It's not meant to be funny, it's meant to highlight the biggest issue, which is victim blaming. Yes, they used a different, also serious issue, to highlight it, but that's not the message. No need to get aggressive.
Please read up on this. "Who blames victims for rape?" Well the majority of society does. We all remember Brock Turner right? If a girl reports a rape, as illustrated in this sketch, it's not taken seriously. She'll more likely face consequences of "ruining someone's life" and will be blamed for being selfish. When reporting a case, will be asked questions like "were you intoxicated", "what were you wearing?", "did you provoke them?". It's a problem, that's the point of this sketch.
Brock Turner is a bad example. He didn't get away with it because he's male (or even white, really). He got away with it because he's affluent. Even if not convicted, a false rape accusation can and will ruin your life and destroy your reputation if the accuser's social status is higher than yours. Oh, but wait, that never happens, right.
Mish you really are hypocrite, where ever you live on the northern hemispher tell me. In pour World the real World, proved by statistics, nearly 40% of rape accusations are fakes. The women because in our society is believed to be a victim will gain even without proof.
@@pebblepod30 I'm not going to read the whole thing but just because it's innocent until proven guilty doesn't mean you should expect the victim to be lying until it's proved they're not.
@@kai-hi4so Hello Kaiya. Firstly, why would you not read what I said before responding? I wrote 233 words - that's hardly an essay. Secondly, I did not imply as you suggest in anything I wrote: I basically just said there are good & reasonable grounds to expect people to make False Accusations in any area, for any gender when they are powerful; I insisted it as a responsibility that a crime is reported ASAP; and I upheld the Principle of Innocent until Proven Guilty - for everyone. Although that wasn't exactly clear, so - my apologies - I will edit it. Likewise, there are cases where it was proven (beyond reasonable doubt) that someone made a false rape accusation for whatever reason at the time - I still believe that something should also be only prosecuted or treated as a false accusation after the court case or at least when the evidence is available - and likewise, that Mob Justice is still a bad idea.
Imagine if people treated accusations of other crimes the same. "Mike claims Josh pointed a gun at him and threatened to kill him yesterday. Gosh, I'm sure he's just doing it for attention, or to get back at Josh."
@@kingacrisius - Except when it comes to rape, then all Western countries do. Even when this trend gets bucked in actual court, the court of Social opinion is out in force to ensure guilty until proven innocent - except it's more like Guilty because we said so. One of the greatest current examples of this is Vic Mignogna, his accusers are clearly full of BS, and even though he's sueing for defamation his reputation is ruined and new clearly BS allegations continue to surface.
@shogun harlem no, hon, very few accusations are false. It's more likely for someone to drop the case and say they weren't serious because they couldn't take the pressure than it is for them to actually lie.
"What were you wearing? A graphic tee? Oh, you should have known better. He didn't like it. He just couldn't control himself! You were asking for it with a shirt like that."
Hey guys, it's actually using satire to make a point that girls DONT just falsely accuse people of rape for fun or just a spur of the moment thing. Plus, it showed that women also suffer when they are brave enough to come forward.
Animated music videos Official, some girls I know did a sleep over trying to summon a demon with vape. Confusing teenagers being confusing. They are heavily religious too and not anti christian. Weird.
If you didn't get it, its the idea that a rape victim wouldn't go through so much: moving year long trials, ridicule, death threats etc. for a lie. Treating cases like actual cases and not victim blaming or claiming that "he/she's probably lying about rape" is so ignorant.
George Walser no they don't. They get called sluts and told they should've expected it. And if the guy is popular they get called liars trying to get attention
Support? There is no support of the community. Most of the comments are accusing the victim for lying. They tell stories about how the falsely accused won't be able to get a job, go to college anymore while disregarding the trauma of the actual rape victim. You must be insanely ignorant- or in fact live under a rock if you've never heard people say these.
Problem is the accuser doesn't need to have a proper case or even take it to court to cause damage to the person she choses to accuse. Even if the person is found not guilty there will still be lingering doubt and assumptions of the person. Who would want to associate with a potential rapist (even if the accuser seemingly has no ground in the accusation)?
Actually I realised this was from a thread where I went into much less detail about my stance on the issue. That short comment I made is a pretty misleading representation on my opinion on this as a whole. My reply doesn't mean much when all I really can do is refer to when I have said things (which you will never see) differing from your assumption of my opinions.
E Cannon no, the sad part is that women are trying to pretend that a man’s fear of women falsely accusing them is not logical. It’s also fucked up that she’s saying that a man being in prison or losing his career/education is equal to what the woman faces.
@@shinyguy1 it’s literally not logical though. statistically a man is more likely to experience rape than to be falsely accused of it. and since SIX PERCENT of all rape allegations are ever convicted, the possibility of being put in jail for a false accusation is EXTREMELY low. like EXTREMELY.
@@mqple5686 what you said is correct however even an accusation can mess up a mans record. There’s a decent amount of men who get kicked out of universities who don’t get convicted by the courts. It’s a complicated issue.
@@shinyguy1 okay and? false accusations of ANY kind can do that, allegations of being racist or homophobic can do that, etc. and it’s not limited to men. my point is that it definitely is illogical to be more fearful of false accusations than of other, likelier causes. false accusations are played up in the media and get a lot of attention, but in reality they aren’t common at all. i mean, most victims don’t even report their assault, and a measly 6% of the reported assaults face conviction...
+Coco Lime How is someone a rape apologist for accepting that there is social consequences for someone wrongly accused of rape even after they get proven not guilty in court? It doesn't have anything to do with actual rapists.
Saw your comment, making my reply: "Oh my gosh, same here... I'm not going to read any more comments". Sending it and clicking away without reading any other comments
For those that don't get it: The point of the sketch is that when someone makes a rape allegation, they're often harassed, bullied, and treated as a liar until they can prove with absolute certainty they WERE raped. As seen in the sketch, the process making the accusations, going to court, being seen as "slutty", being blamed for the rape, etc. are enough to make even the most vindictive, mean, and mentally unstable person think twice. Even if all women were so terrible as to think it's morally okay to falsely accuse a person of rape, only those as absolutely insane or naive as the main character would consider it. There is often a huge emotional, psychological, social, and economic impact on those making the allegations, not just the person accused. The percentage of false rape accusations is exceedingly low, yet rape victims are constantly treated with an unfair level of skepticism. Should we assume that a rape allegation is true without any evidence? No. But neither should we assume an allegation is false when, statistically speaking, it usually IS true.
So say a girl accuses a man of rape and he claims they never had any sexual interaction at all. Neither can provide proof. What then? Do we just throw the guy in prison just because "statistically speaking it usually IS true"? It used to be innocent until proven guilty but now it's you have to prove your innocent or the entire rest of your life is over. It would be less cruel to grab a shotgun and blow a guys head off than to falsely accuse him of rape. Both result in his life being over only the shotgun makes the suffering end right away whereas the other he has to live in agony for decades.
IRHasDiabetes911 Did I say that? Unfortunately rape can't always be proven, and no, of course we can't imprison someone for a crime without evidence. Sometimes there is no good answer. That does not, however, justify treating victims (or alleged victims) with the complete lack of empathy or respect that is often seen, which is what I was getting at.
Rachel Sun that's exactly why they should stop with the false suggestions. Because it ruins their life too, screw the victim's(the falsely accused) life.
Hello :D Yes, "they" (whoever "they" are) should stop. But the point is that "they" (people who falsely accuse of rape) are incredibly few and far between, and the majority are telling the truth. That being said, it can't always be proven, and we can't ever imprison on a "probably true." But acting with the assumption that someone is lying when they say they were raped is cruel.
Yet that's exactly what we also do with the man we treat them with complete apathy. You don't think the guy is getting sent death threats or being fired from his job before they even come to a verdict? Why is that side NEVER(as in never ever) shown? We treat men like they're not even human and that them suffering isn't an issue.
I kinda wish she included the part where she completely ruined the guy's life, including not getting a job or a girlfriend because she just decided to falsely accuse him
While some segments of the public are supportive this support is not universal. The skit covered some of the negative reactions and consequences rape victims can face up to and including death threats.
Something like six one-thousandths of a percent of rape accusations are false, taking into account that many rapes are unreported. From that 0.006%, most of those are false due to no rape occurring, but the victim was being abused (as in domestic violence), statutory rape of someone underage, or someone in those or similar situations withdrawing their accusation for various (usually not good) reasons. Then the rest are out and out, completely false.
I was raped by my ex boyfriend when I was drunk and even received a bruise on my face from him hitting me. it appalled me how many people still tried to rationalize how it was my fault and that I punched myself in the face.
AznYunHou If it were a black person saying that, it would be fine. Delivered right, it would be at once funny and sobering--just like the original line.
I was falsely accused of rape... so its a real thing... I never had sex with the girl and she spread the lie because I wouldn't date her. Ruined so many of my friendships with the people around me and people at school judged me. I became a pariah. Years later she made a public apology and told every person she told the lie to that it never happened, but by that time the damage was done. Never underestimate the limits of human stupidity and pettyiness.
Charles Reid as much as that shouldn't of happened most allegation assaults are true and Anna was getting the point across that they're not in abundance and it's not some casual joke or normal form of revenge that people just do.
アロイス Prince I don't think that's an important statistic. If somebody accuses somebody of a crime you don't say "There's a 85-96% chance they're telling the truth so you're guilty" That's literally against the 5th amendment. There's a fair trial based on evidence and reason; not because you think people aren't lying. You never take someone on their word. That's just the epitome of stupidity.
JoyfishXO no it didn't it provided a false narrative in which to trick it viewer to show sympathy on a person who intended to ruin man life and to that girl would never do such a thing but we know better
Odeangelo Manloco its satire. it shows that real victims wouldn't go through the trouble of falsely accusing someone of rape when it only brings negative effects to themselves and not the rapist, since so many people don't believe it when someone says that they've been assaulted.
That goes both ways. Women don't care about mens plight about false rapes and men don't care about womens plight about rapes. Neither side has any empathy whatsoever for the other side.
oh no no no, don't try to use that card. you literally said that since it doesn't happen as much it's not as big of a deal compared to rape. But it is, just in a different way: knowing how awful it is, accusing a good person of such an act is cruel and diabolic. It doesn't only do damage to the accused man, it also contributes to push the boundaries of disrespect even further, women exploiting the pain of others for their personal interest is another way to hurt the true victims again and again. Don't even get me started on the stigma imposed on those innocent man.you can't care about one and completely ignore the other. And to be honest the fact that you take it so lightly says a lot about what kind of equality you aspire to get, one where you only matter if there's enough of you.
so the ruined lives of men falsely accused of a terrible terrible crime they didn't commit don't count as much because there are more women suffering for what they are accused of? how can you fail to see that we are in the same boat? this can only help the idea of women using rape to get all the attention even when they are actual victims. it's not a small problem at all! what would those consequences be? the fair treatment of anyone who is a victim? the support to someone who is being hurt? the final proof that feminism is not a bunch of self entitled chicks who use it as an excuse to get advantages on man but actually care for everyone's safety and rights? oh yes, i can see how that's truly catastrophic. that said both things should be fought obviously, not just false accusation, in case you got that idea.
For anyone who is confused. Its satire, She is trying to show how crazy and it is for woman to make up these allegations especially when it would most likely only negatively affect her and not the perpetrator.
Yeah, it happens, but at a VERY low rate, and even then, there are MANY men who are KNOWN assaulters who life's are fine.The fact is people who do file rape charges are accused of files falsely and to "think about their life" and assume they are lying when...it's very likely they are telling the truth.
All I see in the comments are people commenting on how the people commenting are complaining so much that they can’t find the commenters that seemed to start all of this.
Hello :D nah dude people just dont realize the point. theyre focusing it on the truth behind false accusations. the point is that there is just way too much trouble to go through for an accusation & that it would be ridiculous if it was false. they're close to the point, but not there.
No there wouldn't be enough trouble. Even if the accusation happened on a social level. That alone would be enough to cause massive damage to the victim. Who wants to associate with a potential rapist?
The issue is that there are crazy people out there who don't consider or care about the fallout from a false accusation. So this sketch does very little to shake my skepticism towards accusations of rape that lack evidence. Yes it is unfortunate, yes it can be very hard to prove, but if you can't prove it, you should focus on recovery. Weakening or removing the current standard of evidence necessary to take successful legal action allows people to abuse the system and is a very unwise course of action as it could lead to a very drastic increase in false accusations. Though false accusations make up a small percentage now, if the system opens itself to abuse, that can change a lot very quickly.
@@sauceboss7165 2-5 percent of POTENTIALLY false allegations are hardly worth adding to the trauma of victims by asking them what they were wearing and if they were drinking
Caroline Arellano it’s subtle to me because usually people have such strong liberal agendas but they’re making fun of their agendas while making fun of the opposing side...not very common so it’s just very confusing to some people
For the people who think this is meant to shed light on women falsely accusing men of rape, you are sorely missing the point. And please don't use your anecdotal story about the one girl you know who falsely accused once as your proof. The rate of false accusations with rape is so statistically low, it's hardly worth discussing. But for some reason, this is all anyone ever wants to talk about. Seriously, research it yourself. This sketch is asking "Why would a woman falsely accuse rape for her own benefit when the outcomes are the exact opposite - the police not taking the accusation seriously to begin with, death threats, the litigation preventing her from having necessary time to apply to college, her reputation, etc.?" It's not about false accusations the way you think it is. But idk why I'm even engaging in this comment section. Rape apologists will tear this apart in a matter of seconds, but whatever
K L Even if its statistically low its not impossible. Therefore the law tries to make sure this isn't the cause by using presumption of innocence until proven other wise so no the law won't just kill a man accused of rape because there is a chance he is innocent and as a result his innocence needs to be accounted for
You can find statistics for that, as in successful lies? I thought the vast majority would fall into the "don't know" category and only the stupidest people would get caught. I have personal experience with this and from that I would say when it's happens it comes from someone going through a crazy emotional time and isn't cold and calculated like a car insurance scam. I'd say it's probably worth consider that it is possible, and also to review the method behind those stats. I'm also not sure about commenting, will anything productive come of it, will it upset you, will I be put into one of two sides (that's never good), should youtube be left to drown in a sea of spam? Anyway, chill.
K L i agree with you but no matter how small it still should be worth discussing. how dare you practically say since its not as often its not worth talking about
+Animie Watcher but the law shouldn't assume innocence, they should be neutral. It is just like abuse cases with children, they often assume the adult is innocent & want the child, who does often not have the words, experience, or emotional maturity to explain the details of their abuse...So many kids get handed back to their abusers & have negative consequences from being brave & speaking out, just like a lot of adult rape victims.
can't believe the number of comments I had to scroll past saying just that - the anecdotal story about the one false rape allegation. thanks for taking the time to post.
So if you use that logic then absolutely EVERY woman that claims rape must be 100% telling the truth??? Because no woman would go through all that for no reason??? However, women are NEVER EVER EVER EVER identified in rape cases, but the accused man ALWAYS IS!! No matter if he is innocent or guilty he has absolutely ZERO chance of remaining annonomus! So what does the woman actually RISK by making a false claim??? If she was a good enough liar the guy WILL get locked up!! And if SHE was proved to be LYING she will STILL NOT BE IDENTIFIED!!! (and probably will NOT get locked up) Lets face it, to make a FALSE rape claim the woman isn't really RISKING MUCH!! But the innocent man get absolutely destroyed EVERY TIME!!
Liber 8 not really. I agree that women making false claims is extremely horrible, but everyone living close to the girl as in other members of a society knows the she was raped, and here being raped is somehow the girls fault, her wearing short and tight clothes like jeans, her working out of the house, you name any bullshit reason and it will be considered as the cause of her getting raped. Also it tampers with the chance of her ever being married. On top of this if she's lying she has just fucked her entire reputation.
that its ridiculous people would assume women are falsely accusing people of rape, because look at what happens when they do. Why would someone put themselves through that unecessarily. Its also a dig at how women are treated after reporting rape. Their whole life changes, they are often forced to move and start a new life (and what she says about her dad breaks my heart but its a problem people do face).
TheUndeadPrincess Even if it is ridiculous it still happens. Which why the justice system tries to be fair to both parties by assuming the accused is innocent until proven guilty. This doesn't only apply to rape it applies to every aspect of the law so idk why feminists act up when the law tries to find out if a woman is lying about getting raped it may be mean to those who are actually rapes but necessary to separate those from the liars and yes there are many liars
Most people are not that vindictive, so the vast majority of cases are real, and that does not change that the response to sexual assault by the greater society is oftentimes wildly inappropriate and demeaning.
That is a good argument that campaigns against rape should get 45.5 times the time, money, and effort that campaigns against false accusations get. Nevertheless, we can and should walk and chew bubble gum at the same time.
Paul Idson So Scrabble rules, basically? Should we do the same thing for other crimes? What about for stealing? Murder? Kidnapping? If someone falsely accuses you of committing a serious war crime, should they be sent to Gitmo as punishment?
According to most peer reviewed studies, no. The 2006 Rumney review of studies found that false accusations can be as high as 40%, but this really needs to be broken into two areas, people who go to the police with a true study that claims it was rape and people who lie about the story of rape. A large percent of people who go to the police with claims of rape and a true story are told that what happen does not count as rape. Getting drunk and willingly having sex does not count as rape. Someone lying about there feelings to get sex does not make that sex rape, when you find the truth. Malicious claims of rape from a 1999 study was at 10.9% of claims. Much like rape, false accusations of rape are hard to prove, which is why you can get such low numbers. Australia's 2006 study found that 2.1% of rape accusations were charged or threatened with charges for filing a false police report, but that does not mean 2.1% of rape accusations where false. Just the same way that just because you don't get changed with a rape, doesn't mean you are not a rapist. A 2010 study of college rapes found that 6% where proven false in the investigation. That does not mean only 6% where false, just that 6% where demonstrably false. Just in the same way that just because 7% of rapes are proven in court does not mean 93% are false. The vast majority of rape accusations can not be prove either true or false because it is generally one person claiming one thing and the other person claiming another.
So at least half of the comments are along the lines of: "But false accusations DO happen!" "This girl one time ruined my cousin's life by lying about rape." *Pulling statistics of false rape accusations out of their asses* Congratulations to those people: this sketch went right over your head.
This sketch was making fun of rape apologists, so naturally they won't get it, since they're the butt of this joke. We could jump to the conclusion that all rape apologists are secretly rapists, just as they assume when someone accuses another of rape they must be lying, but then we'd be just like them.
I love the double message here. Both sides of 'rape scandals' are depicted so perfectly. There are women out there who DO falsely accuse people of rape, just for revenge or kicks or whatever else. But the women who do step up when they have actually been assaulted don't get the justice they deserve. *For those saying that women don't lie about it at all, I have had a friend lie to me in the past about being raped. She didn't like her ex and was also a compulsive liar. She had loads of other emotional issues, so I don't necessarily fault her for lying about it. She was very troubled, and my heart still hurts for her. But she told more than just myself this lie, and eventually told me the truth later on. While I do not think women /often/ lie, and I always believe them before I disbelieve them, sometimes, it does happen. Which is not fair to the many who struggle to come forward in the first place due to the repercussions they face when/if they do.
Glad you actually see it that way. I hope the creator meant for it to be seen that way as well. Because most of these commentors here can't seem to get behind the idea that women lie sometimes.
While I don't think this happens as often, it truly does happen. Which, I think, makes it even harder than it already is for women to step up without people thinking she may be lying.
Joey Rae Really well said, you put into words some of my thoughts on the matter,a subject thats hard to address sometimes. Smart sketch from Anna and friends too.
Lyrics 4Life We all knew Melanie was innocent since the beginning. There are still Timothy Fans right now that exist who support her and believe what ever she says even if it doesn't match up... but what I like to say is the date of when it happend doesn't matter. Only two people actually know what happend.
For those confused: I'm pretty sure this is a satire about how ridiculous it is that a lot of people genuinely think girls falsely accuse guys of raping them for fun/the attention.
@FinalEvilElpis Yes, it happens. Thanks for informing me. A lot of things happen that are in a very slim percentage. I'll let everyone do the numbers themselves.
George Walser do you actually want to debate? Cause if you do I'm totally willing but first you may want to find some reliable evidence that didn't come from someone who thinks building a wall is the best way to defend themselves
I was sexually abused and everyone thought I was making it up. Who in their right mind would think I made it up, no one can be that desperate, I mean it practically ruined a lot for me. I was put in a really hard situation. This sketch is very accurate, and people who think this sketch is about women falsely accusing people, the meaning obviously went straight over your head.
I personally feel that the sketch has several messages that a lot of people are missing. The main point being that accusing someone of rape comes with severe consequences and stigma for the accuser, so why are so many women thought to be lying and just doing it for attention when they report being raped; it's risky to make a claim like that, even if its true. However, by highlighting the consequences of rape accusations, it also discourages people from falsely accusing by showing that it isn't a joke and can ruin a life and is not funny at all. And of course it brings up victim blaming as well.
DreamCatcherX No, Title 9 is about sexual discrimination, harrassment, and assault. The only part that has to do with government financial assistance is that the government will pull funding if they believe the school is not properly preventing/punishing said crimes. This however, has lead to a kangaroo court system set up in colleges which does not hold to the burdens of proof necessary in civil and federal court cases. Accused are automatically suspended while an "investigation" read witch hunt, takes place. There have been many high profile cases where false rape allegations have destroyed people's lives while the accuser goes unpunished.
i just want to say, for those people who try to defend rapists by saying "they ware wearing provocative clothing" or "their skirt was so short, they ware basically asking for it" you're defending a criminal and if they didn't consent to it, it was rape. These victims may be forever changed by the actions of this offender. Also it doesn't matter if you're a man, woman, non binary, gender fluid or child, anyone can be a victim and anyone can be an offender. Again to the people who defend rapists by pointing out what someone was wearing, i have one question, was my nightdress too short?
Random Person i respect other people and their views, like an opinion is an opinion but ffs, people are left traumatised after rape, they feel dirty and usless, some get physically abused, verbally and emotionally abuse and thats not an opinion, thats fact, its fact that rape is wrong, its fact that it is no one elses fault other than the person who committed the crime, stop defending rapists and justifying their actions because the person looked "slutty" at the time, jfc
Good point. No one will lie and affect their own life, but people lies, and people take chances. My point: just words(= on solid evidence) doesn't make some one guilty.
Doesn't show the male side of the same story though. While yes, a false accusation will backfire on the accuser for a loong time afterwards, the ramifications on the accused are harsh as well. Until the ruling, he/she will be viewed as scum and a predator. Loss of friends and/or family, most likely will lose his/her job. Will struggle to find a job later, as they were involved in a rape case. Outcome is less important, their implied sexual offense matters a lot. With social media the way it is today, perception can weigh as much, if not more, than actual evidence.
Really? It ONLY affects their own life? Are you sure about that? FALSELY accusing someone of rape would only, in any way, affect the accuser? Ok. Ok. That makes sense.
Just...FYI...only about 2-8 percent of sexual assault allegations are false. We really need to be focusing on the 98-92 percent that aren't instead of the other way around. Which is what I see happening in the comments. Even though this sketch is pretty clear with it's intention, it's definitely gone over people's heads. (P.S. Men are statistically more likely to be assaulted than falsely accused of assault. Since there's so many fans of statistics down here. www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/12/08/false-rape-accusations_n_6290380.html )
So all social science is just agenda and we shouldn't even attempt to get hard numbers on these issues? Also, people are asking for statistics but are willing to discredit them when it doesn't align with their beliefs.
hi yes it is but the lives of these people are affected very negatively, they loose their jobs, friends, family we should not be concentraiting more on any half but on both people should be punished for false accusations
+Poke Slowpoke Given over 90 percent of accusations aren't false yet a majority of the perpetrators never face any negative consequences, I would definitely say we need to focus on one side more than the other.
some topics are too close to some peoples lives to be funny, regardless of how it's played. The script was good I get the premise but I didnt find it amusing just misplaced.
I hope you don't get disheartened by some of the idiocy in the comments Anna, some people don't understand, but hopefully the amount of these people are dramatically declining, this is a brilliant message you showed in a really creative and funny way! Love your videos Anna. Xx
Oh yes the answer to portraying a really serious issue is by using another completely serious issue, but make the whole thing as if it was a joke like it doesn't happen. BOTH RAPE AND FALSE ACCUSATIONS ARE WRONG. You Amy are part of the problem
"Innocent till proven guilty" im not even gonna pick a side in this argument but i feel like regardless of what side of the argument you are in this line must stay the same and must be applicable in each situ
this sketch shows how hard it is for someone accusing another of rape. we obviously don’t feel sorry for this girl because she falsely accuses someone else of rape, but this sketch conveys an image that if it’s hard for someone to succeed in convicting someone of rape, then it’s even harder for real victims, and it shows that false rape accusers make it that much harder for a rape victim to ever convict their rapist.
The sad thing about this is that most people won't even get it.
Not exactly rocket science
It's not meant to be funny, it's meant to highlight the biggest issue, which is victim blaming. Yes, they used a different, also serious issue, to highlight it, but that's not the message. No need to get aggressive.
Please read up on this. "Who blames victims for rape?" Well the majority of society does. We all remember Brock Turner right? If a girl reports a rape, as illustrated in this sketch, it's not taken seriously. She'll more likely face consequences of "ruining someone's life" and will be blamed for being selfish. When reporting a case, will be asked questions like "were you intoxicated", "what were you wearing?", "did you provoke them?". It's a problem, that's the point of this sketch.
Brock Turner is a bad example. He didn't get away with it because he's male (or even white, really). He got away with it because he's affluent. Even if not convicted, a false rape accusation can and will ruin your life and destroy your reputation if the accuser's social status is higher than yours. Oh, but wait, that never happens, right.

