Well, exactly. Who's saying it was rape? How could it possibly diminish rape?

I think what Strontz meant was that if you equate what he did what sexual assault as defined by law or with rape, it trivializes rape as a crime, which in turn "diminishes" its victims, or the trauma they suffered.

So we can diminish the victims of Louis CK's abuse, because it's all one big zero sum game?

 

What bollocks.

Where do you see elements of zero sum game here?

 

If you sexually assault someone, you go to prison. If I am not mistaken, C.K wasn't prosecuted.

Very very few people do, unfortunately, and I'm unclear of the definition of SA in NY (or whichever state is was in), or whether a statute of limitations applied. I'm not looking to talk about what he did or didn't do, I just think the notion that one person's abuse invalidates or diminishes the abuse of others is wrong.

I think what he did is seen as less serious than actual rape, because he asked and obtained permission. So the case was centered around whether qualified consent could have been given - he was the boss and as far as I recall one of the victims said they were looking up to him as a figure in the comedy world so they said yes because they idolized him. In a sense, they could have left the room or said no. So that "victimhood" for a lack of a better word, in staying in the room while he masturbated, would be seen as less traumatic than the actual rape, where you have no choice.

It definitely wasn't rape, but not all of it was consensual, from what I know.

Washington Post suspends reporter for a month for retweeting "sexist" joke.

 

https://uk.sports.yahoo.com/news/washington-post-suspends-reporter-retweeted-213512452.html

 

Quote

The Washington Post suspended political reporter Dave Weigel without pay for 30 days after he retweeted a sexist joke last week and touched off a public fight on Twitter among staffers at the Jeff Bezos-owned paper.

A spokesperson for the Post declined to comment. Weigel did not respond to emails seeking comment. An autoreply from his Washington Post address said, “I am out of the office and will return on July 5.” Weigel’s suspension was previously reported by CNN.

On Friday, June 3, Weigel had retweeted a post by Cam Harless — a YouTube creator whose Twitter bio says he is a “well-respected shitposter” — which said, “Every girl is bi. You just have to figure out if it’s polar or sexual.”

What a rubbish joke. Perhaps they suspended him because it's such a rubbish joke.

[AngryOfTuebrook]

No idea what this joke was.

Something about him superimposing a huge blurred cock onto a picture of him as a kid apparently.

Despicable talentless bigot Fox has been suspended from Twitter.

 

Here's why.

 

[Bjornebye]

He wasn't suspended was he? Just told to change it to get his account re-instated. 

 

He's got serious issues.

John Peel has a tent in his honour? An interesting tribute. Did he discover Tent Pole Tudor?

[cloggypop]

Nothing wrong with a bit of teenage kicks. 

[Chairman Meow]

Was Peel a diddler as well?

 

At this rate it's starting to seem like it was an active job requirement for BBC DJ's.

And while we're at it, all the talk of "Muslamic" grooming gangs was every bit the groundless, racist horseshit that it always appeared.

Agencies blamed children for the abuse they suffered, not the perpetrators, and exploitation was not investigated because of "nervousness about race".

Spot on.

 

I love forward to the police enquiry doing absolutely fuck all & any reasonable debate about this issue (which has affected thousands upon thousands of children) being shut down.

When you think what those poor kids went through and those bastards going back to their families like nothing is happening, again the abusers and the police.

Do you believe that the cunts who abused children did so because they were Muslims?

Nope.  I believe culturally they saw the British kids as ‘less’ than Muslim kids but that goes across most religions.  Non-believers aren’t worth the same.  But the gangs weren’t investigated thoroughly for fear of upsetting them.
