Can relate. I was beat up by another kid of my age after practice because I beat him in a really small and unimportant Judo tournament. We were both 12 and his parents, my parents and the trainers all agreed that he just overreacted because he was scared the other boys would bully him. I switched to ballet afterwards.
I never thought it would bother me, until I actually sat in a car where everything was dependent on software the first time.
At first I thought I was just getting old. But it dawned on me that relying on software to fucking roll down the windows or starting the car doesn't feel too good.
(It was also an extreme jump in technology for me because the last car I drove before that was an old Corsa around the year ~2005.)
The average user of Lemmy has more empathy with a two times convicted rapist than with Amber Heard or that one woman from this atrocious Tiger King series.
Jep, Not even two years for his second rape.
Murder doesn't get laughable sentences. Like under two years for a repeated offender.
Murderes also normally don't have a whole bunch of people online rallying behind their right of redemption. It's only rapists who get this and suddenly everyone turns into Jesus online and demands the victims better forgive them!
Why is this "especially relevant to rape cases"?
What do you think can restorative justice look like for crimes like torture (that is what rape is)?
"Trauma is part of life"? Murder and dieing is also part of life. Sorry, but that just doesn't make sense. Trauma in a clinical sense is certainly not "part of life".
There is no reason why rape is judged much less severely than torture though.
In the absolute majority of rape cases there is no bettering themselves happening because the rapists never face any consequences to begin with.
RuneScape, Ark, ... DOTA2 (especially with that cry for help).
Some people get lost for thousands of hours in grand-strategy games like Europa Universalis. Or MMOs like Eve Online.
But feeling like the game consumed you is grinder and MOBA territory.
