“I felt violated.” A few days before the Scudetto party in the streets of Naples, Emy Buono – one of the protagonists of the program I’m sending you to the convent – confides in her TikTok profile the reflections on the celebrations of the championship victory to Neapolitan team. A moment that should have been just a celebration, but has become a cause of heartache and fear for the 22-year-old. “I’m pretty sad these days given all the criticism I’ve received. I felt raped. It’s true that I stripped naked, but I didn’t want to let people eat my body. “It seemed a bit excessive that people kissed and touched my ass,” the 22-year-old writes on her social profiles. Buono’s message is clear: the euphoria of the celebrations is fine, but without exaggerating. “A woman who strips naked does not let a man get away with being raped,” says the influencer in the video. Still, not everyone seems to be sharing their criticism on social media. And indeed, they’re pointing the finger at Buono’s decision to strip (almost completely) out during the celebrations. “Years and years of feminism thrown down the toilet…” writes one user. Or even: “Here he found another excuse to strip down” and “It’s normal for men to treat us like cannon fodder.” Finally, the request to better calibrate the words: “Be careful when using the word ‘rape.’ “ Use it’s something else! Getting ahead in life doesn’t mean getting undressed, even for a Scudetto. Allegations to which the influencer responded point-by-point by posting Treccani’s definition of the word ‘rape’, commenting: “If you touch me without me asking you, it means rape, coercion, rape.” Be explicit!” .
