Foxes In Love @foxes-in-love.bsky.social · 22h
A comic of three colourful foxes, one of whom is blue, the other is green, and the third one is little blue, big blue's little brother. In this one, the shading is slightly sharper and brighter than in normal reality, as Blue, Green, and Blue's brother are playing a videogame.
Green: Just to warn you too, I have never played a videogame in my life.
Baby Blue: Yeah, I know.

Both Blue and his brother freeze in horror as Green turns around to look at a cute little purple potato on the ground. The potato has eyes, and is looking right back at Green. A health bar has appeared above Green, and another one beneath the little potato. The potato's health bar is significantly larger than Green's.
Green: A "healthbar" means it's aggressive, right?

Blue and his brother watch in horror as Green runs off.
Blue: Stop running into more of them!
Green: I'm trying to run away!

Blue and his brother watch in mild disappointment as something unseen but clearly unsavoury happens to Green outside of the panel's view. A text appears above them, saying "<Green_Fox has died of making bad choices>"

a little louder for the cheap seats in the back
One of the biggest myths is that men rape by mistake. Like, "Oh, they need consent training." But research is very clear: Sexual violence is not a mistake. It is an intentionally made decision by people who know they don't have consent. They just don't prioritize consent over things like status, power, domination, and sexual gratification.
For my research, I got a certificate of confidentiality from the National Institutes of Health, so my notes couldn't be subpoenaed. One of the reasons I call them perpetrators in my work is because every single person I interviewed confessed in that context. The first question I would ask them was, "When you received that email from Title IX that you were under investigation, did you know what it was about?" Every perpetrator I interviewed said "yes." If sexual assault were a miscommunication, you would be wondering, What have I possibly done wrong? That is not the way that any of them reacted because they knew.

This is incredibly important. I feel deeply that curbing sexual violence will come from raising social expectations of men, not from ‘educating’ them. I fear this is an unpopular view, because people are afraid to face up to the scale of the issue.
