This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Drunk people and consent is a moral and legal gray area - it doesn’t matter if they initiate

It also depends on what is being consented to. We accept that drunk people can consent to commit crimes, but that they cannot consent to have sex.

And the old "I cheated on you because I was drunk". It's not so heartwarming that people here are belittling rape with what would be considered negligent sexual assault at the worst.

I'm just pointing out a strange legal quandary. Obviously noone should fuck around with consent.

hm, yeah so if you can't consent when drunk, then you also can't cheat when drunk. Because it's non consensual in both cases. (at least intentionally, so it would be a valid excuse in this case)
