7 Panel Comic

Panel 1: White text on blood red background “TW: Sexual Assault”

Jane Doe: This hurts….there’s too many people here…

I can’t breathe…

Panel 3: Beside the girl lays an empty liquor bottle and an empty pill bottle. Hands press down on her head and chest.

Jane Doe: I’ve got the spins

Who’s touching me?

I don’t want to do this anymore

Panel 4: A group of naked men laugh as they enjoy themselves

Jane Doe: I’m scared…

I can’t talk anyway…

Panel 5: Blood runs between her thighs. Her legs are bruised.

Jane Doe: Ow! Stop grabbing me!

I think I’m bleeding…

…I want to go home…

Just….gonna….shut….down….

Panel 6: The girl wraps her arms around her legs and closes her eyes as she listens to the barrage of insults, vitriol and victim blaming after coming out with what was done to her.

    I am going to preemptively say that if you decide to comment and say anything remotely victim-blaming or stir up any drama against the artist or fellow community members, your comments will be removed, up to and including being banned.

    Please consider using the spoiler markdown if you feel the need to go into detail.

    :::spoiler Some title suggesting Trigger Warning (TW)

    We are all adults here, and can objectively (AND RESPECTFULLY) have difficult conversations when needed. Not everyone has the same experiences, nor the same reactions, and their traumas are very real regardless of what you may see or know about them.

    I saw only panel 1 (just the title in a box). I thought it was brilliant. Like, the first comment would be “that’s not funny.” and response would be “you are correct.” then i realized there were more panels. either way it works.

      Sorry. Typically I post the 4 panel versions when artists do the combined uploads, but this one didn’t have that and I usually try to respect the medium and titles the artists give to their work. I thought about giving this one a couple different titles but ultimately settled on leaving the authors comment as is. As the content would be upsetting for many readers I decided to bury the main content in a spoiler warning to avoid a NSFW tag and respect the original post.

    Christians must condamn rapists toward their god, but support and defend them toward society. For them accusing someone of having comit a rape is wrong and bad:

    Matthew 18:6–7

    6 But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea.
    7 Woe unto the world because of offences! for it must needs be that offences come; but woe to that man by whom the offence cometh!
    

    Luke 17:1–2

    1 Then said he unto the disciples, It is impossible but that offences will come: but woe unto him, through whom they come!
    2 It were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he cast into the sea, than that he should offend one of these little ones. 
    

    For christians, the one victim of rape have the duty to shut up, and let society live in peace without knowing about it. And them denying the victime’s claim is the consequence of their faith.

    Of course, christian faith isn’t the only cause, but in western society, we won’t get progress against rape without get rid of this poison.

      That’s a bit reductive, isn’t it? Are you saying that all christians would blame someone for speaking up? It feels like it, regardless

      Faith is not the evil here, staying hung up on what some people said centuries before us without giving second thought is. And some people do think it over when thinking about their faith. I don’t think it’s fair to them to say that their own faith is the cause of such hate and sedentarism

        Excuse me, of course all christians do not behave exactly as the bible says. On that point either. They are also told to do not kill nor rape, and some do it anyway, so even if they are told to blame those who speak up, some disobey and support them instead.

        Yet most of them behave according to the principles they have learnt, most of the time. And when a scandal that doesn’t conrcern them directly spread in the news, it usually iritate them, and their position on the topic usually starts against those who speak up.

        Are you saying that all christians would blame someone for speaking up?

        I am. I don’t know a single Christian who would speak up against sexual assault. People hide behind religion because in their hearts they are cowards.

      I think you’re misreading that, partly because of the dated language used in what I’m guessing is the New King James Version.

      ‭‭Matthew‬ ‭18‬:‭6‬-‭7‬ ‭NIV‬‬

      ““If anyone causes one of these little ones—those who believe in me—to stumble, it would be better for them to have a large millstone hung around their neck and to be drowned in the depths of the sea. Woe to the world because of the things that cause people to stumble! Such things must come, but woe to the person through whom they come!”

      It says, those who cause children to sin (note this often interpreted as sexual abuse, but not exclusively) would be better off dead. It then continues saying the world is cursed because of the temptations of sin in it, but while temptations are a part of life, cursed is the person who is the source of such temptations.

      ‭‭Luke‬ ‭17‬:‭1‬-‭2‬ ‭NIV‬‬

      “Jesus said to his disciples: “Things that cause people to stumble are bound to come, but woe to anyone through whom they come. It would be better for them to be thrown into the sea with a millstone tied around their neck than to cause one of these little ones to stumble.”

      Again here it says people will fall for temptations that cause you to sin, but cursed is the person who tempts others to sin. A person who causes children to sin would be better off dead.
