Paladin: the Rape Grandfather

Not content with locking children in cages, @Paladin admits his own grandchildren are the product of rape:

What? I have grandchildren?

Another bonus from all that rapin'!

Don't lean into this, Dayton

Fundamental principle of debate: If you have to violently distort what someone said to make your point, you don't have a point.

Any questions?

You really are a huge piece of shit aren’t you? Un-fucking-believeable. Read the statement again and re-read it again until you understand it. And you call me a child. Wow!

It seems like a completely uncontroversial statement...

What am I missing? Is this more MeToo shenanigans?

So we’ve all done something that would be fine with consent, but assault without?
Okay and?

rape - the gift that keeps on giving? Quite a few years ago Chris Rock said something to the effect of every-single-thing being related to "sexual harassment/assault" and that he himself wouldn't be here if his dad hadn't pursued his mother.

The more you interact with leftists, the more you will come to see this is their only debating tactic. And it isn't even a tactic, it's how they truly feel. Just ask Packard.

No. You're not really missing anything. It's just another example of how the idiots like Worf and Shirogayne twist the words of what people on the right say in order to make those people look bad.

Did you just self identify as a leftist?

Okay, Karen.

Ffs, there is nothing in that statement by Paladin to imply what you're trying to do. Calm down @Fisherman's Worf

I missed the original post, so I'm not sure what the intended point was, but the only thing this post means is that sex without consent is rape. Which is pretty much the dictionary definition, so I'm unclear on the controversy ...

In the context of the original post, Paladin argues that a woman not actively resisting sexual assault constitutes implied consent. If she "lets" you do it, then it's no big deal to Paladin.

I certainly hope he's not in a management position at his job.

Number one lesson here,

Paladin's post:

"Actually, no one has brought credible charges of sexual assault against Trump. If they had, it would be featured 24/7 on CNN.

You may think the "grab 'em by the p***y" remark is an admission, but you have to consider his immediately following statement: "they let you do it," implying consent. Hard for some to accept, but rich and famous guys like Trump have women vying to be with them. Look at his wives. He's obviously had a pretty good selection over the years.

Every sexually active guy has done something with a woman that would be considered sexual assault were her consent not implied or expressed."​

Is it me, or does "Paladin: the Rape Grandfather", seem like it should be a story in Workshop?

I'm picturing Paladin opening his black cloak which has a dimension portal inside, and his rape grandchildren come scurrying out with red glowing eyes.
The boys have propeller beanies, and the girls have bows with skulls for the clasps.

Shit, that thing just writes itself, don'it?

Did you say this when Sokar and Captain X and the rest of the right painted @14thDoctor as a pedo for saying there's been missteps in the Roman Polanski case, by chance?

"They let you do it" doesn't imply consent. "They want you to do it" implies consent. "They let you do it" just means they didn't resist, and that's the defense of every rapist whose victim didn't fight back.

Really, technically, a roofied woman "lets you do it".

Isn't alcohol the original way to turn no into a yes? Roofies are bad, but buying her drinks until she says yes is romance.

All I know is that if john cusack is on my lawn with a boombox singing some peter gabriel I am fucking him before my sister notices. It was his fault for not being specific.

I came across one story about a girl who slept with her boyfriend in middle school because he'd badgered her for weeks until he decided to flip a coin to settle it. And...well.

While this is an extreme example, the whole thing about girls sleeping with guys to shut them up is depressingly common.

How many women would sleep with Sting? In one song he is threatening suicide to guilt her into sleeping with him while her brother is going to kill him for stalking her after she said no. In another song he is a teacher fucking his students. On top of that he wrote the best stalker song ever. The warning signs are there, but women still throw their panties at him.

Okay, but that negates nothing I just said, which is that a lot of people interpret "No means no" as "No means nag and weddle and wear her down until she says yes," which is a legitimate problem.

Oh, this was in defense of those remarks?

Yeah, implied consent doesn't work when that implication comes from someone "letting you do it" entirely because of the power dynamic at play.

Women that want to keep their jobs/protect their careers, too.

Yes. And that's why @Paladin removed the "I don't even ask" from his paraphrase, and put the "implied or expressed" weasel wording into his rape apology.
