Re: Jacob Geller - As someone who has experienced sexual assault myself, I personally still believe in rehabilitation for perpetrators who can admit they've fucked up. I think it's super unfair that the victim wasn't considered in ANY of this stuff being dug up, and maybe has been retraumatised...

...because of it. I do not know these people personally. I see so many people being mad that they haven't been told of every single bad thing people have done when they're a public figure. I don't understand what is gained from knowing that information.

I don't think it's bad to be upset. I do think that if you say you believe in restorative justice that you need to consider if you actually mean that, and what that looks like to you. Some of the responses are super parasocial and give me the ick.

My rapist wasn't punished because I didn't know what to do at the time and his brother was like "oh but he really likes you". Sick, love that. This situation does not sound like that.

from getting due process. Men are emboldened by their friends, society. I've seen men get a slap on the wrist from the courts for beating the shit out of their partner. Women only get questions like "what were you wearing?" "Did you make him angry?"
