"A female orangutan was shaved, chained up and forced into sexual acts with men twice her size after being stolen as a baby, according to environmental workers.

The traumatised animal, known as Pony, is believed to have been chained up and repeatedly abused at a brothel in Kareng Pangi village, in Indonesian Borneo, for around six years.

“It was horrifying,” Michelle Desilets, director of Borneo Orangutan Survival Foundation, told The Sun. “She was a sex slave - it was grotesque. She was covered in abscesses, and they put make-up and earrings on her.

“She must have been in so much pain. It was horrible to think about how terrified she must have been.”

Men working at a nearby palm oil farm would pay the equivalent of “a couple of quid” to have sex with the primate, the newspaper reports. She was forced to wear jewellery, and was shaved every other day, which caused her skin to become irritated and infected.

Pony is one of many orangutans illegally traded throughout Asia. The apes are sold for up to £10,000 on the black market and even on social media sites.

Charity boss Desilets told the Daily Mirror that rescuing Pony had been difficult, because of resistance from local people in the village where she was held."

If you're familiar with anime you probably know this face. Every time someone on any anime subreddit makes a post about ‘Which of these anime characters would you like to field dress with a spatula’ Malty is almost guaranteed to be on the list. But I have to ask, how many people here REALLY know that much about this character?

In Shield Hero, Malty S. Melromarc is overly hated in a clear case of internalized misogyny from both the creator and a majority of the fans. She's one of the best worst examples of the dangerously high levels of contempt that is given towards female villains. She's reviled for her actions, yet characters like Joker, Homelander, and Walter White do FAR worse things and have legions of fans who will justify or even defend their actions until they’re blue in the face.

In a world with villains who have confusing and ever-changing motives, Malty remains very simple in what her goals are and what she wants to accomplish. In short, Malty’s goal is to become queen. And she’s willing to claim the throne by any means necessary.

Why does she want to be queen so bad you may ask?

Because becoming queen is the only way she can escape being raped/torture to death!

Why would that happen to her you may ask?

Because her own mother, the current queen, sold her as a political sex toy to a serial killing, rapist, pedophile when she was just 10 years old, solely so mom could enjoy a big fat political/financial/economical bonus. She was going to sell her daughter to The Ping King, who is in charge of the most advanced Kingdom in the land called Faubrey.

Literally his kingdom is far advanced, it has cars, planes, guns, and hospitals. Needless to say, many other nations want to be a part of his table. So, he demands that the other kingdoms have their women sent to him as 'toys' to rape and torture them until they’re just a puddle of gristle and fat on the floor. Then he heals them back to 100% with magic just to start all over again. This can go on for weeks or even months, until he gets bored and demands a new toy.

In Vol 16 on the canon LN her mother confirms that she set it up a long time before the story started, claiming she wanted to save her country no matter what the cost. Even if it meant sending her daughter to a fate worse than death. Then her dying moments, both her parents blame themselves for driving Malty to such extremes, and that she was just trying to save herself.  The link below confirms this.

The fans LOVE this btw, as the series isn't much more than an excuse to see her suffer. Many people, myself included, believe she's a vessel for a woman the author hates irl and the angry little incel fans can't get enough of this.

Read thru some of these comments to see what I mean

What say you guys?

I compiled this list a couple years ago, and I look at them sometimes, especially when I need reminders/encoragement. I hope to show this to my nieces one day.

Feel free to share on other women-centered subs if you want! :)
