It isn't a ground breaking one because victims have always been told the same crap. They've always weaponized something against us instead of actually addressing the the problem. In 2024 it's the same as the women who came out against Justice Thomas or other people throughout history especially if they were people with power. It sucks and it's horrible, but I don't have much hope in it changing any time soon.
That is insane, those same ppl are also saying “I don’t believe Tana, I wasn’t there, but I believe Cody is good” when they also weren’t there to see him be “good” ,it’s crazy mental gymnastics 😅
Thank you for speaking up!! It's infuriating how media portray men compared to women. How they STILL speak in terms of 'seductress', 'vixen', 'deviously sexy'...about girls who are LITERALLY UNDERAGE. From a very young age we basically get told everything that happens to us is our own fault. And if it's not, it somehow still is.
I didn't expect you to cover this, but it is certainly aligned with your activism for women's rights. Proud of you and your work! You made a lot of good points here.
Sexual abuse doesn't only happen to women. This isn't about women's right, not matter how much you want to make everything about you, this is about protecting minors. Of all genders.
Thank you so much for this video. I had an intimate relationship with a 25 year old when I was 17. It was non consensual from my side. It was abuse. And my mental health was used against me too. I feel this in so many ways, its heartbreaking. 😢
I'm sorry you were disrespected like that. I also was groomed as a teen by a man in his mid 30s. He played into it more by trying to take the place of my dad who my mom had recently gotten police to get out of our home. After he gained my trust and took on a fatherly figure thats when his sexual motives came to light. All that to say I understand being manpulated as a minor by an adult. I stand with Tana and people who have dealt with similar things.
The situation resonated so much with „promising young women“ His best friend-rapist BASICALLY is the character from this film, this situation is the „boy‘s club“ problem Emerald Fennell Portrayed in her film
Heya! There’s something else to this nobody has added yet! When Cody was 24/25, he dated a high-schooler from Laguna Beach named EB. This was around 2015, when he was making the transition from Vine to RUclips vlogging videos. The vlogs really do have so much information about his past inappropriate habits. He would hang around a LOT of high schoolers, including EB and her friend, RS. There’s links to RUclips videos on Reddit with Cody kissing EB, and at the time, EB had only just turned 18 in May, two months prior to the video. There are also videos where he (Cody) and his friend group obnoxiously flirt with RS. I don’t know if RS and EB were the only two girls, but they were certainly the most prevalent. You can check this for yourself, but this is fact. Please spread this around so we can get more attention on it!! This shows Cody has repetitive inappropriate behaviors concerning minors.
I've heard this story as well, but I've heard that this girl is not an influencer or someone with a big social media presence so please don't give out her name because she isn't the one speaking out about it. It's the internet speaking out for her and idk how she would feel receiving a lot of attention about something that she herself is not choosing to publicly talk about.
The thing that's worst about this is that Tana has no chance of getting justice. The statute of limitations has expired so Cody can't be prosecuted in the state of Florida, where this happened. He won't have to face any legal consequences for his actions. Why should victims have a time limit on getting justice? Why should any victim be expected to report their experience in a specific time frame? We know it can take years for victims to acknowledge they're victims. We know it can take even longer for victims to feel comfortable reporting what happened to them, especially when this happened whilst they were a child. This law benefits one group of people only. It benefits perpetrators. It tells them that if you can just keep your victim quiet for this number of years, you're legally in the clear because in the eyes of the law, this never happened. You won't face prison time. This applies regardless of the strength of the case and Tana has a pretty strong case. She has a witness to the early stages of her assault who is on record telling others about this years ago, without naming names. I'm betting there are other witnesses from the party who remember what happened. Combined with evidence from direct messages over the years, I think it's pretty incontrovertible. If the law was different, she could get a prosecution.
Have you stopped and considered that myabe she wanted this at the time, and still to this day doesn't see it as the major issue everyone in the comments seems to make it up to be. It's not like she shared it as a heartbreaking story, she was literally joking about it at a show.
@@Matthiasvd8 Whether she wanted it or not, she was a minor a *CHILD* and he was an *ADULT* he was supposed to know better as the older person in the situation and still chose to commit a crime while being FULLY AWARE it was a CRIME. No matter how much a seventeen year old wanted anything it was his job as the adult to not let it happen. Even if she still doesn't have any ill feelings towards it, it is still considered a crime for a reason.
