I feel like this shit belongs in the feminist thread.

edit: this post is regarding the soccer stuff, comic, and kuro being terrible.

Nah, if anything you should merge both threads.

Anyway, you fucking point it out.

I'm sorry, I thought you would understand sarcasm, being what you are.

A teacher, of course.

I came into this thinking "what the fuck, people will get offended by anything" and came out thinking "well that was an unnecessary, unfunny, douchetastic post." lighthearted nonsensical memes are maybe not the place to insert your views on transgender politics.

Move over, grumpy old men. Hipsters edging in on your anti-PC soapbox.

Meh if you look at there other stuff you can see they are joking and no subject is off limits to these kinds of jokes. They did a few about the gorilla thing that are really just as edgy but people not as sensitive/different sense of humor

The Brock case would at least be a little more interesting if he was blacked out drunk as well - couldn't answer questions about how he ended up in the alley with the girl, etc - was a blank slate like she was. As it stands his defense was pretty ridiculous.

The key to that case is that having no memory doesn't mean you were unconscious. The nature of a blackout drunken stupor is simply that you don't remember what happened, not that you were passed out. It's entirely plausible that she was willingly engaging in his sexual advances. After all, people would notice if someone was physically carrying an unconscious girl out of a party and into an alley. That looks shady as fuck. Two drunk people stumbling into a private area? Totally normal occurrence at parties.

Totally. That's why it's so damning that he supposedly remembers everything - a girl who is 3 times the legal limit, who passed out (at the latest) during the assault, would be blindingly obvious that she couldn't give meaningful consent.

If he was wrecked to the point of incompetence as well, it would be more understandable that he didn't realize how intoxicated she was.

Ive had nights where i drank a good 15-20 shots/drinks and been able to remember everything. Of course, im a 250 pound genetic freak, not a silver spoon rich kid swimmer lol.

No, the point is that the blackout amnesia is the only symptom you have in blackout drunkenness. You can appear far, far less drunk than you actually are, depending on personality and how drunkenness affects you personally.

Blackouts can generally be divided into 2 categories, "en bloc" blackouts and "fragmentary" blackouts. En bloc blackouts are classified by the inability to later recall any memories from the intoxication period, even when prompted. These blackouts are characterized also by the ability to easily recall things that have occurred within the last 2 minutes, yet being unable to recall anything prior to this period. As such, a person experiencing an en bloc blackout may not appear to be doing so, as they can carry on conversations or even manage to accomplish difficult feats. It is difficult to determine the end of this type of blackout as sleep typically occurs before they end,[8] although it is possible for an en bloc blackout to end if the sufferer has stopped drinking in the meantime.

The thing is that you can't give legally give consent when you are drunk. It doesn't matter if she said yes if it was under the influence.

Now if they were equally drunk the issue becomes ambiguous because then neither party has consent, and you can't plead voluntary intoxication for rape.

They were definitely both drunk, and this conversation has been hashed out a hundred times in the feminism thread. The concept of rape becomes a horrible mess when people start drinking, but it's stupid to take the perspective that "legal consent" should have any bearing in a normal social interaction.

But she was incomprehensibly slurring her speech in phone calls with her boyfriend and sister less than an hour before she was raped. It was blindingly obvious that she was destroyed.


(not to mention she was unconscious during at least part of the rape)

How exactly is a drunk person supposed to measure equal levels of drunkenness lol? Plus if we accept that one isn't cognitive enough to consent while drunk then how can we accept one is cognitive enough to judge consent while drunk?
