"I can go on and on listing sources and quotes and evidence," Sometimes all a person can believe what they're being told is when evidence is produced. I'm not saying rape culture doesn't exist, but it seems to me that Keiko is someone who needs logic to believe.

The E3 rape joke, which can be found on youtube and other sources using google

That debacle about a year ago where a drunk girl was passed around at a party by a bunch of guys and raped, and the news constantly victimized the “boys” and blamed the victim for being drunk

The fact that people argue constantly that “it’s just a joke” or “That’s not rape at all”

But that isn’t the problem here.

The problem is he’s completely getting the concept of ‘rape culture’ wrong by saying it applies to law, when it’s a term that applies to culture and media.

When he says stuff like this:

“To what groups, should “rape culture” be implied or assumed toward? In my eyes, it is criminals found guilty under the law that commit the act of rape.”

I get incredibly upset because it’s completely void of the point. Rape culture is about media enabling and encouraging the idea of rape either being okay or not being a thing, where normal, everyday people assume it’s okay to joke about it or to victim blame.

It has NOTHING to do with criminals. It has to do with a society that practically breeds rapists and tells women they aren’t allowed to report their rape without being shamed, hurt, or called a liar.

So what he was saying was that it’s only rape if you get arrested? That’s messed up.
