[QUOTE=GisG56;49808930] This video is not funny. Rape is not funny. [/QUOTE] Anything can be funny. More importantly, joking about rape doesn't mean you think its ok.

[QUOTE=Protocol7;49799108]I take it back. There are no exceptions. Because if you're too drunk to make good decisions, you're still responsible for getting to that point. Sure, situations arise where you may become more intoxicated than expected, but that's not usually the case, is it?[/QUOTE] What about social pressure? You know encouraging people to drink is easy and happens alot.
[QUOTE=Talishmar;49838159]What about social pressure? You know encouraging people to drink is easy and happens alot.[/QUOTE] You could also say that you could pressure someone into joining an orgy, or else they're "not cool". Would that be rape?
[QUOTE=Talishmar;49838159]What about social pressure?

I had to take a rape quiz going into college too, except it was more focused on alcohol and stuff. Here's hoping I don't have to take another one to get into my new college because fuck me they went on forever. At least it didn't have trigger warnings.
[QUOTE=AnonymaPizza;49838416]You could also say that you could pressure someone into joining an orgy, or else they're "not cool". Would that be rape?[/QUOTE] It would be coercing into sex which may or may not be legal depending on how extreme the coercion is. Definitely an asshole move though. So if someone is coerced or pressured to drink, are they still responsible for dumb drunk decisions? I think an important thing to note here that sexual experiences are immensely varied and it's not a 1/0 rape or not. It can be a bad experience for either or both, but the most defining factor probably is the regard/disregard for what the other feels. The drunkness responsiblity thing is a big dilemma full of grey areas though.

To coerce means that you're using force or threats in order to get a person to do something. A person being convincing is not coercion. If a person holds a gun to your head, forcing you to get drunk, then yes, you are probably resolved of the blame. If you can't hold out against a little peer pressure and get drunk, then no, it's your own fault.
[QUOTE=haloguy234;49794877]No, and it's not rape if one person is drunk and the other isn't. That's taking advantage. Consent is consent, under the influence or not. It's not illegal, it's frowned upon. If I can take a drunk girl home and fuck the shit out of her and later she accuses me of raping her, then by that logic, I should not be held responsible at-fucking-all if I decide to drive my car after getting shitfaced and get in a wreck. It's treated like some get-out-of-jail free card and it's fucking ridiculous and that is not how the world works. If you're old enough to drink legally and go out to bars, you're old enough to accept any responsibilities that come with making bad decisions. It just blows my mind that there are people out there who think that is a legitimate argument and is grounds for being considered rape.[/QUOTE] I really want to see what people who have dumbed you have to say against your point, especially in first paragraph.

I meant "pressure", which contains everything between coercion, convincing and feeling of obligation. Since that's a spectrum, logically blame would also be?

If you decide to do something with it it's your responsibility, whether you feel "pressured" or not. The only time this is not the case is when you are actually being threatened, which I do believe is itself illegal.
