Trumpled (Alternative Leading)

[Thryleon]

Thryleon, I don’t disagree that the issue of consent can be fraught. I personally think the suggestion that there needs to be a verbal call out of consents like 2 pilots going through a check list is going too far, e.g. “May I now move my hand from your left breast to your right breast?” But that’s not what we’re talking about here.

We all know going in for a 1st kiss should be a slow move, both for romantic and consent reasons. Giving the woman a chance to say no or turn her head is important. Pouncing on a woman you haven’t even met carries with it the prospect of an assault charge. And grabbing their pussies before you’ve said a word to them is even more risky.

This was the behaviour he was describing.

Inference yours regarding behaviour and what he was describing.  The fact you can find people who support that narrative says a bit about our society.  I could also point to people sharing my opinion, but we are playing the commentary (again at face value) and assuming that stars get their fair share of women who will throw themelves at them.  Why they do it, is beyond me but the fact it happens is well known, understood, and for the most part, doesnt matter.

Likewise, I cannot infer that Biden is a paedo based on the stuff thats online about him.

If you go searching for information you want to see, you might find it and about people who you would never consider to be that way inclined, and all that tells me, is that there is confirmation bias everywhere, and we need only look at the response to the COVID situation to find out exactly how that can polarise everyone in different ways that you wouldnt even think of.  Before anyone can jump on me, I am going to mention 5G here, as how this happens.

Ive heard a lot of stories over the years.  Often, there is a lot of fruit salad, exaggeration and half truths to stories, and what that has taught me is to ignore everything you hear, and mistrust even what your eyes are telling you, because very occasionally our biases skew our viewpoints so much, that we often ignore what is actually true.