Likewise, there are cases where it was proven (beyond reasonable doubt) that someone made a false rape accusation for whatever reason at the time - I still believe that something should also be only prosecuted or treated as a false accusation after the court case or at least when the evidence is available - and likewise, that Mob Justice is still a bad idea.
Imagine if people treated accusations of other crimes the same.
"Mike claims Josh pointed a gun at him and threatened to kill him yesterday. Gosh, I'm sure he's just doing it for attention, or to get back at Josh."
Well, any sane and rational person would demand backup for these kinds of claims
@@kingacrisius - Except when it comes to rape, then all Western countries do. Even when this trend gets bucked in actual court, the court of Social opinion is out in force to ensure guilty until proven innocent - except it's more like Guilty because we said so.
One of the greatest current examples of this is Vic Mignogna, his accusers are clearly full of BS, and even though he's sueing for defamation his reputation is ruined and new clearly BS allegations continue to surface.
@shogun harlem no, hon, very few accusations are false. It's more likely for someone to drop the case and say they weren't serious because they couldn't take the pressure than it is for them to actually lie.
"What were you wearing? A graphic tee? Oh, you should have known better. He didn't like it. He just couldn't control himself! You were asking for it with a shirt like that."
@shogun harlem not really, no.
Hey guys, it's actually using satire to make a point that girls DONT just falsely accuse people of rape for fun or just a spur of the moment thing. Plus, it showed that women also suffer when they are brave enough to come forward.
No, but it's a great way to get revenge and attention.

