That Partey goal thread was a bit of a mess wasn’t it? Loads of people making the same tired, obvious, and tasteless sexual assault joke. It’s a serious matter, not an open mic night or an excuse to get one over Arsenal fans.

Used to see the same thing in Marcos Alonso related threads as well.
Never mind some poor girl lost her life as a result of his drink driving, as long as the r/soccer comedians could have their little joke while acting all high and mighty the second they were called out on it.

Yeah. It's quite right for people to be angry at how sexual assault is so often overlooked in football. But like you say a lot of people in those threads aren't actually *angry* about it, they're looking for a platform to *make jokes* about it.

Came here to post this. Obviously fuck Partey and I want him gone ASAP, but I’m getting more than a little tired of people on social media who are happy to lean into their pretend outrage to dunk on Arsenal fans but the first to post “Well he really forced that one in/gave the opponent no choice OMEGALUL” every time he scores or makes a tackle or something.
I know a lot of people, myself and yourself included, are rightly outraged that he’s still playing but a lot of the time the “Your club employs a rapist” stuff feels very performative to me. People don’t actually give a shit that women were assaulted, they just want to engage in cheap point scoring on the internet. It’s sad.

can you please report people who try and get karma over meming over sexual assault please. I've just gone in modqueue and there are two top level posts I've removed but I'm of a mind to start thinking whether joking about stuff like this is an instant ban.

This place is basically Twitter now. Used to be good prior to 2020.

Like 95% of them don’t actually care about the women getting raped, they just want to get their licks in against a rival. It’s abhorrent
