Honestly, I'm really disappointed because this #metoo campaign was exposing how sick the industry is and was teaching a lot of people about how power differences play a factor in sexual assault. Now MRAs and the likes are going to forever shove this in our faces and claim that this shows "women are rapists too!" to distract from future cases of sexual assault. What a dumb bitch.

The whole story is really weird but what I found odd is how Melanie wrote Timothy didn't say no. Giving up on saying no after two days and saying yes are pretty far apart, still.
It also seems like Timothy was emotionally dependent on Melanie. And being emotionally dependent makes saying no even more difficult + you're willing to take the blame for everything
No. 214599
>>214544this matches up with Timothy's version. Technically Mel's "she never said no" is true to the sex part. She said no when Melanie asked her to do stuff, but after a while when Mel touched her, Timothy stopped opposing (I get why, she was coerced into giving up, mentally exhausted, probably thought if she gives her a bit, she'll be satisfied and stop - I can imagine it more or less). So Mel
technically isn't lying. That was still rape though. And the "lack of trauma" is explainable, too. Timothy said herself that she realized the seriousness of what happened when her friends started to point it out. She's been best friends with someone she adored, someone way "higher" than her (how do you say it, damn, sorry for my poor wording), such relationships are always toxic. Honestly her story is believable for me, you just have to use some empathy. And if you're still doubting, Melanie basically proved the story to be real with her response

No. 214610
>>214599I thought so, too. But: I think there is a difference between a rape and being pushed. Rape is taking someones body by force, violently. Pushing and talking someone (who is not a minor of course) to have sex with you is a bit different deal. It's not right, it shouldn't go unnoticed, but it sure as hell ain't rape. If it was, I could say people have attempted to rape me like a hundred times, because some desperate creeps AND sometimes friends(!) might try to talk you into doing something you don't really want to do. The key is to resist being pushed and leave the situation, which of course is always harder when the person pushing you has power over you. That's why it's wrong.

No. 214611
>>214587I find it so weird that she cosplayed MM just a while back. Anyone could think about this situation: if you were raped, would you cosplay your rapist? Seriously.
I think she's just calling it rape, it might be that she was pushed and didn't really want to have sex but also didn't make that clear. Or she just regretted it later for some reason.
No. 214612
>>214610Saying no and have someone constantly manipulate, and guilt and keep pushing after you’ve said no until they’ve worked you down enough to finally just give in because they’re ovviously not going to take no for an answer is more than just “being pushed” into sex.
I feel sorry for you and your mentality anon, I personally would still consider it rape - they’re going against your consent by continuing to pressure you into it. Something like that can still fuck someone up for a long while, especially because you’re left thinking it was your fault for giving in, or it wasn’t “technically” rape because you said yes eventually….. rape isn’t always violent.
No. 214617

Funny how Timothy is now increasing in followers on her social media. Her music must be so shit she came up with this plan. Melanie is the perfect pal to throw in the mud though - creepy persona and comes across as a dickhead anyway. It's just weird.
I don't believe her but at the same time I'm sure about Melanie because she likes the dolly weirdo act hence her response "we were in a dark age bla bla angel of light save us" and all that shit.

I mean how the fuck do we know they weren't dicking about as girls and one thing lead to another. Timothy could have complied and she never said anything. Now she's after a fan base for her music and does this.
Melanie… she just made herself look stupid by saying what she said. If she said "It never happened" or something then maybe she could have gotten anyway with it. None of us were there at the end of the day and something like this is hard to prove.
I know Timothy's friend has a back up or whatever so it supports her case - was he there? Probably not. People will believe their best friends because… they're their best friends. Even friends lie.

I still call bullshit.
They probably fell the fuck out over the weekend on Saturday night and what a perfect way to trash your ex best mate though. Just ruin their career.
Can't have been that fucking damaging given all the pictures they're in together having fun. Course Timothy looks lifeless because it's probably her default expression (she looks the same in all of them including her IG ones).

