Upper Caste rapist, Lower Caste rapist is fine but Hindu and Muslim rapist is not!!!
Everyone hs selective standards around communalizing n identity marking crimes. N it has become competitive now.
These tropes were created when 'lynching' was used based on identity of victims! https://twitter.com/shahid_siddiqui/status/1311493705635749888
Crimes are motivated by religion and caste based identities and need to be called out like that, only then.
But through the whole 'lynching' saga everyone saw how cause was forgotten and only identity of victims and perps stood out.
So deal with the monster of ur own making.
Sadly, this s what the whole outrage cycle around gender based crimes has been reduced to.
Finding ur preferred kind of identities in the victim or the perpetrator column n then outraging accordingly.
Motive can be manipulated enough to fit narratives.
That is our reality now.
We saw the same pattern play out in Kathua.
Was even attempted in Hyderabad.
And honestly the amount of attention media gives to reporting cases, also depends on the identities of people involved.
We are deep in the rabbit hole now. https://twitter.com/pratyasharath/status/1155009142106419200?s=20
