Is catching a beating a lesser crime than rape? or murder like Mathew Broderick did while driving drunk?

      But he killed a person nonetheless. How come it was not Vehicular Manslaughter or something.? Hell one guy is in jail for shooting Nikki Minaj in the foot.

    Wahlberg was arrested, charged, and served time (albeit a very little), also his main offense occurred in 1988. Spacey and Weinstein were continuing to offend, and along with Cosby were serial offenders.

    So you have a Wahlberg who was a piece of shit as a youth and then (as far as we know) corrected himself and remained hate-crime/assault free for going on nearly 40 years now vs rapists who were active until they were publicly outed.

      but he was barely criticized for asian hate crime and still got significant roles. Hollywood has a wierd fetish stereotyping asians.

        Barely criticized? It still comes up today, and Im not sure if its any consolation but the guy he attacked publicly forgave him after Wahlberg met with him and apologized in 2016.

        Im not sure what the stereotyping comment has to do with this discussion though.

    There’s an appreciable difference between beating up a guy and sexually assaulting many multiple people for decades.

    Both are bad, but one is badderer.

    The fact that you have no scale on how to rank those things is very concerning. Like, wow. You actually do not see the difference between an accident, violence, and rape? Just wow.

      So your saying all DWI’s are an accident? Almost killing a person gets a pass? But rape is were we draw the line?

        I didn’t draw any line. But if you think that physical violence, or an accident (even if caused by stupidity or whatever else) is as bad as an act that is designed to destroy someone completely, then you are part of the problem.

        Are you one of those people that defend rapists by saying “innocent until proven guilty”?

            It would be terrifying to be in a world where opinions need to be backed up by a court of law, and yet here we are.

            If you don’t believe victims of rape, you’re on the side of the rapists, and I’ll tell you fuck you for that.

            And the fact that you had to intervene to say “no but it’s good to defend rapists” says a lot about what your opinion on the matter is.

              You continue to say some of the craziest things I’ve heard in a long time.

              Please continue! What else you got locked up in that dome of yours you’ve been wanting to let loose??

                Considering people innocent until proven guilty matters for the justice system. An individual’s opinion are not bound to this.

                Rape in particular sees an extreme minority of perpetrators being condemned. If you decide to then believe the legal conclusion, rather than the words of the victims, you are siding with an unfair system that protects rapists.

                But sure, with your logic you shouldn’t call a guy like Trump a rapist because you know, he hasn’t been proven guilty. Way to go.

                  You’re a strange dude… You seem too want to craft an entire legal system around one perceived problem and are completely ignorant to the huge number of problems that would create… This is hurting my head reading this nonsense so I won’t be continuing this conversation. Good riddance

    racism agianst non-south ASIAN seems to be glossed over compared to blacks, jewish people, and even lgbtq+. almost all the attacks against asians are almost never on the news for very long.

    to be fair spacey wouldve gotten off scott free if rapp dint come do interviews before the pandemic, he just dug his own grave deeper because he try to excuse his behaviour of SA-ing gay minors.

      I would argue racism against south Asians is fairly normalized also as there have been targetted hate campaigns online which spill over into the real world. It goes back to the model minority myth and both not being a traditionally disenfranchised group.

      I am asking because I’m genuinely curious, not because I’m racist, but I heard this was because the attackers were primarily black people, is this true?

    Besides all the other things people listed, in law we appreciate that sexual violence is kind of worse than just physical violence, and if there’s power dynamics at play and psychological dependency, it gets even more morally apprehensive.

    What I’m saying even just the sexual nature makes it worse for me, but of course there’s more.

    That said, I did not know about what Mark Wahlberg did, and obviously not great.

    I think sex crimes are much more character defining. Personally, I dont think there are many who push themselves toward violence and murder. Sure there are those okay with violence and psychos that kill for pleasure but nowhere near the level of sex crimes.

    I also think that violent people can be rehabilitated whereas sexual deviants can only hide from themselves.

    I dont think a single instance 40 years ago is enough to hold someone to account today but if it were sexual I would not believe it were a single instance.

    This culture looks down on sexual assault (rightfully so), but it glorifies violence in many cases.

      also the fact asian hate crimes arnt seen as serious as ones done against other POCs. racism against asian in hollywood isnt seen as much of effect as it would if was done to african american. because asians are and sitll heavily stereotyped in hollywood.
