This post will be mostly ramblings, capital letters and cursewords, because sometimes a calm, rational tone do not cut it so sorry but here goes:
"The pictures from Steubenville don’t just show a girl being raped.
They show that rape being condoned, encouraged, celebrated."
From the article in Newstatesman; "Steubenville Rape Cultures Abu Ghraib Moment".
But this isn't just the defense. No.
This tumblr have been posting updates for days now, showing a culture that condone, encourage and celebrate the perpetrators and vilify THE VICTIM!?
I am sorry, but
WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG?
If these dudes cant help RAPING A WOMAN THEY SHOULDN'T FUCKING DRINK!!! How the FUCK can ANY crime be ok just because the victim is drunk!? Robbery? Murder? And is there any more blatant way you CAN resign your career than raping someone!?

there was no question that Mays and Richmond are guilty: there is enough film, photographic and text message evidence to make the case clear. The arguments in their defence, instead, revolve around the notion that these boys, beloved athletes in a town where football is everything, did nothing wrong when they assaulted their helpless victim. They are tragic heroes who were just having fun, like young men do, and the pictures prove it. Everyone looks so happy. High-profile rape cases have happened in American football towns many times before - remember the cheerleader who was forced to cheer for her rapist? - but Steubenville is different. The pictures make it different. What the Steubenville footage recalls most chillingly is the torture photographs from Abu Ghraib prison almost a decade earlier, showing American soldiers in Iraq smiling chummily around the prone bodies of political prisoners.
