So if you're just catching up with this story. Instagram has removed text that a 27 year old woman put with instgram pictures she posted minutes after she was "raped".

She's not happy and says Instgram is trying to silence her, instgram say they don't allow any posts that contain harmful topics.  Sounds pretty bad right?  But when you look at the information (that she herself has posted), it all loooks a bit dodgy.

Girl kisses guy, gets naked with guy, has shower with guy. Then says she was raped by guy.

Has device that can phone police. Goes on Instagram instead.  

Seems legit.



Sony want to make money by selling art, Nintendo want to make money by selling fun, Microsoft want to make money.

i cant believe instagram is trying to silence this woman. another clear example of patriarchal oppression deciding what's acceptable when it comes to a female victim dealing with her trauma.

there's a rumor that a Latin website article States Japanese companies Sony and Nintendo are in merger talks also the site reports that sony is offering Nintendo $33 a share and that the company's would not change any board members

Yes it sounds dodgy, but if she says she was raped than what really needs to happen is that the police need to investigate. I know too many girls who were actually rapped so lets not act like this isn't a serious issue. Faking rape is also serious as well... because well, its a real issue. Worse yet, most of the rape cases I know of involved girls who were under-aged... which is even more depressing.

No means no.  Stick to the topic please.  And who are you?

I don't believe anything in a world where brushing against a girl's boob with your arm by accident is considered sexual assault.

Oh of course rape is a very real and awful thing.  But I think people like this ruin it for the many people who are real victims.  No sane person could argue that getting naked and taking a shower with someone isn't giving someone an open invitation for sex.

Doing that then claiming rape is bollocks, and just only makes it harder for the real people who are abused to be taken seriously.

Also to irresponsibility of travelling to South Africa to promote an anti rape campaign, and then not report her own incident to the police.  I mean come on.

Do we actually know she didn't report the incident to the police?
