Sorry, I won't back down on the insistence that there's "gray" area. The woman pursued legal action and was paid off by Kobe to keep quiet. It's rape. Let's not dress it up otherwise.

And again, I'm not disagreeing with you that *I* believe it was rape. Therefore *I* do not collect Kobe cards. If *I* collected Kobe cards, despite thinking he is a rapist, I would be passively supporting rape culture.
And honestly, I appreciate your hard stance on rape culture. I don't understand why you're going along with this idea that the feelings of a sexual assault victim, which irfujl shared, can be ignored because irfujl collects Kobe cards.
Yes, it would be hypocritical for irfujl to condemn Trump while collecting Kobe, IF irfujl feels the same way about Kobe that you and I do. It would still not invalidate the quotes he shared.