No. 214632
Obviously, I wasn't there and have no idea what happened, but I will say this: that whole overblown idea of the "girl regrets it, so she calls rape" is actually a very real thing when it comes to same sex intercourse. In my personal life, I've known quite a few people who've done this. I even had a friend do something on a lesser scale to me. She didn't say I forced her, but she acted like I pressured her into it and she was so fucked up over it… even though she was the one who pressured me (literally said if I was a good friend, I'd go down on her then proceeded to guilt trip the shit out of me when I refused to go that far) and she was 18 and I was 14, so it was actually state rape on her part.
Plus, not that I think this is a valid argument in general, but… why didn't she fight her off or leave? Melanie is fucking tiny, it's not like she's a guy who could overpower a girl easily and potentially hurt her more if she physically resisted. And the fact that she's writing about the effects of weed as if it's similar to drinking makes me even more skeptical.
No. 214637
>>214605Hey, your icon is showing.
I think it's fine that some of you are skeptical. But to say that women are coming out for notoriety or money from their abuser isn't right. That kind of judgement is the reason why a lot of victims won't tell anyone for years about their experience. Have more empathy.
Timothy admired her and looked up to her and MM took advantage. She also mentions having endured sexual abuse before so it's possible after refusing MM, she froze out of fear.
If this is true, MM is a sick fuck.

No. 214656
My theory is Timothy felt bitter after they stopped being friends/envious of Melanie's success and began to regret what they did, then twisted and exaggerated the situation to sound like something much more skeevy than it actually was. I get that some people develop a kinda Stockholm thing for their assailant, but I find it fucking weird that she remained friends with her for so long after and didn't reveal any of this until celebrity sex assault accusations became such a big thing and she just released a single.
Plus, I'm sorry but she wasn't in any kind of position where she couldn't just fucking leave or force her to stop (not that I'm at all saying Melanie wasn't being predatorial IF Timothy's version of events is true). Can we stop pretending grown women are children incapable of control in any sexual situation? Melanie is 5'2 and like 100lbs, she isn't some hulking guy who Timothy would understandably worry about beating the shit put of her if she resisted. It was a situation she easily could have gotten out of if we're to believe her side. I feel like perpetuating this idea that a woman doesn't have the ability to gtfo of there is the polar opposite of empowerment and really bad for women.
>>214655Completely different situation. You were dependent on him for a place to live, she was merely having a sleepover with Melanie.
No. 214657
>>214650Oh yeah, I totally agree that this discussion doesn’t bring us any closer to who’s telling the truth. It’s most likely in this scenario that neither is quite telling the whole truth.
But I still don’t agree with the “they could have just left so it wasn’t quite rape” stance. If you don’t stab a burglar in your house, should it be accepted that you weren’t really burgled? The onus shouldn’t be on the victim, it should be on the perpetrator - there should be definite signals of encouragement. There is such a thing as freezing in fear… especially if something like this has happened before; trauma response can include dissociation.
No. 214658
>>214656Samefag but
I’m not perpetuating the idea that women are children with no power to stop situations. It’s recognising that 1) they shouldn’t have to, because they shouldn’t be being assaulted and 2) that some women do become incapable in those situations, for many reasons. I don’t think we’ll ever know the whole situation here tbh, but in the event she’s telling the truth and she was raped by someone who was supposed to be her best friend, maybe we should cool off with the “well she didn’t do anything to stop it!!1!”

If you're conscious and make no indication you don't want it in the context of two girls fooling around at a sleep over, it's not a sexual assault. Plain and simple. Plus, it contradicts what Timothy said (that she did say no).
There is absolutely no evidence that Timothy's version of events is what went down. Sorry, but "innocent until proven guilty" is a thing for a reason. The only thing confirmed is that they had sex.
Also, yeah, I would say the exact same thing if we were talking about a man she was close to (assuming it wasn't a boss or anyone with real power over her). The fact it's a 5'2 tiny girl just makes it even more ridiculous.

I don't want to say I feel bad for her because for all any of us know it could be real and I don't want to side with anyone when I don't know jack about what happened, but this just seems off, the whole thing.

After reading this thread, it finally clicked. I remember her, she was semi tumblr famous years ago and then released a single with her boyfriend. They were trying really hard to get famous, the song was cute but the music video was really cringy and it just seemed like they were trying too hard. They made two different videos for the same song, like they were desperate to make something popular. She also cited mental abuse as the reason for breaking up the band. It kind of seems like she always sees herself as the victim. I’m usually one to believe the victim, but this whole thing is so publisized and sleazy. I really feel like she threw Melanie under the bus for the publicity. She’s milking the attention, has a new song and single coming up, surely this scheme to get famous will work. She regretted giving into her friend, I get that, the situation was really uncomfortable but I wouldn’t call it rape. I’m sure that Melanie is not a great friend, she probably is self centered and bossy. But publicizing it to this degree with a fresh new single, coming from someone who has always struggled to make her music popular, it makes me wonder.

