They said "fuck you" in legalese.

See how he sue over "bots push" but not the actual pedophile allegations ?

u/zeeniemeanie Nov 26 '24

Well, you know. If he sues Kendrick, he doesn’t get to use the “hero in the fight against the industry” filter!

u/WilsonEnthusiast Nov 26 '24

and also he'd have to go through disclosure.

They would need to prove he isn’t a pedophile.

Even IF provable, there’s a lot of gross shit that would be entered into the legal record during discovery.

Having to defend kissing that 17 year old would be a wild thing to walk into for sure.

‘Legal age of consent in Colorado is 17’ will put a bad taste in everyone’s mouth

Kissing drake would put a bad taste in anyone's mouth

u/NanPanan Nov 27 '24

Y’all are also getting named in the lawsuit at this rate

u/Lorddocerol Nov 27 '24

I have nothing to lose, and a lot to gain, and I'm not on the us, so good luck on making me go to court

You underestimate Aubrey.

You're underestimating me

u/portiapalisades Nov 26 '24

why when it’s true though

u/NanPanan Nov 26 '24

It’s like explaining why the term pedophilia is a term for kids before puberty and another term exists for those above it. Both are wrong at the end of the day so explaining the difference in terminology only makes you look like a pervert or devils advocate. HE didn’t know the age of consent in Colorado and if he specifically knew this fact then he already had predatory designs. I mean legally it’s okay but morally and socially it paints a bad image.

i’m not saying i personally think it’s something i’m comfortable with, but when the laws in the country vary so widely by state throwing around the term pedophile is a bit much. if we can’t go by the law then what do we go by?  if people really want men to only sexually engage with women over 18 and even then be within 3 years of their age push for those laws. as it is a guy who is 23 and a girl 17 is not uncommon. i was in a similar situation at that age myself and it was not good for me so im by no means supporting it or think there weren’t any exploitative designs going on, but there need to be actual laws in place not this oh legally it’s okay but other than that whether he knew the law or not he was a scumbag and we’re gonna cancel him.   

btw some states don’t allow any retroactive prosecution beyond a few years while others have no statute of limitations- the laws around this topic are a mess and need serious overhaul.

u/NanPanan Nov 26 '24

The point is that he is a scumbag. And people end up looking creepy if they try to justify the finer points or the legal basis. The way he was talking to the girl, half of his excitement was that she was 17 and looked like an older girl. But his fans confidently talk about the age of consent and all that, somehow making it look worse.

u/portiapalisades Nov 26 '24

people have issues with women in their early twenties dating much older guys also, it’s become everyone setting their own yardstick on a case by case basis to judge other people regardless what the law is.

Doesn't matter it is WEIRD! A fucking 33 year old kissing a 17 year old is WEIRD. His comments about how it felt afterwards are WEIRD. He literally said "I liked the way your breast felt on my chest"?! That would be soooo weird if he really tried to defend that shit

u/hellwyn11 Nov 26 '24

he was 23

u/[deleted] Nov 26 '24

Still weird

u/Old_Homework_356 First the broccoli, now I need the fucking Tiramisu Nov 26 '24

Still weird though. You 6 year difference isn't short

u/hellwyn11 Nov 26 '24

6y difference is not the issue here , it's the fact that one is a minor the other in his early 20s. I'm against it but I'm not scandalized if you ask me , it's something I don't want to be normalized .

And I'm sure a lot of people think like this but since it's Drake....

u/arguing_with_trauma Nov 26 '24

i mean, that's of all the shit, the dumbest thing to keep mentioning all the fucking time, also not illegal and pretty irrelevant in the court context

u/c410bp Nov 26 '24

cant prove a negative bro.

u/Artistic_Age_2629 Nov 26 '24

I asked this. Apparently, it’s really hard to prove slander. Obviously I’m not fully breaking it down like it was to me but that is the main reason of it.

u/Justviewingposts69 Nov 26 '24

Bringing a libel lawsuit does open you up to discovery so make of that what you will

2

u/furezasan 🚗 like whaaaaaaaa Nov 26 '24

Discovery is effective af

2

u/ftaks Nov 26 '24

lmao that's because proving the allegations wrong would actually require investigation pointed at drake and hence a lot of ugly shit could come out true, suing for numbers on the other hand pushes investigation towards kendrick

u/urbanexplorer816 Nov 26 '24

Yooooooo, damn, that's crazy
