actively promotes an environment that fosters rape. Rape culture--widespread acceptance of the crime, blaming victims instead of perpetrators, and low conviction rates exist because of crap like that. MRAsmas are rape culture, even if they themselves don't rape. When someone looks at the rape epidemic and worries more about his bruised ego than victims, he shows his absolute disregard for the lives of safety and women and in so doing actively perpetuates rape culture. In contrast, this group of young men from FSU actually like women. They seek to eradicate rape culture rather than prop it up.
