Remembering fallen rapist Kobe Bryant and standing with Felicia Sonmez

Legendary rapist Kobe Bryant has passed away. Bryant was known for his assault of a woman, for his destruction of her body. For many, he represented exactly what they too wanted to be. Said Margaret Kimberley, "When Kobe raped that woman, it let me know that I could at least rape her vicariously through Kobe. We are all joined as one in fame -- or at least as fame whores. My condolences to Kobe and my only regret is that he couldn't rape more women." Michael Tracey shared, "I think what I liked best about Kobe were the tears in the vagina of his victim."
In his spare time, when not assaulting women, Bryant could be found on the basketball court or with the press inflating his own image.
When a rapist passes, it is important that we all celebrate him.

I wasn't going to comment on Kobe Bryant. He raped a woman. He probably raped more than one, but we know he raped one.

Because he's some idiots idea of sport's hero, we have to pretend that's he's wonderful? Maybe Robert De Niro can play him in a really bad HBO movie that tries to make us feel sorry for him and not his victim? They could use the same title -- THE WIZARD OF LIES.

Kobe Bryant died. It didn't make him heroic, it didn't make him a better person. For idiots like Michael Tracey -- human scum that hate women -- to insist "this isn't time for hot takes"? Remember that the next time one of your political foes dies, how about that?

Oh, wait, you're for truth, right? When it suits your purposes, at least.

Kobe is a rapist.

He hurt women.

And now in death, his followers are hurting women again.

Shame on THE WASHINGTON POST. And may every woman who has survived rape grasp that THE WASHINGTON POST is not a friend. Felicia Sonmez cares about rape and assault. She's experienced it herself.

I'm sure it was very painful for her to watch on Sunday as rapist Kobe was turned into The Great American Hero. He's trash. His death didn't transform him.

She saw the rah-rah and injected some reality into it. She did two Tweets linking to reports about rape.

For that, THE WASHINGTON POST put her on suspension.

Grasp that Jeff Bezos is not our friend. THE WASHINGTON POST is not our friend.

Felicia didn't do anything wrong.

She didn't make jokes (I did make jokes, see the start of this piece).

She Tweeted about the heavily reported rape.

And it was too much for little boys and the little girls who think they are little boys so they started attacking her.

Felicia did nothing wrong.

THE POST did everything wrong and they owe rape survivors an apology.

What THE POST did is outrageous. When you see filth like Michael Tracey insisting that no one talk about a rape because it's his hero, you're seeing reality. It's toxic masculinity.

And I'm going to say one more damn thing on this topic, the following owe apologies or else they're pedophiles:

Margaret Kimberley
Aaron Mate
Max Blumethal

All of you must be pedophiles -- why else are you Tweeting Scott Ritter or interviewing him or anything else?

Three times that man has been arrested for trying to have sex with girls -- underage females. He somehow managed to get away with no prison sentence the first two times. His deranged fan boyz insisted the arrests were Bully Boy Bush's doing to discredit poor Scott Ritter in the lead up to the Iraq War.

Thing is though, he got arrested a third time. Barack Obama was president. Had been for nine months. Scott got arrested again. Scott went on trial. Scott went to prison.

There's no reason anyone should be promoting him. None at all.

He's a pedophile. You promote him, you're putting his name out there as someone to trust. It's not like any of you pieces of human filth add "by the way, beware, he's a convicted pedophile." No, you just promote him.

I'm sick of you normalizing attacks on women and children. I'm sick of your pretense that Scott Ritter is 'a good guy.' He's not. You don't get arrested three different times for trying to have sex with underage girls because you're a good guy.

You really need to look at yourself and at what you're doing.

And THE WASHINGTON POST, when the frenzy over a used up athlete has passed -- one who, even while alive, was already a yesteryear as a result of better players such as LeBron -- better grasp that attacking one of their own reporters is not going to go away.

We're not going to forget what was done to Felicia Sonmez.

We're not going to forget that she was suspended for two Tweets. We're not going to forget that as she faced threats of violence and assault, the paper refused to stand by her.

In what world does this happen. Only in the world of Toxic Masculinity.
