Not inherently, no. Forms of sexual harassment can become criminal, but it's generally not a crime to make an unwelcome but forward comment to somebody.

Still while it is not actually rape, I can see how it would be upsetting to a woman being virtually assaulted and harassed by a gang of jerks. I sure wouldn't want any young boys or girls having to go through that online."If you believe, take the first step, it leads to Jesus Christ. If you don't believe, take the first step all the same, for you are bidden to take it. No one wants to know about your faith or unbelief, your orders are to perform the act of obedience on the spot. Then you will find yourself in the situation where faith becomes possible and where faith exists in the true sense of the word." - Dietrich Bonhoeffer, The Cost of Discipleship

I'm far less concerned about the possibility of this than I am the actual, widespread reality of adults hanging out on platforms like Discord and grooming teenagers. As a parent, I know firsthand that it's a reality."I am not angered that the Moral Majority boys campaign against abortion.

Yes. But she said it happened so fast she didn't know what was going on and then tried to "get away"The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

In any case, I just hate how she, possibly unintentionally, trivializes actual rape.

eta never mind, she did say "gang raped"

I wouldn't want to give the impression either that this behavior is okay because it's clearly not. Just to be clear."I am not angered that the Moral Majority boys campaign against abortion.

Yeah, just because a behavior is creepy and gross does not make it the same as rape. Still gross. Just not as evil as rape. Does sound like a good reason to make such games 18 and up. What if it was a twelve year old girl being treated like that? Though, what would happen if some one pretended to be twelve so the creeps think they haad been talking to a kid and now feel bad?Last edited by Christianbookworm; 02-03-2022, 02:52 PM.If it weren't for the Resurrection of Jesus, we'd all be in DEEP TROUBLE!
