pretty weird to call rape a “flaw”
1 comments

Pretty weird to call forcibly kissing someone “rape”. Pretty sure it’s something but it’s not rape.
While I agree that forcibly kissing someone isn’t rape, in the NYT article posted somewhere in this chain he’s accused of penetration without consent.
Accused, not convicted.

Should accusations be counted as flaws?

No they shouldn’t, nor do I think it should be legal to drag someone’s name through the mud before conviction.

Regardless, the “flaws” this person was referring to were the accusations, and the accusations were of rape not forcible kissing.
