At 21 or 18 or even really 16 to be honest people do know the difference between right and wrong.
IMO what we need to change is a cultural expectation of whistle blowing if you know something. That’s the biggest thing that needs to change. If you’re mature enough to skate up to a guy in training camp and make homophobic slurs you’re mature enough to understand the difference between rape or not and what to do about it.
Speaking up in this situation is not rocket science and we are not talking about 4 or 5 year olds so we really ought to cut the crap.

I don’t disagree. I’m just saying there are a lot of layers of failure before it lands on a person who (while more influence no doubt) is under the same power dynamics as the victim and who is barely out of college. I’m much more disappointed in people like Campbell, Hossa, and Sharp.
Then once it gets to them they choose to use it as ammo for disgusting taunts and to still choose to remain silent now with the opportunity for a decade of growth, absolutely no excuse.
