I'm sorry that happened to you, truly, but dumping a story like that on a forum as populous and fucked up as this one is just asking for trouble.
 
I've been around metal heads most of my life. This kind of shit doesn't bother me. People seem to think that I should have lost my fucking sense of humor because I was raped. Joking about it isn't the problem. The problem is when someone crosses the line and rapes someone else.
 
in fairness there are less reasons to wanna make up this story than e.g. the decapitated thing. i find it hard to believe someone who wants money or attention is gonna accuse these random obscure death metal guys, nor would a troll be likely to do that. could be some kind of personal vendetta of course.
 
Yeah, people lie for all sorts of reasons. Money probably isn't even in the top 3 reasons why people lie about a traumatic event happening.

Edit: I don't want to speculate on her potential motivations because that's a little crass, I'm just saying I'm not a #believe type.

I'm with CIG, sucks if it's true but doesn't mean it is and there is very little proof offered either way.
The problem these days is that every forum has multiple threads of people accusing someone else of something bad, some get deleted some don't but to believe every one of them is a big ask of anyone.

It's fucked up if it's true but I'm not just going to believe a story because someone posted it online. People like Phylactery call that misogyny, I just call it not being a simp.

It has absolutely nothing to do with whether people believe the story or not and absolutely everything to do with how people word their responses on this forum. Tbf, aside from a few comments in this thread it hasn’t been too bad. But misogyny is rampant on these forums, to an almost disturbing level. Jimmydead or whatever he is called is literally the most misogynistic person I have ever witnessed.

How is it rampant? Women are rarely even talked about on here, outside of like one thread where people talk about relationship and dating shit. I can't even think of the last time something even approaching misogyny was expressed.
 
It would take a long time to go through all the comments I’ve seen - mostly on the social forum. And I’m not accusing specific people here, except Jimmydead. He is literally indefensible based on most of the comments he had made. Absolutely indefensible even by the brain dead standards that are some of the posters here. He sees women as little more than objects of his desires.

You're clutching pearls really hard and I just don't recognize this reality you're trying to describe. This forum certainly has a bunch of shitheads but "rampant with misogyny" is just idiotic and over the top.

Right. I have no reason to make up this story except that it's true, and yes, there is a personal vendetta: I was raped, and they got away with it. Not any more.
 
I believe it and I agree there's really nothing to be gained from posting it - except maybe peace of mind. I'm sure MetalSucks would love a few clicks over it...

It was disappointing to find out that this kind of shit happens in the music scene here and people felt they couldn't speak up about it before about 2016. Before then it was quite easy to assume that mostly only major concerts, sports and lame dance clubs attracted arseholes.
