One unfortunate thing about sex trafficking is that it's so charged, so rare, and has unambiguously "good victims" vs "bad guys" - there's a lot of incentive to identify as a victim, or play up the degree it's happened to you. This can muddy the waters of real vs fake victims

Same issue with "believe all rape victims" - super good in theory, like women are often underbelived, but this well intentioned structure ends up providing strong social cover for bad actors. Lie about it and people are afraid to doubt you, because we've demonized doubt.

All of this is tragic, because as long as bad actors can plausibly masquerade as good victims, the actual victims will be paying the price of being doubted. (that being said there's a sex trafficking survivor on twitter whose story I find kinda sus but I'm afraid to say)

found her sus for years. it's all finally coming out now with reciepts. I hate that she's high profile enough that she's developed the trust of a number of public figures who will stand by her, without question just because they share the same ideological povs

Her recent prominence was cause of her claims that Elon Twitter had suddenly removed illegal material & she never had evidence for that claim. It seems she was referring to the fact that searches for the app name 'Telegram' were temporarily blocked, which is not a solution at all

Someone did a great story for NPR a few years ago about all the foreign aid NGOs that singularly help female victims of sexual violence. How they create this strong incentive to be a victim to get aid. They provided many examples of fraud but, of course, lacked the courage to 1/2

What she did... Getting those people suspended? Despicable. It's frankly depressing how quickly Elon's company grew to include these grifters.

Where on the spectrum do you fall on the playboy mansion fiasco? More towards Innocent victims or willing participants?

It’s ok it’s Eliza Bleu an ex- my chemical romance groupie and world star hip hop “model” it appears as though she’s been trying to pop off online for well over a decade and when nothing else worked, playing victim stuck to the wall. But the cheese is starting to slide…

Seems like general culture has moved away from disbelief “because of the few bad actors” stance over the last 5 years. There will be always be people who don’t believe any wrong doing has occurred with any victim based crime. But it is a fading perspective and that gives me hope
