He went from being a big fish in a little pond at his high school and local swim team to a little fish in a big pond at Stanford. I think this brought out his true colors which nobody from his hometown saw.
He was almost assured of a place on the Olympic team, if he'd not gotten in trouble. He wasn't a little fish in a big pond. He was a big fish in a big pond. He was an important swimmer on one of the most important swim teams in the US at one of the most prestigious schools in the US. A huge part of this is about jock entitlement.
Well obviously the world is a better place with this guy taken down, right? Why are you so gleeful about this guy's destruction? Granted he put himself in that situation and he was convicted by this jury, but why are you so thrilled about that? What part of that is funny about that?
I think this whole nightmare has been a tragedy for both Emily and Brock.

He was 19. I agree that he was inexperienced.
He's had girlfriends before. Unless they were platonic, I presume he was sexually active
He was new to drinking parties/hooking up. His former HS girlfriends only indicate that Bock consistently respected them and did not pressure them to do anything that they didn't want to do. These girls and Brock were still relatively inexperienced even if they did fool around together. I do think that it is significant that these girls speak highly of Brock. It says something about his character and his attitude towards women.
I do think that Brock was treating Emily in a less than respectful way. But that could have had more to do with the situation (drunken dancing/kissing/loud music) and simply the fact that he didn't know or care about this girl. He wanted to fool around and he thought that she did too.
What does it say about his character that he used the n word on the regular?
Huh?

They were both very drunk. If Brock had been the college grad and Emily the first year student I think this would have been more cut and dry. It's less a matter of male/female and more a matter of who had the experience.
I have an issue with a college grad showing up to a college party and getting completely blasted like that. I do think that she was there for a reason and I do not think that it is no accident that she was behind that dumpster with Brock. Why else would she have stayed at a party where she knew no one (why not just leave with her sister??) and continued to drink and dance and kiss Brock?
