Man, I love That 70s Show, but so much fuckery and creepy shit happened during production. The irony being that this guy could have had any woman he wanted without assaulting them. He was the "cool funny" one on the show. Fucking gross piece of shit.
Idk about any woman he wanted. There are plenty of people who were never attracted to him, and he may be dysfunctional in a way that draws him to those people.
No one can ever have anyone they want. There will always be someone that says no, and if you don’t have the maturity to accept that and let go of your sense of entitlement you might wind up turning into a predator like Masterson.
have you ever heard the term " a figure of speech" pretty sure that's what op meant
Yea, I know. But they used the figure of speech in a fairly absolute way that I disagree with.
Being hot and wanted doesn’t make a person any less likely to be a predator.
The juxtaposition of "anyone he wants without raping them" against "sentenced to 30 years for rape" has a pretty clear contextual implication that you intentionally ignored.
Feel free to point out where that was referenced in the comment I was replying to.
I didn’t ignore it, it wasn’t relevant.
It's literally the title of the post my dude.
That was said in response to the context of Danny Masterson being sentenced to jail for rape.
It is relevant, and you are choosing to die on the hill of pedantry on a point no one but you is actually asserting. You choose to take a figure of speech, that was a juxtaposition of the title of the article and apply an absolute. It doesn't read that easy to anyone who isn't making a choice to omit the context.
I was going to say the same thing.
Rape is about power. Rapists aren’t interested in anyone who wants to give it to them consensually. They want to feel that they are really hurting someone, really destroying their humanity. If it doesn’t demean and permanently fuck up their victim then they want no part in it.
I think there's also a category of rapists who just flat out don't see their victims as people so they try to take whatever they want if they can get away with it.
It's still about power since they can only do that to people without power (temporarily due to impairment or permanently due to society).
But it's not the rapist getting off on having power, it's the rapist doing whatever they want because someone else has no power to stop them and the rapist has no empathy.

Narcissism, vs sadism.
