Here’s a thread on the whole #boyslockerroom incident, while this is very common they seldom get called out. I came across @NiskaNagpal’s stories on Instagram and hence posting all of them here.
A screenshot of the perpetrators active/inactive.
Note: Your inactivity doesn’t matter since you’ve been silently allowing this to happen and not take any stance about it. #boyslockerroom
Even though these have been widely circulated, it’s such a long thread that to reach a large viewership only a few have been picked out to be posted/have been put as collages which is unfair to the issue altogether since every piece of info. holds accountability. #boyslockerroom
Pointers for those who defend rape culture (disguised/undisguised):
1. This is not a new phenomenon you know it and hence you are defending it.
2. Talking about ass and tits is both common between girls and boys which is a shame since you are both perpetrators.. #boyslockerroom
../practitioners of the same culture.
3. If haven’t realised it yet just recall the numbers of times you’ve come across a statement as such.
For the girls (per say feminists) who are drivers of this movement and are accused of being homophobic, intolerant etc.:. #boyslockerroom
1. I appreciate you standing for the cause but any comment that you’ve made in the past makes it tough for anyone else to take a stance so please refrain since us acknowledging your cause is delivered as we are also acknowledging the rest of what you’ve said. #boyslockerroom
2. You practising any kind of derogatory cat calling/homophobia (there’s much more) challenges any good that you’re doing.

(Prey to this are mostly women seeking validation which is sadder since they are easy targets, which shouldn’t be. ‘YOU ARE SO MUCH MORE.’
Screenshots say how girls are trying to defend their guy friends, which is even more sad for anyone to take a stance. I do not endorse the idea of an utopian world but defending something such as this has no justification. #boyslockerroom
So the perpetrators went ahead and made another group and that just shows how ingrained rape culture is in our society. THE AUDACITY. #boyslockerroom
I came across this last night, didn’t take up social media or even voicing my opinion until it got more heated, and turned out many handles which posted about it deleted those posts by morning. (Can’t say because of the flak or authenticity) #boyslockerroom
Chose to put it down now after many questions being raised because of the no. of times I’ve come across similar statements (way less derogatory than this though which is no excuse) and made a point to call it out, this for one surely deserves way more attention. #boyslockerroom
1. This is a thread of 23 images please check it out before forming an opinion, each as clear as it could be. 2. Glad that action has been taken.
3. Thanks @NiskaNagpal @crackanksha for putting all of this down as well as you could.

4. The importance of information, sourcing is something I’ve learnt in my journalism course and for the sake of viewership I can’t jeopardise that.
5. Personal take: Calling out is necessary no.. matt er how threatened I feel now to post a picture of myself.

One of the few media houses that has covered this until now. @themojo_in @TheQuint @latestly @fpjindia 👏🏽👏🏽
The photograph attached along mentions section 66A which has been repealed, and hence there is a correction. The perpetrators are booked under Section 66E of IT Act for Cyber Bullying.

The latest update on #boyslockerroom issue.
Hoping strict action is taken, but not forgetting that the issue goes way beyond this particular group. Also attaching a simple search response on #boyslockerroom and the number of accounts that popped up.
After all that has surfaced I suggest not making this a men vs women war, when the war should be on the carriers of this mentality. #girlslockerroom #boyslockerroom
