niall- niall is the one i am most sure about. after 1d, he will be successful as a guitarist for other recoding artists, both in the studio and on the road. he will also get song writing credits, both for lyrics and music. he may try to do some solo work, but nothing will catch. he will stay vaguely popular on twitter… Read more
Well, to view it consensually you would have to click on a descriptive link first. Given that's not how the comments works, I'd say that's a no. Read more
So lots of tongue, got it. Read more
Anybody who thinks it's hypocritical for us to hate rape and like sex isn't very good at thinking. Read more
Being non-consensually assailed with violent, graphic imagery of rape porn is not even close to the same thing as voluntarily looking at porn that appeals to you. Read more
Yes, we will do that on the same day that anyone gives a shit about what you think. Read more
He's in jail, she's in jail; seems like a wine-wine situation to me. Read more
I just keep imagining the person sitting at his desk, Googling and copy-pasting "rape gifs" to a comments section... Read more
It's taken me a long time to figure out why I hate being catcalled in almost every scenario but I think it's a combination of factors.