this subject is really breaking me, anons.
on one hand, i think its bullshit that Timothy girl didn't fight it or scream Melanie to get off her. on the other hand, i do believe that some rape victims can be too paralyzed to fight the attackers. so i'm at a lost here on who to believe. melanie makes it seems like they both got high and had sex. tim makes it seem like melanie took advantage of her.
personally, i was sexually abused at a very young age. like with timothy, i didn't say "no" or fought back because i was too scared of my abuser and i also didn't even know what we were "doing" together. so, i get where Timothy is coming from… but Timothy is a grown ass woman… I mean sure she smoke some pot but still… i don't know. when i read her story and saw that she didn't really fight it i found it strange since she's an adult who knew exactly what was happening. and, not trying to be a dick here, but Melanie doesn't look like a very intimadating person
>>214603so i really don't know who i should support. this shit about timothy not saying "no" makes everything very tricky.
also, i'll predict that melanie will come out with a statement about being sexually abused too. like the way the rapist actor came out of the closet for sympathy. i don't know, i've noticed that a lot of abuse victims (including me back in the day) deal with their trauma with the whole little girl shit. and the "tag you're it" song too, i honestly don't think she was trying to be edgy. i think she has dealt with a similar trauama and this lil girl shit is a reflection of it. i could be wrong sure, but the fact that she's was so slutty and trying to have sex with her bff (who was in a relationship). idk to me it screams of someone with severe issues. so it turns out that melanie went through something similar i wouldn't be surprised.
don't know guys, just venting itt cause this subject is messing with my head. all these constant rape allegations fuck with me, but this in particular is strange as hell.

also, i've been fucked up on weed so much it was hard for me to remember what i was trying to do or say, so maybe this is the case? idk, if it were alcohol no one would be judging so hard.

Even if it isn't sex lmao two days and hours of asking and asking means the other person doesn't fucking want to. Apply that to any other situation. I'd be fucking embarrassed to be rejected that many times there's no way Melanie didn't know or couldn't tell her friend was uncomfortable.
I've never been a fan of Melanie because her adult baby gimmick grossed me out and I know 0 about her but I was admittedly very suspicious of the timing. Recently my friend got accused of grooming by some wacko who admitted she lied the next day so I never jumped the guilty bandwagon. UNTIL Melanie she said was that it was consentual, not that the begging and asking never happened which is what I found ridiculous. There's no way in hell a situation like that was consentual.

Stella Rose, a clothing designer from NYC used to work with Melanie frequently, even appearing in some of her music videos, but their business relationship dissolved. She posted a vague status on twitter that I think is about Melanie.
If I recall correctly, they stopped working together because Melanie is extremely straight edge and didn't approve of smoking weed.

reality all we did was have consensual sex, i would have argued against that. i would've explicitly said, "no, that's not what happened. she's lying. her story is made up x and y is what actually happened." i wouldn't have written some poem about how close we were and that i wished her the best lmao. all melanie said was that to her casually dildoing her friend who neither screamed or pushed her away wasn't rape to her. just like she probably doesn't think there's anything pedophilic about getting off on binkies and kids' toys.

>>214892To be fair, she made that statement right after Timothy made those accusations. She's no doubt pretty fucked up from it and processing it. I doubt a small paragraph is going to be all she says about it, she probably just needs time to figure out how to go about things.
I don't think it's a situation you can say for sure what you would do in if you've never experienced it. I had a guy friend say I took advantage of him in a sick attempt get out of trouble for cheating on his girlfriend with me (before anyone judges me for homewrecking, he lied and told me they were in an open relationship). Luckily, almost everyone knew it was complete bullshit including her, but I was so shocked and disturbed that I couldn't even form a coherent defense. Turns out he pulled the same shit with four other girls he cheated on her with too. Ironically the one person I know of who had his back was another girl he accused of doing the same thing, but she had no idea he was saying that about her at the time.
Anyway, sorry for blogging, but my point is that it's such a crazy position to be in and I can't blame Melanie for not coming out with a more detailed statement yet. I was so fucked up over the guy who accused me of taking advantage of him even though almost everyone who heard it found it totally laughable. I can't imagine what it would be like to have that happen as a celebrity with thousands of people wanting to crucify me. I would literally be on suicide watch in a psych ward if I was her.

I find it really weird that all that her PR has to say is ''she stands with her statement.'' with the amount of money she makes she should have an A class team working with her, shouldn't she? This is dealt with so badly on her side. the best they could do for damage control is to admit that it happened, make a settlement with Timothy (money, paying for therapy whatsoever) and basically leave the industry lol.

