It feels like all these guys want to defend the rapists because “something like this could happen to me she changed her mind after the fact blah blah.” Like unless you’re genuinely a monster who invites all his friends to rape some functionally unconscious girl then this shouldn’t happen to you
Seriously. If you hear about something like this and you feel more like the rapists than you feel like the victim could be someone close to you who you’d want to protect from monsters like this, you really need to reevaluate your life. The anger seems to come from a place of “I’ve done something like this before, it’s no big deal” or “I feel like I should be able to do something like this and get away with it”
I feel like the vibe from guys at my school (SEC college) at least is “all these woke complainers just hate frat guys for no reason and are willing to lie to destroy their lives. Because these girls are actually sexually immoral and to blame for anything happening”. Same kinda crowd as the Christian victim complex folks.
I think a lot of it is coming from this foundational misunderstanding about consent, and how it’s most functionally important part is that it is ALWAYS retractable during any interaction. If it cannot be retracted due to consciousness, inebriation, or other reasons, then that person cannot consent and the interaction ends. A lot of these men are unknowingly demonstrating their ignorance of consent by talking about her initial consent as the evidence of the innocence of the accused…
If you gave consent at the time and later regretted it, that doesn’t mean you can retroactively withdraw the consent you already gave. That would be regret, not necessarily a lack of consent. And it’s okay to regret some stuff. Thats like me saying all the tortas and ugly girls I’ve fucked have raped me bc I regret it now
My understanding of this situation is that she consented to a threesome with a couple of them, one of which texted all his friends “free pussy” and had a bunch of other guys come into the room who she did not consent to sex with. And he later claimed that they only came up there because the party was too crowded and they needed room. So I just don’t really buy that this is a case of a woman “retracting her consent” because of regret. These guys all knew what they were involving themselves in
The story currently (from my understanding, take with a grain of salt) is that she was many drinks in when she arrived at the frat house, they supplied her with one or two more drinks and seemingly a lot of ketamine. Current NY State law though is that, because she willingly became that intoxicated, she would have to prove that she was too intoxicated to consent to the threesome. Which she may as well have been, but it’s pretty difficult to prove that. In any case though, whatever legal
