You'd also expect there to be an online footprint of this - kits being available for sale on the dark web, weirdo forums posting guides on how to do it etc - in the modern world. Either no one reporting it has thought to investigate this or they do not exist. Also when did believing women go from believing women have suffered sexual violence (which we should of course do) to accepting the exact method by which they believe they were forcibly intoxicated despite there being no evidence to support it.

Aladdin Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 As with anything that seems to be based on unverified reports spreading like wildfire on social media, I don't think you are contributing to the problem by having a degree of scepticism. It seems like there has been limited number of these incidents likely coupled with an increase in traditional spiking of drinks. Throw in a conservative home secretary demanding urgent answers and you have your moral panic. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Throw in a conservative home secretary demanding urgent answers and you have your moral panic. An Aberdeen uni student was reported having been spiked recently and the uni were fairly quick in firing out a blanket email about it on Monday (can't remember the last time I saw one about it anyway). Thankfully the uni managed it in a decently worded way, unlike Durham uni who got it spectacularly wrong in a (now) high profile way. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
velo army Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 46 minutes ago, scottsdad said: The logic on this thread has taken a wild turn. Women are stating that they are having drinks spiked and in a few cases a small injection mark. This is neither new or original but has been going on for years and years. As much as we try to stamp it out, it still goes on. It is difficult to prove as these drugs get metabolised relatively quickly and the victim has no memory of the incident or what happens afterwards. But hey, they posted on social media so it must all be lies to get attention, right? Come on man, you're better than this obtuse rubbish. Nobody is saying that spiking doesn't happen (although I'd wager it happens far less than is reported tbqhwy) but they're calling into question the idea that people are cutting about clubs injecting people, and quite right too given the unlikelihood of it all. Taking people seriously and compassionately is one thing, taking what they say at face value without scrutiny, and ignoring the wisdom of your own experience is irresponsible. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just remember a story about it when I was in Wales, that it had been happening at a student union somewhere in England. We discussed it in the department at the time as it was a student safety issue and (as you would expect) people were worried that it would happen at our Uni. I cannot for the life of me remember where I read about it otherwise I'd search for it. But the term used was "microinjection". It was seen as a step on from drinks spiking and was what worried folk. Never heard of it again until this news. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Detournement Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 You are literally the P&B Da! Microinjections are used to do IVF and other cellular implants. Your story is utter nonsense but not it's surprising that it comes from an academic. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vikingTON Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 1 hour ago, scottsdad said: Both - spiking drinks which is far more common that folk realise, and microinjections. I recall a cluster of cases in the mid-2000s that hit the news somewhere down south. Students getting targeted on nights out at the union. As we're literally establishing right now with this story, just because something makes the news does not mean it is an authentic event. What are the police estimates for 'microinjections' as a source of spiking incidents? How many people have been charged and convicted of this act over the past 20 years? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Satoshi Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 15 hours ago, Detournement said: Because it's not credible and there is no evidence for it. The girl doing the interviews has a pin p***k size mark on her arm and didn't bother to get a urine or blood test done. This is only being taken more seriously than clowns or razor blades on flumes because it fits an existing narrative. There was a similar urban legend about 'Seagulling' at halls of residences a few years ago that got traction in the media for the same reasons. Not exactly similar (as consensual rather than abuse) but the origin of sex myths and the hysteria surrounding them is quite an interesting phenomenon https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rainbow_party_(sexuality) In both the UK and the US teen pregnancy is the lowest it has ever been since records began (and likely the lowest it has ever been full stop). Teens these days take far less drugs and consume less alcohol than their parents. Yet the hysteria remains. As for the spiking - no real comment, like anything else any credible reports need to be investigated as it is a criminal offence. For various reasons stated above, injecting people in nightclubs does not seem credible (although I saw someone injection heroin in the bathroom of the Jockey Club in Rio once). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gordon EF Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 There was hysteria about folk getting spiked years ago when I was in first year at uni. It felt like every other person had some story about getting spiked, or knew someone who thought they'd been spiked. I'm not doubting for a second it happens and I don't doubt most of the folk claiming it's happened to them genuinely believe that but I think there's more than a reasonable chance a lot of it is teenagers who can't really handle drink too well blacking out from drink and then trying to rationalise that in the context of hysteria and urban myths floating around about spiking. It doesn't lend too much credibility to the theory of hoards of micro-injecting spikers cutting about that most of the stories are coming from freshers a few weeks into uni. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have to suffer the default response to them going public about their ordeal, responders who are almost exclusively men, of derision, doubt, attacks on their character and accusations of attention seeking. You can spot a c**t a mile off by their attitudes to other people and unsurprisingly, most of them have dicks. ^^^ Facebook for this virtue-signalling pish 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
