Outing rapist & predators is NOT USELESS. Do you know how many rapist been outed in my own city? Who are tattooist, photographers, etc? Do you understand how this goes a long way? If you don’t, pls reevaluate.
If you can save somebody else, that is enough. Y’all say posting bout it give the abuser power but when shall we take our power back? Not every1 who deserves, goes to jail & when they do, they get out. We still need to know who to look out for. If that bothers u, your the problem
Let me just add, when you out someone, you can’t control what ppl do with the info. You did your part cus you felt the need to do so. You were ready to. When & if you ever decide to do so, you must be mentally prepared for all of the possible outcomes.
Yes, sometimes we’ll see ppl remain cool with them, & we don’t get the reaction we wanted/ expected. I still believe it reaches somebody. We can’t save everyone but we can label rapist for what they are, a rapist. Its about holding these ppl accountable.
I understand not every1 can out their rapist, but that isn’t what this post is bout. It’s about the ppl who think we should stay silent & go to the police solely, without ever considering our stories. So for those who do speak up, I appreciate your bravery 💞 We hear you.
This original post, was inspired by another tweet. Someone said it’s useless to go to social media & instead we must go to the police. Y’all always say this without considering the fact that a lot of ppl do/did & even if we don’t our stories are valid.
When I outed my rapist on Twitter, it didn’t get much attention & I had to remind myself that it isn’t bout “canceling” or public shaming. It’s bout using my voice, & warning any1 who decides to listen. It’s a friendly reminder for their disgusting actions that held weight on me.
U can’t tell ppl like me to go to the police when I blamed myself for years, & never told any1. I outed him & I’ll do it again. What ppl do with that info isn’t on me, but if I can reach just one person, that’s enough. If I can just remind him for what he did, that’s enough 4 me.

you hit it every time! talk your shit! folks don’t understand, they think it’s abt ruining a reputation when in reality it’s abt trying to end that cycle of them getting a way with doing such inhumane shit!
@Jazsarae
saying “call the police” is useless!!! outing rapists is a way of ppl sticking together!! sm more useful than relying on law enforcement who doesn’t care abt us

Had someone out an abuser that I had been good friends with. Turns out we lost touch when he went to jail and I had no idea- figured we lost touch. Never would have known except a friend posted a warning about him since he was back in the community. Outing abusers saves people.

i was gonna work with this photographer he offered to shoot me. and he’s worked with bigger names so it felt legit. then a friend sent me a post and he had multiple ppl expose him for r*p* and drugging them. those allegations potentially saved me from that same fate. it matters

My ex r*ped me four years ago and I decided to speak up and out him on social media as he became a streamer. I made an official police report and they did nothing. He shamed me and essentially doxxed me after I outed him. He tried to make me look crazy.
