Hot take: being raped doesn’t make you a wonderful person. People don’t fall neatly into distinct categories of “victim” and “perpetrator”; you can be both.

I follow a number of campaigners and have been in these circles and I have to say I have been full bitch eating crackers with her for years so I’m not surprised she’s got some skeletons.
She once retweeted AI-generated fake news about Hamas raping Israeli babies or something, and when we told her it was fake I think she just deleted it days later without acknowledging that she was spreading falsities (can’t check specifics, deleted my twitter last year).
She regularly posts just like random normal photos of holidays and selfies but framed as if she was a hero for all survivors for posting them, with captions like “After my ex raped me, I never thought I would get to enjoy life like this. Now I’m standing here, at a Christmas market.” You can go check, she was basically gaming SEO for survivors to increase her online following.
Obviously what happened to her was awful, and I’m grateful she campaigned to get things changed but she has never been a good spokesperson for survivors.
