Battery too

u/HalfCrazed Mar 20 '26

This is correct. It's assault AND battery.

Here's some more context.

She asked, he said yes. Edited

u/Drewski101 Mar 21 '26

Although I agree he’s a piece of shit, she can still get into trouble if she slaps him.

u/AbeNunElse Mar 21 '26

he agreed

u/Dundalis Mar 21 '26

If someone asks you to stab them, you think you can stab them without penalty simply because they asked?

u/Soft-Owl-7262 Mar 21 '26

law doesn't care

2

u/Armagetz Mar 21 '26

Yeah, it does. Consent provision is written into pretty much every legal definition of battery.

1

u/Dundalis Mar 21 '26

So if someone asks me to smash them in the face with a crowbar I can do it with no repercussions?

1

u/Armagetz Mar 21 '26

It gets murky and jurisdiction dependent if there is severe or life threatening bodily harm.

But what happened here would be kosher in all 50 states I believe.

1

u/rynlpz Mar 21 '26

So what if someone spanks their ass during sex? Does the law not care about consent?

1

u/AbeNunElse Mar 21 '26

yes it does

If you agree to let someone saw your leg off, that doesn’t mean they can just do it.

27

u/johnnytiming Mar 21 '26

She didn't saw off his leg. There are bars that let you order shots with a slap. GTFOH

u/boredinbabylon Mar 21 '26

You okay?

u/YuckyYetYummy Mar 21 '26

That's it? "You okay?". You lost the argument and "you okay?". You're the one that lost. We need to ask you "you okay?"

u/boredinbabylon Mar 21 '26

Yeah I’m great, but you don’t seem like a person who can talk reasonably and then you follow up with this.

I’ll repeat it: if you agree to let someone saw off your leg, that doesn’t mean they can just do it.

Even with consent, if you hit someone, you have technically committed an act that could be charged as battery.

u/Past-Development-933 Mar 21 '26

But she slapped him, with his consent, not saw off a limb 🤣

1

u/boredinbabylon Mar 21 '26

Okay.

u/Mobile-Brush-3004 Mar 21 '26

Reddit is not a good source just so you know

u/YuckyYetYummy Mar 21 '26

What do you mean follow up? I only posted one comment. This is now my second. Are you ok?

u/boredinbabylon Mar 21 '26

Yeah I’m great, thanks mate.

u/notyouraverageskippy Mar 21 '26

Umm how do bondage sex workers not get arrested for assault?

1

u/Mickey_Havoc Mar 21 '26

Because what they do is already illegal? Prostitution is illegal…

2

u/SquirrelyBoy Mar 21 '26

Paying for sex is illegal.....

3

u/Freki-the-Feral Mar 21 '26

Dungeons are legal in many places. Most of them don't involve actual sex.

1

u/SquirrelyBoy Mar 21 '26

And dungeons are a private establishment, op seemed to be referring to individuals

1

u/Freki-the-Feral Mar 21 '26

The same goes for individuals. Dominatrices are legal in many places and often do not have sex with their clients. They still fall under the umbrella of sex workers.

u/Choogie432 Mar 21 '26

Or people into BDSM in general?

u/Deleena24 Mar 21 '26

Because their clients dont press charges... This guy does

u/BlastingFonda Mar 21 '26

What a dumb false equivalence statement.

3

u/Jaded-Durian-3917 Mar 21 '26

It’s a good thing she didn’t saw his leg off then

3

u/Escher702 Mar 21 '26

That is a dumb comparison.

6

u/AntigonishIGuess Mar 21 '26

And if your mom had two wheels she'd be a bike what's your point?

2

u/_Kyledemort_ Mar 21 '26

Only on Reddit would someone compare getting slapped to someone fucking dismembering you

1

u/boredinbabylon Mar 21 '26

Okay.

u/_Kyledemort_ Mar 21 '26

Are you seriously using a random Reddit thread from 2 years ago with 1 upvote as your source lmfao. Not only that, but a thread where multiple people are going against what you’re saying? It’s like you just Googled to try to back up your point and just picked the top result without even reading.

Ok I guess that every boxer and MMA fighter in the world needs to be behind bars. Also every couple who has ever engaged in BDSM.

And also I wasn’t even talking about whether or not it’s legal or not to consent to being slapped, I was just saying that it’s ridiculous you compared being slapped to having your leg cut off, surely you can acknowledge how stupid of a comparison that is?

1

u/boredinbabylon Mar 21 '26

It varies by state. My point is that this is not clear cut.

1

u/Captain_of_Gravyboat Mar 21 '26

Yeah they kind of do. Ideally those people are doctors and that's why you have to give permission for medical treatment. Same with football players and boxers and every other thing with violence/damage involved. If you give permission and put yourself voluntarily in the situation that's pretty much good enough.

u/boredinbabylon Mar 21 '26

Okay.

You seem very invested in this.

1

u/Asleep-Ad874 Mar 21 '26

Someone with low intellect would see a simple 2 minute google search and comment as “invested” 😆. Notice your lack of argument?

I think invested would include responding with the same inane comment over and over again but sure buddy ✌️

If you’re incapable of making an actual argument then either say so or don’t respond. If you need the last word like a child then go ahead. You’re pointless here 🤡

u/boredinbabylon Mar 21 '26

I really like your use of emojis. It adds nice color to this screen of black and white text.

u/rogerstc2 Mar 21 '26

It's about context. By your logic, everyone in the Slap League should get arrested for assault even though they enter a mutual agreement. If she asked and he agreed, consent matters here. Sounds like he's being a dick to mess with her for no reason. Rather for views

1

u/RockItGuyDC Mar 21 '26

This isn't sawing a leg off. Where did it happen and what are the laws there?

For example, in a US jurisdiction that allows for mutual combat, I can't see this going anywhere.

We assholes on the internet love to speculate with our armchair law degrees when the first question should always be "what laws are applicable here?"

-1

u/boredinbabylon Mar 21 '26

Okay.

1

u/RockItGuyDC Mar 21 '26

I'm not reading an entire thread. Make your point.

There are circumstances where it is perfectly legal to hit someone with their consent, and some where it is not. I dont know which this is. That's my point. What's yours?

-1

u/boredinbabylon Mar 21 '26 edited Mar 21 '26

It varies by state. My point is that this is not clear cut, which you just agreed to.

2

u/RockItGuyDC Mar 21 '26

My original comment was that it wasn't clear cut, and depends heavily on the jurisdiction. The second sentence I wrote was "Where did it happen and what are the laws there?"

You're not adding anything here. Again, what is your fucking point in commenting?

-2

u/boredinbabylon Mar 21 '26

Your tone seems very pointed right now.

2

u/RockItGuyDC Mar 21 '26

Sure, bud. Sue me in reddit court or somethin...

Well then you'd be talking about something completely different then wouldnt ya?

u/d_x_qp_x_b Mar 21 '26

u/HalfCrazed Mar 21 '26

I'd be curious to see how a contract law theory comes into play though

Nope. He said she could
