First of all, no one that I’ve seen has said that the legal definition of rape doesn’t matter. Rather, what I’ve said is that reading about a woman sharing her story of abuse by immediately crafting a legal defense of the perpetrator is the wrong way to respond and sends the wrong message to other victims who may be…

Nope, burden’s on you as the challenger, find me cases supporting your interpretation or don’t comment again.

Again, all you’re doing is stating your opinion and acting like it’s the gospel. If you know of specific rape cases where “crying in pain” was ruled not to be a withdrawal of consent, by all means, share them. Despite your continued insistence, I’m not against discussions of the legal definitions of consent. Though I…

Also, her allegation of sexual assault is clearly based on her misapprehension that this was statutory rape

I’m not promoting ignorance. I’m telling you that your personal, as far as I can tell, non-expert opinion of whether a victim has a good case or not isn’t helpful to anyone despite your insistence that it’s vital.

Crying is not telling somebody else to do something.

Under New York law, lack of consent results from: (1) forcible compulsion; (2) incapacity to consent; (3) where the offense charged is sexual abuse or forcible touching, any circumstances, in addition to forcible compulsion or incapacity to consent, in which the victim does not expressly or impliedly acquiesce in the…

I would never do what he did

Absolutely. While I think the whole beef is silly, J. Cole is absolutely the villain here. He’s being thin-skinned and tone-policing a woman who he admits is smarter and more socially conscious than him. Total unforced error.

Turns out that the day she comes was after the initial announcement. Whoops.

You really don’t get it, do you? “Resisting arrest” is just how they justify killing people. “Compliance” is a nebulous target that’s impossible to hit. You proved it yourself by repeating police propaganda about how all of these black men and women being killed were supposedly at fault when they didn’t do anything…

I read this article and Noname’s lyrics and then read the Genius entry on J. Cole’s song and I still don’t understand this beef. Noname took shots at “conscious” rappers for not speaking out enough during this moment. J. Cole it seems has been speaking out and even marched in his hometown, but he assumed she was…

It’s a catch-22. If you don’t do anything new and simply retread the same ground, people call your game lazy and get bored with the series. If you introduce too many new elements or elements that differ too much from the original formula, people say you’re not being true to the early games. For me, Origins still felt…

How many innocent black people being murdered by the police is the right number for you? You’re a fucking liar who’s spreading provably false propaganda and devaluing black lives on fucking Juneteenth. You should grow a conscience and stop.

I admitted that “most cops” are thin-skinned and trigger happy?

If the arrest was complete bullshit, good. You can sue for wrongful arrest. If the arrest wasn’t complete bullshit, then accept your fate.

Maybe. But the goal is to create a policing force with radically different values, goals, and scope. If that’s not possible, then maybe we should do away with police entirely. Regardless, something major needs to change and though it seems like a semantic argument, I don’t believe that “reform” is strong enough.

Okay, well since you have a fake statistic that you pulled out of your ass, how can I argue with that? Even if what you were saying were true and not built on faulty assumptions with no actual evidence, the very concept of a system where your choices are either to meekly comply and put yourself completely at the mercy…

Anyone who still thinks in 2020 that the answer to police violence is simply not resisting arrest is already too far gone to bother arguing with.
