    Again- do you think she wants to be impregnated by him? What do you call it when you impregnate someone and they don’t want you to? I’m pretty sure there’s a four-letter word with that that starts with R and ends with APE.

      If you’re going to pretend it’s an actual rape threat, you’re going to have to prove:

      Good luck with any of that. He’s a well known shitposter who makes rude jokes all the time. He almost certainly thought he was making a joke, which means it can’t be considered a threat even if she felt threatened (which she didn’t). She’s a billionaire with a security detail and a football player as a boyfriend, so his ability to carry out any threat (if it had really been a threat) is nearly nonexistent. And, all evidence is that she just ignored him, not that she felt like she was ever in danger. You’d fail on all 4 prongs of that 4-prong test.

      It’s ridiculous that I’m seemingly defending an asshole like Musk, but when there are even bigger assholes out there like you, it’s what has to be done. You can’t just act like anything rude someone says is a rape threat. It’s ridiculous, and it diminishes the suffering of people who actually are threatened with rape by lumping their suffering in with people who merely have to deal with rude things online.

        Why do I need to prove any of that? Do you think I’m building a legal case?

          Obviously not, you’re just escalating something rude to the level of a rape threat so that you can diminish the suffering of people who are actually threatened with rape.

            It’s interesting how you’ve decided after all this time and after pretty much no one is on your side on this, you’ve decided to change tactics and accuse me of being some sort of rape apologist.

              It’s interesting how what you care about is whether what you said was popular, not whether it’s actually a rape threat.

                This is the second time you’ve tried to make this about me. It’s not going to work.

                  It is about you. You’re the one trying to get internet points by saying something popular when it clearly isn’t true.