Thumbs up! Na donishke.
seriously, what was the point?
+Brad Gage Comedy I know, right? I mean, like, some people just don't get it. You guys are sooo bad!
If you didn't get it, its the idea that a rape victim wouldn't go through so much: moving year long trials, ridicule, death threats etc. for a lie. Treating cases like actual cases and not victim blaming or claiming that "he/she's probably lying about rape" is so ignorant.
Brian Banks.
YOU are the ignorant one.
Enough said.
George Walser no they don't. They get called sluts and told they should've expected it. And if the guy is popular they get called liars trying to get attention
Support? There is no support of the community. Most of the comments are accusing the victim for lying. They tell stories about how the falsely accused won't be able to get a job, go to college anymore while disregarding the trauma of the actual rape victim.
You must be insanely ignorant- or in fact live under a rock if you've never heard people say these.
Problem is the accuser doesn't need to have a proper case or even take it to court to cause damage to the person she choses to accuse. Even if the person is found not guilty there will still be lingering doubt and assumptions of the person. Who would want to associate with a potential rapist (even if the accuser seemingly has no ground in the accusation)?
Actually I realised this was from a thread where I went into much less detail about my stance on the issue. That short comment I made is a pretty misleading representation on my opinion on this as a whole. My reply doesn't mean much when all I really can do is refer to when I have said things (which you will never see) differing from your assumption of my opinions.
Me: Truth or Dareee

