Again with this First Amendment shit. Yes, you have freedom of speech but not freedom from consequences of that speech.

Imagine getting paid actual money to just surf the Twitter algos for the trendiest dumbest hot takes that you add to repackaged stories with the commentary equivalent of “many people are saying”.  What a life.

“Hey, Penn. We know it’s your body and you and your wife have discussed this, but we just found out some jackass with 1,699 followers on Twitter got a bunch of likes for saying your stance was off-putting, so we’ve re-evaluated and now we think you’re an asshole and you should just wrap your lips around a nipple on…

I feel like this is actually, at its core, somewhat of power issue. By that I mean the outraged, indignant commenters who are reactively condemning Badgley’s boundary-setting are doing so in part because they don’t feel sorry for someone who holds an enormous amount of social capital (and monetary capital) because…

I mean, those others didn’t attack a host at the Academy’s award show.

Haha yeah I was about to say the same thing. It’s approaching a year later, and the show is coming up shortly...of fucking course it’s going to be brought up again.

“ordinary Germans like you und me”

Goecke’s “impulsive reaction,” the company continued,

I think you’ve clarified the legal issues brilliantly.

Thank you for this thoughtful response. I forgot about Jack Kevorkhian, that’s a good example.

“Huh? Coercing someone to say it is consensual when it is not is illegal. Raping someone is also illegal. What are you talking about? Yeah, it’s a good tactic that worked for them. So is the mafia bribing witnesses or jurors or intimidating people or whatever. And? All you’ve “added” to the conversation here is that…

The difference is that threatening witness is illegal.

The court didn’t “consider” anything in this case. The jury did. And the jury absolutely heard that argument as it was the crux of the prosecutor’s case.

Yeah, this is all very gross. If I had had a sexual encounter with someone I’d be hugely insulted if they asked this of me afterwards, and I wouldn’t do it. But that’s easy for me to say as a grown woman. These are college girls who don’t know any better. It’s completely dehumanizing, and on top of that, I don’t see…

It does sound a little cynical, but what are the options?

Consent being given after is pretty sketchy. If you’re going down this route to document consent, then it has to be before and layout some sort of boundaries (ie multiple partners, rough play etc). With a follow up after. Ideally an additional consent recorded during.

After sex alone doesn’t mean much. If you are…

You know, I appreciate the effort these guys are putting into what they’re doing, and this might be unfair, but if you’re filming exit interviews with hook-ups like you’re Max Hardcore, it just makes me think you’re a scumbag.

With respect here, it doesn’t really seem like you’re actually engaging with the question. It’s with consent. If it’s without consent, then I think basically everyone sees a problem with that. A hypothetical scenario where you don’t need consent from the person so rich people stake out hospitals waiting for somebody…

A while back, somewhere between the 1,917th and the 2,390th screeching dingbat rant on this topic, I asked for the definitive ruling on what is an acceptable age gap. Still waiting.
