Thread: A Different Rape Topic (About the Rapists)

Ruphhausin said Rapists, in a nutshell, are people both men and women who are criminal sociopaths. They made a choice that they refuse to accept that certain things are true, such as the words no and stop have meaning. There are games that are played, and things are simulated, in the realm that role-plays and stories like those on here, covers. There are times when no and stop do not have the meaning they do in a real life situation where unwanted advances really happen. Rapists don't just ignore words, or use intimidation or force or restraint of any kind. They use shame, guilt, and fear as weapons to make the victim feel it is their fault. They are insidious abominations of the human race, especially because many of them masquerade as benevolent caregivers, authority figures, leaders, and friends. Some even abuse the concepts and norms of alternative lifestyles for their prey, such as pretending to be Masters and Mistresses, when all they really are are rapists. The one thing that really is bad is saying that someone who didn't get it is a rapist. No. This is not a popular thing to say, but no knowing, not being educated or socialized... that doesn't make you a rapist. Knowing that what you are doing is wrong and not caring... THAT MAKES SOMEONE A RAPIST. Click to expand... About your last statement, and I'm not saying you're wrong or anything. Could you possibly share an example? I for one, am hesitant to call drunken sex rape. But that's circumstantial. 2 drunk people having sex, not rape, and I'm talking consent on both ends, even if it isn't sober consent. Sober person with a clearly drunk person, I do consider rape because the drunk persons inhibitions are lowered and the sober person tends to be aware of this. Sober person and buzzed person, still functioning, and able to make some sound judgments, can't really tell they're buzzed. Not sure really. The other night I was watching Two and a Half Men, and I was surprised to find something quite similar on the show. Charlie, meets a woman whom he thinks is out of his league and instead of pursuing her and hooking up with her, he hooks her up with his brother, Alan, whom he thinks she's more suited to be with. Alan and the girl hit it off. One night, Alan has her over and is in the other room, she and Charlie are in the livingroom, and she starts talking about how she thinks she isn't good enough for Alan and she confesses to being a recovering alcoholic. She also of course admits the reason she no longer wants to drink is because when she gets drunk, she sleeps with people and says she will sleep with anyone when she is drunk. Charlie starts offering her drinks, because he wants to get her drunk so she will sleep with him. He tells Alan he's doing him a favor by trying to get her drunk and sleep with her because she's essentially a slut , like him. The girl, smashed now, over hears Charlie say this and acted offended for a second and then says Alan, I really like you and you are so good to me. Charlie, you're an attractive asshole. I don't remember the lines exactly, it was somewhere along the lines of that, but then she says This just means I'm going to have to sleep with the both of you! Charlie is up for it, Alan isn't, and the girl ends up leaving. I was just surprised a show today would do that... even if Charlie didn't know most people consider that rape, or even if he didn't consider it rape, the character knew he was taking advantage of a woman by getting her drunk. And I find it sad that a show would turn that into a light-hearted funny situation. And then it slut shames a woman because when she is intoxicated inhibitions lowered, no sound judgment to be made she is prone to sleeping with people, even when she clearly does no such thing when she is sober, and is even making efforts to not drink again because she does not want to do such things. On paper, it's disgusting to me...
