Finnick is rapist because Annie can't consent

My remembrance of the books are sketchy but...she loved him and he seemed to understand her issues from being in the games...that obviously doesn't imply consent, but I can't imagine him raping her? What is this?

It was some post on tumblr about five months ago. Annie couldn't consent because she was mentally ill? It's the reason I stopped reading the Finnick Odair tag because it was such bullshit. It supposes that anyone who suffers from PTSD or other trauma related disorders is incapable of consent and anyone who has sex with them is a rapist. It's an offensive opinion. I haven't read the books, but your understanding of their relationship and her state of mind was the same as mine based on the information I have about the characters through the films and meta.

I actually agree that that's a very offensive thing. How is a person supposed to move on from a trauma if they're treated as if they're untouchable.

Hell while I have a developmental disorder rather than a trauma related one I'd be pretty pissed if someone acted like I couldn't' give consent because of it.

Eh, I'd argue it that it depends on the exact nature of the illness or disorder. I've met people who [due to a disorder] will never have a mental age past 10 years old, and I'd argue that they can't consent for the same reasons a child can't consent. Otherwise...yeah. I've been pissed when I've heard people argue that mentally ill can't consent [though it is pretty funny to seem them backtrack and cover their asses when I point out that I'd be included in that technically.]

That's true.

It sort goes to show you gotta be careful about making such statements "traumatized people can't consent" or "people with this disorder can't consent". If possible people should think about the individual they're concerned about.

You can't assume two people who've been through some trauma would be the same.
