I have a picture of myself with a celebrity

[Horse with no Name]

His cheek was on my cheek and his arm was around me.
Should I ruin his career?
I was stoked to get a pic with him 20 years ago but now I’d rather be his victim.

2. You do realize having a pic taken isnt sexual assault

That’s really the finer point. Sorry you missed it.

3. Very funny. n/t

[Horse with no Name]

6. Having a picture taken is not sexual assault

Please feel free to move on if your delicate insensibilities are offended.

8. Awfully anxious telling someone to delete their post

I would suggest you maybe wait a few days after joining before telling another DUer to delete their post. Maybe get the feel of this place first.

11. Let me say it again.

Photos taken with the opposite sex do not translate to sexual assault.

[bdamomma]

16. I agree

Again the whole sad situation with Senator Franken was a set up. Ok I will be always be a Democrat and vote Democratic, but not having a due process? something is not right here. I trust Senator Franken will be investigating this on his own. But there are people like Bannon, Roger Stone, Stephen Miller are the perpetrators of this. Bannon is a sick SOB too.

13. When someone can convince me that these photo opps constitute sexual assault, I'll agree with you.

15. The post should not be deleted as it's obvious the poster is referring to the WAIST grope accuser.

18. nonsense

making innocent gestures into "sexual assaults" is what is actually downplaying sexual assaults

[Bleacher Creature]

5. Sexual assault jokes are apparently the rage today on DU.

Here's another one: https://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1002&pid=9948120

And I've seen a bunch more. I literally saw a story last week going after Trump Jr. for making a similar "joke".

[Pacifist Patriot]

12. That's not my take.

I'd say it's mocking the woman who are claiming something that is not sexual assault is tantamount to sexual assault. Save your ire for the women who think someone touching their waist during a photo opp is somehow traumatizing. They are the ones making a mockery of sexual assault. It's galling and the OP is pointing that out.

7. Yes, let's trivialize sexual assault for political gain. NOT.

[LakeArenal]

9. It really wasnt a joke

It’s more like dark humor. Laugh or cry. To many of us, it’s exactly what happened yesterday. So, sorry if your sensibilities are hurt. Mine were crushed yesterday by a bunch of politically (not sensibility) motivated politicians to destroy a man’s career on very questionable evidence.
Shocking and dismaying it is Democrats.

10. Sexual harassment/abuse is not funny.

14. Mocking sexual assault.

It’s becoming too common around here.

[Kimchijeon]

17. That is what happened, and of course the repukes knew Dems would fall for it

All to willing to witch hunt over the slightest accusations, no matter how transparent.

The slightest amount of critical thought would tell anyone that these are bogus accusations, let alone a formal investigation!
(Then again, I am sure the liars would double down as they always do.)

Amazing that still, there are so many willing pavlovian "but we must believe, believe, believe, guilty guilty" voices - you do know the fascists are laughing their asses off at how gullible you all are? Right?? Sheez.
