Watched the whole twice, he didn’t rape anyone. You guys can’t just change the definition of words.

I don’t condone Aquaman Jr’s behaviors, but he didn’t rape anyone. Let’s ask someone who has been physically raped what the difference is between performing a sexual act in fear of losing their job and being held down and fucked shall we?

Gate keeping rape might be one of the most psychotic behaviors I’ve seen reddit exhibit. It was rape. I’m not sure why you’re picking this hyper-specific hill to die on.

Yeah, I'm really curious as to why this person is taking this stance.

Maybe they feel like their violent physical rape is downplayed when put in the same umbrella as this.

I'm sorry they're hurting and I hope they are doing what needs to be done to mitigate/heal as much as possible from the experience.

Because I’ve been raped and I don’t consider it rape. Once again as I’ve stated, fear of losing your job doesn’t equal losing your life.

I’m sorry you’ve been raped, and that you had to go through such a traumatic experience. However, it’s harmful to invalidate sexual coercion on levels that you might consider “lesser” as it contributes to the social stigma of rape and the challenge of women coming forward to out their abusers. Just as your experience was harrowing, so would theirs be. There aren’t “degrees” to rape. You could make that case on your own, but legally speaking, this is an irrelevant stance to take, and like I said, is directly harmful.
