    if you knew you were HIV positive, why would you have unprotected sex with rape anybody?

    When you use the correct terms, your question answers itself.

      Obviously. The point the person was making was to say that even if we buy into the bullshit narrative that this was consensual, it still doesn’t make sense. They didn’t use incorrect terms to skirt around it, they were making a specific point about their claims.

        Except it isn’t obvious to many people, and using the correct language is more important than any supposed point they were trying to make (because part of rape culture is society, and especially the media and the courts not calling it what it is to muddy the water. I’m not accusing OP of doing that deliberately, but that’s why words matter, even if you intention is benign).

        Sir, this is Lemmy. There are semantic arguments we must beat each other over the head with. I didn’t make the rules…