The saddest part about this is how many people clearly missed the point.
E Cannon no, the sad part is that women are trying to pretend that a man’s fear of women falsely accusing them is not logical. It’s also fucked up that she’s saying that a man being in prison or losing his career/education is equal to what the woman faces.
Ten thousand of them 🤦♀️ including this guy
@@shinyguy1 it’s literally not logical though. statistically a man is more likely to experience rape than to be falsely accused of it. and since SIX PERCENT of all rape allegations are ever convicted, the possibility of being put in jail for a false accusation is EXTREMELY low. like EXTREMELY.
@@mqple5686 what you said is correct however even an accusation can mess up a mans record. There’s a decent amount of men who get kicked out of universities who don’t get convicted by the courts. It’s a complicated issue.
@@shinyguy1 okay and? false accusations of ANY kind can do that, allegations of being racist or homophobic can do that, etc. and it’s not limited to men. my point is that it definitely is illogical to be more fearful of false accusations than of other, likelier causes. false accusations are played up in the media and get a lot of attention, but in reality they aren’t common at all. i mean, most victims don’t even report their assault, and a measly 6% of the reported assaults face conviction...
I'm scared to look at the comments tbh
Female Supremacist? Lol.
lol, like look at this guy
+Coco Lime How is someone a rape apologist for accepting that there is social consequences for someone wrongly accused of rape even after they get proven not guilty in court? It doesn't have anything to do with actual rapists.

