I haven't seen a good Sanity Sunday since we moved to SaidIt. Here is a thread on reddit about rape, and the comments are refreshingly sane.

"Reddit is full of male survivors of rape by female predators." You call this sanity? I mean, it's sanity if the writer is being ironical - which he isn't.

No, I call it sanity that people say that that's not rape. You may be new to TiA but back when it was at it's peak on reddit, when Tumblr really was the source of most of the content, these sorts of things would get posted all the time and reddit comments would always just enforce how it is in fact rape. In fact I believe #2 on the compilation of best TiA posts of all time was a public service announcement in Australia that told people that if both parties are even a little under the influence then the man is a rapist.

It is refreshing and surprising to see reddit has come to their senses over this.

Let's put aside the fact that this might as well be a fake story (as 90% of Reddit posts are) that was posted just to gather an echo chamber of "no, you're right" (as 90% of Reddit posts are). The only reason people are showing some so-called sanity in the comments is that they get to say the woman is the villain and the main is innocent, which, again, is Reddit's national pasttime. What's so interesting or cool about it?

Oh, I thought you were serious at first. Sorry. I didn't realize you are one of those people who see everything backwards.

Or did you leave reddit back in 2012 when this was still the case?
