Rundown:

rpanons is an anonymous community for role-play related topics. This place serves as a forum for game discussions, canon discussions, RP solicitations (ATP, game ads, open memes), and advice. The occasional off topic comment is inevitable, but please keep heated social and political topics to their respective communities. Posting them here will only get them frozen. Subsequent threads made to bypass a freeze will then be deleted.

Rules:

Do not post pornographic or shocking images.
Do not share private entries, plurks, chat logs, etc.
Do not use this community as your social/political/hatespeech soapbox.
Do not be redundant. One page does not need three or more threads on one topic/theme.
Do not treat this comm like your personal Plurk or Twitter. Off-topic happens, but it should be open for discussion and not just a play-by-play of your life. No one cares.

self-defense is a defense that may be asserted to a charge of murder. it is a valid reason for a not guilty verdict.

and before anyone says anything, it's also a defense to assault/battery/etc. and defending yourself from a rape is universally recognized at common law as a defense to murder. there is no state in which that isn't a thing.

You're assuming self-defense can be proven. Rape commonly is a crime that has zero witnesses and a lack of evidence and what little evidence there is can easily be spun by a good prosecutor to look like murder and not self-defense. That's a big issue with the courts in at least the US. At minimum the victim of attempted rape is going to be spending a lot on a good lawyer.

defending yourself from a rape with reasonable force is a thing.

any prosecutor worth their salt would milk those last three words for all they're worth. it'd be a douchey thing to do but it's a douchey profession.
