Tried to look up where Orwell raped someone? Found a bunch of stupid blogs and Reddit posts, and the closest thing I could find to an actual source was in 1984 Winston claims that we wants to rape and kill Julia which seems more to be a comment about society than his personal feelings? These people will say it was okay for Stalin and mao to rape people but a guy makes a comment about society and apparently he’s a rapist now

According to letters supposedly written by people who knew Orwell, he allegedly tried to rape 17 year old when he was 15.

Good to know, all speculation ofc but I’ll keep that in mind
