Yes- whether implied or not, the gun - that's not right. Reading through this from the original thread, I had a feeling this was going to come back to haunt him. I questioned him about it on the thread from that day because I was disturbed by the statement- and I asked him what he meant by the statement and he provided an explanation. I let it go because I couldn't relate to it from a male perspective and the circumstances involved.
I'm sorry @Benefited but that doesn't sit right with me. I'm not coming at you with malice bc I thought you had some good points on other issues in here and we have agreed/disagreed on other discussions prior but in my heart of hearts, I can't back you up on that whole "pistol" on the dresser. Because from my perspective, if it was me in that situation; I would definitely feel some type of way about engaging in a sexual situation if I see a gun in full view- it's menacing, and the implied threat of forcing consent is there and sends the wrong message. I was also brought up around enough men to know that you're not supposed to brandish a weapon or show off, unless you have intent to use it or in self defense. I really cant rationalize a gun for a sex encounter purposes without it being intimidating - this may not be your character now and I can't speak for your personal mindset at the time but that's how I feel.