>>214953at first I was very suspicious about this whole deal, because it seemed sketchy (timing, that the abuse happened ages ago and she's telling about it right when she made a new song and video is on the way, that she cosplayed her yada yada) but considering all this it just starts to look more and more convincing that Timothy was actually abused by Melanie. I think it might be that Melanie doesn't see it that way, but it doesn't make it better at all.
She might be wrong in the head but I wouldn't drag her style and artistic choices to this, there are plenty of artists who make music about fucked up things and unnerving music videos and don't walk around abusing people. Art is art, not necessarily a picture of the artist's identity or life. Unnerving and fucked up art doesn't mean that the artist has to be some kind of psycho.

>>214955Timothy never cosplayed Melanie though. She explained that the look was Melanie's doing whilst on tour out of boredom. And the timing has a lot more to do with the Weinstein cases which has lead to many people having their rape and abuse stories finally heard and believed. Not to mention the me too movement happened in October.
It often takes victims months even years and decades to speak out, Tim addressed this by explaining it was friends and family that alerted her that what she had experienced was rape and was not okay. It only happened a year and a half ago, that's pretty soon if you ask me. It took me 15 years to talk about my rape.

No. 215003
>>215002The thing is about this scenario is neither of them are ever going to be able to prove it, whether it did or didn't happen, because it being rape or not actually only hangs on whether Timothy really did say "no" or even show reluctance at any point. Timothy has detailed the physical act took place and Melanie basically confirmed that was true.
If the truth of the matter is "Timothy felt uncomfortable and didn't want to, but didn't outwardly show that in any way, and now feels it was akin to rape" then Melanie's life has been ruined by Timothy's regret over her lack of action… which is what shitty incels accuse women of doing all the time in pretty much every case of rape. It's not good, any of it.

No one can prove shit. Melanie didn't really confirm it properly and people can only be suspicious.
Remember when Michael Jackson was convicted to raping some kid? Even though he was apparently innocent - how do we even know that didnt happen with some other kid in secret and they havent come out?

Im not being funny but as someone who has been molested (you guys might not even believe me) but you learn to just move on. You cannot ever forget what happened but you get stronger and whats happened has happened sadly. But I wouldn't deem what happened to me as bad as being killed and tossed in a ditch.
Thanks to new feminism of this era rape is like the new thing to make a fuss on. Its disgusting - I agree. To lie about it is also disgusting too. But like you said I just dont fully believe this story. Its hard to when there is no proof. Its gotten that way these days everyone is jumping out pointing fingers and saying they've been raped just for some cash or attention.
Timothys story just seems off. People go off at people victim blaming but the girl knew Melanie was being a weirdo asking her for sex and said no more than once. So if this is all true, its just odd why she slept over and if it was happenint why didn't she just go. Slap Melanie and fuck off to a hotel or call her boyfriend to get her or walk out. I mean I would have floored her before she raped me put it that way. People keep saying "but she was shocked!" Like fuck off, she couldn't have been that shocked if she knew what was happening and was aware of each detail. Rape is still rape yeah - we get it. But it just makes me think… why the hell go? Stay? Get the hell out.
You wouldnt put your hand in fire would you knowing you'd get burnt. I just lack sympathy even if it did happen because of that.
Its like the case with lindsey Hawker - barely knew some Japanese guy and went back to his place then got killed. Why do that?
Sure she trusted MM as her best friend but you would have some kind of alarm bells going off in your head. People may find me harsh but I dont care.
Still I just find the story off and her promoting herself too. Still no proof so I cant say i fully believe another one of these allegations. Sorry but… I cant.

I'm not trying to jab at you, but you handled being molested in a different way. A lot of victims feel loyal to their abusers. This isn't entirely unheard of. Rape and manipulation isn't some lifetime movie where you get raped and then a month later you start feeling all empowered and shit.

>>215017I was with you until you started victim blaming Lindsay Hawker. That situation wasn't even comparable to what Timothy was claiming.
But yeah, even if Timothy is telling the truth, I still have very little sympathy. According to her, Melanie came onto her for two nights according to her. Why the fuck would her reaction be to just lie there and take it unless she wanted it? As previously mentioned, Melanie is much smaller than her, there was zero physical intimidation factor that would justify being "frozen". I don't really see it as victim blaming to point out Timothy had the option of leaving at any time and no reason not to.
No. 215029
>>215022Timothy is a grown ass woman. It's still on her if she felt "too loyal" to deny Melanie sex. Being reliant on her for a place to stay also doesn't make it rape. It makes it really sad, but Melanie never threatened to kick her out if they didn't sleep together.
I've been in the position of a friend using disgusting manipulation tactics and pressure to get me to have sex with him in a way that's a little worse than what Timothy claims. It's a terrible thing to go through, but it's not the same as being raped. I'd feel like I was belittling rape victims to even consider thinking of it that way.
No. 215038
>>215029So you didn't handle your situation the same way that Timothy did. What is your point, anon? Timothy was reliant on Melanie for a place to stay and Melanie likely took advantage of that.

