     @lienrag @wizzwizz4
     > rape between consenting adults
     That's a contradiction in terms.

     @wizzwizz4

     A lot of BDSM practices would count as war crimes if inflicted on prisoners of war. And would obviously count as sexual assault.

     Some religious practices would also count for war crime if inflicted on prisoners of war, and I guess some even for sexual assault if you look into tantrism or the like.

     And no, the government has no right to prevent rape between consenting adults, and it's controversed for murder.

     @wizzwizz4 I don't. Is this a ban on all forms of intervention that aim to change a person's sexual orientation, or just those that they feel are abusive? And even if they are abusive, it doesn't matter. The individual has the right to decide that, not the government.

     @Hyolobrika It would be a war crime to inflict parts of "conversion therapy" on prisoners of war.

     Does the government have the right to prevent murder or rape? (Some "conversion therapy" would definitely count as sexual assault at the least.)

     Seriously… you could at least have looked up what this practice *was* first.

     @diffrentcolours ( @Seirdy repeated ) what if someone willingly undergoes conversion therapy for themself?

     @Hyolobrika Who the fuck would? Do you know what conversion “therapy” is like‽

     @lienrag @wizzwizz4 I don't need to see anything. "Consensual rape" will always be an oxymoron until the meanings of the words change.

     You're young, apparently...
     But you probably better stay that way, some things cannot be unseen and I don't have eye bleach for you.