@@teeleaf9252 It's as if you didn't even read the comment, you are arguing with a fictional person at this point At no point did i say anything about it being a crime or not or if he should have known better Seriously if this makes you so angry you can't read anymore while the actual victim you are defending is joking about the situation at shows in front of an audience you should really evaluate the situation
I like that we are having such a big conversation regarding the "types" of women we care about & protect in society. I found it fascinating hearing about the vast disparity regarding police treatment when I was doing my DV group counseling. I am honestly glad I was never exposed to such direct comparison in regard to my smegsual harm incidents bc I don't think that I could take it. But for DV I did the group for when I was assaulted to the face with a sledgehammer, arrested & refused medical assistance for over 3 hours. It will be 5 years in December & I still get 4 migraines with vomiting every single week. Most wāhine in my group had similar experiences, or horrible treatment by social services. But the pākehā girls from the right side of town in the right kind of profession came out of their situation loving the police & it was beyond frustrating hearing how very very very differently they were treated & protected 😐... anyway- Tana is rich, blonde & skinny, & still not worth anything in a lot of people's vocal opinions, because she has done smegs work & comes from an abusive home. Can you imagine what Māori go through? Anyway- I'm glad it's being discussed
When I was 16/17 I was taken advantage of online by grown adults, I didn’t realize it at the time and I didn’t think it was a big deal. I’m an adult now (19) and I wouldn’t even talk to a 16/17 yr old who isn’t a family member. I can’t imagine a 25 yr old thinking it’s appropriate to hang out let alone have s3x (which is r@pe) with a 17 yr old. I’m not a woman, but I can imagine many young women/girls feeling scared to come forward after seeing the backlash Tana received.
Powerful video, you’ve described how I’ve been feeling about this situation so eloquently. Time and time again we see these discrepancies at play whenever a victim comes forward, enough is enough. Thank you.
I always am comforted by your videos and your clear unyielding point of view helps me feel like I'm not crazy in this world of victim-blaming. Thank you mia ❤
YES! Goodness, have you seen the reaction to Bhad Bhabies (Danielle bregolli) sharing a video of her child’s father brutally assaulting her, begging and pleading him to stop. She posted another statement the next day saying she loves him more than herself, just tryna hold him accountable so he knows his actions are wrong, leaving would be the easy way, he’s getting help.,, the amount of victim blaming in this very dangerous situation is sickening. I wish more people knew about the cycle of abuse and DV, especially cuz it’s scarily common. People are saying it’s her karma. She acted out as a child because she had an extremely rough upbringing, despite how she was portrayed. Yeah, really makes my blood boil.
1) this is THE best video on the whole situation and i was just trying to find it again after watching it on the train, yet i scrolled for minutes and it didnt come up,
Yes, I saw it mentioned elsewhere and searched the EXACT title and her channel name, and it still didn’t come up. I had to ask someone for a link to watch. Wonder why that is
As someone who has been unstable due to BPD, I became unstable through abuse and my mental illness made me open to more exploitation while also making me not a “perfect victim.” Which caused a lot of people to disbelieve me that my professor hit on me. When they did. That’s why it’s so difficult as a mentally ill person to come forward.
So well said!!! Excellent points. Also, I was told “oh you’re always looking for attention “ when I was SA’d. They’ll silence you however they can and I’m sick of it. Victim doesnt mean I’m bad or wrong. Same for Tana
I was horrified by the community's treatment of Tana since the very start, because it was hypocrisy. She said the nword, so did every top RUclipsr at the time, but she was the one getting dragged. She lied in her story times? Wow, a 16yo lying to look cool, no way, never before seen anomaly. All that simultaneously with her more popular peers exploiting her for views, sometimes with inappropriate behaviour. Looking at idubz (who gave him the authority to police other people's content? Shaming content clearly not made for him just bc a teenage girl dared to do something online. And it was about that, make no mistake. All the problematic stuff he dug up was solely to reinforce that point, not the other way around) and Shane Dawson especially. I never liked her as a creator, but the piling behaviour against a teenage girl was upsetting to watch. You could tell her environment is toxic and she's affected and trying to put on a tough front. And regarding TanaCon? Whack, but its was hilariously exploitative for VidCon to have her face on a billboard at the hotel facade and not invite her as a featured creator at the same time. Like. What.
