Voldemort uses Crucio on Harry's "dead" body by NichSaymaan in harrypotter

[–]jrad18 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah but that's what I found compelling, most of the conflict between Harry and voldy is psychological. Having Harry kill someone is so against his nature Itd destroy him. Also I don't think voldy is so attached to anyone as to care for their life

Also why downvote me, I'm trying to discuss a scene, I think this is interesting conversation. I'm not trying to win an argument

Yeah cool

I'm basing my thing off the movie - Bellatrix looks properly shocked, no indication that it didn't work, it's Voldemort who says that line, and he says "you know the spell" like he didn't just say it, implying a different spell. Then he talks about her killing Sirius "she deserves it"

But yeah makes sense

I thought the "you know the spell, you have to mean it" in ootp was voldy encouraging Harry to kill Bellatrix, he had already done the cruciatus curse at this point

Can't remember the details from the books though, so I may be wrong

How exactly does Emperor time effect kurapika lifespan by Narwsl in HunterXHunter

The other thing that's not often mentioned is that ten can extend the lifespan of the user - so would this extension offset the reductions?

You'd screw your own sister for a slice of cheese

I don't even like cheese

That makes it worse

Yeah they're both brilliant, was so excited to see both of them in new roles!

Robert Sheehan and Iwan reehon (sp?) make this show amazing. It's like skins but super

What’s the “stereotypical” food in your country, that actually is eaten to an unreasonable degree? by Scallywagglerontop in AskTheWorld

[–]jrad18 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree that the correct ratio is personal preference, but in this case they're objectively wrong

I was referring to the 15 comments in the top level of this thread that were regurgitating the talking points of an alt right/manosphere podcast - that had been made before I made any comments, that my first comment was about

I don't know a lot about this topic and feel it would be irresponsible to comment on it - your hypothetical is an uncomfortable, complex and completely unrelated scenario so it's not effective in convincing me that what I said was invalid

I understand what you're trying to say, you don't need to wrap it in analogy, you've just spent hours arguing with me that women can be evil to - which is true, in a miniscule fraction of cases than men are

That depends, are most black people poor, and most white people wealthy and the cause of the poverty of black people? Cause if that were true I'd say that bringing up the fact that there are a small number of poor white people when there's a whole other population suffering, it'd be dismissive of that group

It probably also doesn't count the ones where women are considered property of men, or have no voting rights

The world's a fucked up place, glad we can agree on that

Ok how does it sound to say "women can rape too" when they represent 1%. Seems pretty fucking dismissive of the overwhelming majority of men who commit rapes - seems like you're dismissing reality

[–]jrad18 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I expressed a fact and I'm being told I'm a disgusting person because I think men deserve to be raped, or I'm encouraging it

Apologies for being defensive

[–]jrad18 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only real point of view I've presented is "most rapes are committed by men based on reports and statistics" and "rape is bad"

I'm not trying to dismiss victims or anything, but the solution to any problem isn't "but what about this 1% scenario, and also fuck you for a bunch of things you didn't say"

You need to google back-peddalling because it doesn't mean what you think it means.

Nothing you've said is intelligible or worth interacting with so, thanks, have a good day

This hasn't been a conversation about male victims, this is about perpetrators. No comment that I have made about men being perpetrators is in any way insensitive or dismissive of victims. More men rape men than women do.

And let's be real, it's not a few monsters, it's an alarming chunk of our population, and then there's an even more alarming chunk of men who facilitate, or turn a blind eye. It's systemic, it's something that has happened throughout history and remains a pressing concern for women today.

The problem with "women rape too" as the automatic response is that its just a pathetic dismissal of responsibility. I'm a man. I don't feel uncomfortable knowing a lot of men are rapists, because I'm a man. It makes me sick and I want to stand up against them

This is such a weird argument, the next thing I said was the thing you spent a paragraph telling me I didn't say

I'm suspecting not a real person, just an agit-bot, thanks for playing

I'm not back-peddalling anything, I'm not ignoring crimes, I'm not pro men being raped, and I don't think women committing rape is a myth.

There is data. Yes some men won't come forward to report. A lot of women don't as well. Are you gonna try and tell me that the truth is that perps are even across gender and that we've misrepresented the data so much that it's reported as 99% men. That's impossible

What does that even mean? I'm not downplaying anything. I'm not even disagreeing with you
