Huh, never thought 'jumping the shark' was a thing you could intentionally try, let alone fail.

e: though I guess the term does lend itself accurately to what happened so guess they done did it

Apparently the gender reveal explosion happened because they wanted to make a small cannon that shoots out colored dust but accidentally made a pipe bomb instead. The person who was killed stood over 40 feet away and the fatal debris shot several times that distance after exiting the head.

At this point, the FBI better gets involved in case the one responsible making that cannon was secretly a white supremacist militia member. Or Agent 47.

First line in article just in case the headline doesn't give it away.

Warning: This article discusses sexual assault and violence, and includes a description of an indecent assault.

I was indecently assaulted by a man at Myer. As an 'alpha male' I've struggled with guilt and shame

Not quite sure if this qualifies as a weird headline but it's definitely odd.

I can't make fun of the poor guy as he is still struggling with coming to terms with being sexually assaulted, hopefully he'll figure out that clinging to false gender stereotypes is not helping any.

Don't feel bad if you were tricked and/or assaulted, it's not your fault.

Yeah, it's definitely not going in the schad thread. It was really the 'alpha male' thing that jumped out to make it sound odd. Absolute respect to him for getting it to court and getting a conviction, that is pretty heroic.

article linked above posted:

A 2003 study by the Australian Centre for the Study of Sexual Assault found that 84 per cent of male sexual assault victims reported concerns about their sexuality, gender roles and/or body because of their experience.

This was the angle Bonorchis' lawyer took in court as he attempted to justify his client's actions.

"Mr McAllister are you a homosexual?"

"Mr McAllister have you had any homosexual experiences before?" his lawyer asked me.

gently caress that, I'd want that lawyer charged with contempt if he did that to me. It's irrelevant and he knows it.

Allegedly, it was tape that confined the explosive.

This must be the stuff that duct tape legends are made of.

It’s good that he’s telling his story, but it is off-putting that the very first thing he feels he needs to tell us is that he’s totally alpha. That dichotomy is at the heart of why men are ashamed to speak up when they’ve been victims of sexual assault.

Tiny lol at the only dialog we get after the introductions being his assaulter telling him his rippling muscle chest is too vast to be contained by the shirt he has chosen.
