“Many girls were completely terrified and had tremendous anxiety attacks because they were suffering this in silence,” she told Reuters at the time. “They felt bad and were afraid to tell and be blamed for it.”
WTF?!
Spain is a pretty Catholic country, and even if religious attendance is dropping off, the ingrained beliefs can still remain. Madonna/Whore dichotomy still is very prevalent in certain parts of society there.
Spain is a pretty Catholic country
Hasn't been in decades. No one in Spain gives a flying fuck about religion. Even the ones that go on processions and whatnot only do it because it's traditional, and because they like dressing up and wearing silly hats.
The kids didn't tell because they're kids. They thought they'd be blamed for it because kids get blamed for everything, and because they know their parents don't understand how generative “AI” works and would believe they were actually taking naked pictures and circulating them themselves.
pretty Catholic
I don't know what led you to believe that, but just look at wikipedia, only 56% of the population is catholic, 37.5% being non practising (and, in my experience as a spaniard, agnostic) and 16% actually practising.
You read the first 6 words of my comment and just ignored the rest of it. Tell me why Holy Week is one of the biggest events in Spain even though "only" half the population is Catholic.
The whole point I was making was that even if people identify as atheists, agnostics, or non-practicing, the remnants of the Catholic mindset and culture remain, including the misogyny inherent to most organized religions.

Welcome to Christianity.
If a man sexually exploits a woman, it's the woman's fault for leading him astray.
This is how women are treated in deeply Christian communities.
Those women fear stepping forward to report assault or abuse because there are many in their community that will condemn them for it.
Welcome to religion at large
