@dxniellaskye Hopefully you understand my perspective. Imagine if you were informed that your brother, cousin, father, uncle or any male individual you’re closed to was placed on this forum. What would be your opinion and advice to him?
@dxniellaskye I understand ur perspective, I really do. I just really believe the forum is wrong, the forum automatically insinuates these individuals R rapists which to me is defamation & harassment. Some of the stories may have facts to them & they need to be addressed legally.
@dxniellaskye IMO the more appropriate question: Should we be calling these individuals Rapists without having any legal evidence to substantiate that?
@dxniellaskye I just personally don’t believe we’re addressing these issues appropriately currently. If I was accused, I’d ignore everything. If I was abused, I wouldn’t be using twitter to tell my story about a person, especially using screenshots and naming them.
@dxniellaskye I understand that people are hurt and are using Twitter to express their grievances. I understand that our Criminal Justice system is not the best. I understand that sometimes our administration fail our students. I also understand these accusations are very serious.
@dxniellaskye But how do we effectively make a change if we settle for a ‘no’ from administration or a ‘ban’ from school? I believe the same energy that we use to fuel various accusations on Twitter should be documented at a police station and demanded to be acted upon.
@dxniellaskye I really really really would love to know what happened (the facts) when they went to the police, the authorities and the school and why nothing happened. If I was that person, I’d be pursuing a hefty lawsuit.
@dxniellaskye And also has brought justice to many — especially victims of sexual assault and abuse. Point being, Twitter does not provide a platform that rectifies crimes of violence.
