I read your comment just now, but I feel like it’s tangential to my point. I think whether someone agrees to something is very important in a legal/social framework, but not really the thing morally. The more important thing is whether harm is actually done.
- fluoridation 1y agoI mean, I'm not sure I agree. Situation A: A man is in a situation where he feels he can't refuse to shake someone's hand, so he does so, feels disgust at the clammy handshake, and then contracts a common infection. Situation B: A man dates a woman, roofies her, takes advantage of her, but it turns out she's into that and nothing else happens. From what you're saying, situation A would be much more "immoral" than situation B.
- BriggyDwiggs42 1y agoSee the fucked up thing is I can’t help but agree. It should be illegal because it tends to cause harm, but that doesn’t mean it causes harm in any particular case, and if it turns out okay I guess I don’t have any good reason to care. There’s the argument “maybe this guy will go forward and keep doing that to other people,” but I don’t disagree in a bubble.
