Glad to see that Sky News’ journalism is ‘unbiased’ when it comes to reporting sexual violence across genders.
Why is raped in air quotes for this headline?
I get that there’s a whole process to go through before the facts are confirmed but I don’t recall seeing air quotes before on similar stories.
Wow, they actually put raped in quotation marks like that’s not a thing.
It always seems somewhat more terrifying when two of these people band together. Like, how does that fucking conversation come about.
What a weird headline to use quotes on. I get that it’s alleged but there had to have been a way to phrase it that sounded less dubiousof the poor guy 🙁
Do people not like quotation marks these days?
What’s the new way to quote something?
Edit: Still waiting for the new method of quoting dialogue.
Or have we as a society abandoned the whole concept of quoting speech?
For those claiming “raped” is always in quotes in headlines until conviction, counter examples:

I hope this young man is getting all the help and support he needs.
Suspect on the left looks like an evil version of Count Von Count from Sesame Street. C*nt von C*nt
the dude in black clothing. his face looks out of this world…
I’ll never understand how rapist’s actually get it up to do the dirty deed. Suppose it doesn’t work at that moment?
All very fucked up obvs.
Amazes me how shit the quality off cctv pictures are this day in age.
After looking through 128 comments so far not seen 1 comment say the usual a woman would get of:
* Did they lead the attacker on?
* Where they wearing something revealing?
* Could they of avoided the situation?
* Did they say NO forcibly?
* Are you sure they didn’t lead them on first?
* Are you sure they are not lying?
Don’t get me wrong I’m very glad nobody is saying that about the guy victim, just wish it was the norm.
I initially thought raped was in quotation marks because when a woman rapes a man, it’s not classed as rape under UK law but after reading the article, I have no idea.
What does “raped” mean? Why quote it, could just say he reported it. I always hate when they say allegations or alleged too it should say the victim has reported it. Can’t be held liable and doesn’t shame or re victimise victims.
What’s with the quotation marks, is it because it’s only an alleged bumming at this point?
Why not say allegedly raped instead of ‘raped’? Nasty bastards
Love How When It’s A Male The ‘Rape’ Is In Quotations As If A Man Would Lie About It.
