  • I’ve been seeing the CFB ones, and I think those are bot posted, but maybe they didn’t mark it as a bot.

    At any rate, despite my lack of commenting for NFL games (just hasn’t been convenient to do so yet), I can just post the Titans ones myself. Lol I’m not super worried about it, I’m just here to shitpost





  • I’d say block the instance, but lemmy doesn’t allow that I don’t think. Seems like a feature request would work well there. It becomes a question of “how to keep discussions organized” vs “how to keep other federated instances happy”. It’s not exactly great to see a bunch of empty threads, but new users just expect them to be there or they leave. I think the vast majority of the sports Reddit subs had pre, during, and post game threads to organize discussion. The big thing there being they were buried in the deluge of posts on Reddit in general. Here they’re much more apparent. I think the fanaticus instances are specifically for sports discussions on general, so the sub block would be ideal.

    Would de-federating block subscribed users on your instance from seeing the posts as well? I’m still trying to remember what specifically different “federation” actions do and mean across platforms.













  • I don’t think that tracks; I’ve always been under the impression that age of consent was just when you could consent to sexual activity. It didn’t account for age differences, power dynamics, or other factors that push it towards statutory rape. It was “at this age, they are able to consent to activity”, and then you would have the limiting factors of age difference, power imbalance, family, etc applied through other statutes.

    I very well could be wrong or just applying knowledge of my own local area to places that don’t operate that way, so I’ll bow out on that. I do know that age of consent isn’t just a blanket shield against statutory rape in some locales or situations, though. The “statutory” part of statutory rape isn’t limited to only age of consent.


  • Take it up with Virginia; age of consent there is 15. Intercourse with a minor above 15 as an adult can still give you statutory rape charges, as referenced here: “The age of consent for intercourse is 15 years old in Virginia; however, there are other sex acts that set the age at 18. These acts include cunnilingus, fellatio, and anal intercourse, which means that minors cannot legally consent to certain sexual activity. Additionally, if you are an adult and have sex with a person under 18 years of age, you may be prosecuted for statutory rape. Statutory rape is generally charged as a Class 4 Felony, but the exact charge and penalties will depend on all the factors and ages involved.”

    It isn’t always the case, generally age of consent precludes it, but not always. Age of consent isn’t a get out of jail free card. Additionally, it doesn’t specify about relations between people in positions of power.

    It’s all moot anyway, Roiland lives in CA, and he was inviting a 17 year old to his house in Los Angeles. Age of consent there is 18. Did he assault her? No, but what 36 year old man is inviting a 17 year old to his house? Multiple other reports of girls at 18, still in high school, also receiving advances from him.
