Unfortunately, these words don't carry as much weight when people say the law is what determines whether or not someone was raped.

If this exact same thing occurred in a jurisdiction that allows it, would you all still be saying he couldn't give consent? Those jurisdictions exist, you know.

Maybe you people shouldn't use the law as a panacea only when it supports your case.

Sorry you're afraid of reality.

I have provided reasons, although I also don't need to.

I'm guessing you wouldn't be this upset if I said Metal Gear Rising is good without providing reasons?

They don’t have the mental capacity to understand whether they are doing it voluntarily or being coerced.

This applies to many adults, as well.

What if he was in a jurisdiction where it was legal for him to have sex?

Then would he be able to consent to it?

The sexes absolutely do matter because males are different than females.

Is it rape if he consented to it?

When does he become an adult? You can use numbers to be more specific instead of vague words like "child" and "adult."

I know plenty of people who would consider themselves adults, but they have the mentality of children. Should they be allowed to consent?

When do you think he would be capable of providing consent?

Why do we call them settlers and not invaders?

Religious nationalism is disgusting.

He is a rape victim, because he could not provide free, informed consent.

Why not?

I know a lot of people who are disconnected from/afraid of reality don’t want to ask or answer questions like these

Never fails.

Gonna ignore you now.

Not really. You're just upset because I dared to be critical of something you and the bandwagon like.

Unfortunately, the snowball effect has taken hold so those who cannot think for themselves will never realize it.

I rest my case.

You think he's still a victim even if he doesn't regret it for the rest of his life?

Keep finding ways to justify your enjoyment of a mediocre product.

As long as you're part of the bandwagon, you're in company.

Right. There's no discussion to be had because he's not arguing in good faith.

The only solution is to block him and move on. Hopefully you'll understand this when you're older.

In all honesty though, you're just getting mad at me because I blocked someone that agreed with you. It's sad you're not genuine enough to admit it so I have to admit it for you.

Probably going to block you too, but let's see how you respond to this.

Lol, I can tell you're getting upset about this so I'm just gonna block you.

No room for dysfunctional discussions like these where you're only saying what sounds nice in your head, regardless of what the other person is saying.

If not, would it be fair to say this is a victimless crime?

Did you miss this part?

I wonder if the student will come to regret this later if he hasn't already.

If not, would it be fair to say this is a victimless crime?

I know a lot of people who are disconnected from/afraid of reality don't want to ask or answer questions like these, but it's important to keep in mind that we don't speak for or make decisions for everyone else.

Personally, I look back at my youth and think I would've been a lot happier if I had sex earlier rather than later, even if it was with one of my hot teachers (which I had quite a few of!) It took me so long to find acceptance that I now have plenty of dangerous mental health issues because of it, issues that my peers who had sex before it was legal certainly do not have to deal with.

I hope this lad can see things for what they are, and not what other people want him to see to fulfill their agenda.

"If ever it seems there's not enough to go around, blame those who have too much."

I wonder if the next generation is going to have the balls to take, by force, inherited wealth.

Keep in mind, the children of these oligarchs expect our children to serve them. That's not really fair, is it?
