#nobody thinks 'im gonna fuck your dad' is a THREAT. like a genuine actionable threat

[elftwink]

i’m not sure i have anything insightful to say about this but for days ive been thinking abt gun girl construing lil nas x saying “yeah and i might fuck your dad” as a rape threat and i finally figured out exactly what was so familiar about it and it’s that it’s a near identical move to when t*rfs accuse trans women of rape threats for saying “suck my dick”. and like i said i don’t have any particular insights to add here it’s just such an extreme form of playing the victim and its always predicated on the idea that the person they’re accusing is inherently predatory in some way. because it’s such an obviously flimsy accusation backed by “evidence” that is laughed away by anybody with even a little bit of common sense and yet soooooo many people take these kind of crocodile tears accusations seriously because it gives them an excuse to pretend xyz person or group are dangerous predators

#good idea generator #rape ment / #also re: the suck my dick thing. i see t*rfs doing that literally every single time i go to block one of them #it seems to be a veryyyy common move. one time a saw a t*rf do that and them immediately make jokes abt the trans suicide rate #suicide ment / #i think ppl dont like to talk about it because the accusations are very serious so you dont want to treat it lightly #or not that ppl dont like to talk about it. im sure they are im not trying to be like 'why is nobody talking about this' #its just like. difficult to talk about i think. #but also come ON. its so clearly full of shit. nobody on the planet thinks someone tweeting 'suck my dick' is a threat #nobody thinks 'im gonna fuck your dad' is a THREAT. like a genuine actionable threat #and if they are saying they do think that they're lying for ulterior motives #like lets not pretend theyre stupid or scared. theyre lying. its malicious. and theyre doing it on purpose. you know? #or they see it as a threat because they view the person saying it as inherently threatening. which is not better