What I haven't heard is Tana lying about other people. She made stories for entertainment purposes like every TV show except documentaries and the news. I haven't heard anyone acknowledge that Tanacon was actually planned by an actual event planner that just sucked at his job and that a 19 year old RUclipsr obviously wouldn't understand that he was screwing it up. I don't think she ever intended for people to take her RUclips shenanigans seriously, because you shouldn't take any content like that seriously because it's entertainment. If you thought her storytimes were serious I have some bad news about SpongeBob, he's not real. She was a kid who was alone and without anyone to take care of her. She was vulnerable and surrounded by vultures. I'm sure there were plenty of people that took advantage of her and did bad things to her I guess Cody can sleep at night knowing that he wasn't the worst or only one. He can also be comforted by the fact that there won't be justice for her legally speaking.
I do understand your point. The thing is, the people who have raised this question, in the end, what they really want? I mean, do they want Cody Ko to be legally held in court and spent some time in jail if all of this proven true and he is criminally indicted, or what would be other option for this if the court does not necessarily make him serve time in jail? In the first option, people would be satisfied, but my problem with the first option, is that technically, this would not make the world a better place, generally speaking. My suggestion would be for Cody Ko to formally and by his own will, pay a load of money for any serious charity organization in order to redeem itself from this allegedly crime. Because, let's say, a million dollar in cash would certainly turn the lives of some people in desperate need around, one million dollars have the potential to change some lives, and with this one i would feel satisfied. I noticed that on your video, you do believe that man always seems to get away because their voice is a maxim for all of this, i get it, but what if i told you that the current "sexual culture" of the USA quite often put millions of men (and especially teenagers) in high risk of doing something unacceptable like Cody Ko did? Let me give you an example. In USA, it seems that the general culture supports pornography to a great extent. In this perspective, these adult-tech-companies are allowed to do whatever extravagant film they want, and they often produce hardcore material and especially material focusing on the fact that their female performers have 18 years old. In this scenario, what you have is tens of millions of adult films exploring 18 year old girls by the fact that, (((maybe))), their natural beauty is """"""worth"""""" of being capitalized on. So when you have tens of millions of Americans watching these types of adult films, what is the likelihood that they will feel entitled to try the same in real life? As these adult films messes up with our inner-cores, how they feel seen all of this? I would say that many of these men would feel the urge to go after 18 year old girls, so in this scenario, of course, many would be finding barely legal girls to date all the time. In my honest opinion, i find this extremely concerning, but i don't see that many RUclipsrs arguing against these practices within the adult industry, maybe because they know that many of these companies are accused of human-trafficking and related criminal activity (especially SA). So what i do see, is that Americans want to promote social justice, but don't have that much courage to go right where the problem arise. High-speed internet access to all of this hardcore material is essentially desensitizing man, and i find this disturbing to be completely honest with you. The thing is, IMO, i do believe that pornography causes more harm to the Heterosexual male community than good, but this is just my opinion, but, have you considered what these industries are doing to teenagers who allegedly have easy access to this (((very-concerning))) world? Have you go through reddit and saw many, many teenagers asking for help in dealing with their pornography addiction? Have you ever thought about how adult male predators are made? I guess they don't learn these evil thoughts by looking at stones or trees on the street. THINK ABOUT IT. Myself, by unfortunately having gone through the same pain these kids are going through in this weird and explicit web, i know very well what's going on. As i already explained to you a little bit. So think again, what may have caused Cody to be so desensitized that day? What possibly had also convinced 17 year old Tana to have allowed to such awful and painful experience? Remember that, different than what you have spoken on your video, i do not hold Tana accountable in any shape or form, if she was a victim of a truly disgraceful and traumatizing experience, i want the court to prompt the justice as soon as possible. Sorry for any grammatical errors, English is not my native language.
Oh naur! This is a great video, I love the points you've chosen to highlight. Especially on the double stadard of 'being young and dumb'. I hope this gets traction Mia, subscribed
6) (please noone make fun of it i've got groomer - experience myself and just really resonate with stuff thats been said and its frustrating that some other commentators havent made such a good video yet they are watched (not really talking about d'angelo, although it was lowkey a bit sus to me how much he had to say about "if he didnt do it" he should this and that))
"impossible defense" ..? Lmao how about the fact that where most of you all live, this is completely legal. In my state and in most of the country the age of consent is 16. 17 As well. And people think it's 16 for just other 16 and 17 year olds.. no.. it's 16 to consent to anyone This happens where I live all of the time. I haven't been in high school for 10 years but all the women with older boyfriends are doing just fine and have families. Thinking of them acting like traumatized victims would be I N S A N E. Tana wants attention and she will drag anyone. She drags her parents, she drags ex friends, ex boyfriends.. anyone to make it seem like "poor me". There are so many ACTUAL traumatized r@pe victims and this spoiled influencer wants to say "poor me". Cry about it.
