I saw a skit yesterday that really bothered me. @_thetrenchboy made a “skit” where he played the role of an elder brother to a young boy bringing home friends from JAMB lessons (girls). Attracted to them, he sent his brother away, played sexually explicit Spartacus scenes in front of the girls, and acted creepy while watching with them. When the younger brother returned and confronted him, he invented a “game” to lure one girl into the bathroom to sexually exploit her. People watched, laughed, liked the video, and saw nothing wrong. Do we not understand that exposing people to sexually explicit content without consent can be sexual harassment? That deliberately luring a girl into a bathroom under false pretences for a sexual encounter is neither harmless nor funny? He had them wear revealing clothes to justify it in his degenerate skit, but most girls writing JAMB are under 18, minors. Why are we comfortable turning the sexual harassment and potential exploitation of young girls into comedy? This is how rape culture and pedophilia thrive. We package predatory behaviour as entertainment, laugh, reward it with engagement, and call it harmless fun because it’s “just a skit.” Tomorrow, when Nigerian men are convicted abroad for rape and child sexual abuse, everyone expresses shock. But what attitudes are we cultivating when we treat content depicting the sexual harassment of potentially underage girls as comedy?
