Did half the town Rape this girl?

Since it’s been bumped, for anyone finding this from ~the future~, please take this post from another thread referencing this one:

@Jragon

Don’t use my posts in [this] thread they were wrong. For one I was a shitty person 8 years ago and being on this board since I was 16 and impressionable world-view-wise was a big part of it, I wasn’t slapped down hard enough for making bullshit “emotionally detached” arguments about shit like rape and pedophilia. My change happened I think that same year, but it was getting temp-banned from another board for doing the “pedophilia and ephebophilia aren’t the same thing and people shouldn’t feel bad for being pedophiles/ephebophiles anyway as long as they don’t act on it,” something which is, at best, not something you should say because it culturally defends pedos, and is an argument I came across repeatedly on this damn board.

I had also been repeatedly coerced into sex by my partner the last couple years before that and was trying to make sense of why I kept letting it happen and took it out on that news story by trying to rationalize what had gone wrong in her (my) life that she (I) didn’t do “the right thing” after.

Also, I’m a woman and my pronouns are she/her.

And from 2013, Girl, 14, now pregnant — was victim at age 11 of repeated gang rape by 20 men and boys

At the risk of reviving this hellthread, I don’t see what the fucking purpose is of reporting she was pregnant as a teen from (presumably) consensual sex with a boyfriend around the same age as her. I can contort myself into a generous interpretation, but really my first strongest instinct is it seems like a subtle victim-blamey insinuation of “see!? And now she got knocked up by sleeping around at 14! She’s a slut after all!” At best the insinuation is “these poor rape victims end up sexually promiscuous” with the implication that her having consensual sex is a character flaw brought about by her assault.
