false rape accusations vary in reasons. From psychotic to social conditioning. Mostly, lack of one's ability to assume responsibility and dealing with fuck ups.
Most of the time, you're right. But because they are human beings, they do fucked up shit sometimes. As noted in the Duke Lacrosse case and other cases, women do falsely accuse rape knowing that everyone will rally to the "victims" side, and cause a tremendous amount of pain for the accused, regardless of the evidence.A girl's not going to accuse someone of rape just for the hell of it, because she has second thoughts about fucking or because she's bored or whatever. They're human beings, for fuck's sake.
Problem is, that ain't the view most have, and it's only perpetuating more with the bullshit that spreads over the interwebs. Good luck fighting your fight, brahHmmm... "all those" meaning whom, exactly? I appear to be the only one presenting an alternate point of view in this thread, do I fall into "all those"? Strange, I did specifically say that a woman who tries to take advantage of a drunk guy for sex could very well face rape charges. Is it wrong to say that men are more often than not the instigators of sexual interaction? Is this an unfair point to bring up? I ask again (because nobody ventured a guess the first time), guess who's trying to change this shit? (Hint: It sure as fuck isn't you.)
Wait a second... are you saying that if someone chooses to drink they are complicit in their rape? That if someone doesn't want to get raped, they shouldn't "choose" (yes, choose) to drink? You can't possibly be making a point that stupid, but that's exactly what your words are saying.
Most of that probably has to do with outright ignorance of the facts of the case, and people confusing the initial incident itself (which may or may not have been consensual, depending on who you believe) with the distribution of child pornography and/or the rampant bullying that followed and resulted in her suicide. That was certainly the case with my opinions on the matter prior to you schooling me awhile back.yeah, it turned out ok. Crown Attorney outright rejected the case because there wasn't enough evidence to support her case but people are crying about "injustice" and failings of justice system.... I am completely puzzled.
No, there's some injustice there, just likely not in terms of rape. A girl hung herself because she made a drunken mistake at a party and dozens of people drove her to suicide. Some of those people ought to face some consequences.Haast_sl said:Ahh, I see your point. I see no injustice, seems like the legal system sorted it properly.
Is that even true? The wording posted in the first page of this thread said "incapacitated". There's a range of mental states in between "sober as a judge" and "passed out drunk".GoingBackToCali_sl said:Consent cannot be given under alcoholic influence
Unless I misread, they did. Two of them were charged for distributing the pic, which was the catalyst for the problem.No, there's some injustice there, just likely not in terms of rape.

People are legally allowed to drink as much as they want as long as they don't cause a disturbance. People are not legally allowed to rape. To say that someone who drinks should take responsibility for being raped is fucking retarded. That's basically the same thing as saying that if a girl gets drunk at a party, she should assume she's going to be raped (otherwise she shouldn't have gotten drunk, right?). Now who's perpetuating the weak woman and the big bad man stereotype? Shouldn't anybody be able to drink and not have to worry about getting raped, regardless of gender? Sounds to me like you're arguing that guys should be allowed to, evenexpected torape if the girl is drunk enough, since she's at least partly to blame, right? Idiot.Nobody is forcing you to drink, it's your choice - but here again we havepeople trying to absolve themselves of their own responsibility
The harassment extended a lot further than just the two guys who took and sent the pic out. Again, dozens of people taunted her mercilessly long after the incident, to the point that she attempted suicide multiple times. Finally she got close enough when she hung herself that the family pulled the plug because of brain damage.Unless I misread, they did. Two of them were charged for distributing the pic, which was the catalyst for the problem.
Is there more to it that the article didn't cover?
What would you want to charge these kids with? For facilitating a suicide?No, there's some injustice there, just likely not in terms of rape. A girl hung herself because she made a drunken mistake at a party and dozens of people drove her to suicide. Some of those people ought to face some consequences.
How do you charge minors with such crimes?She was getting dozens of requests for sex through text, Facebook, and other social media. This is a 15 year old girl, at the time.