>>215033>>215038The problem is that you guys don't seem to understand that being pressured into sex is not the same as rape. By definition, rape is penetration against your will.

Unless the person got you to have sex with them through threatening you in some way, it isn't rape if you ultimately consent to sex when you don't want it.
It's not that I'm "not like other rape victims", it's that I understand I'm a full grown woman who had the ability to leave at any moment. Were his actions horrible and predatory? Absolutely. But it wasn't rape because in the end I consented when I wasn't forced to. Sorry that it offends you that I acknowledge that sex you regret isn't the same as rape.

Being pressured into sex just simply isn't rape by definition. The key factor there being THEY HAD A CHOICE. Women aren't children, anon. If a guy (or girl) insists on sleeping with them and they eventually cave and say yes when they don't want to, that's not rape. That's making a dumb decision and people need to take responsibility instead of playing the victim when they always had a choice in whether or not to have sex. If there is no threat, force, or intoxication it isn't rape.
>>215046I didn't leave because I was incredibly weak mentally and allowed myself to buy into the manipulative shit he was saying. I didn't want it, but that's irrelevant, I still could have left and chose not to.

We've been told by a former makeup artist for Melanie that her staff began to dwindle because Melanie is an incredibly difficult person to work with and was prone to tantrums.
It sounds more like Melanie used the closeness of Timothy and her friendship to her advantage as well as her fame.

ANYWAY
rape is forced sex, not -just- physically. if someone is asking you something over and over again despite you saying no, it is harassment and it is them who are wrong for disrespecting you. if you tell someone yes eventually but don't actually want it, it is forced. you don't have to force someone violently or physically. also the whole victim blaming thing has to do more with the idea of telling someone else that they are responsible for having their personal space violated, that's why you can't equate it with stuff like robbery.

And nope. Someone asking you a bunch to have sex and then you caving in isn't rape. Disrespectful, disgusting, and very wrong yes, but rape no. It isn't "victim blaming" to say that yes, there is an element of responsibility on you if you give into the sex when there's no extenuating circumstances that are forcing you like fear of losing your job for example.
However, the thing with Timothy is different from this phenomenon in general because she never formally revoked her initial refusal.
No. 215126
I feel so gross even sharing this story.
When I was in high school, my best friend in the world ended our friendship abruptly and extremely cruelly. I was so emotionally devastated and filled with anger toward her that I did the worst thing I've ever done. I told people she had sexually assaulted me repeatedly throughout our friendship. Everyone believed me and since she lived in a different state, she never found out I was saying these things about her. I felt like she deserved it because she had caused me so much damage at a level I thought of at the time as being equal to if she actually did do those things. I even gave incredibly graphic descriptions. Eventually, I admitted I made it up when my mother insisted on pressing charges after it got back to her.
The truth was that I was cyberstalking her and very obsessed. Not in a romantic way, but I missed her so much. It was a fucked up combination of love and hate. I would say it was the other way around, which from what I've heard is common in stalking.
Timothy's story reminded me so much of how I told my made up one. I too claimed to be unwilling until one night she finally broke me and I just let her have her way with me because I loved her too much. At first, I thought I was just letting my own sins cloud my judgment with the Timothy thing too much, but then more info came out.
Timothy says that their relationship ended because Melanie felt it was taking up too much of her emotional energy. This alone doesn't mean she's lying, but combined with other things makes me feel like she had jilted ex bff syndrome.
She dressed like Melanie several times since the incident allegedly occurred. One very recently. Last I knew, dressing up like your rapist wasn't a thing victims do.
She just released a single and had it as her pinned tweet. Melanie was due to release her new album next month. As someone mentioned earlier, rape victims usually try to keep away from these kinds of "coincidences" that benefit them so it won't be a potential motive to hold against them.
It is very apparent that the two had a very obsessive relationship. The more obsessed you are, the more likely you are to do something psychotically destructive to the person when things go sour.
Between feeling like Melanie abandoned her, envying her success, and needing something to get publicity for her music, I'd say this girl had plenty of motive to make this shit up.
I wasn't there so I'm not trying to act like I know for sure, but this is the theory I lean toward.
No. 215127
>>215123http://studenthealth.emory.edu/hp/respect_program/consent_vs_coercion.htmlExcept that the problem is that there is an element of victim blaming. You're placing responsibility on the person who was abused. She explains it in her statement; She felt emotionally worn out. She was high and weed does affect the way your body reacts. Melanie should have fucking understood this after two days of being told no. I see many people even overlooking Melanie offering Timothy weed in the first place, as if Melanie wouldn't have tried something else if Timothy had refused to smoke.
She said no several times.
Silence is not a yes.
Melanie was manipulative. She knew what she did was wrong simply by the way her statement was worded.
People think rape is somehow very specific aka pushed into a dark alleyway. Rape can happen in various settings and its most often carried out by people close to the victim. Rape can be your s.o continuing with sex despite you telling them to stop. It can be your spouse doing something without your consent while having sex. It can be someone wearing you down so much that you end up actually SAYING YES, not because you want it, but because you want to make it all stop.
Maybe that bloganon was raped and is in denial. Maybe she thinks it was her fault and that's pretty common for abuse victims. However, there's a violation of someone's body when you decide to ignore various attempts at refusing you. Consent has to be given explicitly by the other person. If somebody's going limp and unresponsive while you're performing sex acts on them (you know, Melanie doing oral on Timothy and then violating her with a sex toy), that is rape. And, this refusal to acknowledge these terms if just a result of the many, many years of softening and replacing them with others.
Timothy was deeply, emotionally attached to Melanie. One may have a harder time trying to refuse someone you love or she felt pressured considering Melanie was the one providing her with shelter at the time aka she had nowhere else in the world to go.
I get it; This topic became trivialized by rampant femnazis, but don't brush off terms like victim blaming just because you refuse to learn.
>>215126And, as for you?
>She dressed like Melanie several times since the incident allegedly occurred. One very recently. Last I knew, dressing up like your rapist wasn't a thing victims do.Timothy was on tour with Melanie and, as per the caption description of that photo, it was Melanie's idea to dress Tim up as herself. The makeup application is also Melanie's handiwork if you pay close enough attention. Wow, its almost as if victims can and do feel loyal to their abusers.
I don't understand why everybody has been pretending that rape is something you just get over while a Liz Phair song plays in the background as one screams dramatically in their shower.

