    Yes. Telling someone you will impregnate them against their will is a rape threat, and I’m disturbed that you don’t understand why.

      This is someone defending musk. They probably have no idea

      That’s why it logically doesn’t make sense

        I’m thinking more that it’s a “women don’t get to have consent” thing at this point based on their most recent response.

          Well isn’t that lovely. Must be someone who got lost and found their way off reddit by accident.

          We can hope that they’ll grow and learn as a human being and stop perpetuating misogynistic perspectives. For their sake and ours.

      He didn’t say he was going to impregnate her against her will, did he? I’m disturbed that you think this has anything to do with a rape threat. It suggests a severe lack of judgement.

        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.

              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.
