What a piece of shit. If you don't have enthusiastic consent you don't have sex. You don't just take somebody's word for it that their drugged and nonresponsive wife is cool with you fucking her. Jesus christ.
World News
A community for discussing events around the World
Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
- Blogsites are treated in the same manner as social media sites. Medium, Blogger, Substack, etc. are not valid news links regardless of who is posting them. Yes, legitimate news sites use Blogging platforms, they also use Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube and we don't allow those links either.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF OCTOBER 19 2025
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Whether one is "identifying" as a criminal, has ZERO bearing on whether one has committed criminal action!
Dear Gisele Pelicot, please hold your ground, for the sake of all the women who've been subjected to same-category violations.
For yourself AND others, together..
No matter what support you need to be able to withstand it, instead of just dropping it all
( I've survived enough in this world to KNOW that often it makes more emotional sense to drop everything & let evil win .. for one's self .. but then it grows more-powerful .. ),
PLEASE TELL THE GOOD-FOR-YOU PEOPLE WHAT SUPPORT YOU NEED: ASK THEM, .. TELL THEM, .. BEG THEM, .. MAKE THEM,
BUT GET THE SUPPORT YOU NEED, to be able to endure standing against evil's machiavellianism, please.
The more ground they gain, the more ground they can gain:
it's non-linear, & it is a feedback-loop ( same as ClimatePunctuation is, same as ideology-highjacking-a-country is ).
The less ground the machiavellians/gaslighters gain, the more ground that abused-women have.
Please keep holding-up, for the sake of many women in the world.
And anyone who honestly can support her, please please do-so.
It's the same at all scales:
the individual-scale, the whole-country scale ( like Palestine & Ukraine & Sudan & the Congo region ),
continental-scale ( as it will be shortly, in the Americas, & in Europe, & in Asia, & in the Middle-East+Africa, once the tipping-point is crossed, possibly in late 2025 ),
& global ( as it will be, once the "conquering" of regions is done, & the 4 remaining factions of the world have nowhere left to go, except through each-other, in the early 2030's ).
Keep unbreaking, keep getting-up again, keep keeping-going, keep warring for uprightness.
( I feel like shit telling you this, because while I've unbroken my life enough to no-longer be much-of-the-time-catatonic-with-brain-injury ( I spent years that way ), that the psychiatric-profession gaslit me to accept was somehow "incurable mental-illness" instead of literal-brain-decimation..
I've only been able to put me together-enough to offer perspective for help, .. but not been able to uncripple/unbreak my life, yet.
I can't even reliably coordinate physically, yet.
But there's no honest or strategic alternative:
IF I just smash/destroy my life, to escape the endless-abuse of existing-in-it,
THEN abuse won,
& my karma becomes hell-karma, because I let the enemy win, so therefore my continuum/soul gets caught-in lives rigged right from the beginning to that enemy-victory-leverage, to cause my continuum/soul to understand consequences-of-its-choices..
MY soul chose to indulge in being karma's punching-bag, because it didn't understand that consequences are real.
IT assumed that it could make-believe away everything, or ignore-away everything: inexperience/ignorance is terrible management substitute-for-competence, right?
& I've been paying the price for it, for more than 1/2 of a century ( including 7+y of outright homelessness ).
& .. looking around this world .. my experience isn't significantly better, or worse, than global-average, is it?
ALL these continuums/souls are getting themselves caught in incarnations, while making-believing that "consequences aren't real: they can't hurt me-the-soul" .. but the consequences crush/destroy the someones, the lives, that unconscious-souls get caught in..
It isn't the SurfaceMinds ( minds which dissipate every few hours ) which are the problem.
The 2 minds underlying SurfaceMind are the problem: unconscious-LifeMind ( begins forming in conception, & shatters in death ), & underlying-that is unconscious-Continuum/Soul.
Trying to make one's unconscious-LifeMind notice/learn anything .. is like being made of blown-dust & trying to MAKE bedrock understand something it WON'T know or understand..
Years/decades of persistence in right-direction can make some learning happen, in the more-fundamental-layer-of-mind.
But nothing less than that works.
Certainly not the making-believing or pretence pushed by our culture of "entertainment" brainwashing..
All this extra-context is simply to try to communicate that *the problem isn't you, or me, or any-particular-individual,
.. it is unconscious-LifeMind, and it is humankind's-collective-unconscious-LifeMind-ignorance, which is indellible-at-individual-human-scale* and digging-in against that is the REAL context, see?
And THAT is why I'm asking you to intentionally ask & get all the real support you need.
In my life nobody can provide the support that I need:
prejudices has annihilated those bridges: there's no human-closeness left, no such category of trust, of that kind: I do it alone or die having failed to do it.
I'm hoping that your-life is sooo utterly-different from mine, in nature, that it is possible for you to have close human friendship, honest-human-trust, & honest total support, & that you can have it, & can lean on it.
( IF I succeed in breaking-through, THEN it'll have been worth it, though "me"-personality will have been annihilated forever: the continuum/soul currently caught in "me" will have become incapable of ever making such a mistake, EVER again: the soul will have outgrown its retardedness. )
I'm hoping that you succeed, with whatever help you need, in breaking the evil trying to blot-out your truth..
Each their own path, their own way, but the fundamental-enemy's the same: evil's evil.
Narcissism / machiavellianism / sociopathy-psychopathy / nihilism / sadism / systemic-dishonesty / displacing-objectivity / displacing-considered-reasoning..
Each of those dimensions of human-evil has to be recognized on its own, & it has to be countered, outright, its most-effective-way.
Many times we are subjugated-by-evil because we fail to understand that we're caught in "The 2-Problem Problem":
.. that there are actually more than 1 dimensions of "problem" that we're caught-in, & we're trying to solve "the" problem, which is why we're failing again & again & again..
When something won't fix, then it's a good time to step back & see if one has been caught in The 2-Problem Problem..
If that set-of-dimensions-of-human-evil helps you clarify what each of the players concerting evil against your life is meaning, then you can clarify your fight's requirements, thereby stacking-odds for your validity's ( & meaning's ) survival.
That's leverage.
I hope it helps you enough.
I'm sorry I couldn't offer more than mere perspective: it's the only thing I've got. )
Salut, Namaste, Kaizen, & Gratitude for your holding-up as you already have,
