HIT EJECT @on-the-trigger.bsky.social · 04/10/2026It really shouldnt be this rare for a politician to stand up for survivors, and yet seeing this gives me whiplash- cant think of the last time someone in a position of power like this actually spoke up 000
HIT EJECT @on-the-trigger.bsky.social · 04/10/2026Its all especially treated as a morality test + yet we believe we're moving forwards instead of stagnating. The inability to acknowledge that the systems in place are not enough, etc, all of it turns in on itself. An eye for an eye makes the world blind + so on and so forth, all that fun stuff 010
HIT EJECT @on-the-trigger.bsky.social · 04/10/2026and it hits that frustration so well, how overwhelmingly it still occurs in society for boys and men to be the victims of men and women alike. Its all so heartbreaking, and it sucks seeing people react to what youve said with such ill intent 110
HIT EJECT @on-the-trigger.bsky.social · 04/10/2026No problem! I couldn't agree more, and if you like reading, there's a book I couldnt recommend enough on the topic of men and sexual assault; On Being Raped, written by Raymond M. Douglas. He writes very passionately about his own experience + how hard it was, being denied that he was ever a victim+ 110
HIT EJECT @on-the-trigger.bsky.social · 04/10/2026When you say "defending" their rights, are you referring to them bringing up the question of punitive vs rehabilitation? I believe it does help us; the way we handle consequences effects if the rate of assault goes down or not. 000

HIT EJECT @on-the-trigger.bsky.social · 04/10/2026We are fucked when those who claim to support victims end up fictionalizing them to prove a point. No reason to change details of someone's assault; the assault is already horrific. Insistence that it has to be something more is, instead, saying you believe it wasn't bad enough in the first place. 131
HIT EJECT @on-the-trigger.bsky.social · 03/10/2026I found it to be centering the way we respond to something like this, or is that not true? Thats been the discussion for a lot of people, since we can all agree he didnt get a punishment that fit. And that conversation does help victims. 100
HIT EJECT @on-the-trigger.bsky.social · 03/10/2026You missed the part where I said he deserves what he gets. What is wrong with everyone making up shit to get mad about? 000
HIT EJECT @on-the-trigger.bsky.social · 03/10/2026Who is insisting it "isnt that bad" and why the hell bring up "stanning", do you seriously think I defend that at all? Why dont you think its bad enough without the invention of something that might be false? 000
HIT EJECT @on-the-trigger.bsky.social · 03/10/2026Yes!!! Im nonbinary, so different but similar experience, but; I remember a lot of his stories making such an impact on me while growing up and learning about my own identity. It was a slap in the face, yet also a good lesson to never idealize someone based on their public persona 080
HIT EJECT @on-the-trigger.bsky.social · 03/10/2026Also hits a lot of really important + innovative filmmakers, too. So many people in film appreciate the work of, say, Roman Polanski, but there is no room to dance around how fucked he is to recognize the importance of his work 120
HIT EJECT @on-the-trigger.bsky.social · 03/10/2026this reminds me of the fucking Dali museum I went to before realizing how fucked he always was + i went to art school with only one professor ever bringing up he was a literal nazi. Ill never forget how stunning his paintings were in person. Ill always be furious that context was missing next 2 it 2120
HIT EJECT @on-the-trigger.bsky.social · 03/10/2026Then theres the thing of pushing for further accountability. He could become someone who actively helps communities of people that were effected by the actions hes done in his past. It wont be wrong if most people never forgive him, but he could try to make a difference if he has changed. 010
HIT EJECT @on-the-trigger.bsky.social · 03/10/2026just finding the ways to do it without supporting them materially. Bc I share that feeling, his work felt incredible to find and I still think a lot of it is valuable in media analysis, but now it'll always be viewed from a different lens 130
HIT EJECT @on-the-trigger.bsky.social · 03/10/2026Are so multifaceted, we can be talented and effective in our art and still end up being heinous in other ways. So imo, I think it just adds context when going back and taking in any of his media. And to keep consuming it, if youre concerned with morality, doing the right thing, etc, comes down to- 120
HIT EJECT @on-the-trigger.bsky.social · 03/10/2026I think it comes back to that one conversation brought up in media consumption; if seperating the art from the artist is necessary to appreciate what was made. I've always believed that its impossible to ever seperate the creator from what theyve created; it proves human beings - 130
HIT EJECT @on-the-trigger.bsky.social · 03/10/2026Thats the thing though? The record is already THAT bad. We dont have to conconct something ( if it isnt factual, theres still no source, but its still possible ) to insist on the severity. Me trying to verify it is not an attempt at downplaying. I already think he deserves every consequence. 000
HIT EJECT @on-the-trigger.bsky.social · 03/10/2026There are so many ways to discuss this entire thing, and insisting ( parasocially) on his kindness is exactly the opposite of what should be at the center of all of this. Theres a reason this take is unpopular. His perceived kindness means absolutely nothing- less than nothing, honestly. 1270
HIT EJECT @on-the-trigger.bsky.social · 03/10/2026the victim's experience matters. And yes, his admitting to sexual assault is enough for him to get what he deserves, whatever that ends up being in the long run. Thats not a reason to push a narrative for the victim that may see it + feel horrified that their trauma is being misrepresented. 200
HIT EJECT @on-the-trigger.bsky.social · 03/10/2026framing sexual assault as a way that people learn how to behave is certainly... a choice? fucking hell man 060

