As an aside I never stated they were female infact 3 of them were Male cheerleaders you were the one who assumed they were girls.

^^ Apologies - I wasn't specifically assigning my use of 'girls' to your story, and I could have been clearer about that. I'm more generally talking about the tendency to assign a girl as the victim in this story and a guy as the creepy mascot.

I think we just need to all remember the point here: that any human touching another human without their consent needs to straight-up stop, and we need to work on our internal FIRST community culture to end it. Maybe we could all continue the discussion without so much personal calling-out?
