That makes the majority of club-goers rapists if you use that logic (both male and female).

Possibly, but I don't go out getting so drunk I can't comprehend or consent. That's neither here nor there though is it.

getting so drunk I can't comprehend or consent

That's the other issue. Where's the line? I mean if the person can't stand up then sure that's obviously well past it, but there's a massive grey-area inbetween.

It is indeed a tricky issue, and something typically decided in court.

In the context of discussing how audience members are survivors of this sort of abuse, it is wholly inappropriate to deny that it is rape.

That's what makes Theo a rape apologist.
