Hundreds of thousands of people were willing Condemn a innocent man. He was practically forced out of football. This is why we can't play jury from our sofas.

Oh jeez another rape apologist .

Why so nasty? The law must be fair

RufusTheSpartacusReindeer · 18/10/2016 22:44

The law reads 50 shades of grey

What?

venusinscorpio · 18/10/2016 22:44

It was the idiotic comment about 50 shades of grey that did it, user.

MrsLyons · 18/10/2016 22:45

Let'S not forget, Ched's family had to hire private investigators to get him cleared. All fine when people want to throw the book at him. Also these women are fine reading 50 Shades Of Grey yet cry foul when a real person does it to them?

The fuck???

50 Shades of Grey does not portray a healthy, adult relationship and is riddled with overtones of abuse and control. Also, it's badly written shite.

RufusTheSpartacusReindeer · 18/10/2016 22:48

Who the fuck is christian grey?

RufusTheSpartacusReindeer · 18/10/2016 22:49

Oh no

Dont worry i have worked it out now Grin

I thought 50 shades of grey was the sequel to the devil wears prada

My bad

RufusTheSpartacusReindeer · 18/10/2016 22:50

user

Which women?

Do you mean your mum?

PortiaCastis · 18/10/2016 22:50

Oh dear is that the best you can do. 50 shades of Grey was the silliest book I've ever tried to read.

RufusTheSpartacusReindeer · 18/10/2016 22:50

Railed you

Do you mean nailed you

HillaryFTW · 18/10/2016 22:50

Fuck off, user, you utter titmouse

user1476826468 · 18/10/2016 22:51

Besides, as another user upthread pointed out, dark-alley rape is far worse

Tarla · 18/10/2016 22:51

Who the fuck is christian grey?

A fictional dickhead who gets off on exerting control over vulnerable young women, using his position of wealth and influence to coerce them into giving questionable consent, he then uses them for his own sexual gratification.

Much like CE except, sadly, he is not fictional and actually did use a vulnerable young woman for his own sexual gratification without gaining solid consent.

Tarla · 18/10/2016 22:51

yet women love it

No, they really don't.

PortiaCastis · 18/10/2016 22:51

Some schools are already on half term so kiddies are up late

I havent read it

Is it good loser

Sorry user

MrsLyons · 18/10/2016 22:53

So if Christian Gray railed you you'd love it, but if Ched gives you a good porking it's rape?

Andddd, I'm out.

Tarla · 18/10/2016 22:53

I prefer books that are well written and don't use clichéd character tropes in order to hammer home a hackneyed version of what the author thinks women want.

venusinscorpio · 18/10/2016 22:54

Here's some news for you. Christian Grey is a fictional character. He is not actually capable of rape. If a similar man committed rape it would feel like any rape does to the victim.

FullTimeYummy · 18/10/2016 22:54

Mr grey is a very popular fictional character. His fans are almost exclusively female.

I suspect this is probably Ched Evans fault too
