I ain't interested in getting into an argument about what kind of rape is better.

Don't know why you're getting downvoted. Rape is rape. This isn't the rape Olympics or something.

Because it's disgusting,. An adult woman feeling pressured to consent because of a power differential is absolutely not even in the same galaxy as literal child sex slaves being unable to say no because they're literally child sex slaves. It's horrific to equivocate the two, and it's a transparent attempt to downplay the hypocrisy being highlighted while "both-sides"ing the issue.
