Mock, stop playing up to this character that you think people like. Nobody is laughing, nobody is entertained.

If you can't handle different opinions like a grown-up then I'll come back on later as I'm hugary anyway and can't be bothered to keep arguing over a scripted event on a scripted Reality Show. We're all just falling for what Ch5 wants here by discussing it. |
Wow at the nastiness towards Mock just for not pandering to common opinion.

My opinion is that it wasn't a sexual assault. I am entitled to hold that opinion too. If it was a sexual assault then the police would be involved. Joel admitted today that he wanted aaron to come back and feels responsible for him leaving. |

Aaron flashed him multiple times, he invaded Joel's personal space, he got into bed with him naked all while Joel was making it abundantly clear that he didn't want any of it. Sounds like a sexual assault to me. |

And I am entitled to think your opinion is rubbish. And what's more, I can do it without claiming the adults in your life have failed you. I can get my opinion over without hurling insults. So if it is a sexual assault then why aren't the police involved? Why has joel said he feels responsible for aaron leaving and wants him back? |

Yeah, it's a shame because it was just drunken messing around that went too far, but if a man had done that to a woman, the same would and should have happened. Hopefully it teaches Aaron a valuable lesson about boundaries.
People saying Joel did nothing to discourage it need to remember that he had the rest of the house, including the people he's close to, laughing and encouraging Aaron and sometimes in a situation like that, the easiest thing to do is try and laugh with it. |
People wouldn't be so quick to defend Aaron if Joel was a girl. I'm guessing the truth of the matter is that people think that Joel's gay and that somehow makes what Aaron did okay. Joel was nervously laughing because he was wildly uncomfortable, laughter is not consent, especially when Joel made it clear that he wanted Aaron to stop.

I think that Big Brother should have given a warning, but that they should have given him a warning last week. I defo think Aaron deserved to go. His whole attitude towards Joel for days has been very provocative. Joel has clearly been uncomfortable with it all along. It definitely stepped over the line. Is it only me that was appalled at the housemates going on and on egging Joel to kiss Aaron, even though Joel made it clear he was uncomfortable with it? Maybe that would have been a good point for BB to throw in a warning.

The reason aaron carried on was because joel didn't give him any real indication that he was unhappy with it. |

Joel appears to not agree with you. He hasn't made a police complaint and he says he feels responsible for aaron leaving. |

What I find most astonishing about this thread is that people think that their own opinions are more important than Joel's.
Bottom line is: if the victim was made uncomfortable, then the persecutor was in the wrong. Joel made it crystal ****ing clear that the advances were unwelcome and the line is not up for anybody but Joel to determine. |