Do you believe that a rape victim is innocent until proven guilty in a court of law?

For those that don't get it: The point of the sketch is that when someone makes a rape allegation, they're often harassed, bullied, and treated as a liar until they can prove with absolute certainty they WERE raped. As seen in the sketch, the process making the accusations, going to court, being seen as "slutty", being blamed for the rape, etc. are enough to make even the most vindictive, mean, and mentally unstable person think twice. Even if all women were so terrible as to think it's morally okay to falsely accuse a person of rape, only those as absolutely insane or naive as the main character would consider it.
There is often a huge emotional, psychological, social, and economic impact on those making the allegations, not just the person accused. The percentage of false rape accusations is exceedingly low, yet rape victims are constantly treated with an unfair level of skepticism. Should we assume that a rape allegation is true without any evidence? No. But neither should we assume an allegation is false when, statistically speaking, it usually IS true.
So say a girl accuses a man of rape and he claims they never had any sexual interaction at all. Neither can provide proof.
What then? Do we just throw the guy in prison just because "statistically speaking it usually IS true"?
It used to be innocent until proven guilty but now it's you have to prove your innocent or the entire rest of your life is over.
It would be less cruel to grab a shotgun and blow a guys head off than to falsely accuse him of rape. Both result in his life being over only the shotgun makes the suffering end right away whereas the other he has to live in agony for decades.
IRHasDiabetes911 Did I say that? Unfortunately rape can't always be proven, and no, of course we can't imprison someone for a crime without evidence. Sometimes there is no good answer. That does not, however, justify treating victims (or alleged victims) with the complete lack of empathy or respect that is often seen, which is what I was getting at.
Rachel Sun that's exactly why they should stop with the false suggestions. Because it ruins their life too, screw the victim's(the falsely accused) life.
Hello :D Yes, "they" (whoever "they" are) should stop. But the point is that "they" (people who falsely accuse of rape) are incredibly few and far between, and the majority are telling the truth. That being said, it can't always be proven, and we can't ever imprison on a "probably true." But acting with the assumption that someone is lying when they say they were raped is cruel.
Yet that's exactly what we also do with the man we treat them with complete apathy. You don't think the guy is getting sent death threats or being fired from his job before they even come to a verdict? Why is that side NEVER(as in never ever) shown? We treat men like they're not even human and that them suffering isn't an issue.

she's saying, "why would females falsely accuse males of sexual assault? look at JUST the social consequences of being a rape-victim."
While some segments of the public are supportive this support is not universal. The skit covered some of the negative reactions and consequences rape victims can face up to and including death threats.
...and did not mention that some of the negative reactions and consequences the falsely accused can face up to and including murder.
Solomon Kincheloe I hope everyone sees this comment
yeah, but how do you find evidence for rape?
Something like six one-thousandths of a percent of rape accusations are false, taking into account that many rapes are unreported. From that 0.006%, most of those are false due to no rape occurring, but the victim was being abused (as in domestic violence), statutory rape of someone underage, or someone in those or similar situations withdrawing their accusation for various (usually not good) reasons. Then the rest are out and out, completely false.
Most of the comments are saying how bad the rest of the comments are so I can't find what people are saying :(

I was falsely accused of rape... so its a real thing...
I never had sex with the girl and she spread the lie because I wouldn't date her. Ruined so many of my friendships with the people around me and people at school judged me. I became a pariah. Years later she made a public apology and told every person she told the lie to that it never happened, but by that time the damage was done.
Never underestimate the limits of human stupidity and pettyiness.
Charles Reid at least people thought you got some for awhile
Charles Reid as much as that shouldn't of happened most allegation assaults are true and Anna was getting the point across that they're not in abundance and it's not some casual joke or normal form of revenge that people just do.
アロイス Prince well that's debatable since tons of claims are just posted on twitter saying he did this to me 20 years ago or whatever
#metoo
what town do you live in i wanna look up the story
アロイス Prince I don't think that's an important statistic. If somebody accuses somebody of a crime you don't say "There's a 85-96% chance they're telling the truth so you're guilty" That's literally against the 5th amendment. There's a fair trial based on evidence and reason; not because you think people aren't lying. You never take someone on their word. That's just the epitome of stupidity.