I’m glad we’re denormalizing romantic and sexual relationships between 15-17 year old and 25-30 year olds. Hopefully this continues with the end of romantic storylines in tv shows and movies between these ages, and the end of sexual scenes with adult actors playing minors (one reason I’ve never watched euphoria). I’d prefer if we had an age group like in Sims for young adults. 18-25 year olds can only go up or down three years (not overriding existing laws that prevent 18 year olds from being with 15 year olds).
"As of April 2021, of the total fifty U.S. states, approximately thirty have an age of consent of 16 (with this being the most common age of consent in the country), a handful set the age of consent at 17, and in about eleven states the age is 18."
Tana is mainly doubted by many mainly because of her rep sheet not just because she is a woman. Sure gender have some part to play, but she has done a lot of shady stuff in (adulthood) to warrant people not taking her at her word at this point. Victims should be heard, but we need to apply evidence based reasoning too.
Immediately going for the ‘women experience this’ approach and using that for probably 60% of the video is hilarious and indicative of the lack of substance to Tana’s story
What I'm surprised by is the amount of women in his comments saying things like "Cody, come back", "The Haters could never make me hate you", and all sorts of statements that support him. It's almost exclusively women. If someone could help me understand this, I'd appreciate that.
@@WhatMiaDidNext That makes way more sense. Surprised that I didn't think of that myself though that does bother me considering the context of the situation.
@@WhatMiaDidNext you didn't mention that Gabbie Hannah is a person that suffers from multiple mental health issues, lies non stop, and who also tried to sell this story to a paparazzi website. You also failed to mention that Tana is also a pathological lier, and has been one for years. They are very weak as witnesses/victim since they have absolutely zero credibility. Tana also is famously incapable of taking accountability for anything (check tanacon) while also saying whatever she can to get likes and views. Cody has never been accused of anything else, besides of being friends with someone being accused of some sexual crime that was later dismissed. Innocent until proven guilty it's still a thing. As a side note, all of this is coming from her talking about the penis size of Cody in a public event, which I don't think it's that 1)shouldn't be done (it's body shaming) 2) not something I ever seen a victim say, specially not in front of people.
The "he was 25, he was young and dumb" and "she was old enough, she knew what she was doing" in the same defense kills me.
Right?? That’s insane

Because, let's say, a million dollar in cash would certainly turn the lives of some people in desperate need around, one million dollars have the potential to change some lives, and with this one i would feel satisfied.
I noticed that on your video, you do believe that man always seems to get away because their voice is a maxim for all of this, i get it, but what if i told you that the current "sexual culture" of the USA quite often put millions of men (and especially teenagers) in high risk of doing something unacceptable like Cody Ko did?
Let me give you an example. In USA, it seems that the general culture supports pornography to a great extent. In this perspective, these adult-tech-companies are allowed to do whatever extravagant film they want, and they often produce hardcore material and especially material focusing on the fact that their female performers have 18 years old. In this scenario, what you have is tens of millions of adult films exploring 18 year old girls by the fact that, (((maybe))), their natural beauty is """"""worth"""""" of being capitalized on. So when you have tens of millions of Americans watching these types of adult films, what is the likelihood that they will feel entitled to try the same in real life? As these adult films messes up with our inner-cores, how they feel seen all of this?
I would say that many of these men would feel the urge to go after 18 year old girls, so in this scenario, of course, many would be finding barely legal girls to date all the time. In my honest opinion, i find this extremely concerning, but i don't see that many RUclipsrs arguing against these practices within the adult industry, maybe because they know that many of these companies are accused of human-trafficking and related criminal activity (especially SA). So what i do see, is that Americans want to promote social justice, but don't have that much courage to go right where the problem arise. High-speed internet access to all of this hardcore material is essentially desensitizing man, and i find this disturbing to be completely honest with you.
The thing is, IMO, i do believe that pornography causes more harm to the Heterosexual male community than good, but this is just my opinion, but, have you considered what these industries are doing to teenagers who allegedly have easy access to this (((very-concerning))) world? Have you go through reddit and saw many, many teenagers asking for help in dealing with their pornography addiction? Have you ever thought about how adult male predators are made? I guess they don't learn these evil thoughts by looking at stones or trees on the street. THINK ABOUT IT.