>>215177True. I went to a Melanie Martinez concert when I was 19 (three years ago) and I was among the older people there. Most uncomfortable to me was the alarming number of girls way younger than me wearing pacifiers around their necks and in their fucking MOUTHS (some of them in Decoden and kandi style; but most just straight up pacifiers).
I think Ddlg is gross but I’m not one to stop two consenting adults from doing whatever the fuck they want, but it’s really fucking creepy just how much her concert felt like an adult baby meetup/fetish party.
Also there’s undertones of abuse narratives/Toxic relationships in a lot of Melanie’s songs, so it’s honeslty not like this should surprise anyone at all. She’s totally profited off of profoundly edgy “lost innocence” themes.
Not sure if this was mentioned before but Melanie has a history of having hissy fits at concerts because fans are ‘interupting’ her or being too enthusiastic.
She also has the stage present of an undercooked noodle.
>>215064Honestly, as someone who’s lived through sexual coercion and rape, she was probably of the mindset that if She didn’t resist, it would be over sooner. Especially since she reports Melanie making repeated advances on her. She was high, and probably exhausted from Melanie consistently badgering her, and just wanted the whole thing to end.
My guess is that because they were close friends, Timothy might be/have been experiencing some kind of Stockholm syndrome or cognitive dissonance that has made it difficult for her to come out about this prior to her friendship with Melanie ending. Especially when a rapist is friends/a loved one of the victim it can be super hard for the victim to blame them for what happened. Melanie might have exploited Timothy’s dependency on her, because it’s so much harder to say no to someone that loves you/you love. Honestly this whole thing sounds like Melanie was straight up grooming Timothy.
Timothy even expressed uncertainty in naming Melanie, which probably came from a residual feeling of sympathy for her.

>>215186>Not sure if this was mentioned before but Melanie has a history of having hissy fits at concerts because fans are ‘interupting’ her or being too enthusiastic. Would LOVE to see a video on this.
>Also there’s undertones of abuse narratives/Toxic relationships in a lot of Melanie’s songs, so it’s honeslty not like this should surprise anyone at all. She’s totally profited off of profoundly edgy “lost innocence” themes.Not a fan of hers at all, but I see this brought up a lot and I've been wondering what exactly IS the acceptable way to go about writing songs/poems on such delicate subjects? It feels as though people claim any attention towards them at all is glamorizing them.
>>215187Sadly, it still doesn't seem to matter to her fans. Former staff/friends who worked for Melanie that chose to stand by Timothy are being accused of wanting cash grabs, there are fans saying that any action against Melanie is being anti-feminist (because you're selling out a fellow girl), and just a mess of shit.

