He lead me to a bed in the back on the bus and closed the door. He put on Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. I decided to watch a few minutes and at least have a weird story to tell my boyfriend later. Yes, 17 year olds can be naïve. This is why older men target teenage girls. /8

I've carried a sense of deep shame from this assault for many years. I thought it was my fault. How could I let him do this to me? But he was 36. I was 17. He knew exactly what he was getting away with. What could I have done differently? My body was paralyzed.

Now that I am approaching the age that Maynard James Keenan was when he assaulted me, the thought of assaulting a 17 year old is completely unthinkable. Just *unthinkable*. We have to train men to think rape is as unthinkable as cannibalism.

When I was 9 years old, Twitter user
@Iwas17HeWas36 raped me. She invited me into her room to watch Frasier Season 3 and raped me while I was frozen in fear. I have to share my story. If you don't believe me, you're a rape apologist.#metoo

It’s still rape. She never gave consent. Doesn’t matter if it’s statutory or not. Stop protecting your gross faves.

To clarify, I agree with taking accusations seriously, I'm not calling the accuser a liar. However, I agree with Manson in that there is this snowball effect that happens on social media that can be very damaging, in some cases, unnecessarily.

I support you 100% and I'm very, deeply sorry you had to go through that with someone you admired so much, but please consider changing your position to *leave all girls alone*. "No" means NO regardless your age. Rape is criminal if you're 16, 30 or 83.

How can you just blindly believe someone?!? This is ridiculous.until proven.

why is it so difficult to understand that guys rape girls all the time? But somehow it’s more believable that girls would make it up. Any real victim knows it won’t make u famous. Infamous maybe, like a leper no one will go near. Name 2 Cosby victims off the top of your head.

In her story, she didn't consent. Surely it's as simple as that.

Implied consent?! She was 17 and fan girling at actually meeting Maynard. He didn’t hit on her or kiss her. Where is consent implied in this story? This is the same “she was asking for it” excuse rapists consistently use. Using power to manipulate and coerce is not consent.
-
Yes exactly. Because a 17 year old getting on a bus is "implied consent" for all that followed apparently.
Horrifying logic. -
Yes being a fan doesn’t automatically mean you want to bang the guy. Nothing is implied here except she was 17 and had no idea what was happening.
-
Of course. That should be obvious to everyone, and it worries me deeply that it isn't.

Ok, so you are falsely accusing someone of a crime, you are mispresenting who you are, you are asking for donations for a fake reason, and you are misusing valuable police resources if they investigate. You just committed 4 crimes, 5 if you sign an affidavit with this testament.
