They came back with another attack.
They're misusing "rape apologist" to attack their targets, cheapening the value of that term.
The real "cult" is the group they're part of, and they're deflecting blame. Facts and objective reporting are being misrepresented, and their name-calling shows immaturity and a lack of valid arguments. This is more proof they're aggressors using strawman arguments to attack others who are standing with facts and evidence not just opinions. Facts > opinions.
Woomb is showing how abusive they are.
From a friend showing the ones that using rape apologist on the targets are just a part of a cult that is misusing the term and cheapening the value of that word.
The targets are not rape apologist more manipulative tactics from that cult woomb is a part of and more proof they are the aggressors who can’t handle the facts or different perspectives.

None of this fits to the targets. It does fit to some of the hate group aka the real cult.
Identifying A Rape Apologist
“Rape Apologist” is an umbrella term for someone who for someone who blames survivors, has a general disbelief in allegations of assault, and participates in the normalization of sexual violence. They can be any person of any gender identity, sexuality, race, ethnicity, or age. While the term make evoke an image of a particular group or type of person, in reality, anyone can be a rape apologist. A rape apologist is not just someone who is outwardly aggressive towards survivors who speak out or someone who makes sexually harassing comments, they are also someone who is apathetic or tolerant towards sexual violence. One either participates in upholding or dismantling rape culture.
Reluctant to Believe Survivors
When they hear about allegations of sexual assault, they immediately ask for proof and claim that the perpetrator is "innocent until proven guilty.”
Why is this a problem? Immediately demanding proof demonstrates that one has an inherent disbelief of survivors and needs to be proven otherwise. While innocent until proven guilty is a good method for our legal system, it is not supposed to be a tool that we rely on in order to demonstrate our support for survivors. Most survivors do not report, and most of those that do report do not get their day in court to prove that the perpetrator is guilty.
Making Excuses
When they or a friend get accused of inappropriate behavior, they shrug it off, downplay it, and insist that the person who committed the act is a good person.
Why is this a problem? No form of sexual violence should be downplayed or ignored and all survivor experiences are valid. Additionally, part of breaking down rape culture is understanding that anyone can be capable of sexual violence; there is no quality that someone can have that absolves them of any guilt. Someone can be a good person to you and be abusive towards someone else.
Definition of Consent
They have a distorted view on how to give and receive consent and deny that certain behaviors are sexually abusive.
Why is this a problem? Someone cannot participate in dismantling rape culture if they do not know what behaviors are wrong. Not only will not understanding consent result in sexual violence, but it will cause them to be dismissive towards acts of sexual violence they hear disclosed.
False Allegation Panic
They wrongly believe that false allegations are a serious threat to them or others and overestimate the prevalence of false allegations, resulting in an inability to provide support to survivors.
Why is this a problem? It is false. False reports are extremely rare. Widely reported statistics put the estimated number of falsely reported assaults at 2-10%. But even this is an overestimation, because a rape has to be reported first in order to be considered falsely reported, and 90-95% of survivors do not report their assault. Therefore, that statistic only applies to 5-10% of assaults, putting the real statistic closer to .5% of disclosures of assault (Heaney 2018).
Reactivity
They get more upset about allegations that they believe are false than allegations that are proven to be true.
Why is this a problem? As mentioned above, false allegations are extremely rare and it is statistically unlikely that a survivor who is disclosing to you is not telling the truth. When someone gets more angry about allegations that they suspect are false than they do over true and proven acts of sexual violence, it demonstrates that they find false allegations of sexual assault worse than sexual assault itself. In reality, sexual violence is a pervasive and undeniable fact that plagues all societies around the world and the extremely low rate of false accusations does not compare in its social impact.
Victim-blaming
They engage in typical victim-blaming behaviors such as asking whether the survivor was drinking or what they were wearing.
Why is this a problem? Victim-blaming is essentially telling survivors that they took actions to deserve or expect their assault. No survivor EVER deserves or invites sexual assault. Engaging in this behavior demonstrates that one finds victims more responsible for their assault than the assailant.
Distorted Views of Sexual Violence
Their understanding of sexual assault does not go much farther than the dark alley stranger stereotype. they have a hard time believing sexual assault that occurs between partners.
Why is this a problem? Sexual violence rarely happens in the ways it is potrayed in the media and almost always involves someone that the survivor knows.
Objectifying Others
They overly sexualize people around them and make inappropriate comments to the person's face or behind their back.
Why is this a problem? This is sexual harassment, which is a form of sexual violence.
Do Not Employ a Zero Tolerance Policy
They continue to associate themselves with friends and acquaintances who have allegations of sexual violence. Additionally, they continue to support celebrities who have allegations against them. They continue to surround themselves with these abusers even after the allegations have been proven. While they may state that they are trying to remain neutral, neutrality only benefits those who are causing harm, not receiving it.
Why is this a problem? Survivors often cannot rely on the traditional justice system to hold the assailant accountable. As a result, they rely on social justice from their friends, family, and peers to hold them accountable by denouncing the behavior on a zero tolerance policy. Sexual violence is never okay and it can never be swept under the rug.
Misusing “rape apologist” to attack their targets cheapens the value of that term.
A rape apologist excuses, downplays, justifies rape, or blames the victim. None of the targets are doing that. However, some from the real cult harassing the targets are rape apologists, as they denied a rape survivor. Using “rape apologist” to attack others is a manipulative tactic that’s overused and misused. Some targets used reverse psychology to help the aggressors understand what they were doing. Aggressors like Woomb think the targets are ignoring the rape they see and dismissing the points and facts made.
Woomb misuses terms and lacks valid arguments, choosing to attack their targets instead of addressing the facts. This is why Woomb and their cult are the aggressors. They force everyone to see rape or be labeled with negative terms. The targets stand against this treatment and present evidence showing the validity of perspectives such as sexual assault or coercion but not rape. It’s for aggressors to understand that other perspectives are valid and that differing opinions shouldn’t be attacked.
The targets stand with facts, terms, and the actual story, while people like Woomb add details to make the story more toxic and spread more hate. This behavior raises questions about their motives. If Woomb is misrepresenting the story to elicit more hate, what does that say about them?
If the targets think Woomb is adding rape to make it more toxic, does that make Woomb a rapist? Using the same logic Woomb is using, the targets are not calling anyone a rapist but trying to wake up the abusive cult members who misuse and overuse manipulative tactics. But they are going up against facts and the actual story.
Also, if Woomb’s perspective is similar to their targets’ and they label the targets as rape apologists, what does that make Woomb? Their use of strawman arguments and abusive behavior suggests something worse.
This clarifies the manipulative tactics and logical inconsistencies in Woomb’s arguments that this hate group uses repeatedly. The targets are not rape apologists or weirdos for standing up to harassment or standing with facts and the actual story. This reveals Woomb’s insecurities from their immature and toxic behavior. Woomb is character assassinating themselves. It has never been about opinion versus opinion for the targets. They are standing up to allow all perspectives and fighting Woomb’s logic of “see rape or be a rape apologist.” That is wrong. Woomb is labeling people and their character based on their own opinion on a story and that is wrong. Woomb’s comments are showing more about Woomb and their character than their targets. Woomb has clearly shown they are the aggressor here and one that wants to hide the fact as this topic shows no one took time to understand the targets and only attack them to still attacking them a year later.
Tora and Rose deleted their accounts in November. TK has not responded since March.
They are still being attacked with gaslighting and strawman arguments. That is ridiculous.
Lmao keep yapping mate
