Sure you can say they're about the case which is about hockey but you can relate almost anything to hockey that way. Treat this forum like going to a hockey game and talking to the general public, walk into an arena and start talking about the legal definitions of rape, the judicial system, and most everything else talked about in this thread and people will get annoyed and try to focus on hockey. Talking about Brodie's broken bone or what's going on with Richard's contract and you'll likely have a conversation because it's actually hockey related.
This thread hasn't been about hockey in a long time and it seems like the people who want to keep discussing the things in here are the social justice warriors who know everything about the law.
No one said anything about it being a friendly place for women or brought up your "sensitive female brain", bringing those up makes you kind of look like a "feminazzi"

EE did:
"I don't like rape or the topic and I don't appreciate the constant reminder if it when looking for Flames news. If you really believed the removal of the other thread was done in mind to make the Flames forum a friendlier place for females then you can't have a thread discussing rape unless you believe female Flames fans don't actually come here for Flames talk/news and prefer to read forum experts go back and forward daily about a rape topic."
The attempt to draw a parallel to allow this important discussion to continue, and removal of the hot chick thread is actually one of the strangest and mis-guided things I've ever read on this board.
And god I'm tired of whenever people want to talk about important stuff that people trot out the SJW label. Stick your head in the sand if you want and the rest of us will try to make this world better by actually dealing with these issues.
Yeah this stuff is uncomfortable, so you don't have to be in this thread. But we are not going to sweep it under the rug or just isolate it to the off topic forum. It is about one of the NHL biggest stars. It is valid here.
I was resisting posting this as I don't think we want this debate to continue, but I couldn't resist.
