lmao @development clearly uses the phrase "three chicks held him down and tried to rape him" - you use the term rape and you clearly ain't just talkin' about someone copin' a feel at the bar. i will insult steve as much as i feel like for being a twit who considers rape to be the same as consensual sex when it's female on male.
You aren't being fair or understanding my original statement which was later corrected after other users clarified on grammar and communication. Please refrain from bullying and derailing the OP's topic. That on top of insulting other users is against the forum's rules.
Thank you.
I called you gross because you said a gross thing. I don't feel bad about this and I know the forum's rules, but what you said was still disgusting. You said later on in the thread that you 'extrapolated' that the victim in this situation didn't feel traumatized - but considering the original post clearly use the term rape this excuse seems a hell of a lot like a backtracking when popular opinion turned against you. This wasn't just someone being frisky. This was described as assault and you were completely dismissive.
I saw that you later took back your statement, which is great, but still. Your comment. Was. Gross.
I could see where he might have been confused, even with the word "rape" being used. It's pretty common for some people to use the word where it doesn't actually mean a sexual assault, ie. "I raped him in Halo." I'm not saying the use of the word there is appropriate, just that it is often used in such a way. If the way the sentence was formed led one to think the friend didn't take it seriously, one could also interpret his use of "rape" being in jest. Once you interpret that the one who didn't take it seriously was the listener, then the speaker's use of "rape" becomes serious.
People who use a loaded word like rape in a joking context are also gross and if you hear the word and immediately think of it as a joke you are still gross. Everything is disgusting and we should probably just burn the world down tbh.
Wow. Not budging, eh? Why not take it as an opportunity to give people better context and understanding of terms in the greater lexicon? No, let's just shame them and call them disgusting. Knowledge is power, and education is a tool you can wield at any time you feel it's necessary. Just be sure to treat your pupils as human beings, which is really what this entire topic is striving to do in the first place.