JoyfishXO why? To encourage women to make false rape accusations? Such disrespect to actual rape victims
Jael Ayala however, the commentary made on the process brought up important issues. I interpreted the dare as more satirical
JoyfishXO no it didn't it provided a false narrative in which to trick it viewer to show sympathy on a person who intended to ruin man life and to that girl would never do such a thing but we know better
Odeangelo Manloco its satire. it shows that real victims wouldn't go through the trouble of falsely accusing someone of rape when it only brings negative effects to themselves and not the rapist, since so many people don't believe it when someone says that they've been assaulted.
Sadly, those who should get it simply don't care.
That goes both ways. Women don't care about mens plight about false rapes and men don't care about womens plight about rapes.
Neither side has any empathy whatsoever for the other side.
+FriedFace A man who spends five years in prison for what is later proven to be a false accusation is not worth sympathy?
+FriedFace Such vindication and spite. I hope one day you open your heart up to something other than hate.
oh no no no, don't try to use that card. you literally said that since it doesn't happen as much it's not as big of a deal compared to rape. But it is, just in a different way: knowing how awful it is, accusing a good person of such an act is cruel and diabolic. It doesn't only do damage to the accused man, it also contributes to push the boundaries of disrespect even further, women exploiting the pain of others for their personal interest is another way to hurt the true victims again and again. Don't even get me started on the stigma imposed on those innocent man.you can't care about one and completely ignore the other. And to be honest the fact that you take it so lightly says a lot about what kind of equality you aspire to get, one where you only matter if there's enough of you.
so the ruined lives of men falsely accused of a terrible terrible crime they didn't commit don't count as much because there are more women suffering for what they are accused of? how can you fail to see that we are in the same boat? this can only help the idea of women using rape to get all the attention even when they are actual victims. it's not a small problem at all! what would those consequences be? the fair treatment of anyone who is a victim? the support to someone who is being hurt? the final proof that feminism is not a bunch of self entitled chicks who use it as an excuse to get advantages on man but actually care for everyone's safety and rights? oh yes, i can see how that's truly catastrophic. that said both things should be fought obviously, not just false accusation, in case you got that idea.
For anyone who is confused. Its satire, She is trying to show how crazy and it is for woman to make up these allegations especially when it would most likely only negatively affect her and not the perpetrator.
Theerinkayla but it does happen. women falsely accuse men of rape. And it can ruin that man's life.
Yeah, it happens, but at a VERY low rate, and even then, there are MANY men who are KNOWN assaulters who life's are fine.The fact is people who do file rape charges are accused of files falsely and to "think about their life" and assume they are lying when...it's very likely they are telling the truth.
What do you mean it only affects them? If a woman falsely accuses a man of rape, it could ruin his life.
yeah, some monsters get away, but this "VERY VERY LOW" rate just isn't true. it happens a lot more often than you'd think
Oh, I thought it was a joke about how unlikely it is to actually get justice against college athletes. Your explanation makes more sense though.
All I see in the comments are people commenting on how the people commenting are complaining so much that they can’t find the commenters that seemed to start all of this.
Sameeeeeeee. But technically by commenting that you're adding on to it 😂
why is everyone missing the point of the sketch
Leslie M. Because it isn't very good? If it was, now people wouldn't be missing the "point".
Hello :D nah dude people just dont realize the point. theyre focusing it on the truth behind false accusations. the point is that there is just way too much trouble to go through for an accusation & that it would be ridiculous if it was false. they're close to the point, but not there.
No there wouldn't be enough trouble. Even if the accusation happened on a social level. That alone would be enough to cause massive damage to the victim. Who wants to associate with a potential rapist?
It absolutely is good, Hello :D. It's just that you need to think a little bit to get the deeper meaning.
The issue is that there are crazy people out there who don't consider or care about the fallout from a false accusation. So this sketch does very little to shake my skepticism towards accusations of rape that lack evidence. Yes it is unfortunate, yes it can be very hard to prove, but if you can't prove it, you should focus on recovery. Weakening or removing the current standard of evidence necessary to take successful legal action allows people to abuse the system and is a very unwise course of action as it could lead to a very drastic increase in false accusations. Though false accusations make up a small percentage now, if the system opens itself to abuse, that can change a lot very quickly.
It’s so sad how communities see rape
innocent until proven guilty
also the amount of false rape claims made make the cops have to second guess everything
@@sauceboss7165 men are statistically more likely to be raped than to be falsely accused of rape
@@sauceboss7165 2-5 percent of POTENTIALLY false allegations are hardly worth adding to the trauma of victims by asking them what they were wearing and if they were drinking
This wasn't subtle at all but somehow it's still too subtle.
genericfirstname it's subtle because some people don't get the message

For the people who think this is meant to shed light on women falsely accusing men of rape, you are sorely missing the point. And please don't use your anecdotal story about the one girl you know who falsely accused once as your proof. The rate of false accusations with rape is so statistically low, it's hardly worth discussing. But for some reason, this is all anyone ever wants to talk about. Seriously, research it yourself. This sketch is asking "Why would a woman falsely accuse rape for her own benefit when the outcomes are the exact opposite - the police not taking the accusation seriously to begin with, death threats, the litigation preventing her from having necessary time to apply to college, her reputation, etc.?" It's not about false accusations the way you think it is. But idk why I'm even engaging in this comment section. Rape apologists will tear this apart in a matter of seconds, but whatever
K L Even if its statistically low its not impossible. Therefore the law tries to make sure this isn't the cause by using presumption of innocence until proven other wise so no the law won't just kill a man accused of rape because there is a chance he is innocent and as a result his innocence needs to be accounted for
You can find statistics for that, as in successful lies? I thought the vast majority would fall into the "don't know" category and only the stupidest people would get caught. I have personal experience with this and from that I would say when it's happens it comes from someone going through a crazy emotional time and isn't cold and calculated like a car insurance scam. I'd say it's probably worth consider that it is possible, and also to review the method behind those stats. I'm also not sure about commenting, will anything productive come of it, will it upset you, will I be put into one of two sides (that's never good), should youtube be left to drown in a sea of spam? Anyway, chill.
K L i agree with you but no matter how small it still should be worth discussing.
how dare you practically say since its not as often its not worth talking about
+Animie Watcher but the law shouldn't assume innocence, they should be neutral.
It is just like abuse cases with children, they often assume the adult is innocent & want the child, who does often not have the words, experience, or emotional maturity to explain the details of their abuse...So many kids get handed back to their abusers & have negative consequences from being brave & speaking out, just like a lot of adult rape victims.
can't believe the number of comments I had to scroll past saying just that - the anecdotal story about the one false rape allegation. thanks for taking the time to post.
damn she was committed to that dare, but also great message
mr sir I don't get the message..
FoxFire Artist Ignorance is the reason why you don't get it
FoxFire Artist its ironic, a rape victim wouldnt got through that much to just "get back" at someone.
So if you use that logic then absolutely EVERY woman that claims rape must be 100% telling the truth???
Because no woman would go through all that for no reason???
However, women are NEVER EVER EVER EVER identified in rape cases, but the accused man ALWAYS IS!!
No matter if he is innocent or guilty he has absolutely ZERO chance of remaining annonomus!
So what does the woman actually RISK by making a false claim???
If she was a good enough liar the guy WILL get locked up!!
And if SHE was proved to be LYING she will STILL NOT BE IDENTIFIED!!! (and probably will NOT get locked up)
Lets face it, to make a FALSE rape claim the woman isn't really RISKING MUCH!!
But the innocent man get absolutely destroyed EVERY TIME!!
Liber 8 not really. I agree that women making false claims is extremely horrible, but everyone living close to the girl as in other members of a society knows the she was raped, and here being raped is somehow the girls fault, her wearing short and tight clothes like jeans, her working out of the house, you name any bullshit reason and it will be considered as the cause of her getting raped. Also it tampers with the chance of her ever being married. On top of this if she's lying she has just fucked her entire reputation.
the meaning behind this is just spot on and its amazing what ways you can put points across
I don't get it ?? can you explain
That MOST women wouldn't falsely accuse someone of rape because even being the victim will have repercussions.
that its ridiculous people would assume women are falsely accusing people of rape, because look at what happens when they do. Why would someone put themselves through that unecessarily. Its also a dig at how women are treated after reporting rape. Their whole life changes, they are often forced to move and start a new life (and what she says about her dad breaks my heart but its a problem people do face).
TheUndeadPrincess Even if it is ridiculous it still happens. Which why the justice system tries to be fair to both parties by assuming the accused is innocent until proven guilty. This doesn't only apply to rape it applies to every aspect of the law so idk why feminists act up when the law tries to find out if a woman is lying about getting raped it may be mean to those who are actually rapes but necessary to separate those from the liars and yes there are many liars
Most people are not that vindictive, so the vast majority of cases are real, and that does not change that the response to sexual assault by the greater society is oftentimes wildly inappropriate and demeaning.
im just gonna comment that there's Gabby and Allison

2/100 are false accusations
7/100 get their rapist jailed.
The remaining 91 recieve zero short or long term consequences.
That is a good argument that campaigns against rape should get 45.5 times the time, money, and effort that campaigns against false accusations get. Nevertheless, we can and should walk and chew bubble gum at the same time.
Paul Idson So Scrabble rules, basically? Should we do the same thing for other crimes? What about for stealing? Murder? Kidnapping? If someone falsely accuses you of committing a serious war crime, should they be sent to Gitmo as punishment?
According to most peer reviewed studies, no. The 2006 Rumney review of studies found that false accusations can be as high as 40%, but this really needs to be broken into two areas, people who go to the police with a true study that claims it was rape and people who lie about the story of rape. A large percent of people who go to the police with claims of rape and a true story are told that what happen does not count as rape. Getting drunk and willingly having sex does not count as rape. Someone lying about there feelings to get sex does not make that sex rape, when you find the truth. Malicious claims of rape from a 1999 study was at 10.9% of claims.
Much like rape, false accusations of rape are hard to prove, which is why you can get such low numbers. Australia's 2006 study found that 2.1% of rape accusations were charged or threatened with charges for filing a false police report, but that does not mean 2.1% of rape accusations where false. Just the same way that just because you don't get changed with a rape, doesn't mean you are not a rapist. A 2010 study of college rapes found that 6% where proven false in the investigation. That does not mean only 6% where false, just that 6% where demonstrably false. Just in the same way that just because 7% of rapes are proven in court does not mean 93% are false. The vast majority of rape accusations can not be prove either true or false because it is generally one person claiming one thing and the other person claiming another.

