“And what I think is important to know is a lot of the increase in rape also comes from an expanded definition of what counts as rape, as well as survivors coming forward for acts that took place years prior,” Mamdani said. “And we are thankful for them coming forward, the courage and the bravery it takes, but just to provide New Yorkers with that context.”
In 2024 New York instituted a new law that, per the NYPost, "classifies rape as nonconsensual or forcibly compelled sexual intercourse, oral sexual conduct or anal sexual conduct after previously defining rape as only nonconsensual or forcibly compelled vaginal penetration by a penis."
So... New York (rightly!) expanded the definition of what counts as rape. More survivors (thankfully!) came forward. As a result, official rates of rape increased. So Mamdani was... right and everyone is just yelling about this in bad faith?
@bioluminosity if you really had to be a -fun person it could just only allow darkness verbs so slow, unravel, and sever cause then its a lore thing as an excuse for balance i just feel like while LC is good it could just be so much better (like 1k in terms of flavor)
@bioluminosity should've made the catalyst able to leech other elemental debuffs but only 1 at a time for "balance". like a 4th circle on scope and its color shows what debuff you leeched imagine scorching volatile or slowed weaken shit would be crazy
