“there is clearly no humanity in this person worth interrogating because i say so” is a horribly narcissistic, smug thing to think about anyone. all people are people whether you like it or not

It's always nice to pull one quote out of a 42-minute video, isn't it? Which tells me this was either cherry-picked, or the person posting it didn't actually watch the whole thing. I say through this vile and disgusting video for 42 minutes. Not just cherry picked one quote.
The irony of Shoe0nHead claiming that cases like Cornell make "real victims less believable" (40:10) is incredible, considering she spent much of the video doing exactly that.
Without fail, every time a sexual assault case makes headlines, it's the same shit. "But what if she's lying?" And suddenly we're dissecting the woman's sex life, her behavior, her credibility, and whether her trauma responses are believable enough.
She starts the video mocking whatever women are supposedly outraged about this week (00:15). Then she insinuates the accuser only called it rape because she was embarrassed and got uninvited to a Halloween party (11:44–12:04). She mocks women sharing their own sexual assault experiences (15:16) and then ridicules trauma responses (20:43–22:02).
And here's something that really bothers me. Jane Doe initially consenting to a threesome does not mean she consented to a gangbang. It certainly doesn't mean she consented to other men being invited upstairs, or someone advertising her as "free pussy" in a fraternity group chat. Shoe0nHead even acknowledges those messages (07:06). How the hell is that not worth discussing more?
Instead, she spends an absurd amount of time going off about feminism, hookup culture, pornography, and women's sexual freedom (33:23–39:38). What the hell does any of that have to do with whether this woman was sexually assaulted?
And here's another thing. According to RAINN's estimates, approximately 73% of sexual assaults aren't even reported to police, and only around 2.8% result in felony convictions. Yet every time one of these cases comes up, the discussion somehow turns into false accusations being the biggest problem.
I'm sorry, but that's ridiculous.
The accused absolutely deserve due process. Nobody is arguing otherwise. But the accuser deserves to have her allegations properly investigated too. Not being criminally charged doesn't automatically mean someone didn't commit the alleged acts, and it certainly doesn't prove the accuser lied. Especially when the original prosecutor acknowledged he never received the full interview containing her explicit rape allegations.
Then she brings up Duke lacrosse and Rolling Stone (17:49–20:43), practically inviting everyone to assume this is another false accusation, while criticizing other people for jumping to conclusions. She mocks women's understanding of consent (23:20–25:30), speculates about the accuser's motives, and somehow presents herself as the reasonable, objective person in the room.
If she's so concerned about real victims not being believed, maybe she should consider what spending 42 minutes mocking women, dismissing trauma, and publicly humiliating a potential victim does to those same victims.
Vile and disgusting person.
Shoe0nHead dropped her Cornell 7 video on YouTube
"One of the worst parts about all this is how it absolutely makes real victims less believable. Oh, it's just another Duke lacrosse situation or Rolling Stone or Mattress Girl. These viral cases that blow up and then slowly fall apart are the most damaging to real victims”

To everyone celebrating Lula’s reelection victory, I just want us to all acknowledge Erika Hilton right here. She’s a Black trans woman who became the most voted congresswoman in Brazilian history this cycle and has been campaigning nonstop for Lula in the second round
