NOTE: This is simply an illustration on what specifically constitutes as rape based on the definitions provided, not sexual assault or harassment, both of which are much more broad terms. This is also not arguing what is and is not considered to be ethical or acceptable behaviour, as that is an entirely different issue for debate. Terms may vary depending on your area of residence.

I don't know if it's me being too nice or not. Regardless, I do have my reasons for rating this piece as such.
What I like about this work is the following
1) It exceeds beyond the generalities/grey area levels to most extent and explores each case with it's own equation and results.
2) It's displaying the info on the objective side of things using information and displaying that the user indeed take time to research on the subject in question. The maker clearly states them with no internal emotional bias
3) The legend is placed accordingly at the top using clearly explained colors and symbols necessary to create the equations of each case that can be imagined/is known.
When viewing this image, I see a clear "not all cases are the same" and I really believe this type of mindset is important. We as people are stuck placing generalities that could greatly impact the lives of others. Cases such as rape is something that has to be explored in a case by case basis and not something that should reach to rash conclusions based primarily on unstable emotions hidden (or not) from public eyes.
It's not completely perfect as a small amount of equation scenarios could cause some controversy. But, I believe this info-graph will make people start to use their minds more on such subject matters and view each situation through an objective lens rather than decide too quick on the subjective/emotional aspect in regards to the topic.

Thank you for the critique! Everything you said was exactly what I was going for!

Well that's the point of this infographic, which is to clear up what does and doesn't constitute "rape" under the definitions provided. You can't do that without having a specific definition to work with.

Well yeah, that's the entire point. Rape is a prosecutable offense, which can only be done if the action fits the legal definition of it. And given the seriousness of the accusation, semantics mean absolutely everything here.

Thanks! It's pretty amazing how far we can stray when we get distracted.

what i don't understand is if one person has an x but also an (!) how does that work or both have (!) and (!)
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
As I mentioned, the (!) means they we forced to participate. So if neither is a willing participant, then a third-party is forcing them to do it.

oh like what some sick family members make siblings do

Yes, that's a good example. Another one would be in Hollywood, where powerful people like Harvey Weinstein demand actors and actresses to do unnecessary sexual favours in order to advance their career.

yeah...so many situations that kinda confused me
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Same. Which is all the more important to make distinctions like this.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
does that make the third party the rapist or the first party who was forced into it?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
It doesn't make them a rapist unless they actually rape someone. However, it does makes them guilty of criminal coercion. Anyone who is legitimately forced to do something like that is never to blame, as they have no choice.

just making sure, because i can see how that is easily a slippery slope
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I know. That's why it's all the more important to have consistent standards.

yeah, i like some of your political stuff...not all which is ok, but some
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
you can see my stuff and see what you like, i have very little political stuff- i just don't like all the stress that comes with it
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, politics can really wear you down mentally.

especially when you have hard courses and going through puberty and need to know how to drive and manage a healthy relationship and preparing for college

A not only didn't consent, but he initially tries to push B away. Yes, this is rape.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I agree. And thank you!

Question.
If A younger female (under 18) would force an older man(let's say 18-20, legal aged)
to have sex, Who would be blamed, The man or the female?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
The younger female, of course. The older person didn't willing consent, so it's rape. It's indicated on the second column.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I Was curious about that, Since in almost all cases the males are blamed.
(Pretty much for having the penis..)
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, unfortunately. But if it's any consolation, there ARE reasonable people out there.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I know, right? Pathetic.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Out the fucking window and buried.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
idk if it's on there, since the image is a bit hard to read on my mobile phone but if two people were married and one decided to have sex and the other one did not but their partner continued their advances even after saying "I don't feel like it" or just straight up "no", it still be rape, right?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well yeah. That would be the very definition of rape in its purest form.
