[QUOTE=Silly Sil;39950220]But shadaez said Maybe the girl in question wouldn't sex the guy if he didn't have a nice car. Rape, following this logic. This argument is so vague and so broad it can be used with a nice car, among other things.[/QUOTE] shadaez is probably assuming people have common sense and basic thinking skills. obviously this thread should prove him wrong. it should be obvious what shadaez means, you guys seem to be trying to nit-pick whenever the point of the post isn't outlined in bold.

It's a generally accepted... colloquialism? Phrase? I dunno. Don't be a pedant.

In some people and enough quantity it can lower someone's inhibitions enough so that they might say yes to something they would say no to if they were lucid. A car doesn't alter how someone's fundamental decision making works.

And why would the alcohol/drugs have exclusiveness in this? There are other things that can influence your decision making and make you say yes to something you'd otherwise say no to. That's what the posts about nice car were mocking. How did you not get that?

It would at least make you look like a reasonable person.

Or can only drugs/alcohol do it?

[QUOTE=yawmwen;39950425]does this person impair your ability to make choices? [editline]17th March 2013[/editline] if so then it might very well be rape.[/QUOTE] Pretty sure every manipulation impairs your decision making.
[QUOTE=Silly Sil;39950453]Pretty sure every manipulation impairs your decision making.[/QUOTE] yea and rape through coercion is possible.
When two individuals have drunken sex, how do we know who coerced who? It's obvious when the scumbag preys on the drunk girls but sometimes people just have sex when they're drunk. If the male is also drunk is it rape, what if the male was the one coerced? My god, we need to get back on topic and that topic is sexual tropes in videogames...
[QUOTE=yawmwen;39950456]yea and rape through coercion is possible.[/QUOTE] Like I said there are many things that can impair your decision making, making you say yes to something you otherwise would say no to. It's not just reserved to substances. The idea that you can't give consent after a beer is pretty bad. Anyway I'm off to bed. See you on page 25 when I wake up :v:
[QUOTE=postmanX3;39950149]Because alcohol directly affects brain function. Nice cars don't. That's the worst metaphor I've heard all day.[/QUOTE] Nice cars do. This is the worst answer I've heard all day.
[QUOTE=maqzek;39950618]Nice cars do. This is the worst answer I've heard all day.[/QUOTE] nice cars affect brain function huh [url]http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed[/url] prove it, find me one medical journal that proves what you are saying and ill eat my own hair

If one of them feels like they were raped, than that is when there should be more investigation into the events.
[QUOTE=thisispain;39950657]nice cars affect brain function huh [url]http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed[/url] prove it, find me one medical journal that proves what you are saying and ill eat my own hair[/QUOTE] I'm not saying cars affect brain functions directly but they obviously have cause something that affects some people. I'm also not proving shit because this whole topic is abomination. I'm just posting equally ridiculous but sort of true statements like other people did for the last whatever pages. I mean really, read whole thread and tell me that my post is far-fetched compared to other ones.
[QUOTE=maqzek;39950945]I'm not saying cars affect brain functions directly[/QUOTE] well alcohol does so yr comparison is bad and likes cocks next please
