"Poll question: "....got Me Too'd" "


  

          

I got this gripe thats been growing on the subject of the Me Too movement

its the way the language around the issue has shifted in a way thats makes the aggressors the victims.

What I mean is, IF and WHEN a story breaks about a celebrity and sexual misconduct the talks around the water cooler seem to now sound something like,

"Gosh, didjahear, Russel Crowe got me-too'd?"

"Oh wow, I was just reading about how if Hugh Hefner were in his prime today he would have gotten me-too'd"

or what about Kanye's use of it in 'Yikes'?

"Russell Simmons wanna pray for me too / I'ma pray for him 'cause he got #MeToo'd"


BRUH.

You don't get Me-Too'd. You're not the victim if whats happening is light being placed on the bad and fucked up things you've done behind closed doors.


When I hear "MeToo'd" I hear people saying "these people would have gotten along fine if those damn pesky victims would have just shut the fuck up about it all"

                i get the line of thinking but don't see it as most people's perception

                     I agree with you but I also think, language shapes perception
