A commentary I wrote on the reality of image-based sexual abuse - and what survivors are living with - was published in the Herald Sun today.

- This isn’t about consent. Strangulation is a serious form of violence against women. It is a known red flag for future homicide, increasing a woman’s odds of being killed by seven times (@CollectiveShout).
- A game where you rape your mother, aunt, and friend’s mum was approved for @Steam. Published. Promoted. @valvesoftware profits from this. Don't tell us it's “just a game.” This is rape culture in 3D. Remove it. collectiveshout.org/no-mercy-game-… via @CollectiveShout
- We said no to rape as entertainment—and now ‘No Mercy’ is GONE. This is what happens when YOU collectively shout out against the sexploitation of women and girls. ✊🏼✊🏼✊🏼 @CollectiveShout #steam #nomercy #gaming #win
- In just 2 WEEKS we saw over 145k petition signatures, 1000's of reports, emails and global media coverage resulting in this WIN! We’re not stopping here. #AndrewTate et al. will keep trying to spread their dangerous messages. But we’ve shown that we can fight back—and win.✊🏻
- Replying to @Lowceeblow @Steam and 2 othersCool. And you’re just a walking red flag with WiFi access.
- I’ve got a whole bunch of shop’s you probably don’t want us to tag @Etsy. Shops that as we speak are selling items that normalise child abuse and incest. 1/5 MaxEnvision - incest-themed merch 👇🏻
Tag the shop you just bought a present from ✨ - “If you don’t like it, don’t watch it.” The normalisation of pornography affects society as a whole. We can’t just “opt out” of a culture that perpetuates sexual exploitation any more than we can “opt out” of pollution in the air. This affects all of us.
- Replying to @reneechopping‘The portrayal of acts of violence against women as sexy and desirable not only contributes to a culture of violence against women – it silences victims by preventing them from naming or recognising what happened to them as abuse.’ collectiveshout.org/_porn_has_a_lo…
- Two of Tate's pimping hoes degree courses remain despite @Spotify publicly stating they breach platform rules. Sign and share the petition here to help keep the pressure on to get #TateOffSpotify 👉🏻🚨 SPOTIFY REMOVES ANDREW TATE’S “PIMPING” PODCAST. “Several podcasts have been removed from the service this week, including the “pimping hoes” course.” An online petition signed by more than 92,000 people was sent to Spotify.
- Replying to @reneechoppingChoking/strangulation ‘promotes, normalises and eroticises acts of sexual violence that put women and girls at risk of serious injury and even death’ (@CollectiveShout). #WeCantConsentToThis
- Gamers are dredging up our support of Netflix film 'Cuties' in an attempt to paint us as “pro-exploitation”. As usual, they’ve missed the point - or ignored it on purpose. For those who didn't get past the headline, here's what we actually said 🧵/
- Replying to @50kSavage_Clean @valvesoftware and 2 othersImagine rushing to defend a rape simulator online... Just say “I peaked in Year 9” and go.
- Social media platforms are enabling @Cobratate to recruit children into their misogynistic, exploitative empire. We’re backing @Gadget44027447's petition calling on TikTok & Instagram to remove Andrew Tate - permanently. Sign and share here: chng.it/5mZmZmZd9j
