Video Summary
Summary
Core Theme
This content is a powerful, sarcastic critique of victim-blaming and the societal tendency to excuse perpetrators of sexual harassment and assault by focusing on the accuser's perceived flaws or the perpetrator's supposed lack of memory. It highlights the hypocrisy in how allegations are often handled, particularly when the accused is a public figure.

you're right guy on Facebook Kevin
Spacey's apology was perfect it's not
like he made it all about his fuzzy
memory and how brave he is for coming
out trying to draw us away from the word
pedophile and you're right
Facebook dude Brett Ratner's allegations
were much more recent and gross the
shining beacon of what we should focus
on why even get mad about Dustin Hoffman
after all when it comes to sexual
harassment you only get the bonus points
if we all can agree it was really really
bad and you're right Anthony Rapp
shouldn't have been at that party didn't
he know better to be a 14 year old
surrounded by adults he thought he could
trust as you said on my Facebook wall
it's not your fault if a minor sneaks
into a bar and you hit on her Kevin
Spacey was just too drunk right alcohol
makes for such a good excuse right in
your rights Facebook douchebag why did
these women wait decades to speak now
their statements are pointless it's not
like women did try to come forward but
were silenced by the laughter or the
threats it's not like women have been
killed for less than saying the name of
a man who hurt them and you're right
maybe if I had just come forward he
never would have gone for her maybe if I
had said something instead of watering
down my words he would not have found
weaker prey he was 36 a grown man I was
18 barely legal she was 10 a goddamn
child he got me drunk led me away from
my friends half a year later he led her
away from a party for adults into the
same room he took me he is quoted in
saying I do not recall touching her but
I know I was extremely intoxicated I
have read all of the articles on his
trial dug up the forums seen the people
of Ashland speak of how this child
dragged such a nice man's name through
the mud what
what
liars we women make of ourselves in
reading all I could on my assailant by
an earthed an article on how the
attorney called me swarm me into the
trial over the phone
funny I don't remember this repressed it
so deep I thought these words a waking
nightmare in my statement I admit to the
coercion of drinking his unwanted kiss
but I'm also quoted in saying that it
was so not a big deal I know what he
would have done if I had been more drunk
but I also know as a scared 19 year old
lying fetal in my dorm I did not think
that roomful of strangers would believe
me was Todd how young girls should not
make fusses about themselves you're
right maybe if I had spoken after he
kept touching me she might have been
spared maybe if I had told the truth on
that phone call he would have stayed in
jail maybe I would not sleep in this bed
of guilt never knowing if she is okay
never getting to tell her I'm so sorry
I pray each day that you are happy live
a normal life that you never think about
him or his hands like I think about his
hands all of the time so you're right
Facebook guy isn't this just a
