What are your thoughts? From the thread:

So I had a short layover in Istanbul and I went out to explore the market in beyoglu.

I went to try the Turkish ice cream. And the guy put the cone in my cleavage(that too not with the stick but with his hand). And I have video proof of it.

I froze. I couldn’t react, I felt helpless, I didn’t say anything. I was weirdly smiling to mask my ‘unable to perceive’ shaken emotions. After leaving that place, it hit me. I was shaken by what just happened.

I felt disgusted, humiliated, angry, sad and more angry at myself for not standing up. I usually have a freeze response in such situations.

It was a short layover so I had to leave the next morning. I’m not in Istanbul currently. My mind is killing me for not doing anything about it and letting him get away with this.

I would do anything to get him to face some kind of consequence for the crime he has committed. Otherwise this regret of not respecting myself by not doing anything will kill me.

I am going to try emailing the tourism police, get this on social media. Not sure if I can visit there so frequently for legal processes.

My questions are-

Is it possible for this man to face punishment without me physically having to go there and file a complaint?

Will the police take it seriously?

Please suggest some tourist pages on social media that I can ask to post the video on to raise awareness.

How hectic will the legal procedures be?

Any other advice is welcome

Fuckable women haven't been invented yet.

I had this happen to me in Izmir, those men are creepy as hell. I believe her.

>>509734475 (OP)
It would help if you smear your tits in ice cream and send the photo to the police. Perhaps tear you clothing exposing your nipples so the offence is criminal.

Now send the photo here before the police so we can advise on it's likelihood of success.

>>509734475 (OP)
Oh, those annoying ice cream salesmen at it again.

>>509734475 (OP)
This is why I exclude women from most things I do. Gatekeeping can save you a lot of hassle and grief.

Ha-haa. Own fault.

Interesting. I've never been to Turkey, and I can't get an honest take from comments on reddit because they're always so irrationally one sided. I wish the misc was still around.

>>509734475 (OP)
i'd stick my cone in her cleavage if you catch my drift

>>509734475 (OP)
>Otherwise this regret of not respecting myself
well you didn't respect turkroach culture, as you had your cleavage on display. why do you deserve more respect than turkroach culture?

>>509735336
Don’t get me wrong, it was actually a beautiful country, and of course I didn’t experience that behavior everywhere. But I did get stares here and there, not too different than what I experienced in Greece and especially Italy. But I was actually assaulted similar to this in Turkey. It’s just hard to prove because physical contact is part of the gimmick, and it happens so fast. But there should definitely be areas of the body off limits. He did the same thing to my friend who was with me too.

>>509735671
Uh so many Turkish women had their ‘cleavage on display,’ especially in Istanbul. It’s that the men in these countries just think Western women, (idk the race of OP, but especially if blonde) are easy and they can get away with doing whatever they want.

>>509736162
Post Tits

>>509736378
Exposing your body has a different cultural meaning there-- if your tits are out you're sexually available. There's a certain logic to it if you squint

>>509734475 (OP)
I'm telling you its a slippery slope. women will keep pushing what is harassment to smaller and smaller things if we let them. eventually it would be harassment for any man under 6'4 to look at or say hi to them. we gotta draw the line somewhere and say no, nothing less than this point

>>509736725
They don’t treat their own women that way who were dressed worse than us.

>>509736162
oh no you bumped shoulders with a man on the street ? how awful!! he should be castrated immediately!!! how dare he touch a queen without permission!!! doesn't he know you have a vagina?!!!!!!

>>509734972
West Asians are pajeet-lite, for the most part

>>509737007
>bumped shoulders
No, the guy touched me with the stick thing right below my neck. Really borderline inappropriate.
>>509737008
Yeah.

>>509734475 (OP)
Sexual harassment as a whole is overblown, especially in the first world. You're not in danger, you're not being harmed. You just feel a little uncomfortable, but you're not 5 years old so just suck it up. If someone gets too handsy, smack them, end of. No Karen, you are not "fearing for your safety" because someone complemented your dress or stared at the cleavage you purposely revealed with your manner of dress.

You just want social capital and leverage.

>>509734475 (OP)
Don't have your tits hanging out like that if you don't want a Turkish man to place an ice cream cone between your breasts. This is common knowledge.

How do these people get through life lol?

>>509734475 (OP)
There are videos all over the net showing these guys doing their weird ice cream tricks, it's just part of the culture. It's surprising it didn't take her 3 minutes to get the cone out of his hand.

>>509737133
>the guy touched me with the stick thing right below my neck
i truly hope you kys stupid cunt

>>509737429
They shouldn’t be touching anywhere besides the head (no eye area) and arms. Anything else is uncomfortable.

>>509737622
>Anything else is uncomfortable.
>I felt disgusted, humiliated, angry, sad and more angry
Uncomfortable? She was shattered by the experience you sexist pig!

>ice-cream salesmen
Add it to the list

>>509734475 (OP)
100% she still had the ice cream. Also, what cleavage

I don't get it. The dude looks like a normie chad. I thought they get away with these things? Maybe he wasn't tall enough?

>>509734475 (OP)
>have video proof of it.
How??? Do these whores literally record every, even the most mundane, moments of their boring lives. ... OR... did she know beforehand about this guys antics, in which case she is lying about it being a shock to her.

>>509737994
No she filmed herself getting the worldfamous icecream gimmick but didnt expect the guy putting it in her cleavage.

What is it with redditors and being constantly hysterical? When they see something they dislike, 99.9% of the time they start seething and losing their mind.

>>509734972
Maybe dont go to shitskin countries, dumb fat roastie.

>>509738279
These are women

>>509738279
thats how you "white" pussies act, you deserve to go extinct.
well you're a slav monkey so not really "white".

>>509738279
Because redditors are fat slut women, fags, and trannies. Aka the groups most responsible for all the world’s gossip. That’s what they want to do to /pol/ too, turn it into a gossip rag. They know that nothing is going to happen to mudshits in mudshit countries so this is literally all just basic female whining.

>>509738324
It was part of a Greece-Turkey inclusive package my friend was getting. It would’ve cost us way more to just go to Greece at the time.

>THIS NON-CHAD DARED TOUCH ME
>REEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
Women.

>>509737994
I do wonder about that too. >>509737861
Beongs up a good point, seems like she already knew what was going to happen and just wanted to get social media followers/viewers for financial gain.

>>509737165
>If someone gets too handsy, smack them, end of.
I agree with your post, but I've seen videos where the guy will then proceed to absolutely wreck the woman, and all of the comments well be talking about she slapped him first, and how him demolishing her is about equal rights (and lefts).

I've always found that in bad taste, sort of like the girl in the OP, just the opposite. People in this thread are saying that these guys are creeps though, so idk. I've never been to the Muslim world.

>>509738279
>>509737994
It’s a form of social disease. People come to a group consensus that over-reaction is normal and it becomes expected. Similar examples are 19th century women “getting the vapors” and swooning all over the place and the “Jumping Lumberjacks” of Canada.

Fuck man I fucking hate reddit. OP is a loser cunt.

>>509738279
It's the worst group of people on the internet, which is why I made this thread. I wanted to see what other people had to say.

Back in the day the misc was gold for these sort of situations. You'd get a lot of hilarious over the top posts with the truth sprinkled in.

Based ice cream salesman

You can't harass somebody once. Harassment means to frequently bother somebody.

>>509734475 (OP)
If you are a feminist, and you're conditioned to see discrimination, sexism, and patriarchal oppression everywhere, maybe this kind a of thing really is traumatizing. If you act morally outraged and pretend that you've been grievously wounded, maybe you'll manage to convince even yourself and really start feeling hurt.