HIT EJECT @on-the-trigger.bsky.social · 03/10/2026Because i think we can agree that socially, systematically, what we have in place for justice is not enough. And I think these moments are vital in figuring out what /should/ be done. To prevent more people from becoming victims, to find a way that gets justice with real results. 000
HIT EJECT @on-the-trigger.bsky.social · 03/10/2026Yeah, thats fair. I also dont know if people are just assuming im trying to find a way of excusing Geller's behavior or something; im horrified over it and still believe he should, at the very least, never have a public platform again. I only think its good to have these conversations. 100
HIT EJECT @on-the-trigger.bsky.social · 03/10/2026What i read wasnt "belittling rape repeatedly". As a victim, can you show me where they do that? 010
HIT EJECT @on-the-trigger.bsky.social · 03/10/2026You want a random comment to represent someone's experience when it might not be true? Idk how many times I have to say, but I was asking bc I wanted to know the source, to have it when further engaging with anything. Because it would be important. Its a huge accusation that would need attention. 100
HIT EJECT @on-the-trigger.bsky.social · 03/10/2026I have done reading on it. Your source is one comment on a thread. Im mad because if it is true, the victim deserves the weight of that trauma to be brought in more. But youre only taking this as an opportunity to dunk on someone for moral validation. Keep twisting my intent ig 000
HIT EJECT @on-the-trigger.bsky.social · 03/10/2026Okay, so a non verifiable comment is enough to speak for the victim. If someone handled my assault that way, id be disgusted. If its variable, like ive said, I believe it would be incredibly dismissive to NOT have it in the conversation more. Your attitude is insane. 010
HIT EJECT @on-the-trigger.bsky.social · 03/10/2026Okay! Im a survivor of multiple assaults and I thought it was handled very well, and I wish people would engage in more discussions that didnt involve outright attacks. To each their own I guess 100
HIT EJECT @on-the-trigger.bsky.social · 03/10/2026Overcompensation for refusing to admit youre spreading something that could be false. The case is already horrific. 100
HIT EJECT @on-the-trigger.bsky.social · 03/10/2026If you insist on a source when someone claims a victim was raped while unconscious, yet not able to provide an actual source, youre actually denying sexual assault. youre not worried that someone's story could be skewed, or caring that if it's actually true, it should be brought forward even more. 100
HIT EJECT @on-the-trigger.bsky.social · 03/10/2026What are you talking about? They said the victim was specifically raped while unconscious. Do you not care about whether or not their story is remaining factual for their experience? 100
HIT EJECT @on-the-trigger.bsky.social · 03/10/2026The way we approach justice is a systematic issue. It needs larger conversations. "Nuance" as in, you know, how we determine how to handle these situations. Deliberately misreading my original post in bad faith does nothing. 200
HIT EJECT @on-the-trigger.bsky.social · 03/10/2026The part where youre asserting something as a fact of what the victim experienced, and resorting to petty insults when faced with genuine curiosity. If they really were raped while unconscious, that part of the case would be essential to bring forward. But.. sure. 100

HIT EJECT @on-the-trigger.bsky.social · 03/10/2026You asserted this as a factual detail of what happened, and enough people could read this and take your word for it – your word over the actual victim. Unless there is still a source you refuse to point to that isnt one comment? Still trying to be generous here 100
HIT EJECT @on-the-trigger.bsky.social · 03/10/2026Erases so many experiences from victims. A terrible thing. 110
HIT EJECT @on-the-trigger.bsky.social · 03/10/2026I'm so glad you brought this part up bc so much of this situation + discussions surrounding it are "not all men, but always a man." One of the people who assaulted me was a woman, another one was nonbinary. Its a terribly misguided ( or at worst, a deliberate malicious obfuscation ) assertion that - 110
HIT EJECT @on-the-trigger.bsky.social · 03/10/2026People getting mad that this is such a long ass thread– isn't a larger discussion necessary? Isn't it a good thing, to explore these thoughts during a period as heinous as this for sexual assault survivors? These things have nuance; to insist otherwise would cheapen survivors' experiences. 220
HIT EJECT @on-the-trigger.bsky.social · 03/10/2026Im glad you take the issue of assault so seriously, really went fully transparent. this is just a joke for you to engage in. 000
HIT EJECT @on-the-trigger.bsky.social · 03/10/2026I think you hit the nail on the head here tbh. So many issues stem from our inability to have a system that works the way it should; if it was taken seriously, we wouldnt feel so backed into a corner to this degree. "Justice" in the way the state pursues it has us all eating ourselves 010
HIT EJECT @on-the-trigger.bsky.social · 03/10/2026Thats 100% fair. Ive been there too, plus the weight of using the word "rape" being hard 4 survivors to use out of fear. Frm my experiences, I see what I went through as horrific, yet still seperate from rape - both unexcusable in their own ways. Thank u for explaining your thoughts, i appreciate it 020
HIT EJECT @on-the-trigger.bsky.social · 03/10/2026And yes, im an adult that is a victim of sexual assault; i think it is important to represent the facts accurately when the victim has not had a say in their past trauma being brought front and center. I was not being condescending to you, not sure why I was met with it in your reply. 030
HIT EJECT @on-the-trigger.bsky.social · 03/10/2026Theres the one comment that says, "he sexually assaulted his ex gf while she was unconscious in 2016 and was subsequently suspended from UNC for only ONE semester". Where does that detail get confirmed- the details of the assault specificly? 220
HIT EJECT @on-the-trigger.bsky.social · 03/10/2026Hey im someone who was sexually assaulted and I want to know why you see it as "downplaying" when the language exists for a reason. As the victim has not had their own statement, it feels pretty wrong to assert our own labels on it. 160
