I didnt watch the video (2 hours? No thanks) but I think the judge made it clear that the primary witness gave unreliable and untrustworthy testimony which really sank her credibility in this case.
It hit peak head shaking wonder when the Crown prosecutor argued that just because she was sucking on a guy's johnson doesnt mean she was consenting to other sex acts? Specifically "You cannot treat that as a communication of consent to any other sexual act." Which means, in that lawyer's world, one must ask consent to every individual act.
Does that include changing positions good sir? "Uh, just because I did doggy style doesnt mean I consented to reverse cowgirl. How DARE you assume I consented!"
Hmm, I get the impression these people have never actually had a sexual relationship? Probably just safer to print out a consent form for each act and then have both parties sign before each act to make it clear they were both ok with it. I heard that works /s
What the fuck? Yes, as you're having sex with someone it is completely normal and good to ask AT LEAST "would this be OK?" or "can we ..." as you go along. Consent to one thing isn't the same as consent to everything. Having consensual sex with a condom becomes unconsensual if one removes the condom unbeknownst to the other, for example.
You clearly fundamentally don't understand consent.
I clearly fundamentally dont believe in casual sexual relationships where consent is an issue. The problem isn't consent. Its that people have normalized hooking up with sexual partners they barely know, before they've even formed any kind of a bond, and then have to precariously navigate all kinds of sexual etiquette because there is little trust, little relationship and no commitment. Sexual assault from lack of consent is a problem created by people who have not made a commitment to love, cherish, protect and nurture the love of their life and made a lasting commitment to them. Its not rocket science to note that the people in this case only met each other a few hours before this whole sordid event happened and were only out for some 'fun'. Its also not rocket science to note that the number of cases of committed couples who have been together for years dragging the issue of 'consent' into a courtroom is far far less, if you can even find those cases at all.
If you play with fire, you're gonna get burned. Just ask some hockey players.
And Im 100% sure that my opinion will be fully accepted here on Lemmy especially by those who love their bar crawling hookups so Im gonna leave it at that. lol. I'm out.
You're getting downvoted to oblivion for a reason. No one is agreeing with you. You need to understand what consent means.