>>215194Not sure why she does concerts when she clearly hates anyone making noise besides her- like girl, that’s why you’ve got a microphone. Fans will be fans-it’s one thing to stop fights, and it’s another to outright shush people. She plays big venues, I don’t know how she expects any sort of noise control.
>I've been wondering what exactly IS the acceptable way to go about writing songs/poems on such delicate subjects? It feels as though people claim any attention towards them at all is glamorizing them.This may seem like a flimsy response but while some of Melanie’s songs (dollhouse comes to mind) show some potential, a lot of her songs are just kind of flimsy and vapid. It’s not really good writing. Ultimately, I think what really makes it feel off for me is that coupled with her aesthetic. Like she’s branded herself with these themes in a way that they almost feel like they’re part of her IP. They’re integral to her identity and her income. In otherwords, her lyrics lose value when they stop being a social commentary and start being just another part of the ‘brand’ she’s selling.

the only reason she's being so vague is because she'd have to make up a lie about what really happened, and she's afraid of a case being opened up in court where she'll have to tell her bullshit story on the stand. obviously it'll never happen but she's clearly paranoid. she's not some state senator in a position to pay off lawyers and judges lol she actually has no one since she's so keen on burning bridges.

I've only seen a handful of people mention it on various sites. At first she claims she said no during the act, but then later says she never did. That's a pretty huge thing to mix up and that alone discredits her story. I noticed as I was looking over the thread that earlier there were anons really emphatic about the fact she said no during the alleged rape, but then when a couple people pointed out she says it both ways, they went silent.
I feel like most of the people siding so adamantly with her are intentionally ignoring or twisting anything that discredits her.

I'm sorry, but no rape victim would ever want to dress up in a style so close to their abuser when they never even wear it themselves, especially when the only other time she wore it (at least to our knowledge) was when said abuser DRESSED HER UP TO LOOK LIKE HER. That would be so horrifically

Biggest fucking reach of an argument I've seen against her so far. As for the other "friend", she's Timothy's friend, not Melanie's and is probably making shit up because she thinks it will help Timothy's credibility or is trying to hop the bandwagon. If it were Melanie's friend and she wasn't close to Timothy, I'd buy it.
>What about trying to call Timothy, being blocked, and then going as far as to call Timothy's boyfriend and make up some bullshit about how she ~*had a dream uwu bout her and sought the advice of a healer*~ ?She probably saw Timothy's post, could tell she was going to try to pull some bullshit, and wanted to talk to her. Almost anyone in that situation would want to talk the person about it. Or it was unfortunate timing. Also, keep in mind we don't even have receipts for that call, which would be the easiest thing to provide.
>What about Melanie's statements about how she needed to drop friends at the advice of a psychic if she wanted to win a Grammy?… That proves anything against Melanie how??? That just shows their relationship was too intense for Melanie and fuels the "scorned bff" argument about Timothy.
>Why do you and other anons ignore those facts?Because none of them are evidence in any way to a reasonable person except the other girl who accused her? And even then, said girl was Timothy's friend and might be lying on her behalf? The other reasons you listed mean absolutely nothing and some of them make zero sense.
>>215639Lots of people are bringing that point up on various sites. She might not specifically say it's Melanie, but a rape victim would not feel comfortable dressing up like their abuser.

>>215551She's dumb as fuck for keeping all of this vague. Everyone is talking about the story and her (2) statements are nothing. The people who got turned off by the rape allegations won't care or hear about any of this.
Timothy's story (true or not) was super detailed. It went on and on for three pics. It gave enough material for articles etc that people could cling to. Melanie just wrote two paragraphs of jackshit. You can't do anything with this. You can't debunk anything with this. Its not helpful whatsoever to her side. The only people who are reading this statements and believing it are the FEW die-hard fans she has left.
It bothers me because i do believe she's not a rapist. I think she just had sex with an ex friend and that was it. And now the ex friend who is clearly hurt, is (aware or not) twisting into something else.
Her career is dead and she's not even fighting this shit. No surprise if her label drops her next. PWR BTTM got ruined because of a rape accusation too. She ain't coming back after this. Such a shame.

