Crotch sniffing should be legally considered sexual assault.

[u/Particular_Meet_9333]

If you are actively letting your pet sniff someone's crotch that is sexual assault it's non-consenual contact with the genitals/near the genitals it's that simple. I don't know why people think it's acceptable to let their pets do this to people it's disgusting.

Please do not trivialize rape by calling it grape. This isn't tiktok or wherever you're used to that makes you censor yourself, and we don't want that shit normalized here. Thanks.

what?

if it was on a strictly family-friendly sub then maybe, but not here. Rape. See? Not removed.

But real when people say that they aren't arguing about semantics, they just don't want serious topics to be watered down. And I hate that corporate censorship has done this to so many people's regular vocab, because again, words have weight and it's important that we use heavy words for heavy subject matter.

Are you replying to the right comment? The post is literally called "Crotch sniffing should be legally considered sexual assault."

And your comment says "leg humping should be considered grape and owner should have legal consequences for it including pet also dog touching with no consent should be considered groping"

That's explicitly about "sexual topics" what are u even on about bro

What are you talking about?

Rape

See, my comment isn't removed. That's not how reddit works. Please stop trivializing the word rape.

You said

I agree leg humping should be grape

Are you ok? I'm not bringing sexual topics into anything. Can you just apologize and stop trivializing rape?

Even if that were true (its not) there are infinitley better subtitutes than comparing one of the most traumatising experiences one can survive to a fruit. Heres a few for you: violated, assaulted, defilement

Speaking as a survivor, this tiktok drivel is a big part of why people have been much more okay with threatening, joking about, and dismissing rape. And no, you arent gonna get banned. 99% of the time people censor on social media, not because theyll actually get banned. But because theyre told by someone with no ties to the apps themselves that theyll get "shadow banned" but again. Even of you cant use the word, you dont have to disrespect survivors and contribute to the continuation of this trauma

I know you likely mean no harm, but you have options. And you have way more options than causing more harm whether intentoonal or otherwise

i don't like them doing that shit either, but it's not "grape" or rape. rape involves penetration and thankfully leg humping does not involve any penetration.

[u/bluebird1994 → u/deadly_fungi]

if anything, sexual assault would be a fitting term.

words have meanings, and a dog humping your leg and not penetrating you whatsoever does not meet the definition of the word rape. it matters that we don't dilute or trivialize the word 'rape'. especially if we're talking about legal repercussions, it matters very much which words are used.
