "IT'S MY FAULT" to "I WAS INVITING IT".
@Alphastar007 @brchapman65@Alyssa_Milano Do I understand what is said here? That compassion is given only when a victim makes all the right decisions while trauma lingers or death threats are given? Compassion should always be given to victims. Victims often are haunted by the act that occurred & don't even tell.
Here's a short preview of one of our original songs... full version will be uploaded and available for download.. SOON.
Title: Embrace The Storm

Social Media normally shows you what you don't have... this is why there are so many whiny people who complain everyday of their lives. It's time to get out of Social Media and count your blessings. Be glad of all the things you HAVE that others are dreaming of.
@fancyancy Oh, absolutely! I mean, the ponly time I would want extra attention on me is when I'm promoting new music. I don't want a spotlight on my personal life.
