Get the high resolution and working files on this piece through my SubscribeStar here! www.subscribestar.com/brentche…After a thoroughly exhausting and excruciatingly stupid debate online I had with people on whether drunk sex constitutes as rape, as well as being labelled as a "rape supporter" or "the poster child for rape" (yes, that was actually said about me), I decided to create an infographic laying out as many possible situations as I could in which a sexual encounter may occur and whether or not it qualifies are rape, along with any possible exceptions.
NOTE: This is simply an illustration on what specifically constitutes as rape based on the definitions provided, not sexual assault or harassment, both of which are much more broad terms. This is also not arguing what is and is not considered to be ethical or acceptable behaviour, as that is an entirely different issue for debate. Terms may vary depending on your area of residence.

I don't know if it's me being too nice or not. Regardless, I do have my reasons for rating this piece as such.
What I like about this work is the following
1) It exceeds beyond the generalities/grey area levels to most extent and explores each case with it's own equation and results.
2) It's displaying the info on the objective side of things using information and displaying that the user indeed take time to research on the subject in question. The maker clearly states them with no internal emotional bias
3) The legend is placed accordingly at the top using clearly explained colors and symbols necessary to create the equations of each case that can be imagined/is known.
When viewing this image, I see a clear "not all cases are the same" and I really believe this type of mindset is important. We as people are stuck placing generalities that could greatly impact the lives of others. Cases such as rape is something that has to be explored in a case by case basis and not something that should reach to rash conclusions based primarily on unstable emotions hidden (or not) from public eyes.
It's not completely perfect as a small amount of equation scenarios could cause some controversy. But, I believe this info-graph will make people start to use their minds more on such subject matters and view each situation through an objective lens rather than decide too quick on the subjective/emotional aspect in regards to the topic.

What? Do we really need this?
I mean, why does this need a critique?
Also, sorry if I'm a bit quite in this.

Well that's the point of this infographic, which is to clear up what does and doesn't constitute "rape" under the definitions provided. You can't do that without having a specific definition to work with.

Well yeah, that's the entire point. Rape is a prosecutable offense, which can only be done if the action fits the legal definition of it. And given the seriousness of the accusation, semantics mean absolutely everything here.

I was looking at Cargo Ships for a space based TV show idea. I have no idea how I got here. I tend to agree with your definitions, and with your arguments in the discussions below, however.

Thanks! It's pretty amazing how far we can stray when we get distracted.

what i don't understand is if one person has an x but also an (!) how does that work or both have (!) and (!)
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
As I mentioned, the (!) means they we forced to participate. So if neither is a willing participant, then a third-party is forcing them to do it.

oh like what some sick family members make siblings do
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yes, that's a good example. Another one would be in Hollywood, where powerful people like Harvey Weinstein demand actors and actresses to do unnecessary sexual favours in order to advance their career.

yeah...so many situations that kinda confused me
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Same. Which is all the more important to make distinctions like this.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
does that make the third party the rapist or the first party who was forced into it?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
It doesn't make them a rapist unless they actually rape someone. However, it does makes them guilty of criminal coercion. Anyone who is legitimately forced to do something like that is never to blame, as they have no choice.

just making sure, because i can see how that is easily a slippery slope
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I know. That's why it's all the more important to have consistent standards.

yeah, i like some of your political stuff...not all which is ok, but some

you can see my stuff and see what you like, i have very little political stuff- i just don't like all the stress that comes with it
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, politics can really wear you down mentally.

especially when you have hard courses and going through puberty and need to know how to drive and manage a healthy relationship and preparing for college

I will add a HYPOTHETICAL scenario. Here it goes:
A young man, just reached age of consent, lets call him A, visits an old friend of his father for the weekend.We call him B. It is planned that A would sleep in the guest room right next to Bs bedroom.
There is an over 20 year age gap between the two.
On the first day, A is asked by B if it is one of his sexual fantasies that a hot girl would sneak into his room while he sleeps and have sex with him, wakeing him up in this way. A answers with yes, and B makes some scary comments afterwards about makeing this dream a reality. B makes A promise that he would never tell anyone. Not even his future wife when he is married for 30 years.
In the Night, A had almost fallen asleep, B sneaks into the guest room and strokes As penis, takes in his mouth and gently bites it. A tries to push B away, once he notices him, but B remembers A about his given consent.
A then tries to ignore it and hopes for his erection to go away, but that doesnt happen, so he instead pictures a hot girl in his head and focusses on that until he ejaculates. That is when B retreats and lets A sleep.
Afterwards, A feels ashamed, betrayed by his body for haveing that erection to the point where he even considers cutting his penis off, mad and angry at B for what he did but yet obligated to keep this promise.
A starts to lie to B about where he lives, refuses to tell B his new phone number after he changed it for unrelated reasons and generally avoids him.
It took years for A to realize that he could have been raped, but he still is not 100% sure if what he want through classifies as rape. He breakes the promise and tells his girlfriend about it after realizeing that, asking her if it is rape. She says it is. For context: he did not have a girlfriend when that took place.
Months later, A gets brave enough to tell his godfather about it. He agrees that it is rape and offers him to come with him reporting B to the authorities.
A has yet to build up the courage to tell anybody else.
Did a Rape happen?
(THIS IS A TOTALLY HYPOTHETICAL SCENARIO AND IT IS NOT IMPLIED THAT THIS EVER HAPPENED TO ANYONE!!!! ESPECCIALLY NOT ME!!!!)
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
A not only didn't consent, but he initially tries to push B away. Yes, this is rape.

The fact that you had to make a deviation explaining to people what rape is is sad. This should be common sense.
Great work by the way!

I agree. And thank you!

Question.
If A younger female (under 18) would force an older man(let's say 18-20, legal aged)
to have sex, Who would be blamed, The man or the female?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
The younger female, of course. The older person didn't willing consent, so it's rape. It's indicated on the second column.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I Was curious about that, Since in almost all cases the males are blamed.
(Pretty much for having the penis..)
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, unfortunately. But if it's any consolation, there ARE reasonable people out there.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
This is sad. That you have to literally address every possible scenario. Common sense is way more simple.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I know, right? Pathetic.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, it's sad that it has come to this. What happened to common sense?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Out the fucking window and buried.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
idk if it's on there, since the image is a bit hard to read on my mobile phone but if two people were married and one decided to have sex and the other one did not but their partner continued their advances even after saying "I don't feel like it" or just straight up "no", it still be rape, right?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well yeah. That would be the very definition of rape in its purest form.