>Wtf is with all the blog posts and victim complexes in this thread? Jeeeez… is it really that surprising? the only milk is timothy statement and a vague post from Melanie. Theres not much to discuss. No need to be a dick to us who know about rape from experience.

I think people are jumping to Timothy's narrative because its what the media keeps discussing. People who aren't fans of Melanie just read headlines that called her a rapist and went along with it. Which is not cool, but you shouldn't expect anything else from most people. But then again you're also mad at Melanie's fans defending her because they are bad too? Well, of course the hardcore fans are the ones defending her actions with dumb excuses. they are hardcore teenfans for a reason. Whats your point? Both sides are bad meme?
Anyways she's a bitter ex who is twisting the story to fit into something beneficial for her. No need to claim that Timothy, Melanie, Melanie's fans, Timothy's supporters, and all the anons itt talking about this are dumb and that you're the only one who is right. seriously

https://socialblade.com/youtube/user/melmartinezx3I agree with you on everything else, though. I'm also in the camp of being pretty sure Timothy's lying, but being frustrated by Melanie's lack of a real response. I understand she's probably traumatized and being told by her team to keep it vague until they figure something out, but still.
I wonder if one of the reasons she's not saying much is because they're planning legal recourse against her and don't want to fuck it up. If I was her, that's exactly what I'd be looking into. Not the back and forth Twitter war bullshit.

This is a picture from the night in question. (It was a sleepover. So who do you think took this picture?)
i saw a point earlier about how being "exhausted" and "worn down" is a crap way to describe this situation and I completely agree. It's not hard at all to say "Quit with the annoying shit, I don't want to have sex with you, I'm leaving." And if she was bothering her so much the first night, why spend he night with her again the day after? Her releasing a rape accusation the day she released her single is far too much of a coincidence.
Don't get me wrong though, Melanie is weird as shit. It's obvious she's into BGDD, but according to this picture and other past pictures on Timothys insta, it's undeniable that Timothy also has a fondness of BDSM. They're both equally into fucked up sexual shit. Neither are innocent.

I’m not blaming someone for not assuming someone else’s intentions? It’s apparent Melanie made it pretty clear what she was after, and while it’s not Timothy’s fault in any way that she (supposedly) turned out to be a rapist, if you place yourself in risky situations you open yourself up to that risk? Therefore I wouldn’t engage in sex play with someone who was making me feel sexually uncomfortable. Why is that such a radical concept? Or do you live in a world where you assume everyone is nice and good, and are surprised when they do bad things?

That's a horrible pretense to setup.
I hope every woman on the planet's biggest hurdle in their sexual assault is feeling too lazy to get the fuck up and leave because "weed lmao". Timothy's reaching for attention and her story is the biggest insult to rape victims I've read during this #metoo movement. Classic "replace 'regret' with 'rape' because I'm personally embarrassed now with my obsession with her then".
Melanie's clearly a nut job, but Timothy didn't really think about the situation until after people started saying it was weird, wow, hmm.
I would've tried to call my nutty exbest friend too if I see her about to come out with a story about a public figure abusing her and literally regurgitating her new self-education about abuse a line at a time on twitter.

I saw the way you all commented on real rape victims in this thread and tried to shame them into your narrative that allows any woman, for any reason, for feeling uncomfortable, to garner sympathy and attention as a "rape victim.

The main thing that’s been REALLY getting under my skin after this whole rape allegation are the blatant Martinez carbon copies swearing up and down “this is own unique style, I’ve never looked up to her or taken influence from her, I don’t even follow her lol” when they clearly followed her prior to the allegation but just don’t want to take the heat for buying and owning anything similar to what a now controversial artist would own. This bitch for a clear example.

>>638124its bad and boring.
the comments are full of twelve year olds being like "omg i'm so gay for her".
so… a typical melanie martinez release. although i think her music has gotten way worse since crybaby.

>>638124I don't hate this look in itself, she just doesn't pull it off. I usually enjoy her videos but this one's really bad.

>>638124I really liked the song actually but damn the weird sexy dance doesn't suit her style at all.
also quarantine weight gain hit her really hard, she used to be so skinny.

>>639746She debuted in 2015, I'm sure that her fans grew up. Even if she has young fans,

>>639779So, like, what's your solution? Anything not G-rated should be banned? The shit she does is more likely to scare children and give them nightmares than "normalize" anything IMO. Ariana Grande and Cardi B are arguably far worse influences.
Also, why are you acting like most of this generation wasn't singing along to shit like "My Neck, My Back" as children? Calm down, lol.
