Yes. Normies and non-normies alike have used Reddit as a goldmine for reviews & advice on niche products. Because it was generally real people giving real advice, and bullshit ads were downvoted.

This will incentivize abusive behavior and lead to it no longer functioning as a place you can reasonably expect real people/

I guess I just missed all that. I would see a random clip from him on Fox here and there but didn’t realize he was “known” for politics

The conservative sub was malding over this.

Like, was he even known for his politics? I knew him as a weird actor whose primary vehicle for comedy was just being a weird oddball. They really will just defend any sex criminal?

According to this

The survey of 27,541 state and federal inmates found that some 4.1 percent of adult prison inmates reported being sexually victimized in state and federal prisons during the prior 12 months

So yeah still quite common. At least in American federal prisons.

Yeah that’s a fair point. No point in being a dick about it though.

I don’t give two shits what happens to him personally

So, if there was a magic wand that made every rape convict magically incapable of sexual violence, you would be ok with them being set free with no time served?

I really just goes to the “Is prison a punishment, a rehabilitation system, or a deterrence”. If someone isn’t rehabilitated after 10 years, then they also won’t be after 20 (IMO). And there are lots of studies that show lengthy sentences don’t really function as a deterrence due to human brains poorly conceptualizing 5 vs 10 vs 15 vs 20 years. At some point it’s just “A long time in jail” and advocating for 10 vs 20 years doesn’t benefit the deterrence aspect. Also, your average violent criminal isn’t thinking “Well I WOULD rape her if it was only 5 years, but since it will be 10, I won’t”

So then it’s just about punishment. And 10 years in jail is a very very intense punishment. Forced to choose, I would take a LOT of other punishments to not have to spend the next 10 years in jail which, for what it’s worth, often leads to rape from others in the prison.

Honestly 10 years feels like roughly the right amount of time, assuming it’s actually 10 years in prison and not 18 months in a celebrity daycamp.

People change a lot in prison. Even a year or two. 10 years of prison later he will be a very very very different person, and I don’t think an additional 5+ years would really make much of a difference.

Twitter users when you say you hate the Democrats.
