The hashtag balancetonrappeur supposed to free the word of the victims has turned against relatives of the rappers, women of course, and among them the singer Angela, sister of Romeo Elvis.
Following the denunciation of the alleged violent acts on the women of rapper Moha la Squale, the hashtag Balancetonrappeur emerged. A good thing to free the word of the victims. Singer Angele, a claimed feminist, called on the alleged victims to come forward and publicly denounce the sex offenders. Just days later, singer Romeo Elvis was also accused of sexual assault. Yet it is not he who finds himself in the turmoil …
The young man is accused by a young woman, who released screenshots suggesting an assault. The rapper regrets a "stupid and inappropriate gesture" that is not explicitly mentioned: "I just want to apologize again for that", "And move on definitely, I'm really ashamed and really don't want my girlfriend to really learn this stuff."
Immediately many people began to call not only the singer for explanations, but also … his sister, the singer Angèle. Her Instagram account was quickly flooded with comments below her photos asking her to speak out about the accusations against her brother. Internet users insinuate a complicity on the part of the one who does not directly accuse her brother, some even speaking of a reversal of karma. It goes far.
This is also the case for Lena Simonne. This young woman had relayed the accusations against Moha la Squale, who had launched the hashtag #balancetonrappeur. Except that she is also the girlfriend of rapper Romeo Elvis. And that we obviously do not forgive him. Some Internet users then did not hesitate to come and overwhelm the young woman with hateful comments because of the alleged actions of her boyfriend.
What this story reveals
Once again, men don't prey on other men, but on the women around them. Their greatest fault is obviously to be claimed feminists, and to speak out without blushing on many subjects. As our colleague from Causette puts it very well: “As if being a feminist means having to bear the brunt of the (alleged) faults of our male entourage and apologize for them for them. "
Calling the entourage of an accused person to account is the first and quite revealing reflex of a society where women are often the ideal culprits and constantly subject to male judgment, constantly obliged to educate those around them.
What if we changed that together by asking the men around us to question their own behaviors in the first place?
