FIFA only does that because of public pressure, or else they would've done so a week ago.

So? Public pressure works to give proper repercussions to sexual assualters in old boys clubs, and it's doing what it should here.

I really don't understand why you're riding this so hard to defend a sex pest....

If giving someone a kiss makes you a sex pest then I guess you can call me one too.

If giving someone a kiss unconsensually makes you a sex pest then I guess you can call me one too.

Ok, youre a sex pest, N1cknamed

You appear to agree, as well

Luckily my girlfriend felt different about it ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Sex pests don't generally understand the difference between consensual and nonconsensual experiences, so that perfectly tracks why you're confused about this whole situation.

I seem to be getting along fine so far. Never asked before making a move, and I've never been asked by someone making a move. Would've rather ruined the mood. That's how real life works. You feel things out, most of the time you get it right and have a fun evening, sometimes you get it wrong and make a wrong judgement call. Then you apologize and move on. I've been on both sides of the experience and it's no big deal for anyone involved. Certainly no need to ruin anyones life over it.

Nonsense like this is the reason why more and more people stay single their entire life and avoid all human interaction. Social media has an extremely twisted view of how human interaction works, and expects people to at all times be able to judge exactly how the other person feels about things. Zero nuance involved.

You don't know me, you have no idea what I'm like in real life, yet you believe you can judge my character based on just a couple of comments. That's exactly my problem with these things. Extreme opinions without context. Let me share an excellent comment I had saved from a couple months ago, from a very similar situation concerning Vince McMahon (which, by the way, has been all but forgotten in the public consciousness already, as these things go):

It’s always pretty unfair and ridiculous, that people you have never even met somehow expect you to condemn an actual important person in your life over allegations that they, most of the time, are barely even familiar with themselves.

Just look at how many people ITT are seriously parroting Bixenspan-tier opinions about McMahon being a legitimate serial rapist, etc. when the only knowledge they have on the subject is something they read online……. or even more likely, an opinion they read from someone who read something about it online.

If you’re ready to say that you know more about the character of a man you’ve never met than a guy that’s worked with him for decades you should really start rethinking your weird parasocial relationships with tv characters.

Unfortunately none of this conversation even matters.
