Yo, everybody, what's up, what's up, what's up?
This is Neogentrix on Thoughts If It Were You.
I know it's been a while since I've been on here,
but, you know, life happens. I am still a school
student, and I'm kind of proud to be, because
of all the stuff that you can learn. Ha ha! Anyway,
I'm back with a new topic, just like I said I
would be. I know it's been a month since the
last time I record, but here we go, regardless
of that. so one of the topics we're going to
cop uh go ahead and cover is date right it is
a very common thing and is very very dangerous
as it is it encompasses both male and female
for those who only assume that it only happens
to females you might want to consider again because
this does happen to guys especially desperate
ones such as my uh such as people or nerds so
oh well that's a good way to put it nerds geeks
basically anyone who's pretty much desperate
uh this can end up happening to them and walking
into a trap uh because they are not just sadistic
men there are sadistic and obsessive women as
well so if i had to go by definition here date
rape is a fast growing phenomenon especially
in pubs and nightclubs the essential idea is
that you you know you spike you spike a target's
drink with some type of sedative drug usually
uh ghb or Really, uh, I don't know how to pronounce
this word, but, oh well. Uh, Rofanol. I guess
that's how it's pronounced. And wait for them
to become, you know, affected or semi -unconscious.
You know, this is how they usually do it. At
this point, you know, you offer to help the virtually
incapacitated victim home or to a taxi. Obviously,
nobody will be suspicious as the victim appears
to simply be heavily intoxicated or such. Uh,
having taken the victim to a seduced spot, you
proceed to rape them. The effect of the drug
ensures that they can offer no resistance. and
or remembrance of the experienced or the assailant.
So due to the nature of the crime, it's up to
80 % of date rapes. The victim knows the rapist
pretty well, but most often than not, they can't
remember or they're afraid to say. So the first
thing I have to say based on that is don't leave
your drinks unattended as you may get date raped
regardless of this. And this information, while
it was published a good couple of years ago,
is still very valid even today. Keep this in
mind, that even the most innocent of people,
this can happen too. And even if they don't spike
your drink, the issue that still lies with those
who can get heavily intoxicated when they go
out to drink and get drunk. While you may think
you're still in control, keep in mind you may
not be. And this applies to anyone. So before
I focus on further information on date rape,
let me first give a slight background into this
a little bit further, okay? First off, rape.
It's basically sex you don't agree to, including
forcing a body part or object into the vagina
area, rectum, or half, or mouth. Yes, I said
mouth. Date rape is when you are raped by someone
you know, like a boyfriend, and both are still
considered crimes. While rape is not about sex,
it is the act of power by the rapist and is always
wrong. Date rape drugs which often have no smell
or taste can be given to you even without you
even knowing at parties or clubs. Especially
where alcohol is served. Alcohol can make you
less aware of danger and make you less able to
think clearly and even resist sexual assault.
If you are given a date rape drug, you may not
even be able to say no to unwanted sex and you
may not even be able to clearly remember what
happened. Remember, even if you were drinking,
it's not your fault, okay? And then on that note...
While alcohol does make you oblivious to these
drugs, and even if they're there, or even what
the other person does, keep in mind that during
this point, you're so happy you're on cloud nine,
you'll agree to pretty much anything, okay? So
while that being said, keep in mind this is also
really closely related to sexual assault, okay?
And sexual assault and abuse is any kind of sexual
activity that you basically don't agree to, okay?
This includes inappropriate touching, vaginal,
anal, or even oral sex, sex that you say no to,
rape, attempted rape, or even child molestation.
Yes, it would even go that far, okay? Sexual
assault can be verbal, visual, or anything that
forces a person to join in unwanted sexual contact
or attention. Examples of this would be considered
voyeurism, when someone watches private sexual
acts, exhibitionism, when someone exposes him
or herself in public, incest, which is basically
sexual contact between family members, and even
sexual harassment. It can happen in different
situations, by a stranger in isolated places,
excuse me on a date or even at home by somebody
you know it's very very possible that this can
happen to anybody so I'm gonna go ahead copy
comment on this real quick okay one thing some
things you should know okay what I what i know
about rape drugs in the first place okay i know
about this for the sake of keeping myself safe
because i don't go to parties or anything of
that nature okay i don't drink alcohol i don't
drink stuff from random people if i don't know
where it came from i just don't drink it okay
or eat it for that matter and you all know i
love food okay Date rape drugs are commonly used
to sexually assault any person. The drug often
has no color, smell, taste, or easily can be
added to drinks without victims even knowing.
These drugs usually cause a person to become
helpless. They can hardly move and are not able
to protect themselves from being hurt. The people
who have been given these drugs say they feel
paralyzed and couldn't see well and had blackouts,
problems talking, confusion, dizziness. Date
rape drugs can even cause death. That's the worst
case scenario, okay? It's hard to know whether
a party, concert, or even a club that you go
to or plan to go to will be dangerous. Drugs
may not be at every party you go to, but you
should still have a plan keeping yourself and
your friends safe no matter what, okay? This
is why me not drinking is a good thing. I don't
have to worry about this, but I do have to worry
about my friends in the process, okay? So I'm
going to go ahead and cover this for the sake
of them and anyone else who wants to know. Say
no to alcohol, okay? Have water or soda instead.
Open your own drinks. Don't have anyone else
do that. Next, don't let other people hand you
drinks, okay? On that note, keep your drinks
with you at all times, even when you go to the
bathroom. Disgusting as that sounds, it's better
it's with you than by itself. Also, don't share
drinks. I don't know how many times I have to
tell people this, but sharing drinks can cause
an infinite number of possibilities to happen.
For one, you don't even know where that person's
been or if they've been drugged already, and
it just shares from their cup to yours, okay?
Don't drink punch from punch bowls or other large,
common, open containers, as they may already
have the drugs in it, okay? Don't drink anything
that tastes, looks, or smells strange. Sometimes
GHB has a salty taste to it, but you won't know
until you get near it. Also, go to a party club
or concert with someone you trust, such as a
friend or an older brother or sister. And in
some people's case, your parents, if they're
party people. Be careful, okay? Stay away from
party drugs. They can be pills, liquids, or even
powders. These drugs can also leave you disoriented
and completely vulnerable. You don't know what's
going to happen to you.
