Ex-pornstar brutally raped in her own home. Feminists go silent.

We can't be angry about something if we don't know that it's happened.

Being feminists, I'm pretty sure you could.

What do you mean"feminists go silent"? This doesn't appear to have been reported in any of the major news outlets, and the sources you give appear to be quite obscure. We can't be angry about something if we don't know that it's happened.

Good call. I was offended by the comments in this thread before I even read them. Or they were even made.

This story is about a month old. That's plenty of time for feminist youtubers, bloggers, writers, etc.. to catch wind of it. They catch on to every other obscure news piece that fits their agenda. Obviously it wasn't completely obscure if I managed to hear about it. Carrera says in her video that she contacted Anita Sarkeesian about the story, to which she received no reply.
Also,the mainstream media, has no problem reporting other supposed rape stories, even when there is a complete lack of evidence, as shown in the Rolling Stone false rape story mentioned above.

Oh yes of course, the universal pinnacle of feminist ideals that is the mainstream media.

I had no idea about this. It is really awful.

There. Consider this feminist having spoken.

Certain media outlets do seem to have been infiltrated by popular feminism, eg. gamergate and reporting on the nomorepage3 campaign, in which they pretty much pander to what feminists want to hear, portraying them as social justice warriors. Carrera talks about this in her video in the second article I linked.

And you didn't really say anything here. You just sort of condescendingly present a statement that you obviously disagree with like it is self-evidently false. You don't talk about the story at all.

I would have been extremely upset/angry if I had known about it, however this is the first I have seen.

As someone else said, it's not exactly in the main news or all over the Internet. You can't blame someone for not knowing something.

This is the first I've heard of the story, and as I said, it doesn't appear to have been reported in the major news outlets that most feminists read - because hey, we're normal people who believe in equality. We don't have a special newspaper for that or anything. As far as I know, Anita Sarkeesian is just some random blogger who's got a bit of attention in the past - she's not a feminist news outlet for the masses, despite what some people seem to think. If she was contacted, I don't know her personal motives for not responding yet, but that doesn't mean that you can tar all feminists with the same brush.

Also, this is a problem that's to do with the media rather than feminism, and whether consciously or not, you alluded to this in your post. The mainstream media tends to value some women more than others, based on perceived qualities such as attractiveness and respectability. If it was a film star or a singer who had suffered this horrendous attack, I'm sure we would have heard volumes about it, because the victim would be seen as innocent and respectable. But the sad fact is that the media either thinks that reporting about a sex worker being raped would be seen as degrading the quality of their journalism, or that she somehow "deserved" it for being a sex worker so it's not worth reporting.

There's also an ongoing problem with the attitude that men can't be raped, which led to minor coverage of Shia LaBoeuf saying that he was raped, but it was mostly framed in a manner that was intended to make him look ridiculous - because everyone knows that men can't be victims of rape or abuse because they're big and strong and manly and they'd beat up anyone who tried anything funny with them. Unfortunately, there's a similar attitude towards sex workers. People seem to think that sex workers, or people who have been sex workers in the past, are all "sluts" so it's impossible for them not to want sex at any point in their lives ever, therefore they can't be raped. Either that, or it's the possibly religiously influenced attitude that being raped is a "punishment" for engaging in sex work, because God forbid they actually have a choice as to what they do with their own bodies.

The irony is that feminism actually seeks to get rid of these attitudes. People shouldn't be excluded from equality because of what they personally choose to do with their body. They're not harming anyone and it's nobody's business to interfere with their career choice, any more than it would be if they were becoming doctors or taxi drivers. As for the perpetrators, who cares that they were black? They raped another human being and attacked her family. They belong behind bars. The colour of their skin is irrelevant.

I'm not talking about every single feminist, just the one's that you usually see putting content up about the victimisation of women on youtube for example. I find it hard to believe that these feminists have been completely ignorant to this story.
