Guys Defect From ‘Yeah The Boys’ FB Group As Jokes Turn To Rape Threats

Holy christ on a stick, this is a mess.

A Facebook event page for a (questionable) meet-up for fans of the wildly popular ‘Yeah The Boys‘ Facebook page has descended into a violent, misogynistic sweat-pile of abuse, and blokes are 100% done with it.

To give you the back story, the YTB Facebook page started as a joke, but quickly descended into a circle jerk of adolescent boys calling women ‘two holes’ and each other ‘cunt’. It has almost 500,000 likes.

The posts swing from the genuinely funny to the utterly fucked.

It also walks that fine line between ‘satire’ and ‘making actual threats to or about another human being’, which come to think of it isn’t a fine line at all.

Violent, misogynistic and homophobic attitudes are not harmless by any means, but things reached another level of disgusting when a few of the members decided to organise a face-to-face meet-up in Sydney later this month.

What started as an event with a few hundred members last night has exploded to more than 10,000.

“It’s literally dedicated to threatening women with death and rape threats and whenever women defend ourselves we are told to suck a dick,” a female Facebook user (whom we have chosen not to name) told PEDESTRIAN.TV. “I’ve reported it to FB several times and no none’s helping us. They say it’s a joke and there’s no such thing as rape culture but this is literally scary crazy.”

 

Since the event went bloody nuclear, other men – and we’re pleased to report a LOT of other men – have left comments on the event page, denouncing ‘the boys’ for their beyond vile attitudes. 

Other YTB members have angrily called out gross commenters for being the reason the original FB page will likely get shut down.

The YTB page claims to have nothing to do with the event.

At the time of writing, the Facebook event remains up and public.

To any gronks actually participating in this abuse, please remember that using a carrier service to menace, harm or cause offence is a criminal offence and can land you in front of a judge, whether or not you intended it as a piss-poor version of ‘satire’. Just ask Zane Alchin.
