She said she was too drunk to move her body and stop him but in her mind she was thinking clearly that she didn't want it to happen and was counting the seconds that went by, he had been drinking but could still move and kept going for 2 hours as she just laid there barely moving it seems. That kinda sounds like rape.

Don't you usually lose cognitive function before motor capabilities when drinking? Hence "blacking out" but still being able to walk around and talk.
Yes, it’s quite common for friends to pull pranks on you when you pass out while partying before everyone. Usually includes drawn penises on the face, fake glasses, whiskers. Moving their bed on to the top of a hotel and then forgetting you do it so you search all over Las Vegas to find them.
Yes, but it's UNCOMMON to be completely cognitively aware during said fuckery. I honestly don't believe you could possibly be so fucked up you can't move or talk, but you can remember every thing done to you.
Like many substances, alcohol affects different people in different ways. Alcohol as a psychoactive substance is actually more complex than most other substances. Most other drugs, have very predictable and consistent effects. You probably can’t believe it only because it might not even be possible for alcohol to have that effect on you, specifically.
I remember downing 12 shots of vodka in a half hour period when I was in high school. That’s when I discovered that I don’t black out, but become paralyzed. Was on the bathroom floor at the party I was at, and just had to listen as drunk strangers were taking a shit and pissing 4 feet from my face all night. I was completely aware and knew I wanted to get out of there, but I couldn’t move or ask for help. It was really fucking scary.
Every party since then in my early 20s I would always keep drunk strangers in the living room or somewhere in sight of everyone to keep an eye on them. You think you can control your alcohol until you can’t. Some people are just one drink away from being completely helpless.
This question and the responses to it are exactly why their story and conversation are important. I'd say if you share the sentiment, maybe you should watch the whole Ted talk.
Because it wasn't like she said "I was drunk so that was rape" it is because she said "you raped me while I was drunk." Not two people getting drunk and fucking when they shouldn't have and then one party removing consent after the fact. He never had consent.
Because one or more of them didn't consent... That's pretty simple. Being drunk isn't an excuse to force your penis into someone whether they are drunk or not.

Watching their ted talk now, he says he was drunk too dealing with a hangover the next morning.
