i didnt go to the authorities bc they don’t do shit

📜 do people not know how fucking scary that can be

exactly and like if you’re unsure of yourself at all like?

especially if it’s the same gender or you’re in a relationship or you’re both kids/teenagers or they’re a likable person yknow??

📜 people don’t tend to believe you unless you have “evidence” which can be hard to find in sa cases, also maybe they just didn’t want to go to someone they don’t know or trust about something that serious,,?

YEAH

and like … it’s possible to be assaulted /raped without knowing it was that ??

From the MelanieMartinez community on Reddit

this was what prompted this post bc what the fuck !!

📜 RIGHT and like you said sometimes people are unsure if it was that or not and people will DEFINITELY think you’re lying if you’re unsure, as shitty as that sounds, because people would be like “oh well if it was that traumatizing you’d remember it!” hey my guy do you not know how trauma works

📜 “timothy’s statement made me extremely upset” she made you upset because she spoke up about her experience with sa ?? literally get out of here /nay

NO YEAH “you’d remember it” “you wouldn’t have gone with it” who’s gonna tell them abt the flight freeze and fawn responses ..

ALSO YEAH THIS PERSONS REASONING IS INSANE ??
