In response to @adenike_pretty’s post on X, a highly insensitive comment was made: “I will rather be a rapist than be gay.” This disturbing remark was met with outrage, as it trivializes the seriousness of rape—a violent crime—and perpetuates harmful attitudes.
Rape is a profound violation of human rights and should never be compared or downplayed in any context. Such comments reflect deep-seated prejudices and misguided thinking, which not only harm survivors of sexual violence but also contribute to a culture that fails to take accountability for serious crimes. It’s crucial to denounce both rape and discrimination without promoting such harmful comparisons.
