He could be like my baby. I love him and I think he’s the best looking baby in the entire universe, but...he’s not very photogenic. Like he makes a cute face so I take a pic and then I’m like “that one will just be for mommy”. Something about the transition to 2d just...takes something away.

I am aware of that and in complete agreement on the legal definitions, I wasn’t trying to make a major to minor comparison by using the word only, I was trying to say that it was this and not that with no distinction in level of severity, which I wrongly assumed would be clear when I prefaced my statement with rape is…
Oh my god thank you for saying this so much. I took a break from kinja today because it actually really upsets me that people read my comment the way they did. I should have expected it, read it a hundred times, and reworded it. That is completely on me. Thank you forbeing nice about it. I’ve had a really bad day
I have certainly learned my lesson today on the importance of phrasing. I have posted an apology on my personal blog if you care to read it, about my intentions. While no one can see what is in my heart, I was simply trying to clarify the facts (that he definitely used his hands and nowhere is it stated factually that…
Absolutely, I was not thinking of my phrasing. I have definitely learned my lesson on phrasing especially with heated subject matter. I’m really sorry you went through that, I actually had a similar experience, but obvs people can’t read my mind. Thank you for acknowledging my apology
Wow, okay, I thought my ‘rape is rape’ statement would make it clear which side I’m on. Many of the people who should see this update won’t, so that sucks. There were trolls in the comments saying that commenters didn’t have the facts and were using minor quibbles to tear down discussions and arguments. My intention…
Totally agreed, I was trying to preempt the troll crowd but it looks like my intentions were misconstrued and unnecessary:/
Fromthe victim statement. She refers to him dry humping her and using his hands NOT THAT IT SHOULD MATTER but there were trolls saying commenters didn’t know wtf they were talking about and I was just trying to pass on what I’d read
I absolutely was not trying to create a scale of bad to worst. There were trolls trying to tear down commenters by saying that they didn’t have the facts, and I was really just trying to give PA the facts. I honestly didn’t read my comment any other way before I hit publish and sincerely regret how it was construed.
I cannot find anywhere in the victim statement where she refers to anything other than his hands, nor in the charges. She absolutely was raped, I am not arguing that. There were trolls getting into arguments that it wasn’t rape and people didn’t have the facts, I was trying to ensure OP had them. I apologize for the…
I’m really trying to respond to everyone here. I assumed other commenters have seen me around here enough to know I’m not making excuses for rape. There were trolls getting into arguments that it wasn’t rape and people didn’t have the facts, I was trying to ensure OP had them. I apologize for the confusion
From the victim’s own statement, he used his fingers and to no one’s knowledge did he use his penis. The distinction should not matter, but there were trolls tryingto pick apart the regular commenters by saying they didn’t even have all the facts, so I was trying to make sure PA had them. I apologize for the confusion
There were trolls getting into arguments that it wasn’t rape and people didn’t have the facts, I was trying to ensure OP had them. I apologize for the confusion
There were trolls getting into arguments that it wasn’t rape and people didn’t have the facts, I was trying to ensure OP had them. I apologize for the confusion
There were trolls getting into arguments that it wasn’t rape and people didn’t have the facts, I was trying to ensure OP had them. I apologize for the confusion

It’s completely splitting hairs, rape is rape, but he only digitally penetrated her (as far as anyone knows)
