re: Law & Order episode excuses rape because of racism

Don’t ever watch L&O anymore, but they are based off of real cases. Hargitay and the other guy clearly seem to disagree with her decision. Women are making these type of crazy decisions in some cases. I don’t get it, but I’m not ate up with white guilt either.

Just for my own edification, I wondered what the “leftist/woke” take would be on this, so I googled for episode reviews.

It looks like (at least this one writer) found the premise that a rape victim would “excuse” her rapist ridiculous

NOTE: I am not endorsing her views, I am simply sharing information relevant to the topic.

So, the whole thing is just framed as a couple of irrational bleeding hearts making Good Cop Captain Benson feel so very attacked. After Natalie explains herself (sort of), Olivia coaxes her back into the courtroom to tell the truth, as Olivia does. But part of what she says to accomplish that is just purely, utterly ridiculous.

“The answer is not to swing the pendulum too far in the other direction”?

Like, no shite? Who, in the history of ever, is actually advocating to just, like, have a no consequences crime free-for-all? And on what planet does a rape survivor compare something that had her crying, shaking, huddled on the floor and terrified of Liv’s approach…to putting the free in Freedent? Not this one. Same goes for…whatever that was with Brooke coming for Liv.

Wrong place, wrong time, complete fiction but in a bad way. Because, see, we appreciate the fiction that is Law & Order: SVU’s trademark — the idealism, the escapism, the chance for someone in the criminal justice system to actually give a shite about rape victims. The type of fiction in “Truth Embargo,” on the other hand…absolutely not. That’s the “copaganda spreaders trying to make folks who want accountability and justice reform into the most bizarre, out of touch, stereotypical caricatures possible” variety of fiction. And they can keep it. The only people who want rapists to face zero consequences are rapists and wannabe rapists — not people who want to tear down a broken system and replace it with something better.

No one hates women like progressives and feminists.

I'm getting my dick wolf tattoo removed. Sad!
