I wish ppl would mention the fact that Terry Crews is a BLACK MAN and due to the BBC and Mandingo stereotypes which cause black men to be hyper-sexualized, WAS SCARED TO COME FORWARD ABOUT HIS ASSAULT BECAUSE HE IS A HULKING BLACK MAN and didn’t want to be humiliated or fight back because of all the shit he would get in the press for being rightfully violent in defense towards the person who groped him at a formal function, so all the posts in the vein of “if a 200+lb bodybuilding man can be assaulted and scared to speak up, what about a 125lb woman?” Like firstable, I’m an obese black bitch who got raped so I’m gonna need all of you to eliminate your default image of what a sexual assault victim looks like because it can be goddamn anybody, I hate how much of this conversation has obfuscated Terry’s race and only focused on his physique. It’s not just because he’s a big muscular man that he didn’t say anything, and he mentions that explicitly in his Twitter thread, ugh
