@sumire-chan I think that by calling those harmful behaviors "rape" youre still contributing to this phenomenon. The actual harmful behavior taking place is assault. You're only calling it rape because it involves sex, but the presence of sex doesn't make the crime more harmful, it just changes what you call it and adds additional social demonization.

@mushroomfemboy @sumire-chan The crime being about sex is what makes it rape (the idea rape not the legal definition), it's an assault still, but it's a specific kind of a assault, if assaulta were pokemon you would call rape-assaults "shinies", "Heh bro I got a lvl 23 assault!" "Nothin bro, I got a lvl 23 assault SHINY! RAPE VARIANT" "BROOOOOOOOO"

@Jazzy_Butts @sumire-chan why does sex assault need it's own special name when other kinds of assault do not? The only reason is to make it seem especially heinous, to demonize it.

@mushroomfemboy @sumire-chan Why do shinies have to exist, there's already pokemon, any difference is purely cosmetic. And people are silly, and will focus all their attention on shinies even though they functionality are no different from normal pokemon. A person can drive a pipe through someones chest and that's an assault, if they jam it in through their assholes it's a sexual assault. Now if they jammed it though someones foot, it's an assault, but if they jam it through the foot of someone who gives lots of footjobs and considers their feet to be a sexualized part of their body, does it become a sexual assault? Or rape?
