Honestly if my best friend moved across the country and got a bunch of new friends and was partying every night id also lock myself in my basement and write a story about how he comes back and saves me and is in love with me forever
Maddie Kowalski was 19 years old when anonymous men on X posted a pornographic video of her without her consent. It went viral nationally, and was viewed 8.5 million times.
For months, she had no idea who did it or why. So she made it her mission to find out. 🧵
Why is the new cohort of college men so cruel towards women? It genuinely wasn’t like this when I was in college 5 years ago. Yeah there were problems with Greek like, but not this legion of anonymous men torturing their coeds online. Just pure depravity. I worry for our society.
maddie kowalski was raped but i still need people to understand that she also wouldnt deserve to have her life ruined even if she had sex with multiple people consensually
The most prominent “burner verse” thing was a rumor that a woman cheated on her boyfriend with her boyfriend’s dad. Why is that news? Why is that of interest nationally? Why did Pat mcafee feel obligated to mention it on tv?
the men who gang raped maddie kowalski on camera got away with it and men on this app want me to believe that if a college boy was heavily intoxicated and then filmed touching themselves in a frat house that hed go to jail
Also whats the POINT in rightfully calling out her weird behavior? Her life is ruined, and shes been the victim of a mass internet attack (even as a victim!) While the SEX CRIMINALS who did this walk free and will continue to
Men cant call out sex crimes and rape by other men but are happy hold women equally accountable for "weird behavior" (the weird behavior here being getting raped) thank you god for these protectors i appreciate it
@d9z_gaming Obviously horrible actions by the guys filming and anyone harassing family members but I think we can still rightfully call out weird behavior on her part as well
Even if she did this completely out of her own volition (which it has been established she didnt) being irresponsible isnt at all on the same level as an actual sex crime, esp since thr actual action would be consentual
There is a corner of the internet I had never heard of before I started reporting this story.
It’s called the “burnerverse”: a sprawling network of anonymous college-sports accounts that can look, at first glance, like ordinary shitposting.
Then I started looking closer. And what I found was a highly coordinated network of hundreds of anon accounts, dedicated to doxxing girls and ruining their lives.
My investigation for @WIRED — including some of the men allegedly behind some of these accounts — is out now. https://t.co/4t3XESCOND
NEW: Lindsay Clancy juror Paula Devlin reveals on 'CBS Mornings' that the lone, male holdout juror who voted to find Clancy guilty of murdering her children was the *only* person of color -- a black man.
The 11 not-guilty jurors -- who hectored him for a week to cave -- were all white.
mikey ways 21st birthday was the day before 9/11. imagine how it would feel to wake up absolutely wasted from celebrating your 21st birthday hungover as hell, to not only the news that the world trade center was destroyed but your big brother HAS to start a band with YOU about it
Im confused she should be besides herself witj grief and destroyed from her children being dead and if shes not shes guilty, and if shes sobbing and upset in court shes manipulating the jury and shes guilty
if this jury hangs, they need to retry immediately with a few changes:
1. sequester the jury. take their phones. lock them in a box for all I care. for the entirety of the trial. it’ll already be a miracle to find an untainted jury at this point.
2. get that fuckass prosecutor and her hair bows out of the courtroom. she impeached her own witness.
3. roll that baby killing bitch out of there anytime there’s any opportunity for her to put on a show for the jury (sobbing during the autopsy testimony)
4. majority men on the jury
then, she will rot as she deserves.
Its really great when criminal cases most people arent emotionally prepared to get invested to go super viral bc we get the stupidest people with the biggest audiences helping them through it
i love beyoncé so much like if someone asked me to choose between five million dollars or meeting beyoncé, i would choose five million dollars but i really love her so much
The more i think about it the more irritating it is: women are dead wrong for being intense about how misogyny hurts them without considering mens feelings, and this somewhat excuses their extreme mistreatment of women. Its switched back around to be womens fault again
Look im sure that sucked and all but its kinda insane that you dont consider how your sisters (a young woman) brain was broken too. If being kinda mean had the power to make you a violent misogynist why would violent misogyny not have the power to make her kinda mean
My own sister told me I was inherently violent and creepy to women for being a man when I was like 12 and I don’t think people quite grasp how many young men’s brain got broken by stuff like that happening during this period
