I dont totally know the history here but just to be clear, the Red Army did this no more than the Western allies did correct?

IIRC it gets deployed against every ontologically evil designated enemy. I know it was deployed against Iraqis during the first Gulf War, with Hillary Clinton claiming Saddam was issuing his troops with Viagra specifically so they could [redacted] more. This is me misremembering, see replies.

I don’t doubt r**e was a claim made against Iraqis too, but it’s the absurd claim about soldiers taking babies from incubators that most sticks out in my memory when it comes to Iraq and the first Gulf War. However, Hilary Clinton talking about soldiers being given viagra was definitely about Gaddafi. Keep in mind who was in power when those respective conflicts were happening.

Wasn’t that Gaddafi? The timeline doesn’t match, since Viagra wasn’t even on the market until the late 90s (hard to forget the time hack Viagra jokes were suddenly everywhere). Also, why would Hillary have said anything? H.W. Bush was president then.

Could also argue that Japan codified it during WW2 in the occupation of China and Korea. But rape as a weapon is a conservative tool. It’s why conservatives oppose abortion so much.

the red army was the ONLY army in WW2 that punished soldiers who did this. Usually by a bullet to the head by the nearest political officer.

i think the amerikkkans hanged some black soldiers, but that might’ve been during WW1 and they were basically just lynchings

https://journals.openedition.org/rccsar/476 this is an interesting article about the way nato basically spun all the SA the red army did into the standard anti-communist points of: “hordes of asiatics doing horrible crimes constantly”

in the end though, show me an army that doesnt r#pe and i’ll show you the unit manual for Starcraft 2, sadly

we can avoid making an obviously false statement just to emphasize that the soviet military had policies against it.

At the very least, even if he’s not into bad shit, its weird to flaunt your horniness in your username like that, especially in such a redditsh way. (exceptions made for @HornyOnMain@hexbear.net whom we love dearly)

“Lewds” isn’t exclusively about kiddie creeping, but it’s hard for me to shake the association with kiddie creeping because of decades of kiddie creepers on places like 4ch!n talking about “lewds” in the way that that typically meant there.

The word is contaminated for me, and I see it as a warning sign when someone uses it openly like that.

It’s basically a dog whistle for the pedo cartoons.

The word is everywhere in weeb circles. I refuse to use it because if you’re an adult you can just use the actual words when talking about sex.

“Lewd” is an oddly infantilizing euphemism, it’s a word you’d use when talking about sex to someone who still giggles every time you say “penis”, to whom sex is a naughty word. That’s the vibe that that word gives me and why I don’t like it.
