Rape Culture

A culture that casually promotes sexual assault and often involves victim blaming. It can take the form of men being treated as less masculine for being a survivor, a woman being told she's a whore and should have covered up in order to prevent rape, or prison rape not being treated as seriously as regular rape.

Jack: I was raped.
Joe: You can't have sex if you aren't erect, so obviously you wanted it.
Jack: That's a myth caused by rape culture.

Aplatonic

Aplatonic, abbreviated Apl (pronounced as "apple") is a term that is used most commonly by a-spec individuals that do not experience platonic attraction or by those who do not relate to the concept of platonic love.

The term has also been used by neurodivergent aromantics (particularly those with a schizophrenia spectrum disorders) and traumatized aro people, who might not desire friendship or other platonic relationships.

Aplatonic does not refer to someone who simply "doesn't have friends" or "doesn't want friends", rather it describes someone who does not experience "platonic crushes" or "squishes" like some a-spec people do. Some aplatonic people may still have strong platonic bonds (though not all desire strong platonic relationships), however they never experience a strong desire to be friends with someone in particular, or feel as though the term "love" can be applied to the relationship

dude: can aplatonics have relationships
girl : yes, non platonic relationships such as alterous or queerplatonic relationships are a thing. Even then, aplatonics can form friendships, but they simply don't have a desire to form platonic relationships with someone.
