      isn’t technically a war crime

      You’re acting like this is some sort of situation that brushes up against being a war crime but falls just short because of some small, pedantic technicality, but no. As you can plainly read, this isn’t even close to a war crime under international law, which is the entire way a war crime is defined, because it’s, you know, a crime. You can’t just hallucinate up international conventions on war and then act all offended when someone points out they don’t exist.

      This isn’t just “not technically a war crime”; this is unambiguously not a war crime and was never in any danger of even approximating one.

      Yes.

      Do you consider castration, rape, and other systematic tortures horrific and to be fought back against with every tooth and claw available?
