Scarier than a slasher flick: The “Fantasy League” at one high school was a sexual fantasy league used to slut shame girls. | Source: ShutterStock
In the case of this particular fantasy league, we hate the players and the game.
Just in time for Halloween, something absolutely horrifying came to light in a California high school. A group of pervy guys at Piedmont High School, close to San Francisco, are in big trouble following the fantasy league they created. It’s not for football or baseball, but there is scoring involved.
These jackasses created a sexual fantasy league, affectionately dubbed a “Fantasy Slut League.” They “drafted” girls, and if they documented any sexual activity with these girls, they scored (in more ways than one). (An uh, we don’t even want to get into the “documented” part–there could be a slew of child pornography charges at play there.) Here’s what’s really scary: Not only did most of the girls not know they were part of a sick game, but reports are saying these guys actually got the girls drunk to get more points. Because, you know, sexual objectification, sexual harassment, slut shaming, and date rape are all part of a game.
Incidentally, the news broke when the school principal sent a letter out to parents notifying them of the fantasy league, which apparently had been going on online for about five or six years. Five or six years. Apparently students tipped off school administrators after a date rape prevention assembly.
While it’s unclear who specifically was behind the “slut” fantasy league, reports say that it’s linked to the school athletes. Problem is, about 75 percent of the guys at Piedmont High School are involved in some sort of sports, so that doesn’t narrow it down much–and it’s unfair to lump all of them into something like this when chances are it was only a few jerks behind it.
While it’s great that the school is addressing the fantasy league and the slut shaming it promotes, it might not be doing enough. The principal explained, “While off-campus activities are not subject to school discipline, because it involves our students, it involves us. At this point, because we do not have specifics about participants or victims, our focus is on education and understanding moving forward, not discipline for past activities.”
While obviously no one can really be punished at school for things they do outside of it, if any criminal activity went down, it’s something that really needs to be addressed and investigated, if not through the high school, then by law enforcement. If victims of the fantasy league don’t think anything will happen to the people behind it, they may have little incentive to come forward and heal. Further, other people may not take the school’s stance seriously if nothing is done to curb or investigate the league’s origins or participants–and that can just open up the fantasy league for another season.
The sexual health, self esteem, and integrity of everyone involved in a sexual fantasy league–especially those who don’t know they’re even participating–are nothing to play around with.
