Being A Rapist Is Preferable To Being Gay - Boiking001

A controversial post by @adenike_pretty on X, which stated, “Nigerians act like being a rapist is better than being gay,” sparked heated reactions. While the post intended to highlight societal biases, an alarming comment from user @boiking001 followed, stating, “Yes, it’s better,” implying that being a rapist is preferable to being gay.

This comment was met with outrage online for its disturbing insensitivity. Rape is a violent crime that violates human rights, while homosexuality, though illegal in Nigeria, involves consensual relationships. Rather than comparing these distinct issues, both should be condemned, and the harmful normalization of any criminal act should be strongly opposed.