Myself, by unfortunately having gone through the same pain these kids are going through in this weird and explicit web, i know very well what's going on. As i already explained to you a little bit.
So think again, what may have caused Cody to be so desensitized that day? What possibly had also convinced 17 year old Tana to have allowed to such awful and painful experience?
Remember that, different than what you have spoken on your video, i do not hold Tana accountable in any shape or form, if she was a victim of a truly disgraceful and traumatizing experience, i want the court to prompt the justice as soon as possible.
Sorry for any grammatical errors, English is not my native language.
The parallel you drew about the age thing made my stomach drop. its so sickening. i don't want to leave in this world
2) so i'm seriously contemplating commenting a whole bunch of stuff just so
Oh naur! This is a great video, I love the points you've chosen to highlight. Especially on the double stadard of 'being young and dumb'. I hope this gets traction Mia, subscribed
Thank you for your thoughtful analysis!
5) (i was only able to find it again cause i liked it which you should too! )
4) little push
6) (please noone make fun of it i've got groomer - experience myself and just really resonate with stuff thats been said and its frustrating that some other commentators havent made such a good video yet they are watched (not really talking about d'angelo, although it was lowkey a bit sus to me how much he had to say about "if he didnt do it" he should this and that))
Prolly cuz they have to say "if" and "allegedly" on the off chance that Cody never SA'd Tana.
"impossible defense" ..? Lmao how about the fact that where most of you all live, this is completely legal. In my state and in most of the country the age of consent is 16. 17 As well. And people think it's 16 for just other 16 and 17 year olds.. no.. it's 16 to consent to anyone
This happens where I live all of the time. I haven't been in high school for 10 years but all the women with older boyfriends are doing just fine and have families. Thinking of them acting like traumatized victims would be I N S A N E. Tana wants attention and she will drag anyone. She drags her parents, she drags ex friends, ex boyfriends.. anyone to make it seem like "poor me". There are so many ACTUAL traumatized r@pe victims and this spoiled influencer wants to say "poor me". Cry about it.
I’m glad we’re denormalizing romantic and sexual relationships between 15-17 year old and 25-30 year olds. Hopefully this continues with the end of romantic storylines in tv shows and movies between these ages, and the end of sexual scenes with adult actors playing minors (one reason I’ve never watched euphoria). I’d prefer if we had an age group like in Sims for young adults. 18-25 year olds can only go up or down three years (not overriding existing laws that prevent 18 year olds from being with 15 year olds).
"As of April 2021, of the total fifty U.S. states, approximately thirty have an age of consent of 16 (with this being the most common age of consent in the country), a handful set the age of consent at 17, and in about eleven states the age is 18."
Tana is mainly doubted by many mainly because of her rep sheet not just because she is a woman. Sure gender have some part to play, but she has done a lot of shady stuff in (adulthood) to warrant people not taking her at her word at this point. Victims should be heard, but we need to apply evidence based reasoning too.
When I was 25 I found 20 year olds too immature and gross to date ….and I have a developmental disorder
Immediately going for the ‘women experience this’ approach and using that for probably 60% of the video is hilarious and indicative of the lack of substance to Tana’s story
* it’s the people you know *
What I'm surprised by is the amount of women in his comments saying things like "Cody, come back", "The Haters could never make me hate you", and all sorts of statements that support him. It's almost exclusively women. If someone could help me understand this, I'd appreciate that.
They're kids.
@@WhatMiaDidNext That makes way more sense. Surprised that I didn't think of that myself though that does bother me considering the context of the situation.
@@WhatMiaDidNext you didn't mention that Gabbie Hannah is a person that suffers from multiple mental health issues, lies non stop, and who also tried to sell this story to a paparazzi website. You also failed to mention that Tana is also a pathological lier, and has been one for years. They are very weak as witnesses/victim since they have absolutely zero credibility. Tana also is famously incapable of taking accountability for anything (check tanacon) while also saying whatever she can to get likes and views. Cody has never been accused of anything else, besides of being friends with someone being accused of some sexual crime that was later dismissed. Innocent until proven guilty it's still a thing.
As a side note, all of this is coming from her talking about the penis size of Cody in a public event, which I don't think it's that 1)shouldn't be done (it's body shaming) 2) not something I ever seen a victim say, specially not in front of people.
I’m a 33 year old woman who loves him still and looks forward to his return 💪 there are actual bad people in the world, and he is not one of them.
💔😔
Blame alcohol 💀
😩😩
