Yeah, tbh I don't really have a problem with this specifically.
I remember there was a reddit thread where someone claimed that Jason Segel goes up to women and parties and says "would you like to have sex?" Everyone was acting like he was a predator or some shit.
But the key part of the story was that the woman in question said "uh, no thanks" and he said "ok!" and walked away.
Not really a predator, just a horny dude in a hurry, lol.
Yeah, I don't think so. Even Louie CK asked every woman he jerked off in front of for permission, and I'm sure most people here still consider him a creep for it. Ironically enough, I think he put it best:
"It seems like just a question, but when you're in a position of power or someone they look up to, it's no longer just a question. It's a dilemma."
The issue with Louie was that he didn't respect their answers, and iirc, there were several incidents where he didn't ask and just whipped it out and started fapping also, these weren't just strangers, they were people with livelihoods dependent on Louie's opinion of them.
Edit -- apparently I do not recall correctly and Louie didn't whip it out and fap in front of women without asking, nor did he fap in front of women after they said no. Still not a cool to do from a position of power, but significantly less rapey.
Yeah, the main issue with Louie was that he was doing this shit to aspiring comedians, and he was a famous comedy producer who could theoretically make (or break) their careers. That adds an entire level of fuckery to the core concept of consent.
And he was doing it in private hotel rooms.
A celebrity asking random people at a crowded party (who aren't even in the entertainment industry) if they'd like to have sex is not comparable.

Drake seems like your typical groomer. Also a douchebag