Congratulations to those people: this sketch went right over your head.
huge argument there
This sketch was making fun of rape apologists, so naturally they won't get it, since they're the butt of this joke. We could jump to the conclusion that all rape apologists are secretly rapists, just as they assume when someone accuses another of rape they must be lying, but then we'd be just like them.
I love you
Coco Lime yay lets just assume they are fake
like how some people assume all rape accusations are fake right off the bat
Mc FruityBooty I mean, the criminal justice system is supposed to begin with a presumption of innocence.
I love the double message here. Both sides of 'rape scandals' are depicted so perfectly. There are women out there who DO falsely accuse people of rape, just for revenge or kicks or whatever else. But the women who do step up when they have actually been assaulted don't get the justice they deserve.
*For those saying that women don't lie about it at all,
I have had a friend lie to me in the past about being raped. She didn't like her ex and was also a compulsive liar. She had loads of other emotional issues, so I don't necessarily fault her for lying about it. She was very troubled, and my heart still hurts for her. But she told more than just myself this lie, and eventually told me the truth later on.
While I do not think women /often/ lie, and I always believe them before I disbelieve them, sometimes, it does happen. Which is not fair to the many who struggle to come forward in the first place due to the repercussions they face when/if they do.
Glad you actually see it that way. I hope the creator meant for it to be seen that way as well. Because most of these commentors here can't seem to get behind the idea that women lie sometimes.
While I don't think this happens as often, it truly does happen. Which, I think, makes it even harder than it already is for women to step up without people thinking she may be lying.
I saw it as a single sided message that was poorly written because it missed the opportunity to make a double message.
I think it gives two messages and I like both of them
Joey Rae Really well said, you put into words some of my thoughts on the matter,a subject thats hard to address sometimes. Smart sketch from Anna and friends too.
This sketch was brilliant. I am pleased that so many people understood the sketch. I am disappointed in how many people didn't understand the sketch.
Please read this Wikipedia article to understand why rape can never be funny or satire: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rape_paralysis
How did I find this...I was looking into the Melanie Martinez rape thing and I wind up watching this
Same thing happend to me ;-;
Alix the potato • 3 • btw she lied she made the whole thing up Yayyy Melanie is innocent
Lyrics 4Life We all knew Melanie was innocent since the beginning. There are still Timothy Fans right now that exist who support her and believe what ever she says even if it doesn't match up... but what I like to say is the date of when it happend doesn't matter. Only two people actually know what happend.
How does it not match up tho...
Go look up the incident and you will find out why.
For those confused: I'm pretty sure this is a satire about how ridiculous it is that a lot of people genuinely think girls falsely accuse guys of raping them for fun/the attention.
Tim de Vries it's satire.
It does happen though.
and when false accusations do happen i doubt it would be for fun/attention. more like revenge and regret
Tim de Vries have you ever heard of satire?
@FinalEvilElpis Yes, it happens. Thanks for informing me. A lot of things happen that are in a very slim percentage. I'll let everyone do the numbers themselves.
so many people don't understand this oh my god
I know, it's horrifying
You are not allowed to do satire...don't you get it. You must yell at people and shove your feelings down peoples throats...ughhh.
Paul Idson I agree
Horrifying and sad really.
I honestly think this is so awesome.
I'm scared if the comment section though, I'm sure a lot of people missed the point :(
They didn't miss the point, they argue the point is wrong.
all of the details are spot on just like the reality & it's so sad
Incorrect sentence structure. Five points have been removed from your comment's grade.

***** sure whatever you say
George Walser do you actually want to debate? Cause if you do I'm totally willing but first you may want to find some reliable evidence that didn't come from someone who thinks building a wall is the best way to defend themselves
WARNING: For the love of god(or whatevs floats your boat)
Do not further your excursion in the comments section.
its ryza's show Thanks for the warning lmao
its ryza's show I will.....i will
its ryza's show thanks
BUT I WANNA
Omg its ryza's show ur profile looks like tiffany from bunk'd anyone doest she look like tiffany 😮😂
A bunch of comments are saying that they shouldn't have looked at the comment section but all I see is those comments.
That is probably the longest truth or dare game I've seen
I was sexually abused and everyone thought I was making it up. Who in their right mind would think I made it up, no one can be that desperate, I mean it practically ruined a lot for me. I was put in a really hard situation. This sketch is very accurate, and people who think this sketch is about women falsely accusing people, the meaning obviously went straight over your head.
You're so right. I was sexually assaulted too. Even needed surgery. Why people didn't believe me? Because I'm a man, and the perpetrators were women.
Really appropriate username Unicorn Shithead
Eamonn Moroney , Why does the username matter?
People can be that fucked up. For every smart, sensitive, honerable, moral person, there's somebody of the opposite.
Unicorn Shithead actually, a lot of people CAN be that desperate and ARE that desperate
I personally feel that the sketch has several messages that a lot of people are missing. The main point being that accusing someone of rape comes with severe consequences and stigma for the accuser, so why are so many women thought to be lying and just doing it for attention when they report being raped; it's risky to make a claim like that, even if its true. However, by highlighting the consequences of rape accusations, it also discourages people from falsely accusing by showing that it isn't a joke and can ruin a life and is not funny at all. And of course it brings up victim blaming as well.

