How about stupid fucking youtube tv-hosts wannabes who doesnt understand how the legal system works, or that even criminal rapist teens also have families, should we name and shame them too?
First, I think the hosts of this video have the naming/shaming you're suggesting handled multiple times in this video. Second, people on the internet aren't helping things?! HOLY SHIT LIGHT THE BAT SIGNAL!
I just don't get the hate in here. People are saying "I totally empathize with the victim" and then "I hate the hosts" but usually not "I hate the perpetrators" and that's just bizarre that there's more hate for people fucking around on the internet than for real life rapists.
The victim obviously was aware of the consequences (she's in a rather unfair position btw) and she named the rapists anyway. She obviously accepts that the law will punish her, which I think is rather heroic. She was raped, and she has been threatened with a penalty for talking about it, and that didn't stop her. I hope she is actually rewarded in the long run.


I did share some of my feelings towars the perpetrators, actually, and they werent positive either. As for people on the internet not helping, fair point, but there are ways of doing opinion pieces/news stories without making a bad situation worse.

My point is that one should be careful about this vigilante-business on the internet. Like it or not, there are human beings behind names and news-stories, We werent there when the crime happened, we werent there when the trial was held, we didnt even read the case files or make any effort. Because thats the courts and the legal systems job. It is also their job to find someone guilty or not and deal out punishments. Not our job.

I agree that in this case it looks like that system failed miserably, by even attempting to silence and punish the victim. That sucks, but instead of going vigilante on people, it might be a good idea to speak up against this system, appeal the descision or whatever it takes. Change the law. Thats all fine. Vigilante justice is not. That just means a bunch of uninformed trolls are responsible for dealing out sentences made using the armchair approach. We shouldt go back to that.

Rapists and murderers may be monsters to us, but society is, or atleast is supposed to be, better. To rise above revenge, bloodlust and tribal warfare, thats what civilization means.

I have no sympathy for these goddamn rapists, and if it was up to me, they should be named and shamed, they should be put in a fucking pillory on the town square and be whipped every fucking day. Yeah!!

But its not up to me.

This is why people invented a justice system. And because of thing called democracy and human rights, criminals dont always get what I think they deserve. In fact, they probably dont even get what they objectively DO deserve(however that might be determined). We have laws, under which we should all be equal. So then, should we bring back the pillory? Should we have a dedicated Twitter-feed for naming ALL rapists? How about these kids families, or the school they went to, that apparantly didnt teach them the basic rules about sex and sexual consent? Name and shame them all too?

I feel sorry for the girl who really was the victim of a crime, and I can understand why she did what she did on Twitter, but these stupid hacks on youtube arent making things better.

Perhaps I shouldn't have commented in the first place, but I figured it's a public thread and all, so why not?
Appreciate the level reply.


Nah, s'all good, the critique was appropriate and in review I jumped the gun a bit.

Then I suggest you check yourself for confirmation bias. I'm not suggesting that either way is right or wrong. I was just saying that Jinx pointed out that fanny means butt in US English and was told he/she was wrong. All I said was that Jinx was correct in his/her statement. Why the attacks on me? If you've got an issue with anyone bringing up US English, maybe you should attack Jinx.

Eh, fair point, although my first post was actually in reply to Jinx... ; P
I should have phrased it better, I didn't mean to infer that fanny wasn't US slang for butt. =)

What a stupid beat down you got for your funny joke.

Ah the Sift. Sometimes people just want to fight.
