A video of a girl expressing her frustration after being stereotyped as a prostitute by an individual she paid to charge her device sparked another harmful comment. The comment read, “Aboki actually knows she’s one of his customers,” implying that the man knew her as a client, despite the commenter having no knowledge of either party.
Such baseless assumptions are not only damaging but dangerous. This type of stereotyping reduces a woman’s anger at being wrongfully judged to an unfounded claim of guilt. The comment promotes the harmful idea that being upset about an unfair accusation must mean it’s true, especially when tied to degrading stereotypes. Without any factual basis, it’s irresponsible to make such claims, as it perpetuates discrimination and reinforces negative societal attitudes toward women. Everyone deserves to be treated with respect and dignity, without being unjustly labeled based on mere interactions.