It's so important to make videos like this, well done, Anna, thank you! :)
1:43 how I pick up the phone when my bestie call😂
This is the best anti-title 9 ad that could ever be made.
DreamCatcherX No, Title 9 is about sexual discrimination, harrassment, and assault. The only part that has to do with government financial assistance is that the government will pull funding if they believe the school is not properly preventing/punishing said crimes. This however, has lead to a kangaroo court system set up in colleges which does not hold to the burdens of proof necessary in civil and federal court cases. Accused are automatically suspended while an "investigation" read witch hunt, takes place. There have been many high profile cases where false rape allegations have destroyed people's lives while the accuser goes unpunished.
Dude, I think you missed the point
Does anyone else know who Todd Packer from the Office is? It makes this kind of ironic.

i just want to say, for those people who try to defend rapists by saying "they ware wearing provocative clothing" or "their skirt was so short, they ware basically asking for it" you're defending a criminal and if they didn't consent to it, it was rape. These victims may be forever changed by the actions of this offender. Also it doesn't matter if you're a man, woman, non binary, gender fluid or child, anyone can be a victim and anyone can be an offender. Again to the people who defend rapists by pointing out what someone was wearing, i have one question, was my nightdress too short?
Random Person but its the person that broke into the house that gets prosecuted, why isn't it the same with rape?
Random Person Just because a girl wants to look cute or sexy doesn't mean she wants to be brutally raped by someone she doesn't know.
XxNovaXx thank you also comparing rape to getting broken into is so ignorant
Random Person Do you hear yourself when you talk..?
Random Person i respect other people and their views, like an opinion is an opinion but ffs, people are left traumatised after rape, they feel dirty and usless, some get physically abused, verbally and emotionally abuse and thats not an opinion, thats fact, its fact that rape is wrong, its fact that it is no one elses fault other than the person who committed the crime, stop defending rapists and justifying their actions because the person looked "slutty" at the time, jfc
it's so sad that not everyone got the point of this. this truly matters and was brilliant.
Point: why would someone lie about being raped when doing so only affects their own life
Good point. No one will lie and affect their own life, but people lies, and people take chances.
My point: just words(= on solid evidence) doesn't make some one guilty.
Ever hear of Brian Banks?
Doesn't show the male side of the same story though. While yes, a false accusation will backfire on the accuser for a loong time afterwards, the ramifications on the accused are harsh as well. Until the ruling, he/she will be viewed as scum and a predator. Loss of friends and/or family, most likely will lose his/her job. Will struggle to find a job later, as they were involved in a rape case. Outcome is less important, their implied sexual offense matters a lot. With social media the way it is today, perception can weigh as much, if not more, than actual evidence.
Really? It ONLY affects their own life? Are you sure about that? FALSELY accusing someone of rape would only, in any way, affect the accuser? Ok. Ok. That makes sense.
How does he not get it?
Just...FYI...only about 2-8 percent of sexual assault allegations are false. We really need to be focusing on the 98-92 percent that aren't instead of the other way around. Which is what I see happening in the comments. Even though this sketch is pretty clear with it's intention, it's definitely gone over people's heads.
(P.S. Men are statistically more likely to be assaulted than falsely accused of assault. Since there's so many fans of statistics down here. www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/12/08/false-rape-accusations_n_6290380.html )
So all social science is just agenda and we shouldn't even attempt to get hard numbers on these issues? Also, people are asking for statistics but are willing to discredit them when it doesn't align with their beliefs.
hi
yes it is
but the lives of these people are affected very negatively,
they loose their jobs, friends, family
we should not be concentraiting more on any half but on both
people should be punished for false accusations
You have cited a source that is more than one year old. I dock ten points from your comment's grade
T
+
+Poke Slowpoke Given over 90 percent of accusations aren't false yet a majority of the perpetrators never face any negative consequences, I would definitely say we need to focus on one side more than the other.
i just got it, this is what people think women "do" "say" and "think" during a allegation of rape.? right?
After all that and a year later, they still continued truth or dare😂😂😂
*fake giggles*
the whole "what were you wearing?" part, where even when she says she was wearing pyjamas he tells her "you were asking for it" WAS SO CLEVER
I get the vibe the average audience won't get this.
Don’t try to deny it you came straight to the comments
Ff-
I can't do anything straight.
the majority of the comment section has never heard of satire. haha. WE ARE ALL DOOMED. haha.
some topics are too close to some peoples lives to be funny, regardless of how it's played.
The script was good I get the premise but I didnt find it amusing just misplaced.
despite the context in which this was presented i highly doubt it was meant to be comedic.
or... you are doomed to not understand the majority of the comment section either.
VORTEX "satire" has its boundaries...
VORTEX my best friend was raped 3 times and the guy got off every time because it was labled as "fake rape accusations"
This comment section reveals that too many people aren't smart enough for Anna's videos.
Well as her videos are dumb, you're calling a majority of 1.2M people retarded
Sempiternality Looks like somebody's a little 'special'
vfefeg rgegre I wouldn't be surprised to find out your sister is your mom
this was the longest game of truth or dare I've ever seen
Finally, a sketch that gives a realistic portrayal of how Truth or Dare is actually played.
This sketch is great, but it's also depressing that a massive percentage of the population disagrees with its message.
We disagree over the fact that you think that 1% of rape accusation are false, because in reality nearly 40% are.
post a credible source for your claims
What was the message... I don't get it :/
Martin Ng that pretty much no one in their right mind would falsely accuse someone of rape because of the social stigma and victim blaming.
Queen Anne Boleyn And that's wrong.

Holy shite! The convergence of these three wonderfully hilarious people is the epitome of my existence thus far.
her wit has so much of rage anger and sarcasm, i love her.
That's one hell of a commitment to truth or dare
MightiestArm that's why.... it's.... sarcasm
Tilly...the irony is that MightiestArm was being sarcastic...but you somehow missed that target the size of a barn.
50% people talking about how people dont get it
40% are complaining about cringy comments
Less than 10% actually dont get it
"the chances of him going to jail are SO LOW. He's white"
X'DDDDDDDDD
HILARIOUS BUT TRUE! X'D
LMAI fR
I hope you don't get disheartened by some of the idiocy in the comments Anna, some people don't understand, but hopefully the amount of these people are dramatically declining, this is a brilliant message you showed in a really creative and funny way! Love your videos Anna. Xx
crimson ph34r Not all women do that, you know. Only 1% of women in the entire world have, or will, do that.
Oh yes the answer to portraying a really serious issue is by using another completely serious issue, but make the whole thing as if it was a joke like it doesn't happen. BOTH RAPE AND FALSE ACCUSATIONS ARE WRONG. You Amy are part of the problem
Angellapie one percent lol I don't think your old enough to understand just how bad some women have become lol
oh my god! this is so gooooood! love your production like always
This is so well done,and i love the sarcasm ♥ Well done Anna,Allison and Gaby ♥
Why would anyone falsely accuse someone of rape knowing that person's reputation will be at major risk
I don't know. People seem to do it anyways so I don't care
Why would anyone rape know what will happen to the person
This sketch is such a hilarious way of debunking false rape accusations lololol haha :)
kayla torrez can’t tell if you’re being sarcastic or not
kayla torrez it’s also about how the counsel or asked what clothes she was wearing
I think they actually show both sides of the argument in so little time.
"Innocent till proven guilty"
im not even gonna pick a side in this argument but i feel like regardless of what side of the argument you are in this line must stay the same and must be applicable in each situ
How is it that I’ve never seen this before? You three are my favorite RUclipsrs
Going from watching Filthy Frank to watching Anna Akana is like watching a horror movie then a dinsey one to be able to sleep
Ah okay I got it. At first I wasn't sure what you guys were trying to say but this was actually pretty smart.
Foxes And tea what are they trying to say?
"Omg your so bad!" Lmao I love Anna 😂
this was so blunt I wasn't expecting it to be damn
this sketch shows how hard it is for someone accusing another of rape. we obviously don’t feel sorry for this girl because she falsely accuses someone else of rape, but this sketch conveys an image that if it’s hard for someone to succeed in convicting someone of rape, then it’s even harder for real victims, and it shows that false rape accusers make it that much harder for a rape victim to ever convict their rapist.
I had no idea what this was going to be... I'm so glad I didn't make any assumptions or expectations because this was legendary.
my nu fave quote
False rape accusation do happen.. some girls are so desperate for attention or really want to destroy some dudes life.
this is satire, that's the whole point.
