Why do sex traffickers still receive human rights? Honestly. Once convicted they should be free use tissue. If the victim didn't wanna get revenge, they turn to medical slaves for testing. Something like that.
If you can't do the time, don't do the crime. Traffickers are uniquely evil and should get a unique legal treatment. I feel revulsion at a lot more acts and attitudes than I used to, but I've never felt bad at all for a trafficker. Even if there was a movie level backstory explaining them, until down otherwise, I feel is personally completely impossible for me to feel bad about anything that's happened to them, and I would feel absolute glee if I heard they so much as got a paper cut. No other people group do I so thoroughly enjoy every little thing that they don't enjoy. The sadder and more upset they get, the happier I am. But it only applies to them.
As a stupid kid I would have applied that to a lot of people. All of whom I feel terrible about it now. Except this one. I still love their suffering, and I don't see that ever stopping.
And I do understand the problems changing their status would bring up legally, but I still wish I could own a torture farm just for them. Make a Saw multiverse.
Same reason why the death penalty is bad - the system isn't perfect, and people get wrongfully convicted. Hell, a majority that the Innocence Project has gotten exonerated were convicted of sex crimes.
Practically, and in an actual setting, no doubt. I'm not sure that's a business we wanna get into in practice.
This is just an overgrown middle schooler way of saying how lowly I think they rank in particular.
