It's hard to vent all of your hatred for women and minorities when you're restricted to 140 characters, and writing 1/? 2/? on all of your posts has got to get tiring.

A lot of people don't realize they can just reply to themselves so they make separate comments too, that get individual up and down votes so you wind up with like ten different 1/? stories going on by different people.

Huh. I totally get a "this poo poo never happened but I know it will get tons of upvotes, especially if I say I don't care if I get downvotes" feeling from this. Different strokes, I guess :shrug:

I get more of a "way more poo poo happened than is being let on" vibe than a pure stdh one. It's framed like he never even knew the girl or talked to her or looked at her and she just made up rape accusations against him one day. Is that possible? Yeah in an extremely minute case. But if that was true, I'd be explicitly stating that poo poo as opposed to whitewashing over any existing contact they've had.

It this context it is a positive, but when these guys use it, they're saying "ignore all accusations because some have been false, because lying bitches right".

My experience with people who have extremely lovely views is that they start with something fundamentally good, like this, and run so far with them they end up no where near the original intent.

These guys, for example, take the 'innocent until proven guilty' combined with our fairly lovely way of handling rape accusations, and feel that an accusation is as assumption of guilt, so no one should ever be accused.

They should be fighting to ensure that such cases are handled with discretion, so innocent peoples names are not dragged through the dirt until guilt is proven, instead, imo, but idiots will be idiots.

What does this mean? The difference between violent rape and tricking someone into sex rape?

Because there is a difference, one of these things has the added element of assault and battery, likely causing significant physical trauma in addition to the psychological trauma.

That's true, but that doesn't make the latter not rape. These kind of people often try to paint the justice system as being unfair and biased because it counts both these things as "the same" (IE as rape) despite the fact that (in the US at least) rapes that fall into the first category usually have additional violent crime charges associated with them meaning that people who get convicted of violent "traditional" rape often go down harder and get much worse sentences than people who get charged with the more common (and again, still very bad) "peer pressure" style rape offenses.

Yea, exactly. To the people we're talking about here, RAPE is when some stranger (probably black) attacks a young woman on her way home and it violated. On the other hand, rape is when a girl is drunk or stoned and you use that to have sex with her, or she doens't put out for you on a date but you force yourself on her or a million other situations that are way more common than the above, it's not as bad as the first one, and it for sure shouldn't be something that's a big deal.

Basically it's only RAPE if you don't like the person accused. It's not rape-rape if the attacker is a famous actor or sports player, or has a lot of money.

I'm not saying that is a reasonable response, or that people with that opinion make up a majority of feminists/rape victim advocates, just that it is inevitable.

I don't exactly have a list, but there are some people/groups that want to remove things like intensive cross-examination of rape victims. it's not exactly a part of the court system, but there's also the recent hullabaloo about expelling people from american universities for being accused.

Rape discussions are loving abysmal all across the internet, but I was involved in one like a month or two ago in D&D and people were literally saying people accused of rape should be presumed guilty 100% of the time, not joking or being hyperbolic, so he's not wrong even if he's coming from a really dumb and gross place

And this wasn't a "believe the victim because it's hosed up to be lovely to a possible rape victim", it was full on "you should be guilty unless you prove you didn't rape them" because of how hard it can be get to get a rape charge to stick
