I kept saying you were misrepresenting people's statements and you were all, "Nah, I'm just, you know, jamming about things people shouldn't say." I think you might have a problem with subtleties and nuance. There's a huge difference between, "It's reasonable to assume that she was interested in sex or something along those lines" and "She was asking for it." The former suggests a reasonable assumption you can make in an adult encounter that might lead you to try say grabbing a boob and seeing how that works out. The latter suggests that she's fair fucking game from that point on. You know it. It's part of communicating as a human. You just don't want to conceded to it because then you'd have to admit that maybe everyone who disagrees with you isn't cool with rape.
What kind of logical fallacy is it when you try to make your opponent look like a monster? Is it one? I'll make it one. Argumentum ad Frankensteinium.
I'm sure that everyone who disagrees with me "isn't cool with rape"..Shell, lol. That doesn't mean they don't find themselves parroting socially common narratives that they think they're totally above, because nuance and such. It does, though, mean that they;re genuinely shocked and surprised when someone else picks it up.
