Like it's not like saying marital rape isn't rape because it's legal, that's an argument most of us are much more comfortable with having It's saying that if you *do* break the law but you *don't get caught* then "in reality no crime occurred"

It's a very cynical POV, and it's one that is useful for certain purposes Like it's true that if in real life no one ever gets prosecuted for a crime then whatever it says on paper, that crime isn't really illegal then But that doesn't make that okay

Which is why I said the relevance of murder to defamation is tenuous at best. Philosophically it’s interesting but that’s about it. Practically the conflation of criminal law with civil law isn’t that illuminating.

A former classmate of mine raped a 14-year-old girl. Everyone, from the prosecutor to the defense, knew it. He admitted it. The only argument was how. He officially got "contributing to the delinquency of a minor." This legal realism would say I'm maligning him.
