But it wasn’t just on Twitter. Facebook users got in on the victim-blaming too.
As did some Reddit users.

dcasebo 4 weeks agoWhen guys get drunk and pass out, do you call them stupid sluts? No, you laugh about it, but when a girl does it she’s called a drunken slut. So let me get this straight. If one of your daughters or sisters gets drunk and passes out, then it’s okay to rape them? Hey, I just want to get it right.

I have lived in a rural town in Ohio most of my life. As a young girl, one of the FIRST rules of life I learned was that you don’t get drunk with boys. In fact, its a risk just hanging out with boys, especially in an unsupervised environment. I’m NOT man bashing. But I accepted that rule and lived by it and survived high school unscathed. As an adult, I forgot that rule one night.. and I was raped… And I took the responsibility, because I was an ADULT. I feel for this girl, what those boys did was wrong. But I blame her mother for not teaching her that young, drunk boys in a group are dangerous. It’s common knowledge where I’m from. If you don’t want raped you don’t party with potential rapists.

I’m sorry but you have been very damaged and brainwashed by your upbringing. It was NOT your fault you were raped. It is NEVER the victim’s fault. It is ALWAYS ALWAYS the rapist’s fault. It is clear you have no sense of gender equality or women’s rights. A women should be able to go to a party and drink alcohol just like men do without fear of being raped. Rape is not a ‘just punishment’ for hanging out with boys. And men are not monsters who have no control over themselves or their urges. I’m sorry you have been so poorly educated about your rights, and your right to not be raped. Please remember is it NOT your fault you were raped and if your mother tells you otherwise you need to put her straight.

littlewren a month agoThis makes me sick to my stomach. I don’t drink, but I have been known to pass out because of health problems. I keep thinking “What if that was me? Would people say things like this about me?”

rutha5 a month agoThis country needs some serious education. Rape crosses gender, religion, culture, and societal boundaries. Anyone can be raped, and these people are just another classic example of the ignorance of America and the rape culture that we need to continue working together to get rid of. ASAP.

sabrinamurphyb 2 months agoIf she were in the street, naked and passed out you still do NOT have the right to rape her, EVER! This is why most rape cases are never reported, instead of being disgusted at the rapist, the victim gets put under a microscope!! Face it folks, even if she was a prostitute you still don’t have the right to rape.

Savanna 2 months agoWhy are so many people stuck on the underage drinking? Yeah it’s illegal and I get that. However if she were legal drinking age this would still be rape. What these boys did was wrong no matter what her age or level of intoxication. And it seems to me that they only “realized what they did was wrong” after they were busted. They didn’t realize while it happened, it didn’t stop them from sending out the videos. That’s bullshit in my opinion they always knew it was wrong, RAPE IS ALWAYS WRONG. They just didn’t give a flying fuck until they got in trouble. And who cares about their promising futures? Didn’t they forfeit that by committing this crime? It’s not the victims fault, and she will have to go through enough psychological struggles without being blamed for her rape.

hannahr18 2 months agoFor all of you who are agreeing with the above pictures; She was drugged, carried from party to party unknowingly, and those boys were under the impression that was dead. There is a twelve minute video of them in YouTube talking about “how dead” she was. They thought they were raping a dead body. There are countless texts of those boys admitting what they had done. They have no excuse.

christinab28 2 months agoIf she was sober would these boys have raped her? If their parents were around would they act this way? I want to believe they would not. Maybe if we teach our children to act & respond as if someone that mattered to them was watching it might change? It’s scares me that the above comments did not feel this was wrong. What if it was their sister, mother or girlfriend? I know i must be asking too much.

It doesn’t matter if she was drunk or sober or even a prostitute. No one has a right to rape anyone. PERIOD!

Kayla J 2 months agoI think the people who make these comments aren’t trying to be assholes, even though that’s exactly how they come across. I think that the idea of rape as a horrible random act that can happen to anyone regardless of who they are or what they have done is just too scary for many people to comprehend. Men who side with the rapists may be thinking “Those guys were like me and my friends. We don’t actually rape and hurt girls, so they couldn’t either, the girl must be asking for it”. Women who blame the victim might feel something along the lines of “That could never happen to me, she must have done something to deserve it”. Even victims who start to blame themselves by saying that they could have done more to stop it are trying to put the control back in their own hands. It speaks a lot about what we think of the actual act of rape, and everyone has a way to make it seem less random than it is.

reading these stupid apologist tweets makes me want to smoke crack and jump out the window…but i’d settle for traveling to the 23 writer’s 23 residences and peeing on them while they dream their (most likely) scummy dreams.
