          I do kinda hate how stuff like this has the same term as someone physically forcing themself onto someone else. It’s all bad but one is sooo much worse

            No point discussing nuance about these topics mate.

            If you disagree with the crowd they’ll just call you a p3do or ragist

              But the age of consent can vary over literal miles. A person in the US can be legally banging in one spot but if it happened a few miles over the state border then it’s now rape… Lumping that in with forceful rape is just wild and diminishes one of the actual worst offenses a human being can commit.

                No it literally doesn’t because it’s not a competition. Unless the point your making is that an adult having sex with a minor isn’t that bad of a crime, which in that case turn yourself in bro

              Minors? Why is the line at 18? An 18 yo fucking a 17 yo is rape no matter what? What about a 17yo fucking another 17yo? Is it double rape because neither can give consent?

                Bro a comment like this makes it hard to believe you’ve ever had a sexual experience. Now please don’t feel pressured to correct me because I’m also guessing you’re a child.

              It’s not a competition, it’s the idea that physically forcing yourself upon somebody who is explicitly rejecting consent vs being with someone who is of the age that they cannot legally consent all falls under the same legal definition of rape, when one implies more violence than the other. It’s all gross either way

              Someone being held down and forced on against their will isn’t the same thing as some ditzy 17 yr old white girl getting involved with some 20 yr old rich athlete haha

          “Statutory rape is nonforcible sexual activity in which one of the individuals is below the age of consent”

            Age of consent in Australia is as low as 16, so I guess Giddey just messed up by coming to the US.

          statutory rape and forcible rape are different things sure with different levels of punishment, but both are predatory behaviors regardless.
